Why us.

So, what gives us more expertise than the broker who sold you your apartment, or the agent who advised you to purchase it? Over the 25 years, we’ve helped clients buy and sell many homes with private outdoor space and like most agents, we originally paid only nominal attention to the exterior space itself. However, after dozens of these transactions, a few absolute truths became obvious to us.

Our team is composed of real estate experts that have closed over 30m+ in sales of coops, condos, and townhouses across New York City ranking in top of NYC’s top real estate firms, but that’s the least of why you should be impressed. Unlike any other brokers or even brokerages, our team spent years becoming experts in terraced real estate and then created the most comprehensive database of terraced properties that allows us to more accurately calculate terraced property value, make the search for a terrace home easier, and empower our clients with information that is not biased, rather data-driven. If you’d like to learn more about our analytic approach visit our research page, here.

Every single day our mission is to build upon this success by creating even more resources for terrace homeowners during every stage of ownership, buying, selling, and holding. We. believe that our expertise provides homeowners with real estate guidance beyond just their transaction, rather through the entirety of homeownership.

Leveraging Industry-Leading Technology for International Listing Exposure

We were reminded in 2020, how incredible the power of data is. How we share it is just as important. Unlike, any other real estate brokerage, we offer sales data that is the most relevant to you as a terraced property owner. It took over 3 years to create our terrace listing database. This extraordinary effort has created the ability for us to provide you with unparalleled information and empower you during your real estate journey.

That means, we care about you beyond the sale. We are here for you throughout your ownership. By providing you with this data, we hope to empower you as a terrace homeowner.
