I first met Cindy in 2015 when I was looking to purchase my first property in Manhattan. As a foreign and first-time home buyer, I honestly didn’t know where to begin. There were so many steps, details, and unfamiliar rules that it felt overwhelming at times. From the very start, Cindy was incredibly patient and took the time to guide me through everything step by step.

What I appreciated most was how approachable and responsive she was. Whenever I had questions, she was always just a phone call or email away. She never made me feel rushed or pressured and always made sure I understood what was happening at each stage. That kind of support made a huge difference, especially being new to the process.

Cindy also has deep knowledge of the Manhattan real estate market. She explains things clearly and gives thoughtful advice that helped me feel confident in my decisions. Buying a home in New York City is a big milestone, and I truly felt that she cared about helping me make the right choice.

Even after I moved out of the United States, I continued working with Cindy to rent out my Upper West Side apartment over the past several years. The tenants she found have all been fantastic and responsible, and I’ve been very happy with the experience. The fact that I trusted her to manage something so important from overseas says a lot about my confidence in her professionalism and integrity.

Over the years, Cindy has become more than just a real estate advisor to me — she feels like family. We still meet up whenever we can, and she is someone I genuinely trust and consider a friend. I’m very grateful to have had her guidance throughout this journey.

I would absolutely recommend Cindy to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in New York City. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients. She’s not just a broker, but someone you can trust and work with long term.

I worked with Cindy when buying my first home in NYC in the summer of 2023, and it was a great experience from start to finish. As a first-time buyer, I had many questions, and Cindy was always patient, responsive, and very informative throughout the entire process. She guided me every step of the way and even recommended a great real estate attorney, which made everything much easier. I was very happy with the outcome and would absolutely work with Cindy again. I’ve already recommended her to others and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again!

A Realtor You Can Trust
As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Cindy Chen both as a buyer and a seller, I can confidently say she is an outstanding realtor. My experience with Cindy during our apartment transition within Manhattan—selling one apartment and purchasing another—showcased her exceptional professionalism and dedication.

As a Buyer’s Agent:
Cindy's approach is thoroughly professional. She took the time to understand our specific needs in detail, consistently providing listings that matched our criteria. She kept us well-informed with the latest market updates, including changes in housing policies and interest rates, and how these could impact us. Cindy was always prepared for every apartment visit, helping us schedule viewings and meticulously analyzing each property’s strengths and weaknesses. Unlike some agents who might prefer buyers to pay more to increase their commission, Cindy focused on our best interests. She conducted her research diligently, advised us on making reasonable offers, and ensured we paid a fair price. Thanks to her expertise, we found our ideal apartment—a place we truly love living in.

As a Seller’s Agent:
Cindy's dedication shone equally bright. Despite a challenging market with high-interest rates, her strategic insights were invaluable. She took the time to understand our neighborhood’s dynamics, property values, and potential buyers, formulating an effective sales strategy. Cindy managed most of the open houses herself, despite living far away and caring for a young baby at home. Her commitment was evident as she engaged with prospective buyers to understand their needs, refining our selling approach accordingly. Her strong support team was always ready to assist, providing necessary resources whenever required. Cindy’s follow-up with interested parties was persistent and professional.

Selling and buying simultaneously, especially in a downturned market, is no small feat. Cindy prepared us for every contingency with multiple backup plans. However, her skillful handling ensured that we successfully sold and bought our properties within the same month, facilitating a seamless transition.

Cindy is the epitome of what you look for in a real estate broker—patient, empathetic, professional, intelligent, diligent, and efficient. There is simply no one better!

We’re not the easiest group to work with, but Cindy has handled everything with professionalism and care. She communicates every step of the way, ensuring we’re always well-informed and comfortable with our decisions. Her dedication and commitment to doing her best have made a world of difference for us. Highly recommend!

She was responsive to communications from us during the process. Cindy was very professional and offered us great advice that helped us to complete the purchases and rental projects quickly and successfully.

I had a great experience working with Cindy to find my forever home in NYC! She was very patient with me as I kept looking around until we found the perfect home. She was always very responsive over email and text and I knew I could always get a hold of her. I randomly came across her profile online but am so glad I did!
