"We knew from the moment Berdie walked in our home that she was the Broker for us. Her honesty, integrity and total professionalism were the key factors in us selling our home so quickly. In today's market, not only did Berdie know just what it would take to sell the house, but to do so within 3 months.Thank you again for a wonderful selling experience and we would highly recommend you to any future clients.-Joe and Maria Santos?"Berdie is one of the hardest working RE agents we know. She sold my aunt's house in NY (We're in CA) and was always on top of the situation which included hiring and overseeing work that needed to be done on the house. Her network of professionals that prepared the house for sale were invaluable and clearly showed her experience in the real estate market and what it took to sell a property. We unhesitatingly recommend Berdie to anyone selling their home. She will treat it like a home, not just a house." -Gene Krzywinski?"Berdie is a fantastic real estate agent.. Not only did she help us find a terrific house -- she helped us choose the best neighborhood for our family, and her advice was right on! We've made a ton of friends and we are so happy here. She also helped us find painters, landscapers, etc.-- everything we needed to make the new house into our home. Berdie is the best!" -Anne Todd?"My wife and I were fortunate enough to have been referred to Berdie Stein early in our search for a home. Despite a relatively small budget and a long list of demands, Berdie dedicated herself to finding the right home for us at the right price. Always knowledgeable and honest, Berdie guided us through the process and was consistently proactive in finding potential homes, service vendors, and opportunities to save money. She truly had our best interests at heart and far exceeded expectations and the performance of other agents with which we've worked. For as long as we stay in New York, we will use Berdie Stein to buy and sell our homes. Save yourself time and frustration and hire Berdie, she will become a valuable partner in the process and a friend as well." -Marc Porter?"We have known Berdie for over ten years. She has helped my wife and I to purchase our home and 11 years later she continues to provide us with guidance on the market as we perform repairs and renovations and as we set our sights to possible change. Both my wife and I have found Berdie to be very personable, attentive to details, a great listener and most importantly possessing an amazing knowledge of the real estate market in the Larchmont and New Rochelle areas." -Wajdi Atallah

"Berdie is excellent. We were searching for a house in New York while living in London and she was patient, responsive, and was happy to show us around a number of different towns and properties. She knows her market incredibly well, and has very good / innovative ideas for properties that needed some work (as ours did). We highly recommended Berdie." Jad Atallah

"Berdie helped my husband and I buy our first home. She was very personable and resourceful throughout the entire process. When we first started looking, she was patient and took the time to educate us on neighborhoods we were interested in, taking us to many houses and had our best interests at heart while evaluating what we saw. When we finally found the house we wanted, she was quick and efficient to get the deal done. Being that we lived and worked in the city, and were buying a home in Westchester, Berdie made herself available to take care of things for us such as meet with inspectors and visit the building department when needed, without us having to be present. She really saved us a lot of aggravation. Berdie also connected us with inspectors, attorneys, mortgage brokers and contractors - and we were not disappointed with any of her recommendations. We are grateful we had such a professional by our side through our first home buying experience!" Faith Kirkpatrick
