Alexandra was very helpful in walking us through all the necessary steps, and she was kind enough to recommend a great mortgage lender, Robert Yusupov, to help us with our first time home buying experience. She was very persistent and patient in working with both parties to compromise on unexpected house repairs required prior to closing. I highly recommend Alexandra, you'll be in good hands. Thanks for making the stressful home buying process easier for us!

They made us feel confident, supported, and genuinely prioritized throughout the entire process. Their communication was exceptional -- they always responded quickly, and on the rare occasion they couldn't get back to us right away, they let us know, but we still always received a response within the day. They guided us through each step with clarity and expertise, and we never once felt lost because they were consistently there to help. We'd choose them again without hesitation because of the trust we've built with them and the depth of knowledge they bring. We're thrilled with how everything turned out, and we truly couldn't have done it without their support. Highly recommend!

There is a Giant Gap between someone that has a Real Estate License and someone that knows how to…read moreSell Real Estate in a Buyers Market when nothing is selling and there are ton's of properties for sale. It's very easy to get a Real Estate License but 90% of people holding a license really have no business in the Real Estate Industry--let me tell you. The Folan's have Real Estate in their blood. Their mom was an accomplished Broker that taught them how to sell. I wish I was born into their family. When I needed to sell a condo in NYC during a recession, there were no buyers and tons of distressed properties on the market. Most people told me not to sell--wait a few years--but I wasn't living in it and the monthly carrying charges were eating me alive! Before finding the Folans I hired (and fired) two other Agencies in Queens that did not know the first thing about how to sell a property! They let my condo languish for months telling me that there are no buyers--it's the wrong time! Then I spoke to a lawyer friend of mine in Manhattan--and he told me the only people in Queens that are going to be able to sell a condo right now are the Folans. To which I responded: "What are the Folans!?" "I need a Realtor I said--not a Band!" So I contacted them, and they just know how to find a buyer--they just have a way of doing it that is time tested--and my condo was sold within 2 months--they had 2 Buyers competing--after fussing with 2 other Agencies that promised me the world for 8 months that brought me nothing! And even better--they recommended a crack lawyer to do the closing. This guy was the best! So if you ask me--if I was selling a property in Queens--I would come here. Or you can go to any other agency in Queens if you really don't want to sell your property but just want to pretend it's for sale. Now I just want to say one last thing--while these ladies look good--you see their picture--they are as tough as nails and probably eat raw meat for dinner. I don't think you are going to get that touchy-feely service here--I did not feel that warm welcoming attitude that I usually look for--nor did I think they wanted any more business from me in the future--but you will get that focused attention to sell your property from professionals that live and breath this stuff.

Very disappointing experience with Venus Cheng at Chase Realty…read more I completed the application process, was approved, signed the lease documents provided to me, received wire instructions for payment, and continued to receive communications indicating the apartment was mine and that the lease was moving forward. After all of that, I was abruptly informed that management would not be proceeding and was given no explanation despite repeated requests. At best, this was a highly misleading and unprofessional leasing process. At worst, it raises serious concerns about how prospective tenants are treated. I would be very cautious about relying on representations that an apartment is yours or that a lease is moving forward based on what Chase Realty tells you.

My husband and I had a great experience with Tim Ho and his group at Keller Williams. We owned a…read more3-4 bedroom co-op in Bayside and put it up for sale in June of 2021. We had interviewed 4 agents but Tim stood out to us; he was smart and had a good understanding of the co-op market at the time. He explained that it was sluggish but, gave us a realistic price point with which to start. He had an excellent photographer who took phenomenal pictures of our apartment and made it look like a palace! Within a short time, our co-op sold for a good price, without having to hold any annoying and inconvenient "Open Houses". We were grateful for this, especially during Covid. Anyway, 2 months later we were in contract and Tim helped us through all the details. He answered all our questions in detail and responded quickly to our concerns, making sure that our needs were met. Additionally, Tim has wonderful co-workers who were highly responsive and knowledgeable as well. His assistant, Jeanette, was always there to answer questions and help out. She gave us lots of personal attention and accompanied prospective buyers who were brought in by other agents. Overall, the Tim Ho group is by far, the best real estate professionals we have ever dealt with. From beginning to end Tim and his colleagues were attentive, respectful, and did the best job of getting our co-op sold quickly at a good price! I would recommend them to anyone!

I can't say enough good things about Benjamin Realty. I found them by answering an ad they had…read moreplaced on Craigslist for an apartment. Benjamin called me back (by calling me back, he was already a step ahead of many of the brokers I contacted) and we made an appointment to meet at their office. As a side note, parking is pretty convenient - plenty of meters out front or on the nearest side street, and free on the block behind the office. When I arrived, Benjamin greeted me and we chatted for a moment, and then he indicated that Jason would be taking me to see a couple of places. I had indicated that I was on a tight schedule in regards to finding a place, and they told me they would find me something that day. Jason was friendly, warm, professional, humorous, and unbelievably helpful. I was fairly clear in my own mind what I wanted in an apartment, but, being new to New York and knowing absolutely nothing about Queens, was open in regards to what neighborhood I ended up in as well as some other factors. I have no idea how many apartments we looked at, but it seemed like a lot. Jason was respectful in regards to what I was looking for in an apartment - he even thanked me when I nixed a place based on the creepy hallway (I would have looked at it, but he was having trouble getting a hold of the super). And they were good on their promise - the last place they showed me, I liked, and I came back two days later to put in an application. Fortunately, I did not get accepted to that apartment. Jason asked whether I'd want to see studios and I said that I really didn't, but he encouraged me to take a look at this one place and he would check to see if he had anything else available. When I arrived for our second appointment, I said that I REALLY didn't want to see the studio but he encouraged me to do so anyway. I have had many great experiences with salespeople who encourage me to try something slightly different than what I was originally looking for - if they are really great at their job, they really do know what they are talking about! We arrived at the studio - in yet another neighborhood - and it had been listed incorrectly - it was a one bedroom! And it was more perfect than I could have hoped for. I applied for it right away and was accepted. Throughout the process, both Benjamin and Jason were professional, friendly and helpful. They were also great at following up, keeping their promises, and being on time. They have fee and no-fee apartments - mine had a fee, and it was worth every penny!
