John Slattery works hard, is knowledgable about real estae and the market and is a pleasure to work with. I was very indecisive to sell our family home of 26 years and change course in our lives post retirement and move from the suburbs to NYC. Our grandchildren and children live in the area of Fort George. John worked with my wife and I through the ups and downs of making a life changing decision. He put up with our delays and last minute calls to schedule showings of apartments without a complaint. He was there for us every step of the way and was a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of coop ownership and buying process. He held our hands through the process and we are very grateful for his knowledge, professionalism and just being himself. He is warm, sincere and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services.

With nearly impossible timeline, John was an absolute star at selecting properties that exactly matched my requirements. Being new to the city, I was not aware of many admin caveats, that he patiently explained to me and offered all possible alternatives. Cannot stress enough how diligent he was in the finalising the contract and would always reach out to me to kindly remind me of additional requirements I needed to comply with as a completely new addition not only to the city, but to the country in general. I do not think I would have been able to secure my flat in the limited time with the limited knowledge I had, and it is all down to John's fantastic work that I have a place, where I can type this testimonial now :)

John is a superb, thorough and generous agent. He did a fantastic job from start to finish in helping navigate my recent apartment purchase. John is productively relentless in exploring options and possibilities. He takes great care to understand what you want and in identifying how to help. He is exceptionally responsive, he offers great advice, and he goes out of his way to find people, resources and solutions to almost every conceivable problem. John is a wonderful ally, partner and advisor for anyone seeking to buy a new home.

We worked with John as first-time buyers and were extremely impressed by his expertise and attention to our needs. As a buyers' agent, he showed us fantastically beautiful apartments that accommodated our family accessibility needs, gave us a needed education on mortgage economics, and became a trusted advisor. Once we were in the closing process, he connected us with every professional we needed—lawyers, bankers, etc.—making what could have been an arduous process seamless and easy. He even helped us visualize more mundane details, such as whether we could, say, fit a giant sectional in a particular space. (Don't sleep on John's exquisite taste!) He was direct, practical, advocated for us fiercely, and was also a really fun and great person. A truly wonderful experience, we highly recommend working with John.

John is extremely competent, conscientious and knowledgeable. He is completely professional, reliable and responsive. He provided thoughtful and carefully considered opinions regarding neighborhoods and buildings. His referrals for an attorney, a building inspector and an insurance broker were all spot on. He followed through with unresolved issues after closing. I would recommend him highly and without reservation as an outstanding realtor.

John was an invaluable part of our search for a co-op. He quickly helped us hone in on a reasonable budget, worked to understand our aesthetic, and promptly setup showings. Once we were in contract, he helped us navigate the typical purchase process along with a series of challenges including a bank failure and a delayed closing. His associate, Laura, was our point of contact for the board application and made that process clear and efficient. Thanks to John, we are now settling into a space that we love.

John was a fantastic partner through the arduous process of buying an apartment in New York City. What we thought was going to be a simple purchase of a coop turned into a months-long journey with many twists and turns along the way, everything from difficult board presidents to a bank failure - but John stuck with us all the way through, and we ended up in a better apartment than we thought possible. John's expertise and energy was invaluable and we couldn't be more grateful for his help.

We had a great experience working with John. We were looking for an investment property for my young, adult daughter to live in Brooklyn after her graduation from Syracuse University. John was very helpful and started sending info on properties right away. We used his recommendations for both a lawyer and lender that both worked out wonderfully. We wanted to find something quickly and also wanted a quick close so daughter could go straight from graduation to new home. We also wanted a lot of other things that we didn't want to concede on even though our price range didn't necessarily lend to getting those things in new york. but as luck (or john's skill) would have it, we didn't have to concede on any of our major wants at all. we found a great spot for her and feel great about our purchase.

John did a phenomenal job helping me purchase a condo in Brooklyn. He is very knowledgeable about the NYC market, persistent, responsive, and pleasant to spend weekends touring homes with. He made the whole experience as painless as could be!

John did an outstanding job of finding our co-op apartment. I was able to give him an idea of an apartment that I wanted and he was able to quickly put together a list of apartments that he thought I would like. He was then able to get showings for all these apartments within the same day that I reached out to him! From the moment I spoke to him to my closing date he always available for any questions I had (at any time of the day/night). He made me feel very comfortable with my first home purchase and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is wishing to find their forever home as well.

