- Agent: Mary Murphy - Someone who listens . Mary was very professional and gave us excellent advice. But best of all was her skill at listening and responding to our needs. We recommend her highly, especially if you are inexperienced in the current real estate market.
Jennifer P.
- Agent: Mary Murphy - I have known Mary for many years and she has provided me with invaluable real estate advice on many occasions. Most recently, I called her for guidance a number of months ago when I was helping my in-laws purchase a property in Brentwood and we weren't feeling confident in the agent we were using. Mary listened to my situation, helped me come to terms with the fact that we should switch agents, and then found me a MUCH better agent who did a great job for us. My in-laws have now moved into their beautiful new place and couldn't be happier. This is just one of many times Mary has given me guidance with real estate issues, even if they are outside of her primary geographic area. Thanks, Mary! I'm so lucky that I have you to guide me in understanding my options and empowering me with connections and resources as needed.
A.J. & Jillian
- Agent: Mary Murphy - Being first-time homebuyers in a difficult market like the Bay Area, we both knew we’d feel in over our heads, and we can honestly say we definitely would not have found our home and gotten our offer accepted without Mary and Robert! We were introduced to them and we instantly felt a connection. We sat down and openly discussed what our intentions and expectations were moving forward. Once we decided to work with them, we started a group chat where we knew any question we needed answered was a quick text message away. They were extremely responsive and listened to our feedback as we started visiting open houses over a few weekends. Once we found a home we really liked, they guided us through the mounds of paperwork that needed to be done, and we had our offer accepted the next day! The weeks leading up to closing became extremely stressful due to the pandemic and the many delays we encountered with our bank, however, the team was always there to explain what was happening and give us a heads-up about what was going to happen next. Though we didn’t get to see them in person since we had our offer accepted, we chatted with one of them on the phone nearly every day leading up to the close of escrow, this kept us upbeat and excited for years ahead with our beautiful new home!
Sonia & Paul
- Agent: Mary Murphy - We recently worked with Mary and Robert to purchase our new home. From the very beginning, their team was extremely proactive, providing us with all materials promptly and being immediately available for any questions or concerns we had. There was never a moment where we were confused or worried that they wouldn't be able to help us, and even if they couldn't answer our questions right away, they took every effort to make sure they found a solution as quickly as possible. Even after the sale was complete, they continued to support us if we needed it, for example helping us set up services. We felt very comfortable and confident through the entire process that we were in good hands, and we would absolutely recommend this team to anyone else looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks again for all your help!
Emily P.
- Agent: Mary Murphy - Mary helped me with the sale of my mother's house. Before the house went up for sale Mary took the time to discuss with me all the potential options for a sale, being mindful of the house's strengths and challenges. During our first meeting, Mary asked me about my priorities and concerns. She took the time to learn what was most important to me. Later, when I felt unsure of how to make a decision, Mary brought me back to the statements I had made regarding what mattered most to me. That gentle nudge helped me to make the decisions that I needed to make. I ended up getting an offer from a buyer that was more than Mary and I had expected. Mary was quick to respond to questions from me and always eager to listen to my thoughts about the house. She also has a remarkable network. She has at hand all the real estate professionals needed for a smooth transaction. She handled every issue that came up during the sale with grace and was a pleasure to work with. I feel fortunate to have had her as my realtor for the house sale.
Jean B
- Agent: Mary Murphy - A Million Stars Are Not Enough! Never having prior experience selling a house, I had no idea what it would entail. As trustee of my parents' trust, I was tasked with selling their beautiful home at their deaths- an emotionally difficult duty to be sure. Before COVID and interest rate hikes, it may have been an entirely different experience, but between 2023 and 2024, it turned out to be a tremendous challenge. My family and I could never have navigated all of the twists and turns of paperwork, inspections, a pre-sale remodel, beautiful staging, and brilliant marketing without Mary Murphy. From the time we signed with Mary as our agent to the closing of the sale, her dedication to us and to finding the right buyer was unwavering. Her level of commitment, expertise, professionalism, diligence, determination, and constant communication were extraordinary; her genuine caring, warmth, and sense of humor informed every aspect of our working relationship. My entire family is indebted to Mary and her team for effecting an excellent sale and making us and the new owners very, very happy. Verified by RateMyAgent.

