I live out of state and my sister works full time which made it difficult to be in the city. Having all these additional services helped make this sale so much easier and stress-free for the two of us. It was great working with the Rothmans and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property. and - Nancy O., Tennessee, Kathy T., Long Island, NY and Nina and Allen were extremely professional and went above and beyond what I would have expected in many instances, while working on the sale of my late uncle's Manhattan apartment. Nina even cleaned a bath tub herself which had been used as a storage area! They were instrumental in maintaining buyer interest during very difficult board negotiations, especially when the buyer's attorney suggested that the buyer walk away from the deal. We would not have been able to sell the apartment without their determination and persistence. and - Neil and Betty H., Plainview, NY and Selling real estate is a complicated business, as I found out when it fell to me as executor of my aunt's estate, to sell her apartment in New York City. My first bit of luck came in a letter from Nina and Allen Rothman. It was their energy, optimism and availability whenever I needed to talk about problems, real or imagined, that convinced me that I made the right decision in choosing the Rothmans to broker the sale of my aunt's apartment. and - Roger C., M.D., Madison, CT and My decision to engage Nina and Allen Rothman to sell my client's estate apartment was the best decision I could have made. They took care of everything, from cleaning and repairs to staging to removing items in the apartment before closing. They did everything they said they would do and more. I look forward to using them again to sell any future estate properties; they are consummate professionals. and - Dana H., Esq., Patterson Belknap Webb and Tyler, LLC NYC, NY and I cannot rave enough about Nina and Allen Rothman. Their diligence and persistence in the entire process made the sale of our apartment completely seamless. They have a creative approach and an exceptional attention to detail. They are extremely knowledgeable and handled every one of our questions as if it was their top priority. They are truly one of a kind! and - Evelyn and Neil S., NYC, NY and Nina Horowitz-Rothman and Allen Rothman are superb. They provided excellent guidance on the pricing and sales strategy of my mother-in-law's Manhattan apartment and were creative and proactive in addressing issues. They never wasted our time with unlikely prospects; found great buyers for our apartment at the price we were seeking, and saw to it that everything went smoothly right through to the closing, which went flawlessly. We could not have had a better experience from start to finish. and - Bruce B., Westchester CountyIf you would like to speak with any of these clients, please contact us and we can supply their contact information.
