Testimonials

Review - I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Soha! My husband and I had literally 24 hrs to find an apartment for a lease the very next month. Her service was excellent and so efficient in contacting us and helping us find a place. She was so helpful and her no nonsense attitude helped us get exactly what we wanted. She was very knowledgeable of the market in Hoboken. I would defiantly recommend and use her assistance again.

Review - Soha is an excellent resource for anyone looking to buy a place in Hoboken. As we were looking for a condo, she exhibited great patience and flexibility. Soha also went out of her way to help us find the condo that met all of our needs. She is efficient and will work extremely hard to satisfy her clients. We chose her over several other agents due to the combination of these characteristics. Highly recommended.

Review - I recently closed on my first purchase, and used Soha as my agent. I cannot say enough good things about her. Her service is excellent, and she is a TRUE professional. She is always accesible via email or phone, and responds in minutes. She quickly became familiar with what I was looking for, and has an excellent knowledge of the market not only in Hoboken, but also the surrounding areas. I had lots of bad luck during my purchase, but I could always count on Soha to fight for me, give honest advice, or just give me a pep talk when I needed it! I truely belive she goes the extra mile for all her clients.

Review - I have just bought my first house and not being an American, I did not really know how things work, but Soha was great. Her no nonsense attitude was great and she really went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and happy. I was her number one priority. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to everyone looking to buy a house. Thanks Soha for a great house buying experience.

Review - I would not hesitate a moment before recommending Soha. We searched for over a year for our place, and she was patient and effective (did not waste our time, but proposed different ideas, etc). Most importantly, she was a true professional, which is not the most typical characteristic among RE agents. You KNOW she is on your side in the transaction- she does not have hidden agendas, etc. Best to work with!

Review - We had worked with several realtors in Hoboken before finding Soha -- she is absolutely the best. She is professional, dedicated and a great negotiator. She truly has your best interest at heart. When we are back in the market, we will only call Soha.

Review - Soha was our buyer's agent on our last acaquisition. She was a breath of fresh air. She actually listened to us (rarity among RE agents), understood what we were after and did not waste our time with listings that obviously did not meet our objectives. Perhaps most imporantly, she was an effective negotiator and got us a deal that we're very happy with. She's a very successful agent (both buy and sell-side) for a host of very good reasons. I would recommend Soha without any reservations.

Review - Soha did a wonderful job handling the rental of our apartment. She was pro-active in finding tenants, negotiated a good deal for us, and even helped us to find a cleaning service to prepare the apartment for the new tenants.

Review - Soha made the entire condo buying process a pleasure. This was the first home that we purchased, and our experience with Soha was great. We met with other agents and Soha was by far the most honest, helpful and professional. We would 100% recommend Soha to anyone looking to buy or rent a new home.

Review - Soha is terrific! In today's tough real estate market, she had a full-price offer for my property within 28 days. Her marketing, pricing, communication, and negotiation skills are the best! Soha has been my buying agent and selling agent for different properties and excels on both sides. I highly recommend her.

Review - You would be hard pressed to find a better real estate agent than Soha. She knows Hoboken and Jersey City like the back of her hand, which is essential in her line of work. Soha worked really hard to find us the right place, and even showed us properties for which she would have received a reduced commission if we'd bought them. Her main priority really was to help us find the right home for us. And Soha didn't stop working after the contracts were signed either; she kept on helping us out, working with the seller's brokers and helping us to find painters, contractors, and housekeeping people, as well as giving us lots of guidance about our new neighborhood. All in all, what could have been a frustrating process couldn't have gone smoother, and Soha deserves a big portion of the credit for this happy outcome. Thanks, Soha!
