Testimonials

I highly recommend this top star and her Luxury Advisory Team. Filippa is very knowledgeable about the Manhattan real estate market. She thoroughly researches and studies the properties she is selling. She knows and is up to speed on current as well as past sale and carefully suggests the best way to prepare and present the property to its best advantage. She is very helpful with information about reliable tradespeople, necessary permits and certifications, as well as pricing. Her constant availability and communication skills are above excellent. 

Filippa is the BEST. If you are lucky enough to work with her, you know why everyone in the New York real estate world says the same thing; she is one of their favorite people to deal with. Her professionalism and knowledge of Manhattan's Byzantine coop/condo world are just a few reasons why she is a such pleasure to do business with. You are in good hands, if you chose Filippa as your realtor.

Working with Filippa is a treat- she is the best broker I've worked with. In 2009, she patiently showed me about 10 apartments and eventually found a gem that was under market price - I am still in this apartment today. She was prompt, very personable, creative, and won't stop working until you find an apartment that you are happy with. She is the cream of the crop- an All-Star. I highly recommend Filippa.

Filippa and her support staff were such a wonderful team to work with as we were searching for our new home. She is patient, diligent, and willing to answer all of my questions in a timely fashion. Mostly importantly, I felt confident that I could trust her advice was serving our best interest as she navigated us through the complexities of the NY real estate market. I highly recommend Filippa and her team!

Purchased a condo as investment. Filippa was trustworthy and very efficient in the whole process, of finding properties that would fit the requirements that I was looking for. We found the right one and she guided me successfully through the whole transaction process. Once purchased, she took care of finding tenants straight away. I would absolutely recommend Filippa to anyone willing to buy & lease a property in NYC.

Since we did not have a buyer's agent, Filippa acted as both the seller's agent and the buyer's agent for the coop apartment we purchased. Throughout every step of the process, Filippa went above and beyond our expectations, providing us with any and all information we needed to make our purchase, as well as really helping us prepare our board package. She is thorough, professional, intelligent and reliable - we can't recommend her highly enough.

After a few weeks of activity, I put my real-estate hunt on pause for a two-weeks trip to London; my primary broker was leaving for business in business in Hong Kong just as I returned, so she recommended I work with Filippa in her absence. It turned out to be a critical juncture in my housing search, as I reinstated my interest in a property I had previously bid, but lost out on. Throughout the entire process, Filippa was unfailingly calm, coolheaded, knowledgeable, and readily accessible; she went above and beyond for me -- even waiting an hour for the seller's broker to admit her to the apartment after they had twice rescheduled our visit -- and provided extremely valuable advice as we renewed our negotiations. When my primary broker returned to the US, Filippa remained very involved with the deal and helped ensure a successful transaction. I would recommend her unreservedly to anyone in search of a savvy, sensible, highly intelligent guide to the housing market.

I was new to living in NYC, so I really didn't have a thorough and complete feel for the market like someone who lived here for many years would. This meant that I had to rely on Filippa's expertise, and I can definitely say that my trust was rewarded. She had a great knowledge of what was available in my price range, and we ended up finding a fantastic deal. Also, going through the co-op application process is very complicated, and Filippa guided me right through it. In the end I made a successful purchase of a co-op in a great location, and we negotiated a very worthwhile deal. Furthermore, she has very dependable contacts in real estate law, mortgage consultants, and contractors for any other transaction-related needs you have during and after the process.

Filippa is a consummate real-estate professional with great instincts, a wonderful sense of style, and a profound understanding of people and space. The old saying that only three things matter in real estate; "location - location - location" might be transposed to characterize what really matters in a real-estate broker; “connections - connections – connections” and Filippa has many!

Filippa’s combination of design savvy, warmth, elegant personality and great style along with her real-estate market-knowledge, expertise and connections (New York, National, and International) make her an outstanding and uniquely qualified broker. Whether you are a landlord looking to rent a unit, an owner looking to sell a building or apartment, or a buyer or investor looking for that unique building or living space, you will be well advised to put Filippa on your team so she can chart the course to fulfilment of your vision.
