We hired Alan Levy to be our agent when selling our parent’s coop apartment in NYC, and he did a superb job. The sale had many ups and downs and he expertly advised and handled all aspects, keeping things focused on the main goal. Alan personally handled the staging at minimal cost and then we had great photos taken. He priced the unit accurately and made adjustments as needed due to a changing market. He organized weekly showings and gave us feedback on how they went. He balanced making improvements to help sell the apartment with not wasting money on things that wouldn’t matter to a potential buyer.

We had several glitches which can happen in NYC and we worked through them because Alan was able to communicate effectively with the buyer’s broker. We trusted Alan to keep our interests at the forefront which he unfailingly did. This had the direct result of a $60,000 increase in the sale price. I doubt this would have happened with an ordinary broker.

We were very pleased with all of Alan’s efforts, his skill, his experience, and his industry knowledge, and we highly recommend him for buying or selling real estate in New York City.

Alan provided  me with the resources and support for a smooth and pleasant sale of my New York City apartment in Spring/Summer of 2023.  He is a top notch agent.  This is the second time that I’ve engaged Alan as my broker and I returned to him without hesitation.  He was my first and only choice when I was ready to sell this property.

Alan diligently provided above and beyond support as I’d come to expect from him. Alan has the qualities that make him an effective broker.  I can’t say enough about his professionalism, integrity and knowledge of the industry.   From the very start, Alan’s guidance was very clear in presenting market conditions by presenting available comps and ensuring that we put the apartment up for sale for a fair market and achievable sale price.  He held numerous open houses of my property during a slower than usual period of activity, ensuring access and presentation of my apartment to potential buyers.  Throughout the term of our business relationship, he kept me up to date regarding all viewings, open houses and state of the real estate market.  When the purchase offer came in, he made sure to see that my interests were met by ensuring that I got the highest sale value.  The sale transaction went very smoothly and closed on time with his steadfast support.

I had to deal with a rigorous co-op board that rejected two of my buyers. As a result, I turned to Alan for assistance. He was able to turn everything around once he started helping me. Alan understands the market and suggested the best time to re-list my property. He prepared my apartment well before putting it back on the market by fixing things and taking new, more appealing pictures. Within a short period, Alan found me a qualified buyer with a reasonable offer. By completing the board package quickly and preparing the buyer for the board interview, he helped the buyer succeed in the board interview. Alan handled everything from beginning to end with professionalism and efficiency. I highly recommend Alan Levy to anyone who may benefit from his real estate services.

Alan’s representation of the property was a very positive contributing factor in our purchase of the property. Alan is knowledgeable and professional and accurately answered all of our questions. Alan was always available and flexible with his time scheduling multiple visits.

Post-closing, Alan continued to guide us through renovations. Always a fount of knowledge, he knew the building rules inside out and gave pointed, actionable advice and recommendations of general contractors and home improvement professionals without reservation.

I heartily recommend working with Alan.

Alan has a unique set of attributes, which compliment him in his career in sales. He displays a creative approach, achieved by being loyal to those he is working with, detail oriented, and committed to relationships. Alan has empathy and respect for his clients and good listening skills, treating others as he would like to be treated. He is demanding of himself, as is seen through his attention to organization and detail. He is a self-starter who stays on track and does not get distracted from his goals. But perhaps one of his most unique skills is his ability to remain optimistic. Being in sales means one encounters disappointments. Instead of being discouraged, Alan views sales that don’t pan out as opportunities to learn more about what he could do to personally improve the success vs loss ratio. It is undoubtedly for these reasons that Alan’s former clients both return and refer him to other prospective buyers.

I have known Alan for many years. I have found him to be honest, trustworthy, and hard working and have found him dependable in the past. His sometimes brutal honesty is refreshing in our line of business full of yes men. I totally give him my endorsement.

Alan is a great guy, and I am sure he will do his hardest work for everyone to find them the perfect place. If I were looking for a new place, I would definitely go to him.

I inquired about getting help from Alan for finding an apartment in NYC for a friend. Alan was extremely responsive and highly professional. Having known Alan for a number of years, I have thoroughly enjoyed my association with him. He is intelligent, thoughtful, helpful and someone on whom you can rely heavily.
