Testimonials

I've heard such horror stories about navigating the New York market, and I'm happy to say that Ellen ensured that our search was a smooth one. We initially liked the first apartment she showed us but changed our minds the next day. After explaining to Ellen what we wanted, she promptly got back to us with options that fit our requirements. Never did she push a place we weren't comfortable with, which happens at times with other agents. When we came across buildings she wasn't responsible for, she quickly found a connection and got us a showing. I've worked with quite a few agents in the past and Ellen is, without a doubt, the best I've come across. Professionalism: A+ Communication: A+ Easy to work with: A+.

Ellen was a strategic, compassionate, and significant ally in my search for a new home after I got the devastating news that I had to vacate my beautiful artist’s loft after 25 years in Midtown. I was crushed and overwhelmed by the daunting task of finding a suitable and affordable new home to rent in Manhattan. Fortunately, I had Ellen’s calm and diligent guidance to show me what was possible. More than just a tour of spaces, she gave me hope. I was not an easy client, because I was in such despair. But her thorough, patient, good-hearted, and knowledgeable help saved me. Ellen is The Top Real Estate Agent to call upon to navigate the challenging and complex New York City market.

Ellen is the broker everyone needs when they’re looking for a new home…smart, savvy, and the ultimate advocate. I had not moved in 21 years, so I truly valued Ellen’s financial thinking and neighborhood guidance. Her design eye – as impressive as her business smarts – enabled me to see how a studio apartment would work since I had to downscale from a one bedroom. In fact, without Ellen, I would’ve passed over the apartment that I absolutely love now! Ellen was tireless in handling every question with the management company and made the entire process seamless. If you want both a broker and an advocate to find a new home, work with Ellen!

Ellen is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, and hardworking. She delivered a condo board package to the managing agent during a blizzard! Ellen is patient and extremely responsive. She took time to understand my needs and was able to find me an amazing apartment meeting all of my requirements and then some. Additionally, Ellen is a wonderful person and that shines through in everything she does. I cannot thank her enough for helping me find a new home.

Ellen Silverman, a knowledgeable and experienced broker, helped me find a lovely apartment at a good price on the Upper West Side. She was unfailingly patient, supportive, and responsive. I especially appreciated that she was never pushy with me but did prove to be a great advocate on my behalf in discussions with management to secure the apartment.
