Jeff helped my partner and I find the co-op of our dreams in Jackson Heights - his familiarity with and love for the neighborhood is unparalleled. He guided us through the process and was a great mentor through a complex process. He was honest and forthcoming, giving us good advice but never pressuring us. We would highly recommend Jeff for any of your real estate needs and look forward to seeing him around the neighborhood. read more

If you are reading this recommendation, I can tell you you are done searching for the perfect person to help you with your house hunt because it does not get better than Jeff. Jeff Putterman is genuinely the best in business: from his historical knowledge base in the neighborhoods he represents, to his insights into the buildings, and especially his invaluable relationships with other agents in the city. Jeff will tell you like it is, and always be extremely clear and thorough. I can say with full certainty that he will take care of you as he did my husband and I in our apartment hunt. As first time home buyers, I felt the NYC real estate market to be crazy and very predatory. But having Jeff in my corner made me feel very empowered in every decision I made in this process as a young POC woman. I had a LOT of questions and zero insight into this journey and Jeff met all my curiosity with understanding and resources. Any time I had any questions (genuinely any time and any question), Jeff was there in multiple modalities to help me completely understand all aspects of my inquiries. Jeff made me feel welcome and educated through every single step of the way and unlike other realtors did not pressure us about a single thing. His one goal is to find you a home you love. We won't be selling for a very long time, but when and if we do I only want to work with Jeff. :) Thank you Jeff for being so wonderful, kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. You are the golden standard of this profession and we are so incredibly lucky to have worked with you. read more

Moving into my new co-op that I absolutely love, and I have to thank Jeff! He was my buyer's agent and helped me through every step. I had some specific wants coming into the process, and Jeff was wonderful and supportive in the time it might take to find the perfect place and so knowledgeable about the buildings and boards in Jackson Heights so I always viewed any apartment with all the information. We found a place much sooner than expected but the application and finalizing process took quite long, and Jeff was such a helpful and patient guide through it all. I couldn't be happier as I write this from my new apartment, and I can't recommend Jeff enough. read more

If you are looking to buy in Jackson Heights - Jeff is the person you want to work with. We bought an apartment with Jeff this spring and it was a fantastic experience. Realtors in NYC are a dime a dozen, but good ones are few and far between. Most leave you to do all the work and just show up when it's time to get the commission check. Jeff, on the other hand, showed a deep knowledge of Jackson Heights and an understanding of how to navigate Co-Op boards, and get the application approved. I would use him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone. read more

Jeff came highly recommended from a friend who bought a co-op in Jackson Heights several years ago, so when it came time to start our search, we knew where to start. Searching for a co-op is an iterative process -- unless you've bought in the neighborhood before, you aren't always aware of what the stock is, what's available, and where to find what you're looking for. I've lived in Jackson Heights for six years, and knew what areas I wanted to live in, but didn't know which buildings had 4 bedroom apartments (not many!), which ones have a 3 bedroom that is effectively a 2 bedroom with a maid's quarters, and which ones have hellish co-op boards that you wouldn't want to touch with a 10 foot pole. Jeff has an impressive encyclopedic knowledge of Jackson Heights, and knew exactly in which buildings we'd find what we're looking for, which listings had a maintenance fee that was just a tad high for what they were offering, and which units were actually good deals. We spent a few months looking at co-ops with Jeff to figure out what we wanted and what compromises we were willing to make, and through that process, Jeff was able to get a really good sense of what we were looking for. It's no surprise that when Jeff got excited about a listing ("I think you guys are gonna like this one," I remember him saying), he was absolutely right. The unit we ended up buying wasn't the shiniest unit with the fanciest renovation, nor was it a rock bottom great deal -- but it was just right for what we wanted. He was totally spot-on with his assessment of what fit the profile we were looking for. Being our first time, he talked us through the whole process, making the offer, and helping us put together our monster co-op application. He was an invaluable source of knowledge, support, and humor throughout the whole process, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without him. I appreciate Jeff's honesty, and his no bullshit attitude. At no point did we ever feel pressured into seeing/liking something that wasn't in line with our vision, and his assessments were always spot on. If you are looking at buying in Jackson Heights, I cannot recommend Jeff enough. read more

