My wife and I used to believe that it was impossible to actually “pay less and get more”. Then we hired Aligned to broker the sale of our NYC apartment and the purchase of a new one. Now we believe. It’s as simple as this – with Aligned we are saving upwards of tens of thousands of dollars, and Aligned’s services are the best we’ve ever experienced. They are attentive and knowledgeable, professional and respectful, and exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t be more pleased or recommend them more strongly.

Aligned has launched a new model for residential real estate brokerage in New York City. Because real estate is one of our most important investments, it’s critical to know that our partner’s incentives are aligned with ours in selling our property. What’s amazing is that we haven’t seen this model introduced earlier.

I’ve been a NYC real estate attorney for more than 10 years and know Steve and Jon as two of the top brokers in the business. They carry a rare integrity to their profession. They know New York and are New Yorkers. They understand the interiors of property – fixtures, cabinetry, floors – in addition to exteriors, streets and corners. I am particularly impressed with the close relationships they have with their clients as well as the depth of knowledge they bring with respect to New York condominiums, townhouses and coops. When it came time to sell my apartment, there was little doubt who my brokers would be.

Steve was incredibly professional and effective in selling our apartment. Both my husband and I were honestly a bit shocked that he got us such a great price. Plus, he’s a pleasure to work with. He is courteous, organized, tenacious and really understood the market and how to position our apartment. I was especially impressed with his attention to detail like plugging in his iPod with the perfect playlist for our open house. I would highly recommend Steve.

Working with Steve and Jon has been excellent. Steve and Jon, through their great knowledge of the market, their ability to spot opportunities, and their inside contacts with developers, have enabled us to close on multiple apartments at great values. When they sold our apartment, we were able to realize a substantial profit. We couldn’t be happier.