- Agent: Mary Murphy - Sold above asking! Mary was our listing agent when we decided to sell our home in Los Altos. She is exactly what you want in a realtor: attentive to detail, organized, knowledgeable about the market, well networked, responsive, creative and hard working. We've worked with other agents in the past to buy and sell homes in the bay area, and she went above and beyond what we expected a realtor to do. There was not one detail that she missed in getting our home ready for sale. She not only lined up every contractor for updates on the house, she project managed the entire process and ensured that every phase of work was completed on time and within budget. Having lived there for 25 years, I was amazed by her transformation of our home into an elegant residence that looks like new construction. We received an offer on our home for $400,000 above asking price in a week. To say she is an excellent realtor feels like an understatement; she is a miracle worker. We highly and enthusiastically recommend her!

We were able to go to Tulsa to look for a new house while Carolyn was able to sell our Tomball house, in a week, after we got it on the market. She made the process so easy .
Buyer
- Agent: Carolyn Swan - I think the whole process went very well. Carolyn was a pleasure to work with. She listened to my needs, made relevant recommendations, and showed patience until we found the house that best fit my needs. She was always responsive to my questions. During the negotiations she was very thoughtful in her recommendations which resulted in a deal I am happy with. After the sale she has stayed in touch and has been a big help in finding the various contractors I need to make the house my home.
Buyer & Seller
Andre did an exceptional job throughout the entire process of helping us to sell our house and buy our new house. He gave us great feedback on our house and how to prep it for viewings, helped us to negotiate our target price and provided constant updates during the contract timeline. He took the time to understand the house we were looking for and even though we closed during in early January, the overall experience was well managed and the only stress was us packing up 16 years of stuff. Thanks for all the help Andre!
Buyer
We found Andre through a referral and knew from the first meeting that we would get along. He is easy-going, sincere and honest, which we appreciated greatly as we were looking at properties and he noticed things we did not think to look out for. Communication was easy and efficient throughout the process, including with a small last minute hiccup. We felt he was very forthcoming on things he noted as being issues and this ultimately helped us land in home we feel perfectly suits our needs.
Buyer

Andre is incredibly knowledgable of both the area and the nuances of the home-buying process. We highly recommend Mr. Mazur to anyone seeking an amazing real estate professional.
Buyer & Seller
Andre was a tremendous help during a challenging real estate transaction period for us. Our goal was to simplify our financial position without sacrificing quality of life. Andre went above and beyond to ensure we accomplished our goal. Over a three month period Andre helped us sell both an investment property and our current residence and buy an amazing new home in a great neighborhood. ...plus the support with the mortgage, inspection, closing process and actual move was outstanding!
Elizabeth L.
Andrea was WONDERFUL! So caring, supportive and attentive. It was such a pleasure to work with her. I feel so lucky and very grateful.
Regina M.
Selling our home was an amazing experience! Andrea helped us every step of the way - from locating a terrific stager to recommending a reasonable mover. She also staged our home with beautiful flowers. Working with Andrea was a complete delight and unlike other realtors we have worked within the past, Andrea provides a concierge-level of professionalism and service.
Anita K.
Andrea is a consummate professional. She is honest, personable and an excellent problem solver. I recommend her without reservation.
Rebecca H.
Andrea is AMAZING! She sold our home in less than a month and got over our asking price. Every step of the way she was extremely helpful, available and knowledgeable about the process. Andrea went above and beyond- she always made us feel we were her priority and actually made a stressful experience enjoyable!

Asad J
I first got Atif’s reference through a family friend who had a good experience working with him. I am an international real estate entrepreneur working closely with Mr. Ahmad for the past three years. Atif got me a great deal on an off market luxury property in Los Angeles. He has the knowledge and the foresight of the market. I am currently working with him on acquiring my dream house, along with other projects. Atif is not just an agent, he is my real estate consultant. It’s always a pleasure working with Atif. If you are looking for any kind of real estate services, Atif Ahmad will be an asset.