John understood our needs well, and helped us find a dream home within our range. When visiting potential homes with us, he asked important and helpful questions, and helped us better understand what sorts of questions we should ask to vet a property properly. We found John to be extremely communicative throughout the whole process as well.

John helped my family find a home in the Bronx. He was always responsive. He helped us understand the unique aspects of the NYC market. He helped us think through options that made the most sense for the family. He helped us get a great deal through his negotiating skills.

As a first time home buyer, and new to the challenging market that is NYC, I could not have asked for a better broker to work with. As I was extremely limited on time with work commitments John made the process seamless. He quickly tailored an exact search to cater to my specific needs. He was able to determine, just from meeting me once, what would be most pleasing to my aesthetic sensibilities. He does not take a ”one size fits all approach”. Within four viewings he found me my new home and I am thrilled with this gem! Not only dis he find the perfect location to suit my work/life balance, he was able to negotiate a price that suited my budget. He is very knowledgeable of the market and its tendencies. He explained in specific detail, the process of home ownership and answered any concerns that I had with patience and professionalism. There were no surprises or hiccups, with my demanding work schedule, this was essential. Every aspect of this process went incredibly smoothly, many thanks to Laura, his associate, and Client Services Manager, who guided me through the board application process. She was there at all times and made certain that all documentation was letter perfec...

John assisted me with my very first apt purchase in NYC. He is knowledgeable responsive and patient. I highly recommend him and thankful for all he has done! He scheduled at least 10 viewings for me before I find apt I liked. He assisted in every stage from offer to signing, guiding and explaining what to expect. He also put me in touch with great attorney. I couldn’t express how grateful I am for all the assistance he provided

John was a great help and an incredibly strong advocate for us. We appreciated how he kept us informed throughout the buying process and explained in detail what we should expect throughout the buying process. This was especially helpful for us as novices in buying an apartment in NYC which has its own unique characteristics. An all around good guy.

Professional and Helpful! Checked in often and actively looked out for our best interest. Helped us find a wonderful apartment we were very happy with.

John is honest, and is never misleading. He had an instinctive ability to sense the neighborhood we wanted to be in, the Upper Westside. He knows the neighborhoods of Manhattan very well, and is eager to please. Ultimately, we purchased a lovely apartment on Central Park West.

John was very helpful throughout the process and clearly was very familiar with the local area as well as setting expectations for a first time home buyer. He was incredibly responsive to questions and helping with any issues that arose. Overall the process was quite smooth and I am thrilled in my new home.

John is your go-to real estate person if you are ready to purchase, and also new to the real estate market. He was very knowledgeable about the co-op purchasing process, and was very hands-on. John consistently checks up with you and assures that the pieces are moving how they should be moving. He's a hard negotiator and helps with indecision. It is easy to not see the big picture when the co-op process is so long, but John assured that deadlines were on track.

John was extremely helpful in navigating the byzantine systems of buying into a Manhattan co-op. He always responded in a timely manner -- usually within minutes -- and his expertise in not only the neighborhood but the legal side of this transaction made the experience as a whole as pleasurable as possible.

John is AMAZING! I spent several months struggling to find my dream apartment in NYC. (I was doing my search virtually, from the West Coast, due to COVID travel restrictions.) The experience was slow and tedious until I met John. After a 10-minute introductory phone conversation, John sent me more than listings that matched my very specific requirements: location, floor, apartment, and in-unit appliances. Within four days, we had seen all the listings I was interested in and were in negotiations for the apartment I eventually bought. Many more hurdles followed, and John stuck with me through thick and thin; he advocated on my behalf and ensured all the involved parties were doing their part to get me into my home. John went above and beyond to help me find my home; he is my Realtor and now a friend whom I trust like family. If you have a chance to work with John, GO FOR IT!... he will not steer you wrong.

Had great experience with John. He was always available and helpful. He understood what we were looking for & found the right places for us to see. No wonder we found the perfect place for us very quickly with his help. I would definitely work with him again!

John helped me find my first home. He is a knowledgeable realtor, and was very responsive to all my questions. He worked energetically on my behalf. I would recommend him to anyone looking to find an NYC property, especially if you need to find something fast, John is on it.

This experience was long and difficult with a lot of hiccups, but John was my consistent rock every step of the way. He was incredible attentive, knowledgable, and passionate through the whole process. I would not have a place if it wasn't for John.