As a first time property buyer, I highly recommend Jeff! I had initially looked for agents in the area after viewing a co-op property I liked and came across Jeff. All the previous reviews seemed genuine and reassuring which ultimately led to me to reach out. I had studied up on the buying process, but there were still many things I didn't know and learned from Jeff. He helped me negotiate, prep for the board interview (which later we found out didn't need to happen), and overall gave great support during the whole buying process. Jeff consistently provided quick and timely replies via email to any questions I had along the way. He was great at giving advice and helping coordinate with the seller's side for any questions or resolving obstacles. I didn't meet Jeff in person until the final walkthrough and I think it goes to show how reliable he was the whole time that there wasn't even a need. We finally closed today after a few months. While Jeff didn't need to...I appreciated his kind gesture of providing a celebratory gift. While it's not much, this review is a small gift in return. I'll definitely be reaching out again when the time comes. Thank you so much Jeff for all the help and support during the last few months!! read more

I used Beaudoin Realty Group when I purchased my Jackson Heights Co-op years ago and was very happy so called them when I needed to sell the same unit. Jeff Putterman came to my place to discuss everything. I thought he was honest and knowledgeable and hired him the end of March and gave him keys. Jeff made the arrangements for the video, photos and description to sell my place and placed the ads everywhere in April. I had multiple offers quickly which Jeff helped me sort through. From the moment I accepted an offer to the moment I closed -- this week! YAY -- Jeff was guiding the process. When there were hiccups with the buyer's bank or attorney, Jeff jumped in to help solve the problems and kept everything moving forward. He knows the neighborhood, and if you need recommendations, he is very helpful. Jeff was truly motivated and I highly recommend him and Beaudoin Realty Group. read more

Jeff is an amazing realtor. He accompanied us through a long and windy journey to find the perfect home and location for our family - never rushing us or questioning the places we wanted to see, always sharing great advice and knowledge about buildings, houses (structural issues, etc.), and locations. In addition, as a queer interracial couple with a young child, it was a breath of fresh air to work with a professional who treated us with respect, and became a part of our team in making this huge decision. read more

With local knowledge, patience, integrity, and a good sense of humor, Jeff took us all the way from window shopping to purchasing our first coop in Jackson Heights. He helped us make the right decision without ever feeling pushy, negotiated fairly and effectively with the seller, and made the coop application process about as pain-free as possible. Throughout the process he was extremely responsive by phone, text, or email, and we always felt that we were in a safe pair of hands. He also connected us with an attorney and contractors who were seasoned professionals and fairly priced, helping tie up loose ends. I would work with Jeff again (though I love our new home and don't intend to transact anytime soon) and would recommend him to anyone, particularly those looking to transact in Jackson Heights where his local knowledge was an obvious differentiator: he knew the buildings, the brokers, and the market and that was a competitive advantage for us as buyers. read more

Over the long course of our recently-ended search for a co-op apartment, we dealt with several agents in several different neighborhoods. Some were better than others, but Jeff Putterman was by far the best of any of them. First and foremost, Jeff has expansive local knowledge of every building and every board and every agent and every lawyer in Jackson Heights. He's tough but funny and non-judgmental, even if you are a first-time buyer with a never-ending list of questions. He understood from our first conversation what we were looking for and never pushed us to consider anything we couldn't afford or wouldn't have been happy with. His advice on pricing and timing was as valuable as his support in navigating the co-op application and interview process. We could always rely on him for quick and honest responses to our questions and we felt we were in good hands every step of the way. First-time home buying is always stressful, but Jeff was a true partner from our first conversation to closing day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home in Jackson Heights. Could we have done it without him? Maybe. Would we have wanted to? Absolutely not. read more

I was really happy with Jeff during the sale of my apartment. It's a stressful situation and he took the lead to put my mind at ease and got my place sold for a good price! He worked with me throughout the process and was on the ball at every turn. He found the right buyer for my apartment and I'm forever grateful. He's super knowledgeable about the business and Jackson Heights real estate. He knows all the co-ops and respective boards. I know when I'm ready to buy another place, Jeff will be the one to find it for me. Thanks for everything, Jeff! read more

