A Realtor with any major realty firm should be expected to provide impressive personal service based on extensive professional experience, market savvy, and range of contacts. Qualifications which are all the more essential in attracting ideally eligible prospective buyers subject to the approval of a particularly stringent co-op board in midtown Manhattan. But especially critical at such an extraordinary economic time challenged by inflation not seen in decades directly following the worst global pandemic in a century.

All of which is exactly why Andrea Wernick has proven truly indispensable in every respect without question. As a longtime resident at Plaza 400 herself, she is most familiar with both the building as well as the board and its requirements and expectations to ensure a successful sale process. Despite one of the worst real estate markets in years, Andrea and her team persisted over several months that could have well turned out far longer if not for the best possible buyer fortunately appearing with an offer which the board ultimately accepted.

But equally valuable before even showing the two bedroom apartment were Andrea’s referrals to other pros also experienced with preparing many others in the building for sale. First, an antiques and estate specialist who purchased all the art and much of the furniture and furnishings. Since the next owner would be certain to invest in a complete renovation, that cleared the way for Andrea’s recommended contractor to strip wallpaper from most of the walls before painting them presentably white and then pulling up all the wall-to-wall carpeting to reveal the original perfectly preserved parquet wood flooring – all finished in just four days at a very reasonable cost. And to close the sale finally, Andrea even had an attorney who had similarly worked with prior sellers in the building to ensure a smooth and straightforward transaction.

David made our apartment purchase happen. As we didn’t live in NY, we needed an agent who could search, review, video, share, discuss options with us remotely. He processed our feedback and input very well. After scheduling just one weekend to visit apartments in person, we were able to put in our offer — accepted — quickly. David was easy to work with, spend time with, and made the apartment purchase process easy, fun, and fulfilling.

Mr. Harris was a terrific agent for us from the first minute to the last. He quickly learned what we wanted – and what we did not want, and arranged showings accordingly. While my wife and I were quite discerning about the places we were interested in, he always showed patience and understanding …Never pressured us for a moment. David always made us feel like we had a confident on our side during the entire process. If, and when we search for or sell a home, we would not think of contacting anyone else for the job.