Susan & Mike
Buying an apartment in NYC can be extremely overwhelming, especially understanding what we could afford according to NYC Coop boards. In our first meeting, Kelly was extremely helpful in explaining what a Coop Board expects, and then reviewed our financials and helped us narrow down our budget and set our expectations. We found our apartment very fast - but bought from a very difficult seller. Kelly empathized with our situation (the seller going back and forth on whether to sell), developed a strong relationship with the seller's broker, and truly counseled us through the whole process of finally getting to contract. The team was phenomenal in supporting us as we put together the board package, tracked down answers to building questions, and in prepping us for the board interview. We've now been in our new home for over 3 months and could not be happier. I cannot imagine getting through this process without Kelly's knowledge!
Emma R.
Kelly made the experience of buying our first New York City apartment as low-stress and enjoyable as one could imagine. She expertly balances professionalism and complete competence with warmth and good humor, and sincere attunement to my needs and tastes. I feel so grateful to have gotten to work with her and to have her in my corner for the future!
Sonya C.
It was a pleasure working with Kelly and her team. Their seamless teamwork and efficiency made the whole process worry free. As a first time home buyer, I was able to sleep soundly at night knowing I had a strong and knowledgeable team working with me.
Joanna A.
I absolutely loved working with Kelly! I was so well taken care of during the process and she always available to take my calls and give me advice. I always felt like the biggest priority for her was that I found a place I was happy with, and that she wouldn’t stop until I did! The process of buying is quite daunting but Kelly knows the market so well and was just unfailingly supportive, attentive and reassuring.
Jack & Swara
Prior to meeting Kelly, we had no idea we could purchase our dream home in Brooklyn. As first-time home buyers, we knew very little about the real estate market; she taught us everything we needed to know with kindness and patience. She was helpful in referring us to brokers and lawyers, who helped us efficiently close the deal. Thanks to her, we found our dream home.
Alex & James
I've worked with Kelly for 6 years and have always known her to be a dependable, trustworthy and overall just good person! We would not have been able to lock down our top choice apartment if it weren't for her. I've always had peace of mind when Kelly is in charge. It's been a crazy experience buying amidst a pandemic, but she were great at setting expectations, and also extremely determined with making sure we got what we wanted. I'll be working with her for as long as I live in New York.
Stephane S.
Kelly and Brittany have been an absolute joy to work with. They have been true allies, and the only people in the entire homebuying process whom I felt I could fully trust. The world of real estate was new and scary to me, given how many different parties are involved (agents, attorneys, banks, inspectors, etc.), all of whom seem to have an obvious financial incentive to make buyers pay more. Yet, despite this potential conflict of interest, I felt a real connection with Kelly from our very first conversation. She mentioned how much she values building long-lasting relationships with her customers, and all her actions proved how genuine she is about that mindset. Among the many things that I'm grateful for: She never pressured me into making any rash decision (and whenever I did need to make decisions, she always double-or-triple-checked that I was truly happy with the outcome); she never took advantage of my ignorance (e.g. she always took the time to explain things to me, as transparently as possible); she was always very honest when sharing her thoughts, good or bad (e.g. she would not hesitate to point out concerns or issues about a place, in a way that protected my interests). Besides Kelly, I was also lucky to receive help from Brittany for all the scheduling and paperwork. Brittany has been incredibly responsive and understanding every step of the way (e.g. by replying promptly to every question I sent, by always making sure to accommodate my rigid schedule for visits, by sharing important timelines with me well in advance). She was also very organized, which made keeping track of all the paperwork much easier than I initially feared. All in all, I would strongly recommend Kelly and her team to anyone who needs help with real estate in NYC.
Carmen R.