As first time home buyers looking for an apartment in Queens, we reached out to a few local real estate agents and it became clear very quickly that Jeff was the right person to help us navigate the wild world of NYC real estate. He responded so quickly to any question or comment we raised (and we had plenty) and always gave us his very honest opinion on the apartment or building we were looking in. His knowledge of Jackson Heights real estate was tremendous and his insights were a huge asset throughout the process. Our particular apartment search was very rocky in that we ended up dealing with a co-op board that did not treat us fairly and Jeff was our advocate throughout the entire process and we always felt that he had our back 100%. When that deal fell through, Jeff was realistic but always optimistic that we would end up with an apartment that we were happy with, which ultimately came true. Jeff's honesty, sense of humor and responsiveness was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise challenging first foray into the NYC real estate market. We couldn't have done it without him. We look forward to seeing him in the neighborhood! Use Jeff for either buying or selling your next property!!! read more

We worked with Jeff to buy our first home in NYC. We knew very little about the process and Jeff patiently took the time to explain everything and made us feel comfortable. He was always available and answered questions quickly and honestly. We felt like we had someone on our side throughout the whole process. Jeff is also extremely knowledgeable about the industry and market so we learned a lot throughout the process. He thoroughly looked through every house we visited, knew what questions to ask, and knew what red flags to look for that could be problematic. Jeff was always a quick phone call or text away to answer any and all of our questions. He made the entire process very smooth and eased any worries we had throughout. We highly recommend working with Jeff! read more

Jeff is a professional. Not only did we find him highly recommended on Yelp (you're here reading this, aren't you?!), we are thrilled that he and his team came through 1,000%!! Buying or selling a property is no small ordeal, but Jeff made our sale as smooth as it could have been. He and the team are experts in the Queens area. He explains the little things along the way and was more than happy to answer all of our questions. Even when our buyers made bizarre requests, Jeff was there for us and assisted in every way possible. Jeff is also an interesting person and we enjoyed getting to know him. We happily closed on our sale earlier this month and know that Jeff and the team at Beaudoin will not disappoint you! read more

Jeff is a great guy, knowledgeable agent, and a helluva negotiator. Our purchase was easy money, considering we had already found the place we wanted. But Jeff's advocacy was an enormous asset at the negotiation table. In a building where sponsor sales where going at or above asking, Jeff was able to see through the smokescreens of the seller's agent, and get us 6% below. Obviously every sale is different, but you can't go wrong trusting in his guidance and support. Finally, although it's not a direct reflection of his abilities and work ethic, it's great when you see your agent around the neighborhood; which we do. Jeff cares about Jackson Heights. So much so that he himself lives here. And that means a lot, because he puts his money where his mouth is. read more

Jeff is a great real estate agent. I'm a first time home buyer and he walked me through the process with great patience and guidance. I highly recommend him to home buyers! read more

We found exactly what we were looking for and at the price we wanted - all thanks to Jeff. After a year of searching and being priced out of Manhattan and Brooklyn, we started our search anew in Jackson Heights. Having dealt with plenty of poor "Real Estate Agents" over the past year, my wife and I were extremely lucky to have teamed up with Jeff: 1. Selection: Jeff listened carefully to what we wanted and only showed us properties we would be interested in. 2. Pricing: Jeff understood our budget and never went beyond it. 3. Patience: Even when we had extremely stupid or inane questions, Jeff answered promptly and in full detail. 4. Informative: Jeff always kept us abreast of properties that were about to come on the market and made sure we had access to first time showings. 5. Knowledge: Having been a Jackson Heights resident for many years, Jeff has encyclopedia knowledge of all the co-ops/1-2 family homes. He knows details such as floor plans, maintenance fees, board rules, financials, plumbing, rules on pets, walk-ups v. elevators, etc., etc. 6. Reliability: Even after we signed the contract on our future home, Jeff helped us through the entire deal. To this day, 3 months after the purchase, he still answers our e-mails (e.g., zoning, best place to shop, landmark rules, etc.) 7. Affable: Jeff has a great personality and is a pleasure to be around. It really makes a big difference to around someone you and trust and feel comfortable with. I really hope this review helps anyone who is searching for a home in Jackson Heights. Go with Beaudoin and you can't go wrong. read more

