Testimonials

Greg was able to get us multiple offers after the first open house he hosted, he has worked in the city for the past 20 years and it shows. He’s very responsive and cares about his clients. Would recommend him again and again.
Melissa S.
Greg was great when we bought our place and just as great when he sold it! He got us the best deal possible and we were able to sell over asking price!
Christine and Robert V.
Greg made my first home buying experience as seamless as possible. He was with me every step of the way, and always made him available whenever I had any questions. When looking for my home, he made it a point to really understand what I was looking for, and ended up finding a home that was not even listed yet for me to look at (which is where I've ended up). Super proactive, on top of all the details, and always had my back. I enjoyed working with him, and will highly recommend him for all your real estate needs!
Hannah C.
We have used Greg for several transactions in the city and he is the best! He is very professional and knowledgeable about the market. He’s always available for you and one of the hardest working people I know!
Yasemin & Scott I.
Greg was an excellent resource while shopping for and purchasing our first home in New York. He was communicative and patient with us. We are from out of state, but Greg's vast network of colleagues in various industries made our entire process quick and seamless. Having a place to call our own in New York was always our dream. Greg made that dream come true.
Reily N.
I was searching for an apartment in Manahattan for 2 years. Suffice to say, finding a broker that you can trust in NYC is difficult to say the least. Greg is, without a doubt, the most hard working, responsive, honest, tenacious and down to earth guy I have ever met. I can not recommend him highly enough and will no doubt be telling my friends and family to use Greg when they are looking to buy or sell in NYC.
Damian P.
Greg was great to work with attentive to my needs and very professional. His time management skills are off the charts; as well as his ability to schedule and plan ahead. He went above and beyond to help me secure my board vetting process and final purchase, even as I was away traveling for work. If you choose Greg you will have someone who will be there for you for the whole process and is experienced and knowledgeable. Any buyer will be happy to have him on your side.
Gregory D.
From every point of view, Greg was excellent. I was selling a studio, during the Coronavirus pandemic when nothing was moving in the NYC market. Greg carefully discussed how to price it correctly to get it sold -- and it sold in 6 days! He then walked me through the entire process, and was very proactive about making sure the buyer's Board package was in order. He is delightful to deal with and really, really knows NYC real estate. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Sydell C.
The pandemic created an unprecedented shift in the real estate market, which resulted in a significant drop in demand for studios. Greg and his team were dogged in marketing and showing the apartment and reassured me that they would get it sold. He was patient through the whole process and once we were in contract, he was very much on top of the process and communicating with all necessary counterparties. He makes himself available every step of the way. I highly recommend him to work with anyone looking to buy or sell.
Angela C.
Greg was excellent to work with! When I was interested in seeing one of the properties, he responded immediately, and set up appointments at our convenience. When we saw multiple properties in one day in Hoboken, Greg had a car take us from place to place, which was great since it was winter during Covid. He ultimately arranged for us to see what is now our home by working with the seller's realtor to get us in to see the place five days before the open house. The place would have sold during an open house! Greg also recommended our closing attorney and the mortgage company, both are excellent! Finally, when my finances changed, Greg and I worked together to figure out the new criteria; the next day we ha…

Ellen I.
I was a first-time homebuyer in NYC, and the horror stories I'd heard from friends who had gone through the process were so intimidating! It did not sound fun. Yet I was lucky: my experience purchasing a co-op was simple and seamless - and I attribute that all to Greg! He's lived in NY his whole life and knows the neighborhoods well. He helped me find and secure an unreal deal (by NYC standards, of course ;)) and is very responsive (including on weekends and evenings when he should have been sleeping!). He covered every detail with preparing my board packages and prepped me for my interview so I knew what to expect. It's evident that he's seasoned and experienced, I would recommend Greg to anyone in NYC, …

