“Janine has helped us selling our old place, renting out our other property, and buying a new condo. She’s easy to work with. Especially, she was excellent at selling our place when the market was unstable. She found a bank deal for the area, and the buyer was able to buy our place. She came and helped us clean and decorate. She is proactive, friendly and hard working. Thank you!”

“My partner and I recently purchased our first apartment in New York City. A process that, for anyone who has been through it knows, is no walk in the park. Were it not for the expert skills of our broker, Janine Young, of Compass, we would not be sitting in our new home today, smiling from ear to ear.
Janine not only has a vast knowledge of the intricacies of buying in New York City (we purchased in Manhattan), she also has a roster of key partners to work with during the process (attorneys, mortgage lenders, contractors, etc.), and an exceptional personality and the people skills to keep you moving forward from initial search to move-in.”

My partner and I recently purchased our first apartment in New York City. A process that, for anyone who has been through it knows, is no walk in the park. Were it not for the expert skills of our broker, Janine Young, of Compass, we would not be sitting in our new home today, smiling from ear to ear. Janine not only has a vast knowledge of the intricacies of buying in New York City (we purchased in Manhattan), she also has a roster of key partners to work with during the process (attorneys, mortgage lenders, contractors, etc.), and an exceptional personality and the people skills to keep you moving forward from initial search to move-in. One thing I quickly learned about Janine, that has been and is beneficial to all of her clients, is her knack for being able to find the best rate possible on mortgage loans. As our process began to gain steam, in late January of 2022, mortgage rates were on an upward trajectory. Despite that, Janine was able to find the right lender and rate for us; 2.8%! Friends who were buying during the same period had higher rates. Being first time home buyers, we were nervous about the process, especially as we were buying in a co-op. Janine let us know that she has a perfect record when it comes to co-op board approvals. She goes above and beyond in the creation of your board package. From a personally crafted cover letter, to additional interjected narratives throughout, Janine creates such a complete picture, that co-op boards can’t help but accept her clients. I cannot recommend Janine enough, for any and all of your real estate needs. She is attentive and delivers; she makes things happen. Buying in New York City is a difficult task, that ended up being easier and smoother, thanks to her steadfast dedication. Janine went to bat for us and knocked it out of the park. I know that she will do, and does, the same for everyone.

Janine helped us purchase a townhouse in Brooklyn. I got to know her through a friend who recommended her highly. Throughout the entire prolonged process, I was impressed by Janine's extensive knowledge of local neighborhoods, exceptional communication skills, patience, and integrity. She was never tired of explaining any questions we had, even during late night or weekend. She also has great, trustworthy sources of recommended partners, such as mortgage brokers, lawyers, plumbers and handymen. I have worked with multiple real estate agents in the past, and Janine is for sure one of the best who really went above and beyond on all aspects of the purchase. Her search was thorough. Her comps were accurate. She was able to spot problems with some of the listings right away (or even neighbors' problems). I would definitely recommend Janine to any of my friends who wants to purchase in NYC.”

“As a first time home buyer in Manhattan, I was very lucky to have found Janine. End to end, she has helped make the process as simple as one could hope for. Immediately after contacting her, we spoke and she began finding listings that were within my search criteria. Being the pro she is, she had also showed me a couple of outliers to help reinforce what it is that i wanted out of my new home, in terms of location, size, and of course price range. Over the course of about three weeks I had changed my search criteria a couple of times to which Janine was more than willing to customize the listings for us to view. Not long after we started Janine helped me find my dream home. Of course, after finding this one, we looked some more in order to make sure this one was the right one. Once we made an offer, Janine was quick to hit the ground running to help me get everything in order. She made it a very clear and concise process with the help of coworker Kim. I never felt overwhelmed at any point, this being a coop and all, and was constantly given reminders and touch bases to make sure we were on track. I am proud to be a new homeowner and my only regret now is that I dont have enough money to buy another home from Janine =) Thank you and much love Janine and Kim!”