Jeff was a fantastic agent who took great care in ushering me through the process of buying my new home (a co-op) in Queens, New York. I feel really grateful for his level of knowledge about the process, his skill as an agent, and the personal advocacy he afforded me throughout the process. It is because of him that I live in the home of my dreams, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy. read more

Jeff was great to work with during our first homebuying experience. Some highlights: 1. He has an exhaustive knowledge of the market and listened carefully to what we wanted, only showing us apartments that were good matches. 2. When we got outbid on an apartment we really liked, Jeff was respectful of our financial limits and never pressured us to raise our bid. 3. Even more impressive, he ultimately was able to get our (lower!) bid accepted with his deft negotiating skills. We were flabbergasted. 4. He supported us through the intimidating co-op interview process and spent hours meticulously getting our application in order. 5. When we had to move out of our old apartment but hadn't yet closed on the new place, Jeff was extremely supportive and fielded my panicked, nightly calls with patience. He even at one point offered to lend us his car and store our things in his apartment. 6. He is personable and funny. Really funny. My boyfriend and I said to each other a number of times that we couldn't imagine having gone through this process with anyone else as our faithful guide. Thank you, Jeff! read more

I extremely recommend Jeff, he is the best realtor and knowledgeable in what he's doing to me. You cannot go wrong with him. I have purchased the Co-op, worked with him, and he was on the seller's side. He has educated me and worked with me diligently, and he gained my trust. He knows all the information related to buildings, management, and the area. Unfortunately, the realtor I picked did not help me much with the document preparation. However, he was crafty in every detail to ensure we made the most vital document to the building management. He was a significant part of the process and successfully helped me purchase the lovely studio in Jackson Heights. He's my best choice. If I ever sell my Co-op, I know I will succeed working with him. read more

My husband and I rented in Jackson Heights for around four years before we decided to look for a place to buy. A different realtor at Beaudoin Realty had found us our rental apartment, which we loved, so we decided to ask Jeff to help us find a place to buy in the neighborhood. I'm so glad we did! Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the buildings here, and knew what buildings were worth looking and which ones were best avoided. He was also excellent at calming down my first-time buyer jitters, and believe me, I was not only jittery but completely ignorant about most of the process. He sent us to an excellent real estate lawyer and a fantastic lender, both of whom were also great to work with. If you're looking for a place and Jackson Heights and Woodside, you're making a mistake if you call anyone but Jeff. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I just purchased a co-op in Jackson Heights this November and I couldn't have done it without the help of Jeff Putterman. I can't recommend him more highly. What you should know first is that Jeff has an encyclopedia-like knowledge of the buildings in Jackson Heights. Off the top of his head he had information on the buildings, the neighborhood, the surrounding stores and restaurants, and even the co-op boards. That knowledge came in handy while looking at places with Jeff and helped me feel comfortable selecting my new apartment. It was from that moment when making the offer to submitting the application to the co-op board that I really began to understand the value and importance of working with Jeff. He worked with me to get the best value when making my offer and getting it accepted and then guided me through the confusing, stressful, an difficult process of completing a co-op application. If you're looking for a realtor who has a deep base of knowledge, strong negotiating skills, and can lead you through the co-op process, there's no better agent than Jeff. read more

Jeff is an exceptional agent and person. He consistently goes above and beyond to provide a level of support throughout the process that proved invaluable - especially during these unpredictable times. I appreciate his attentiveness, professionalism and patience, and would recommend him with my highest enthusiasm! read more

Jeff kindly showed us several units in the area and is a trusted consultant with an abundance of knowledge and appreciation of Jackson Heights. We enjoyed his pointed comments and opinions on the various units we viewed and trusted his advice. Jeff was generous with his time and schedule, allowing us to view what became out new home on several occasions for as long as we wanted. Our first home buying experience was easy to navigate. Thanks Jeff! We appreciate all of your help with purchasing our co-op. We are loving the new place! read more