Rachel B.
Greg represented me on the buyer's side in purchasing a condo in Hoboken. He was very attentive from start to closing and both aggressive and professional when it came to negotiations. He is very familiar with the neighborhoods and builders in the area and was able to creatively negotiate on my behalf. He certainly took the stress out of the process for me and made me feel comfortable having him on my side. I had a hard closing date before Thanksgiving and when some problems came up the day before, Greg was able to pick up all the loose ends for a smooth closing. Would definitely use Greg for any future purchases or sales as well as recommend him to friends and family.
Louis C.
Greg is an A-list broker! We met Greg at an open house when we were at the beginning of our search. Greg kept in touch by occasionally emailing listings. When we were more serious we thought to contact him. We worked with him for several months. He tirelessly showed us many apartments until we found the one that met all of our needs. He was an attentive listener and did not show us anything that was outside of our desired parameters. Importantly he did not waste our time. Greg is very professional and was able to advise us so that we made a solid real estate decision. He is extremely easy to work with, honest and someone we now call a friend.
Paula L.
He’s been amazing to work with and will go back to him if I ever need to sell or buy another home. He gives his 120% and always is on top of his things. He’s always a text or phone call away for the million questions that I had!
Christine K.
Greg is the best. He is knowledgeable, thorough, a great negotiator, and always gets the job done. We loved working with him and will be loyal customers going forward. Can’t recommend it enough!
Lindsay M.
Greg Cohen was fast efficient and thorough. His approach gave me the confidence to make my decision quickly. He was well prepared which allowed me to focus on my life without being over burdened by research.
Neal G.
Great communicator and very active. Greg always had an agenda and presented me with an itinerary, along with sheets on every home beforehand. He is very responsive and moves as quickly as you want. Easy to work with and will do it again given the chance.
Luigi B.
Simply put, Greg gets the deal done! He is professional, honest, and knows the market. He exceeded my expectations. If you want to sell your apartment, he is the guy to make that happen. Don’t waste your time talking to other brokers. If you want to see results, Greg is your broker.
Victoria L.
Greg and I actually met a long while back before I ever was even considering buying anything. He has been great to bounce ideas off of and stuck with me through it all. When my wife and I got serious about buying, Greg was there for us. He worked tirelessly to help screen and find a great place. He is also probably the most responsive person I know, which in the real estate industry could not be more important. I would definitely recommend working with Greg and indeed did refer my brother to him when the time came for him to buy a place.
Michael M.
Greg was recommended to me by a close friend, and I am really glad he was. He listened and took note of everything we were looking for or were interested in and did his research. Greg really wanted us to be happy, and he made us overjoyed when he presented us with our perfect home. One thing that really stood out about Greg was that he was always responsive via text, call or email no matter the time of day! Working with Greg was a pleasure and I look forward to doing more business with him sometime in the future.
Keith W.
Greg is dedicated to his clients and very accommodating. I had a great home buying experience. We looked at numerous neighborhoods. He took the time to help me search all options within my budget and found a great mortgage broker. He has also helped a number of my close friends purchase new homes.
Lou S.
Greg was super responsive and helpful in my home search! He lined up 7 - 10 showings in a day during my search, making it extremely efficient. He was also very knowledgeable about negotiating the offer and preparing the coop application, and navigating the process. Everything went super smoothly thanks to him
Yi-Jie W.
I was recommended to use Greg from close friends of mine who purchased in New York City and Jersey City, both recommended him highly. It is an honest pleasure to be the 3rd recommendation of that same group for whoever is seeking an aggressive, knowledgeable, and all-around great agent. Thank you, Greg!
Salvatore B.
Greg is a professional, hard working guy. He's charming, enthusiastic, and positive in both demeanor and attitude. Greg knew the right buildings to visit, the correct questions to ask, and the proper way to make a winning deal. I wouldn't work with anyone else.
Jonathan H.
Greg is incredibly professional and always accessible. If on rare occasions, he misses your call he will call you back practically immediately. I always felt like I could trust him and he was always honest with me with regards to properties. Great realtor and a great guy all-around.
Anthony P.
From day one, Greg impressed us with his professional demeanor and punctuality. At the same time, he made us feel comfortable with the entire process of buying a home in Manhattan and was incredibly friendly and easy to get along with. He always showed up on time, was always prepared to ask the right questions at the open houses, and promptly answered our own questions about the apartments we saw and about the board approval process. He always answered his phone and emails even when it was late at night. He made the whole process of preparing the board application incredibly easy and stress free.

