What My Clients Say

“Ellen helped me sell a New York City apartment extremely quickly and efficiently, deftly smoothing out wrinkles and negotiating swiftly and efficiently. I cannot recommend Ellen highly enough. She is the ultimate real estate sales professional.”

Deborah Spanierman

“Ellen Sykes is not only an excellent real estate agent, she is also a trooper. She handled a series of extremely difficult circumstances surrounding the sale of my father's Upper Eastside condo with alacrity, aplomb and enough of a sense of humor to make the unexpected bumps in the road seem surmountable: severe water damage from an accident in the apartment next door just a couple of weeks before closing; the subsequent discovery and eventual abatement of asbestos in the damaged flooring that killed the first deal; and eventually the sale of the condo in "as is" condition to a second buyer who -- understandably -- was very cautious, to put it mildly. In the end we got a very good price despite all the hurdles, and Ellen was here, there and everywhere throughout the transaction because I live outside of Washington couldn't be on site to deal with contractors, insurance agents, building management and lawyers. She's energetic, effective and solicitous of her clients, and I recommend her very highly with no reservations whatsoever.”

Nicholas F. Peters

“Ellen, I think you should seriously consider going into this business. You're Good!”

D.R.

“Thanks very much for the professional way you handled this whole difficult transaction. All the way through, including the closing, it was as efficient and pleasant as possible. ”

J.F.

“Thank you so much for all of your assistance on what must have been one of your more difficult deals. Suzie and I really appreciate everything you've done.”

Henry An

“Congratulations, I heard from S.F. that you sold his apartment. He told me that the market had become quite tough and despite the time it took to find a buyer, he was very pleased with your service. I presume he told you that, but I thought I'd pass it along. ”

D.M.

“I just wanted to thank you again for all your help. You are truly amazing. I gave my friend A.W. your information, so she should be contacting you soon. I imagine she and her sister will be looking within the same areas and price range as I did. Thanks again, keep in touch! ”

C.C.

“Thanks so much, Ellen, for helping the family. I am always bragging about how well you took care of us. ”