Jeff was great! I took him out of his comfort zone of Queens and tasked him with finding me a home in the western area of the Bronx. Not only did Jeff take on this task, but he took it on during one of the most tumultuous times in real estate in NYC. After a couple of months and some hard-nosed negotiating, we pulled through. Highly recommend Jeff. read more

Working with Jeff makes life easy. He's a great negotiator, and we were really glad to have him on our side. Jeff understands NYC real estate inside and out and he does his homework on every detail to make sure you get the best deal you can. Jeff is also easy to talk to and comfortable to be around. We highly recommend working with Jeff, you'll be glad you did. read more

Jeff helped my partner and I buy our first home together in Jackson Heights. He came highly recommended from our friends who were also buying a coop in JH. I can't speak highly enough of him. He really fought for us and kept us informed every step of the way. He didn't treat us like clients but like his future neighbors. It was a great experience and we love our home. read more

I reached out to Jeff to see if he can assist with providing a comp analysis for my multifamily. Though our communication just began, I want to leave a review as he's been incredibly prompt in responding and helpful. He even went out of his way to provide me with zoning information that would enable expansion of my building structure. I had no idea. He's professional, knowledgable and great to work with. read more

Jeff and Michelle of Beaudoin Realty provided a great home buying experience for us. There was a lot that we didn't know given that this is the first home that we'd purchased. Jeff was always there with the answers when we needed them. Jeff was super helpful throughout the home search, the inspection, the final walkthrough, and the closing meeting. Michelle was great at helping us through the bidding process. Would recommend them both highly! read more

Jeff was exactly what we were looking for in a realtor- someone who knows the ins and out of the Jackson Heights neighborhood and could give us the inside scoop on specific buildings. He's a straight-shooter, and someone we really felt we could trust. Coming from out of town, his insight was invaluable and he went the extra mile to accommodate us when we needed help with various things. He knows how to present buyers to co-op boards, and made sure we had all our ducks in a row. He's patient and understanding and never pressures you into a decision you're not sure about. We recommend Jeff whole-heartedly. read more

Jeff Putterman is an exceptionally honest, hardworking, knowledgeable, and caring real estate agent. Jeff went far above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect home. He always put our best interests ahead of his own, a true testament to his exceptional honesty and integrity. He is responsive and answers questions carefully and thoughtfully, understanding that the home buying process is overwhelming. Every step of the way, we knew we could trust Jeff to give us excellent, candid advice. Jeff frequently sent us listings and was always respectful of our parameters. He never once encouraged us to increase our budget. He was patient and made sure we got to see a range of properties so that we would be confident with our final decision. We knew he wanted us to find the perfect home, not just to close a deal. Jeff has an encyclopedic knowledge of Jackson Heights real estate and is eager to share his knowledge with his clients. I can't imagine choosing to work with a different agent. Working with Jeff will make your stressful home buying process enjoyable. read more

As first-time homebuyers, we were wary of who to trust. Jeff was great, had a lot of insider knowledge of neighborhoods, and helped us figure out what to expect (or avoid) in houses. He was never pushy, and was very comfortable to speak with. We felt that his suggested bids for houses were reasonable and similar to what we had predicted before asking. He was great at handling an antagonistic seller agent who repeatedly acted and communicated unprofessionally, including potentially disrupting the final contract signing. Regardless of the situation he always remained calm and professional with us which we had great respect for. We had initially considered buying without an agent, but am so glad we had Jeff to provide advice and also act as a buffer during negotiations. read more

My partner and I met Jeff while looking for a one bedroom apartment in Jackson Heights. The first place he showed us was great, but a little bit out of budget. After we turned that one down, he passed along more options to us via email, and thankfully there was one that was in a great location and right in our budget. He helped us double-check everything during a daunting application process, and also connected us with a great real estate lawyer. A very kind and thoughtful guy to work with. read more

