Languages: Italian & Spanish *What her customers and clients say:* "I am a recent purchaser of a co-op apartment in the East Village. I want to take this opportunity to tell you what great help I received from Amy Wilder. She made the whole thing work out very well. I first met Amy at one of her open houses, and soon after I asked her to help me find a reasonably priced apartment for my daughter in the East Village or nearby. Having no experience with New York real estate values, I had to be educated as to market conditions, available inventory and pricing expectations for this area. Amy proved to be a great expert on available units as well as providing perspective on what to look for in different buildings, neighborhoods, and particular apartments. She has such a friendly and upbeat attitude that it was hard to remember she was trying to sell me something. Amy made the process fun. She also was very astute with helping to guide me through the process of board approval, handling it all with intelligence, professionalism, and a sense humor. Suffice it to say, I was extremely happy with Amy's service." - John D.  "I have known Amy professionally and socially for decades. My husband and I were thrilled to have her handle the listing of our Lower East Side duplex when we relocated overseas. Amy was an adept guide throughout the entire process, from marketing to showings to vetting great tenants. She is a talented businesswoman and has a way of putting people at ease because she cares. I appreciate her attention to detail, calling us in Paris to be sure we were happy with all, easing communication between us and our tenants. Amy rented our place quickly, more than once, and at prices we were thrilled with. We couldn't have been happier!" - Ingrid S. & Gio I.

"I would recommend Amy to any home buyer. She was honest, knowledgeable and would really listen my buyer’s needs. Her attention to detail was impressive. It was a pleasant experience buying my first home with Amy’s help." ~ Angela Bo "I was so relieved to meet Amy during my apartment search. I had worked with two previous agents who really disappointed. A work colleague introduced Amy to me and she changed my mind about the entire process. Amy has a great attitude, wit, and is a consummate professional. She worked tirelessly to send me new listings that fit my taste, price range, and neighborhood choices. I loved her organized tours and she always followed up to make sure I was satisfied. Crazy great communicator and attention to the "little things" that matter. Amy educated me on the market and was a great negotiator. She worked hard from start to finish to makes things easy for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone, period. And I love my new home." - Denny L.  "We first met Amy a few years ago when she represented the family whose home we were going to rent. From the beginning, Amy had shown how professional and thoughtful she was throughout the rental process. We were so impressed that we had asked her to represent us when we began to look for an apartment the following year. Amy is not an aggressive person in the way that she understands her clients and respects them....which is a rare quality to find. She understood that we were on a deadline and she found us an apartment. She was present throughout the whole process and made it all very easy on us. I am also grateful because I had a 4 month old at the time. Amy is a diligent broker and we look forward to working with her in the near future." - Kara & Giuseppe N. "Amy worked well with us. We first met her when we were looking to purchase an apartment for our son and she found the perfect home for him. We immediately called her when we decided to sell that same home. She kept us informed the entire time she was selling our condo. Since our permanent residence is Illinois, she helped to sell all of our furniture as well. We would definitely recommend her as an agent to anyone who wants a job done well." - Elaine & Kevin B. "Amy helped me find and purchase my new home in Midtown Manhattan. She found a loft that was being offered by the owner and we were among the first to see it. Her adept negotiation with the seller clinched the deal even though there were other offers already on the table. Amy was wonderfully helpful in moving me through the whole process and making sure that all paperwork was submitted promptly and accurately. She was a pleasure to work with from the very first day we started to look at spaces, right up to signing the deal for my new co-op." ~ Richard R.  "Amy actually helped me buy and sell two different apartments about two years apart. She is responsive, hard working, and really listens so that she can help you find the right solution. I'd recommend Amy to anyone and have done so many times." - David J. "Amy recently represented me in finding and negotiating my lease for a 10K a month live/work location in Midtown. Prior to seeing anything in person Amy always gave me a detailed briefing on locations that she felt might fit my needs...so we never wasted time. Everything she showed me in person was a perfect fit. She negotiated fiercely on my behalf and I felt my best interests were her best interested every step of the way. Amy was always quick to respond to my emails and phone calls, always on time for our meetings and showings, and totally professional in every correspondence. I was so proud to have her representing me. A class act in every way. Amy continues to follow up with me to make sure everything is going well with my lease and landlord. I really appreciate her attention to detail and sincere concern long after the closing. I would recommend Amy to anyone who has real estate needs. You could not be in better hands." ~ David Paul T.
