Over 150 million sold! Looking to refer a broker? Call Denae Montesi!
Seen on HGTV. Denae Montesi is a born and raised New Yorker. She lives, eats, sleeps, and breathes NYC real estate. Her husband can attest.
Denae Montesi has collaborated with both sellers and buyers in all kinds of NYC buildings, from luxury pre-wars to brownstones to high-rise condominiums. Denae Montesi was a theatre major in college and this gave her the training to be a chameleon and understand every type of buyer and seller. She understands the emotional stress, and try to make the process a joyful one, regardless of the hurdles. Her job is never the same on any given day because each person is different…and a great real estate agent should know that their job is to keep everyone happy and stress-free. Denae Montesi also thinks agents forget that they operate in a “no harm, no foul” zone. The seller has the right to get the highest price, and the buyer has the right to try to pay the lowest. It is her job to keep reminding everyone that these are the rules of engagement…it is business even though it is also very personal.
One of Denae Montesi’s “tricks of the trade” is to always have specialists on hand, whether an interior decorator, stager, attorney or a mortgage broker. She considers herself the connector of everything real estate and lifestyle related. She connects those dots like nobody’s business! And this benefits everyone with whom she works.
In NYC they have a special “animal” called the cooperative. In fact, approximately 70% of their purchasable real estate is in coops. You not only have to find the apartment of your dreams, but then you have to meet a committee of potential new neighbors from the building...after they have reviewed everything about you, but your blood type…and, wait to see if they like you enough to allow you to close on the apartment. Talk about stressful! Luckily, Denae Montesi is an expert at identifying those buyers who will “pass” the dreaded coop Board and keeping everyone calm throughout the process, which can take 90 days after you have signed the contract of sale!
Denae Montesi calls herself a seller’s "last marriage.” What she means by that is she is an expert at selling apartments that did not sell with other brokers. She swoops in as the second or third broker and manage to get the job done. When Denae Montesi comes into the mix, she is their last broker, as she always gets the job done for them.
Lastly, Denae Montesi is the most positive real estate broker you will ever find. Her co-workers, customers and clients can attest to this. Her two favorite expressions are: “Everything is great! It is all going to work out,” and" Easy breezy!”
From Wall Street to Harlem, Denae Montesi has sold everywhere. She does not do this job only for the money, but in great part for the joy of finding someone a new home or helping someone sell theirs. Denae Montesi listens, cares, and really wants to make her clients and customers happy…might sound like Pollyanna, but it is true!
