As first-time homebuyers, working with Roman Trevino was perhaps the best decision we could have…read moremade for this overwhelming process. He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!

After we put down our initial nonrefundable deposit, but before actually signing the lease, there was a bit of a mixup between myself and the tenant living there and the tenant ended up owing us some money back. I was pretty skeptical that this would happen (it's NYC, after all) but Alex gave me his word that we would get the money owed. Lo and behold, after signing, we did receive the money from the previous tenant, with Alex mediating the transaction. He was also able to help us secure an expensive TV model from the previous tenant at a surprisingly low cost. Lastly, when we put the original application down, it was for a lease assignment, but Alex convinced the building to give us our own new, annual lease. Thanks, Alex!

As a former New Yorker I was out-of-touch with local real estate, and followed through with the referral. My first impression of Claudia was that she's young, not as experienced as her older colleagues. With that said, she did a great job as our agent. Claudia is responsive, recommending studio apartments that met our budget and criteria; she actually pre-screened a few units and was readily available on our limited trips to NY. (We're based in Pennsylvania.) Claudia is part of the successful Stanica team at Douglas Elliman. When there were contractual questions and issues germane to our purchase, Claudia got sage advice from Simona Stanica and other members of the team. We were in good hands. Claudia is based at 575 Madison Avenue. The office number is 212/350-8500 and her email is claudia.hason2@elliman.com. If we ever sell the studio, I will sign Claudia on to represent us.
