"I am writing to give Lorna Leibowitz my highest recommendation. Lorna possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent realtor and has a tremendous “grasp” of the market and that intuitive feeling as to what a house is really worth and how well it will sell. She is diligent, responsive, very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job. In my particular case as a seller of my home in the UES, Lorna recommended we initiate some minor upgrades as well as stage our apartment to maximize our sales price and sell the apartment quickly. Although it took some elbow grease to get the apartment ready to show, we immediately had multiple offers during our first showing and accepted a bid well above our asking price within two weeks of listing our home with Lorna. It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than Lorna or being anything but happy in choosing to work with her. Lorna’s perfect balance of knowledge, drive and enthusiasm will get the job done for you while exceeding your expectations!/i>" - John

"Lorna Leibowitz took us by the hand and guided my husband and I through the labyrinth that is "first time buying in Manhattan". What should have been an exhausting and complicated ordeal was made simple, accessible and remarkably seamless thanks to Lorna's professional acumen and attention to detail. She provided her expertise, offered professional opinions and suggestions. She catered to our specific needs and smoothed over the nasty wrinkles that always come up in the paperwork of buying a home. We cannot thank her enough for making our first home a reality with the manner only exhibited by the best agents who are backed by decades of seasoned experience." - Kerri

"Lorna is fantastic! Identifying critical information quickly and closing in record time. Lorna is a true pleasure to work with! We are so incredibly happy with our dream co-op that Lorna made happen with her very particular "negotiating" skills and years of experience with NYC Co-op Boards. Highly recommend her for any real estate needs that you have!
In addition to being a fantastic real estate professional, Lorna is a beautiful person inside and out!"

"Lorna was great to work with. Her knowledge about the neighborhood and the building was invaluable. She was a wonderful partner with the patience of a saint! especially with an ever changing marketplace. Very grateful for her partnership and counsel throughout the process. Sold is a great word! Thank you." - Jennifer

"We want to thank you for helping us sell our old apartment and buy our new one. We enjoyed working with you tremendously and we will recommend you to all our friends. During the selling process, we found your pricing and marketing strategy to be well-researched and well-executed. You were attentive to our concerns and a pleasure to have in our home over and over again during those busy few weeks. We were pleased, also, with the speed with which you found us a buyer and helped them get through the board approval and closing process. On the buying side, your thoughtful insights into the properties we visited were very helpful. You were on the mark in recommending buildings to visit, and your awareness of the changing Harlem market helped us reach a good decision. In addition, connecting us with financial institutions from which to pick was important. We’ve now been in our new home a month, and we are so happy with the way it all worked out. And to think, we only started this process at Thanksgiving. What a quick six months! Again, thank you, and do not hesitate to refer anyone to us for a more personal recommendation if that would be helpful." - Jennifer and Jim
