We live out of state and due to pandemic, was not able to come to NY and see the potential condos. Ella went out of her way to preview all the condos and face-timed us so we were able to narrow down our choices. She was very reliable and responsive through the entire process. Due to the distance, there were lot of things we could not take care of by ourselves - eg. copying extra keys, arranging repairs (and being there for the repairs), she took care of all. We are now happy owners of a 3.5M condo that we have not personally seen yet, lol. Ella is great

Ella was the sales agent who showed and helped me with the purchase of a unit at the Platinum building in Times Square. I was deeply impressed by her knowledge of the market and of the building itself, construction material and layout / setting for each unit. Knowing that Ella has been involved in luxury residences for over 10+ years with a focus in Manhattan, I hired Ella to sell the same condo and she did a great job during the height of the pandemic. She was able to find a buyer quickly at asking price and quick closing. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Ella again and would recommend her as an agent to anyone interested in buying or selling their home."

Ella represented me in connection with my purchase of a condominium in Manhattan. Ella did a wonderful job, from beginning to end. Ella is smart, diligent, hard-working, conscientious, responsive, a strong negotiator, and a closer. She is also a subject matter expert; she knows the New York City real estate market extremely well. On a personal level, Ella is a pleasure to work with, and her can-do attitude and wonderful personality make every encounter a pleasure. Thinking about buying or selling in NYC? Be sure to speak with Ella.
