Client testimonials:

“Ari represented us on both the sell and buy side and we couldn't recommend him more highly. He was always ready with exhaustive information and sound analysis when we asked for it and yet gave us plenty of space to make our own decisions. Ari is a very smart, sober negotiator and helped us navigate all the tricky timing issues of buy, sell and renovation-to-move-in dates smoothly. Ultimately, he made what can be a very harrowing process pain free, and we daresay — even fun.” - Betty T. & Matt G., buyers and sellers

"There's nothing more important than partnering with a first-in-class real estate professional and organization to sell an apartment in this challenging environment. From the moment I met Ari, I knew he was going to be the perfect person to help me market my apartment to success. Ari has a keen understanding of the Williamsburg market and brought thoughtful insight to pricing and marketing strategies that paid off resulting in not just one, but several offers in less than one month's time. I highly recommend Ari to bring added value to any real estate listing in the New York City area.” - D.S., seller

“After being traded to the New York Rangers, my life was a bit of a blur. Warner & Ari came in and took care of everything. I would recommend them highly to anyone who wants to be looked after with the utmost care and professionalism.” - Chris H., former New York Rangers player

“We were introduced to Ari by our trusted financial adviser and hit it off immediately. Despite his considerable experience, Ari seems to bring fresh energy to each project. Ari helped us orchestrate both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing one, all within our time frame and expectations. Most importantly, whenever we'd start to feel overwhelmed, we could count on Ari to come to the rescue (and let us get on with our lives!).” - Scott D. & Liz H., buyers and sellers

“Ari and Warner act as a true team with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. They are aware and ahead of the market and honest and supportive through the process. On the sale, they were able to leverage their resources to get the maximum amount of visibility for our listing. Even in a challenging environment, we had a signed contract in less than a week at a price that we were happy with. On the purchase, they gave us objective guidance and were sensitive to our timing and needs. We relied on their experience and real estate knowledge to find our new home and simultaneously close two deals in a short timeframe. The process was easy thanks to their efforts and we couldn't be happier with the results.” - Danielle & Steven C., buyers and sellers
