Helped me sell a home

I’m so glad we used Armen & Armen to sell my Jackson Heights co-op. They put the place on the market and presented it to buyers, and found an excellent buyer within a couple of weeks. They handled every aspect of the process quickly and professionally: they worked with my co-op board, they worked with the bank, they worked with the buyer. They asked little or nothing from me: no renovations, no new paint job, no “staging”. They took everything as it was, and took care of it. And whenever I had a question or concern, they were on the phone in minutes. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

10/19/2017 – Helped me sell a home

 

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.


 

I.M. – 10/07/2017 – Helped me buy a home

I had the pleasure of working with Armen and Armen on the recent purchase of my co-op in Jackson Heights. After having loss out on 3 bids for apartments in Jackson Heights over the course of a few months, I almost gave up hope on finding something that I would like. That was when I received a notification from Armen and Armen that they were showing an apartment in Jackson Heights that was a couple or more blocks from my ideal location. Because the apartment was only open to direct buyers, I didn’t have to go through another round of bidding war, and I was lucky to have my offer accepted.

While Armen and Armen represented the seller, they were always ready to provide me with the guidance and help that I needed to navigate the landscape of purchasing a co-op. They provided me with contacts for loan officers that I may want to consider and clear instructions on the documents that I needed to submit, forms that I needed to fill out, etc. They were always patient with me and very responsive in answering my many questions. From the time I placed the bid to the time I closed, it took only 3 months, and this was in the middle of the summer when people are usually away for vacation. They made this entire process as smooth, transparent, and easy as can be. I would most assuredly recommend them to anyone who is interested in purchasing or selling a real estate. Again, thank you to Armen and Armen for their support throughout this process.

Armen & Armen were a DREAM to work with. My apartment sold the day before it was officially “on the market” for 10K above asking. I was not living in the state at the time of sale and they worked with me remotely to sell and close on my apartment. I did not have a single moment of stress working with them. I would recommend them to anyone! THANK YOU Armen & Armen!!

Absolutely 100% recommend Armen and Armen! I bought a coop apartment in Jackson Heights and they were so helpful. They were with me every step of the way. I appreciated their knowledge of the neighborhood and are beloved by the neighborhood as well so I met lots of lovely people through them. They were efficient and organized putting everything together. Above and beyond realtors from beginning to end.

We had an excellent experience with Armen and Armen selling a studio at the Monroe building. They were, professional and thoughtful. The selling was quick for the price we were happy to get. It was a pleasure to work with both of you! Thank you.


 

Skalemki  06/20/2016 Helped me buy a home

Armen and Armen helped my daughter and I purchase a co-op in Jackson Heights. My daughter found the co-op on an internet listing — and as soon as she saw the studio, and met the team, she knew that this was the place. Each of them provided her with vital assistance to get through the process as a first time buyer, particularly with putting together a package that would get her offer accepted by the Board. From start to finish they were patient, professional, and prompt! I highly recommend them.


 

Senyorfun  03/07/2016 Helped me sell a home
Armen & Armen are outstanding. They were very prepared at every turn, from our very first meeting to the closing. They sold my co-op in Jackson Heights quickly and a price I was happy to get, making sure to get buyers who could pass the co-op board review process. They are pleasant, efficient, and professional… highly recommended!


 

Jessemills  08/29/2015   Helped me sell and buy a home

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Armen and Armen are! They helped my wife and I sell our home in Jackson Heights; they found a seller in just one week. We were amazed at how they were able to facilitate that process for us. We didn’t even need to stage the apartment, and they brought us a great buyer, who passed our coop board with flying colors. Next we called upon them to help us with our next purchase. They were attentive to our needs, prompt, and extremely understanding. They are never pushy or aggressive, but they are very professional and thoughtful. We owe them so much for all that they have done for us through this intense process of both selling and buying. They have great contacts also, and helped put us in touch with an equally wonderful team, to help us with with our financing. We highly recommend them — you will not be disappointed! 
 

