Testimonials

Carol was so much more than just my broker. She was my interior designer, project manager, renovator, stager, marketer, and in the end, my friend. She committed her own money for my home improvements and exquisite staging, and in less than one month she sold it for over $1M more than 8 top brokers said it was worth. Carol saw things and did things with my apartment that no other broker suggested. She took my tired home where I had lived for 35 years and reinvented it. And it all started with exactly what she promised: she literally rolled up her sleeves and in the very first afternoon got rid of half the clutter. She even washed the windows and planted my terrace. Then came the skills that clearly set Carol apart: she re-imagined the entire layout. In a word, she made it irresistible. With her keen sense of interior design, she opened the space, increased its functionality, maximized the views, added another bedroom, and brought a whole new luxury to the entire surroundings. When she was done, all I could say was—Wow! I am forever grateful.

Carol is a Real Estate Rockstar!

I have had the pleasure of working with her several times – Carol sold me my first apartment and resold it for me for a huge profit years later. Then, with her incredible vision, she guided me to purchase two apartments to combine as an outstanding second home and investment. Carol, an artist and perfectionist down to the smallest details, assisted with the entire design, gut-renovation using her trusted team, and was the project manager every step of the way. When it came time to sell it years later, with her unparalleled expertise and staging, Carol sold my apartment in less than 1 month for almost $1.5M more than top brokers said it was worth, including one who lived in the building. I was blown away! Recently, Carol personally transformed my Mother’s dated apartment into a showplace that will net at least $500,000 more in profit with her makeover. For the biggest profits possible, there is no one in the industry who compares to Carol.

Okay, if I did not experience working with this broker myself, I would be sure I was making this up. After a year with a well-known broker and another half with another (neither having any luck and recommending I reduce my listing price), I found Ms. Carol Levy as she had just sold in my building. Of course, other jealous brokers spoke ill of her but that is what they often do so I ignored them and met with this 5' 2'' pistol myself. Wowzie!! Like a ballerina, she appeared to leap around my home with one brilliant-sounding idea after another. I could hardly contain her love and excitement for what she does.

When she stated that not only should I not further decrease the price like I had just been suggested, but increase it, I had to pause. And then when she told me if I trusted her vision, she was confident she would sell it immediately. She knew exactly what had to be done and the best part was that she would do it all herself. I held my breath and trusted her and like magic, she did sell it immediately at hundreds of thousands more than it had been previously listed. The best broker ever.

Carol Levy is an amazing realtor who goes above and beyond what typical realtors do. We first met Carol six months ago when she was showing an apartment she had renovated and staged on behalf of a client. The apartment, although smaller than we needed, was exquisite and gave us a feel for Carol’s vision and talents, and we immediately asked Carol to work with us to find an apartment of similar elegance and appeal. We had somewhat specific priorities, and she easily understood our priorities in terms of space, view, location, quality of building, and price. She prescreened apartments and told us very efficiently which ones to see. She patiently answered endless questions and concerns about value and the work that needed to be done. When it came time to put in bids and submit a co-op application, she skillfully guided us through the process. And when we ultimately purchased an apartment, she helped us find a contractor, make design choices, and prioritize the work that needed to be done. She has always answered calls as if we were her only clients and has expertly dealt with the different types of questions and concerns my husband and I had, offering wise advice and support. She is truly exceptional!

CAROL IS 5 STARS! I have worked with Carol on three real estate deals over the past 12 years, two sales and one purchase. On the sale side, Carol and her team staged the units impeccably, using current market trend materials. The staging helped drive a competitive market. In both instances, the unit sold with limited time on market at a price that exceeded my expectations by more than 20%. For the purchase, Carol negotiated favorable price terms, managed the "paper trail", was invaluable on the walk throughs and influential in the board approval process. Highly recommend selecting Carol as your broker, you will benefit from her years of experience and market knowledge.

Carol was an outstanding real estate broker for us. She goes above and beyond to help you sell your home. She is a broker ( and very good at that), but also much more than that. She markets, project manages, and represents your home with the utmost integrity and work ethic. She engaged legal counsel when needed and engaged vendors, and helped us prepare our home to stand out from the competition to achieve a record price. Carol is available 24/7 and always responds in a timely manner. It was a pleasure working with Carol, and we highly recommend her if you plan on selling your home!!
