Client Testimonials:

“We used Neil to sell our apartment and help us acquire a new one, both of which he did quickly and professionally. He advised us on how to show our apartment to its best advantage when we sold and helped us painlessly navigate through the co-op board package when we purchased. We now consider Neil not only our broker of choice, but he has also become a good friend."- Betsy G. & Alan B.

“As first time NYC homebuyer, I expected the process to be stressful, long and complicated, but with Neil’s guidance my experience was none of those things. From start to finish, the process was painless. He took the time to answer my many questions with detailed explanations in terms that I could easily understand. As a buyer's broker, Neil was my advocate from the search all the way through to the closing. He gave me useful advice   and helped me make the right decisions. I couldn't be happier owning my first home in Manhattan and I have Neil to thank for making the experience worry-free and     enjoyable."- Rene E.

“Neil Gallo has performed real estate brokerage services for my partner and me along with our friends over the past six years. His professionalism and expertise guided us successfully through a sale and later a purchase, as described below. He also represented a close friend who purchased a condo unit on behalf of his parents, who live in China. Regarding our transactions, Neil represented the sale of our cooperative apartment in the spring/summer of 2009. Thanks to his marketing skills and quick mobilization soon after listing, his first open house presented us with a qualified buyer. He successfully negotiated the sale and allowed us to sell within our targeted price range. He guided us through the closing process and even assisted me on moving day. Neil’s level of service went so far as to help me carry my luggage to a nearby hotel as we could not find a taxi and it was about to rain! In 2010, while living in Hong Kong, Neil assisted us with purchasing a two bedroom, two bath condo with a 1500 sq.ft. terrace prior to our return to New York in 2011. Although the unit had yet to be renovated, Neil was able to provide us with adequate information, including photos and a video of both our space and of a finished unit, which gave us the confidence to purchase sight unseen. Soon after, selling prices skyrocketed, so once again, he assisted us with the right timing and an advantageous financial deal. We have recommended him highly to our friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.”- Marc C.