Buyer
Greg served as my broker in the summer of 2014. He took the time to understand what it was I was looking for in terms of space, neighborhood, etc. He was patient in showing me various properties and shared pros and cons for each apartment I looked at, providing impartial opinions that allowed me to formulate my own view of each property. When I finally found the apartment that I eventually purchased, he actively helped in the negotiations. He provided his industry expertise throughout the entire process, which provided great comfort to me as a first-time homebuyer. The closing process was quite an adventure due so some issues caused by the seller’s attorney. Even with that, Greg was patient yet assertive,…

I have lived in my apartment for eight months and couldn’t be happier.
Buyer
Greg is the best real estate broker ever! The reason I give a 5-star because there is no option on Zillow to give 10 stars! Greg is a true problem solver and follows up on your progress all the time, especially when you need his help the most. He is willing to reach out to all his connections and solve your problem quickly and effectively. He is there all the time for you no matter what. He even texts back at 3:00 am! Where else can you find a broker like that? Greg makes my first home buying experience very smooth. I highly recommend Greg Cohen, the very best real estate agent!
Buyer
We found Greg to be an outstanding real estate agent. He was professional, knowledgable, detailed, extremely attentive, and most responsive as we looked for and recently purchased our manhattan apartment. Greg's familiarity with all the various neighborhoods in the city helped us to narrow our search based on our living preferences while still providing us with unique options to consider. This was particularly helpful as out-of-towners looking for a pied-à-Terre in the city. We would highly recommend him without any reservations.
Buyer
Where can I begin, Greg was absolutely great from the very beginning. Staying on top of things and answering phone calls at late hours of the night just to ensure things were running smoothly with the deal is something not every broker does. Reliable is not even the word, he’s way beyond that. You don’t have to worry about things ever falling into the cracks. I wouldn’t have been able to get this done if it wasn’t for him. He made my first home buying experience a great one and for that, I will always be grateful.
Buyer
Very knowledgeable, responsive, charismatic, and helpful. He quickly picked up on what I was looking for and helped me narrow my search. When I was unsure about what I wanted to do he was patient and offered advice. When I finally made my decision on my new condo he helped me act fast to secure it. I was very happy with my experience with Greg from the beginning of the search process to the end of closing.
Buyer
We found Greg to be very organized and thorough as we searched for a new home. He was very responsive to our feedback as we searched and adjusted the listings we saw based on that feedback. Greg was also very knowledgeable of the area we were looking in, which was a big help. From our start to closing on our new place, Greg was there every step of the way.
Buyer & Seller
Very responsive and helpful. The best agent to work with. Gregory helped us buy a condo and then lease it. He is always there when you need him. I recommend to everybody to work with him.
Buyer
Greg is a great agent that is very responsive and will go to bat for you 100% of the time. He will help navigate you through the whole process and make buying a place neatly painless.
Buyer
Greg is a professional and helped make the process of finding a home and closing on that home a wonderful experience. He was polite, considerate, and always looked for ways to make our lives easier. If you choose to work with Greg you will be in good hands.
Buyer
Greg is an innovator, a true problem solver, and an effective communicator. Selling a New York City apartment during an unprecedented time for all of us required Greg to help redefine every step of the home selling journey. He did so as a thoughtful partner and made the experience a truly rewarding one for me and my entire family.
Seller
Greg Cohen is a highly knowledgeable and professional realtor. He was extremely helpful in helping me find the perfect apartment to purchase and then completely guided me through the purchase process. He is always available to answer questions and address concerns. I would recommend using Greg Cohen to anyone!

Greg was very knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and helpful in our home buying process. He made our buying experience very enjoyable and found us an exceptional deal in the exact location we were looking to buy. I would recommend Greg without hesitation to anyone looking to buy and sell a home.
Buyer & Seller
If I could give Greg more stars I would. He is incredibly responsive. I never had to wait to get an answer from him. He is amazingly knowledgeable in his field and one of the most trustworthy people I know. He is honest, patient dedicated, helpful, and cares so much about his clients.
Buyer
Greg was the absolute best to work with as a first-time homebuyer. He was very responsive, answered all of our questions no matter how basic they were, and supported us throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond, setting up over 15 showings for us in 2 days. I cannot recommend him more to anyone trying to buy, sell, or rent. He's a great agent and an even better person and we will definitely be reaching back out to him in the future! You the man Greg!!!