If you're looking to buy a home in Queens, do yourself a favor and call Jeff Putterman. We first met him last summer when my husband and I were looking at an apartment in Jackson Heights. He was the listing agent, but the unit had just gone into contract. Blast! But he was quick to find us other options, respected our limits of what we could swing financially, and regularly forwarded me new listings to look over. Within a couple of weeks, he forwarded us the perfect apartment in Woodside. He met us at the open house, and when we told him we were really interested, he was clear and concise about how to go about putting in a bid. Throughout a very stressful and frustrating bidding war (the listing agent was a dolt, so it was extremely important to have Jeff working for us), he was the sane, sensible, and fun person in our corner we desperately needed. Once our bid was accepted, he helped us find an attorney who got the contract drafted within 48 hours (a requirement of the sellers). He gave us invaluable insight into building the best co-op board packet ever and was incredibly helpful preparing us for the board interview. All the way through the closing he was on top of everything, replied to emails within minutes, and was a calm voice of reason when our deal got over-the-top ridiculous. From start to finish, Jeff was a beacon of light. I don't plan on moving for at least 30 years, but if I am ever in the position to buy or sell a home again, I will be calling Jeff. He has been in the business for decades, knows the area like the back of his hand, and is respectful of your boundaries. Many brokers I spoke with did not understand the concept of a top limit, but Jeff did. He didn't try to push something on us that he knew we couldn't afford. He gets it, and he truly wants to help you find the perfect home. Don't waste your time with anyone else. Call Jeff. read more

I want to call out Jeffrey Putterman as an outstanding broker. I had the great pleasure of working with Jeff as I transitioned from a Manhattan residence to a beautiful coop in the Jackson Heights Historic District. Jeff's historical knowledge, professionalism, honesty and sage guidance are what all potential buyers (and sellers) need in a broker. I found him by sheer serendipity. When I checked his credentials, I could not believe that fate had lead me to his doorstep. At our first meeting he presented as professional, competent, seasoned and totally confident that that we could work together. Within days, Jeff was showing me properties and/or presenting me with options based on my clear "must have" list. He never detained me or wasted my time with properties he knew were not in my zone. Nor did he give up or let me give up. We worked together for months and months before the perfect unit presented itself. Over time, his professional and personal qualities were further confirmed. What made the difference was Jeff's knowledge of the Historic District, the market and his hard work. Adhering to my specific parameters he found me the perfect apartment. Jeff worked with me and the Seller from showing through closing. We were so happy to have him at our closing table. I enjoyed getting to know Jeff personally and appreciate his intelligence, humor (he is very funny), responsiveness and knowledge. I recommend Jeffrey Putterman very highly. Anouche M. read more

If you are in the market there should be no other choice but Jeff. After working with other realtors i found Jeff's ad on yelp and liked what I had read.l was not happy with my previous choices so I had nothing to lose. All it took was one call\email and Jeff hit the ground running. He listens which is key in this process. Not only does he have personality but he is very patient, honest, funny and is very very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. Any questions I had he was quick to answer it for me. He made this process as easy as possible. Him and his team will make the impossible be possible. And if your looking into the Queens area he knows it in and out. If your in the market give him a call. Your only regret will be not reaching out to him sooner. Your the Man Jeff!!!! read more

Buying a coop in NYC is harder than becoming president. It's a stressful, time-consuming, and anxiety provoking process. And Jeff Putterman is the person you want to guide you through it. He listened closely to what we wanted out of a home, was straightforward with us with our budget, and in order to get us what we need, widened his search beyond his catchment area and was able to find us a beautiful apartment on the border of Woodside/Sunnyside that we couldn't have dreamed of living in. He also fielded my anxious phone calls and stood up for us when things went slightly off course during the closing process (which they inevitably will), with the utmost patience and professionalism,. We are so, so lucky and we owe it to Jeff. read more

Jeff was patient and responsive throughout the entire process. He has an extensive knowledge of Jackson Heights real estate and did a great job of advertising the property. Jeff always returned calls and emails right away and it was clear that he was working hard on my behalf. I highly recommend Jeff for all of your Queens real estate needs, no one knows Jackson Heights better! read more

My husband and I would like to Jeff for doing a great job for us, not only in selling our home, but in helping us to find our new home. Jeff was there to help us every step of the way. He made a very stressful process go smoothly. He is also a very entertaining person. Thanks again Jeff!!!! read more
