I was so fortunate to have the team of Ann and Elena handle the sale of my pied-a-terre in Chelsea. They are extremely knowledgeable, honest, responsive, dependable, trustworthy, customer centric and go far beyond their job requirements.
Ann and Elena were there for me every step of the way. Their guidance on setting the asking price of the property was invaluable and spot-on. Communication with them was never an issue. They provided updates (either via WhatsApp or email) on a regular basis before and after each showing.
Once my property was under contract, Ann and Elena did everything to help me so that the sale proceeded smoothly including liaising with the super of the building to coordinate furniture removal to being present to let the utilities company into the property to complete additional work. I was deeply appreciative for all their help as I couldn''t have managed all this from Switzerland.
If I purchase another pied-a-terre or even rent one in NYC, I would work with them again as they are just genuine and kind people who are passionate about what they do.

I was referred to Ann by a colleague so already I knew that she is someone I can rely on.
From the first day I met Ann, I realized she is a well-organized and detailed orientated person. Ann always researched ahead and showed up prepared and punctual. She tailored to my needs and offered her professional opinions when called for. When I had questions or doubts regarding the building or the sales, she would work tirelessly to find out all the necessary information, and does not stop until she gets me the answers.
We started looking in May and I closed in Sept. She guided me the entire way, from making appointments to see places, to making an offer, to obtaining mortgage, to board approval and lastly to closing. She was there for me every step. Without her, I certainly could not accomplish it in less than 5 months, especially in competitive market like NYC where demands are high and Co-op boards are strenuous.
I would recommend Ann to my friends and family without hesitation. And I hope you will get to work with wonderful agent Ann Takahashi as well!

Ann Takahashi found the apartment of my dreams. With her expertise we were able to update my old apartment with fresh paint, new tiles and appliances so that it was “picture perfect.” for marketing. Thus, she was able to find a qualified buyer who paid our full asking price. Ann was always available to answer my questions and worked tirelessly on my behalf. She is reliable, helpful and competent. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell an apartment.

Ann Takahashi helped us streamline our options which were the West Village and the Financial District of Downtown NYC.
She has a quick and precise sense of what we were looking for and kept in close contact only offering to show us properties that suited our needs. Needless to say, we are busy New Yorkers and didn''t have a whole lot of time to look at superfluous places that were not in our price range or out of our desired neighborhoods.
We found our perfect West Village apartment with her. We closed in record time, under three months. Unheard of in the sellers market of 2013.
I can''t imagine a smoother transaction that Ann helped facilitate as our broker. We would gladly recommend her to any of our friends and hope to do business with her again.
We love our place! Thank you Ann.
