Testimonials
I loved working with Pia. She helped us find a coop apartment in a month. She completely understood what we were looking for. My husband was very hesitant about buying into a coop. Pia’s guidance helps us find common ground, and we settled within 3 months. I highly recommend her. - Antje W.
Pia was the greatest real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Pia was extremely knowledgeable of the industry and area I was looking at and was incredibly helpful throughout the process! She was always very responsive over the many weeks I worked with her and she had great negotiation skills. She was always a pleasure to be around and clearly cares about her clients! I strongly recommend Pia as she made the process easy and even enjoyable! :) - Kelsey E.
I couldn’t be any happier with my new apartment. I was trying to rent a place for over 6 months. Being a medical device specialist for Fortune 100 company I make well over minimum amount needed to secure lease, but it’s all on commission only. Some of the brokers I reached out to didn’t even respond after hearing this. That did not stop Pia!!!! Within one week, she had me in an amazing apartment, corner unit on W 50th street, one block away from Theater District, Hell’s Kitchen and Time Square. I have and will continue to recommend Pia to all friends and anyone looking for apartment to rent or looking to buy their own place! THANK YOU PIA!!! - Filip R.
Pia was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was thoughtful, professional and communicative. She went above and beyond to discover all the details (both positive and negative) of the properties she showed us. She is invested in her work and has a wealth of knowledge about the real-estate market in New York. I would highly recommend her to any friends seeking to buy or sell. - Ross W.
We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Pia is not only knowledgeable in the real estate field but she is also very approachable, responsible and energetic. Pia worked with us patiently until we found the right place and walked us through the purchase process in detail. We would highly recommend her to any buyer/seller and we would definitely work again with Pia in future! - Radina D.