 

CH  – 08/24/2015  Helped me sell a home

I searched far and wide on the web for the best agents to sell my Jackson Heights apartment and found them in the dynamic duo that is Armen & Armen. Their professional and high end photos+listings drew me in initially and was far beyond what their competitors were offering. What ultimately solidified my decision was our in person consultation. While other realtors walked in and pointed out the drawbacks and shortcomings of my property, Armen & Armen came in and immediately saw its beauty and potential. They’re an incredibly effective combo of artistry and class coupled with market know-how and experience. A&A are also not afraid to get their hands dirty, spending a weekend to clean up and ready my apartment for showings. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my apartment so spotless and neat… Do you know any realtors that would do that?!

Due to their hard work and excellent network, A&A found me a buyer the first week of showings—before the listing was even posted. When those buyers fell through, they delivered right away by finding me another buyer that same week. All these things might sound too good to be true but I swear they are the real deal. I was incredibly weary of realtors before the sale and now, I cannot stop singing their praises. Besides being top notch realtors, A&A are also actively involved in the community and the arts. They’ll show you where the best spots are in the neighborhood and invite you to Armen K’s art shows. Armen & Armen are the BEST realtors you can hire and are guaranteed to deliver every step of the way. I cannot recommend them enough!

Armen & Armen sold our apartment quickly and seamlessly. If we had known how easy it would be, we would have sold ages ago! Not only are they absolutely professional and courteous, they’re also really nice guys. We would sell with them again in a heartbeat.


 

John Herrera       10/26/2014         Helped me buy a home

Hi Armen & Armen,
I wanted to thank you for all your assistance in the purchase of our new apartment in Jackson Heights. Your diligence and knowledge was a huge help in navigating the complexities involved in this purchase. Both of you were very accessible, positive, and knowledgeable throughout the process. We will be sure to give your name to any of our friends and family who may be in the market to either sell or purchase a coop.

Thanks again,
Maria and John

Armen M. & Armen K. helped me sell my co-op. I selected them after seeing other reviews about them, and they did not disappoint. From the beginning to the end, they were prompt, professional, knowledgeable and immensely helpful. They brought in more offers than I could have hoped for thanks to their excellent marketing and photography. If you have the chance to work with them, definitely take it!

Armen Meschian and Armen Kojoyian came very highly recommended to us via several neighbors in the Jackson Heights Historic District. We feel very fortunate to have chosen to work with them. They have all the qualities and skills that make for stellar realtors: keen instincts, extremely well-organized, tech-savvy, supremely knowledgable about the market, 100% dependable and honorable. They handled the sale of our 2-bedroom apartment expertly and sold the apartment within 24 hours of the first open-house. We wholeheartedly recommend them and hope to have an opportunity to collaborate again in the future.

Greg   Helped me sell a home

Armen and Armen were fantastic to work with. I am on the Board of our Coop, which bought, renovated and resold an apartment on behalf of our shareholders. “The Armens” had excellent knowledge, brilliant marketing skills (and a great photographer), plus a trove of interested buyers (mostly from Manhattan) they were eager to sell a home to. In the end, we raised our conservative asking price, and still sold the unit $15K over the higher ask. In all, the Armens were attentive, friendly and extremely diligent. One more thing: because word has gotten out in our building about how good the Armens are, a majority of shareholders have decided to use them. The big side benefit is this: In part because of them, the comps in our building have risen appreciably, which has created a virtuous circle. Armens > Good results > Word Spreads > Higher Prices > Armens > Even better results.

Integrity. Knowledge. Honesty. These are virtues to be prized in everyday life, but difficult to find in this day and age, especially in the realm of real estate. Armen & Armen elevate these values with class and charm. You experience it from the moment you meet them. They have an attention to detail and service that are exemplary.

They are incredibly considerate with their clients. They search out the right situation for each person, whether you are a first timer buyer or seasoned seller. They take pride in their work and great care in the manner that they conduct business.
I wish I have found them at the beginning of my search to buy. They have gone above and beyond in their helpfulness to me, without even being a client.
Over the span of 2 years, I have dealt with a number of real estate agents and Armen & Armen are the Gold Standard.