You really can't have a better team by your side than Kelly, Dor, and Brittany. I had a nightmare of a deal trying to buy a co-op in New York, with some key players out of the country, missing paperwork, delays, the whole 9-yards - there were times I even thought, genuinely, it wasn't going to work out. But Kelly, Dor, and Brittany were my greatest cheerleaders and support. If it wasn't for Kelly and Dor's creativity, guidance, and diligence, I wouldn't have made it. The dedication they bring is unparalleled, they never say "die." Kelly's enthusiasm for her job is infectious, coupled with Dor's compassion, and Brittany's impeccable attention to detail, they really make a dream team. From putting me in touch with a excellent selection of professionals - insurance brokers, mortgage opportunities, loan officers, contractors - to answering all my calls, texts and emails in the most kind and timely manner, and riding out what seemed to be a saga that would never end (it took 6 months) they went above and beyond for me. I am eternally grateful to be a homeowner, and it's greatly thanks to this team. I cannot recommend them enough for your home buying/selling journey.
Giovanna M.
We fell in love with Kelly the moment we met her at an open house and knew that she would be the best person to help us sell our condo. From start to finish, Kelly made the process easy and she communicated seamlessly. We accepted an offer in just a few weeks and it was all due to Kelly’s expertise. If you’re looking for an agent who is kind, knowledgeable, and driven, my wife and I could not recommend Kelly and her team more!
Cathy Q.
Kelly and Team were fantastic. They managed to get my property sold in a difficult market after having it listed with another broker for several months. The level of professionalism was excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell in New York City!
Mike C
Kelly and her team were true professionals and enthusiastically took on the task of representing me and selling my apartment, working hard to bring in buyers and the best price. I'd highly recommend her team, especially for any housing needs in the Bushwick neighborhood and Brooklyn in general.
Frank B.
Kelly and team are top notch. My property went into market after only 24 days on the market! Her professionalism and prompt follow through is much appreciated and applauded. Her approach is steeped in both market research and spot-on people skills.
Zandrews Family
Kelly and her whole team are simply the best. Wish we could give her 10 stars. Over the past decade she’s helped us buy, sell and rent four homes—each time exceeding our expectations. She’s become a treasured friend and advisor and we can’t recommend her highly enough.
Amy L.
I would just like to say that they made a huge, complicated, and opaque process much easier for me. I don't know that I would have managed to buy an apartment without them--at least it would have taken so much more time and effort that I'm not sure I would have been able to keep it up with everything else going on. As is, I'm so glad I was able to get myself settled in this corner of my life. More than that, I feel that Kelly operates like a combination of a good friend and an immaculate professional: she's diligent and thorough and knows her stuff, but she also cares about your well being, and this is just what you need in a broker. I think we need more people like Kelly in the world, so I definitely recommend her, not only because I feel confident that they will do a good job but also because I think this kind of long term relationship business model deserves promotion.
Jess & Lewis
As first-time homebuyers, it’s easy to be overwhelmed and intimidated when navigating the NYC housing market. From our very first meeting, Kelly put our minds at rest and guided us through the entire process, maintaining a close, personal relationship from start to finish. Kelly and her team were always on hand at any time of the day to help with whatever questions we had - big or small - and helped us figure out complex issues with patience and ease. Our process with purchasing a co-op could not have gone smoother, handling our entire board package process and advising on every aspect of the application. Within a few months of searching, we had found our perfect apartment and secured a deal. Without hesitation will be coming back when we decide on the next move.
Stephanie A
We used Dave to purchase our first home, and would not have gotten through the process without his help. Dave was incredibly friendly and professional from the jump. We were impressed by his responsiveness, knowledge, patience, recommendations, and expertise as we navigated the Denver housing market. We felt like we could wholly rely on Dave with all of our questions, and there were MANY as we analyzed various different home buying scenarios. After placing an offer, we appreciated Dave’s attention to detail, diligence, and transparency to help us make it to close. Dave started as our realtor, but is most certainly a friend at the end of this process! Thank you Dave!!
Anna Leder
Anna is an excellent real estate professional and an even more amazing person who listens and understands her client's needs. She is brilliant at scouting the market for properties that suit her client's needs. I personally think that she has a very rare ability to think like the client while scouting the market which brings her great success. Her knowledge of the local area and the wider real estate market is on point and she gives the best advice. I am so glad that we chose to work with Anna. She helped us buy our first home in NY and we love the house she helped us buy. It has everything that we wanted, with room to grow! I could not recommend her enough and I do look forward to working with her in the future!
