Having followed the market for years, we were thinking about if we could forgo a broker/agent, but with jobs and our recently-expanded family, that seemed much harder. That was our first great decision, the second was choosing Armen and Armen, who complement one another and together made our experience seamless. We interviewed several brokers and agents before signing with Armen and Armen. But another realtor we met with said something about working with he people we trusted and clicked with. They were the first to respond to our initial inquiries, and came in with booming confidence and a nuanced approach. They saw a our apartment’s strengths. They accommodated our schedules (both daily and for the desired timeline to sale). They handled all interactions with the seller and board. They respected our home and our children were eager to see them. We had worried they were overconfident, but went with the sense of trust and comfort. Within a week of signing with them and days before our apartment officially went on the market, they had two offers, including one above asking and exactly where we thought the apartment should have sold. The most amazing part was that we’d only left our apartment for about two hours to do it. The buyer had superior qualifications, and was widely praised by our coop board for his credentials and personality, and we’ve had series of friendly exchanges with the buyer as we packed up, moved, and accidentally sent packages to our old apartment. “The Armens” did all this for us, and helped us to move to the next stage in our lives with the confidence and ease they brought to our sale. We couldn’t have done this alone.