Helenahandbasket – Helped me sell a home

I can’t recommend “the Armens” highly enough. They got an offer (at full asking price!) within one week. The people who bought it had seen it the first day the Armens began showing it. There were also some other very interested parties who said they would make offers if this full-price offer fell through (which it didn’t, because the Armens get a sense of who is a “serious” buyer before starting to show). For some context, an almost identical apartment took nine months to sell with another realtor.

Not only do they match buyers and sellers well, they take marketing very seriously and make sure buyers in Manhattan and Brooklyn know about the great apartments Jackson Heights has to offer.
The Armens were also very responsive, personable, and pleasant. We will definitely use them again when the time comes, and recommend them to everyone we know.

I was very happy with my experience working with Armen and Armen selling my apartment. They created a good plan to find a buyer quickly and followed through with the necessary paper work in a timely manner. There knowledge of Jackson Heights is very good, even though they are relative newcomers to the real estate scene here. I was impressed at their thoroughness.

As a former president of Colonial Court I have nothing but praise for Armen & Armen. They sold our apartment at very close to the listing price in 3 weeks. Their professionalism and guidance in the sales process was invaluable, and we truly felt that our interests were being protected at all times.

I’m a loan officer and have worked with the Armens on a number of purchases and it’s a genuine pleasure to work with them. They are both top class professionals with deep knowledge and expertise in NYC real estate and really look after their clients. Armen Meschian is my contact man on a deal and he always does a great job of keeping everyone informed and making sure the process moves smoothly to the finish line. Great guys.

kranack  – Helped me sell a home

I had a wonderful experience selling with Armen & Armen. They sold my neighbor’s apartment in record time, which is how I heard about them. I wasn’t totally sure I was going to sell when I met with them, but I felt that they were honest, straightforward and interested in getting me a good sales price but also cared very much about getting the right buyers for the space. It worked out really well, I sold in a matter of weeks, and everything was easy-breezy. I highly recommend Armen & Armen! Thanks so much!

Amyballmer – Helped me buy a home

The Armens were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of searching for and ultimately buying a home (our first). I can honestly say that we couldn’t have done this without them! While every aspect of our experience benefited from working with Armen & Armen, I think we appreciated most their trustworthiness and knowledge about the neighborhood, the building, the process.. everything! It’s one thing to have questions answered, it’s another to know that you can trust the answers. I highly recommend working with Armen & Armen!

Armen M. & Armen K. are consummate professionals. Although my wife and I were on the other side of the table, it was obvious to us that these two gentlemen had solid expertise in the industry and were highly knowledgeable of the local market. They were extremely responsive to our inquiries, and they were helpful facilitators of our negotiations. Their business demeanor showed a level of seriousness, organization, and attention to detail that is a true credit to their industry. I recommend them without any reservation whatsoever to anyone looking for high caliber real estate brokerage services.

Rpelliccia – Helped me buy a home

I was introduced to the Armen’s as they were the seller’s agent on the coop we just purchased in Jackson Heights. Our first home buying experience went flawlessly and I accredit a large part of that to them. I had several questions for them throughout the process, being that this was our first home, and they always answered me promptly and honestly. I even used the mortgage broker who they recommended and ended up getting a fantastic rate and really low fees. It’s always a pleasure to work with people who are great at what they do and the Armen’s certainly are. If I ever sell this place they will absolutely be my first call. I would 100% recommend them.

Armen weighs in on a real estate project with a healthy array of experience. He’s been involved in sales of condos, coops and homes that give him the kind of wisdom I need. He’s able to see things from angles that I haven’t thought about and his advice is valuable. I have asked him to work for my family and friends multiple times and their feedback was the same. He’s a great agent and gives trustworthy advice!

Roy – Helped me sell a home
 
Armen stepped in and helped us sell our beloved one-bedroom apt on Riverside Drive. While our apt itself is great, there were some obstacles regarding financing in this particular building partially due to the large number of sponsor units. Armen identified financing alternatives for the prospective purchasers, and negotiated a good price. He also kept in contact with us throughout the process. I would recommend him.
