"From the minute my daughter and I met Ryan and Jason, we were impressed with their great energy and appearance. After many unsuccessful interviews with other agents we felt very confident and comfortable about selecting Ryan and Jason to represent our co-op. The sale process was swift and painless besides the fact that we received two full-price offers right out of the gate. They handled the board package and building staff with ease, and their experience in the building was just one of the many reasons we felt they were the perfect team. We thank them so much for making this entire process smooth and easy for our family in a difficult time and we certainly made the right choice." - Ruth
"This past August I was on the apartment hunt as I wanted to relocate back to Manhattan after retiring from a 30-year teaching career. I reached out to Ryan Garson from a referral of a friend of mine and 15 minutes later, I got a call. Ryan was calling from a hospital room while waiting for the birth of his first child. How exciting! Two months later, I have my new home because of his great efforts and constant assistance. He helped me, a new homeowner, with the bidding process in which there were other competitive offers. Ryan provided me information comparing the values of other apartments in the building and comparable apartments in the area. This enabled me to decide on an offer that prevailed. Then the work began! Ryan gathered and properly presented the necessary information for the board package. All of this was accomplished under a tight time frame. With the birth of Ryan's daughter and my gaining a new home, I feel we are both blessed. I can truly recommend Ryan Garson as an outstanding real estate broker" - Melanie
"I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Garson. He walked us through a very difficult process and gave us great advice to maximize value for our apartment. Although the deal and the buyers were challenging for a variety of reasons, Ryan never flinched and was with us every step of the way to make sure the deal didn't fall through. He was personable, intelligent, well-informed, and savvy about the state of the market. I have never dealt with a better broker." - Burt
"Ryan Garson was instrumental in helping us find our forever home. As first-time buyers, we were nervous and unsure how to navigate the complex New York real estate market. Ryan immediately made us feel at ease and not only helped us narrow our search and hone in on exactly what we were looking for, but he was extremely patient and talked us through the entire process. With a baby on the way and a dog we adore, it was important for us to find a place where we could see ourselves raising a family and Ryan made us feel confident in our decision. Now that we have settled into our new place we couldn't be happier!" - Rachel and Brian
"Ryan and team were absolutely great to work with. They hustled from the very beginning, worked diligently to come up with creative ideas to market the apartment, and were extremely professional and responsive throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend them." - Jordan and Mara
