Her combination of market knowledge and genuine kindness was perfect. We ended up selling for 10% than asking! We couldn't have asked for a better advocate and are so thankful for having chosen Cordelia." - Seller, Brooklyn Heights "Cordelia was invaluable to me when selling my apartment and I am so glad I picked her as my broker. She priced it just right and still sold quickly well above the ask. Cordelia made great suggestions for decluttering and staging my place. She is reliable, trustworthy and I recommend her!" Seller, Brooklyn Heights “We felt so fortunate to have worked with Cordelia. She was so patient with us in finding the right apartment. As soon as a place opened up that met all the criteria we were looking for, she reached out to us right away and showed us the space that very evening. She was quick with communication and insightful in guiding us through the lease process. She was reliable, completely trustworthy and always kept our best interest in mind...we couldn't have asked for a better agent.” - Tenant, Brooklyn Heights “We have worked exclusively with Cordelia Stephens in Brooklyn for the past 7 years and it has been an excellent experience in every way.
