We worked with Jillian Maslow at Elika and she was terrific - informed, energetic, positive but clear-eyed, and especially patient. She frequently steered us away from places that she knew weren't right for us and then guided us through the offer-acceptance-board approval when we found a place that was. A genuine buyer's agent. Highly recommend.

After our experience buying an apt in NYC with Amy, it was a no brainer to seek her help again when we wanted to look for a home in the suburbs. Her knowledge and thoroughness helped us navigate a tough buyers market. It was so reassuring to get her advice stemming from her years of experience and in the end we were able to buy our dream home. We cannot thank her enough and we highly recommend Amy!!

I purchased an Upper East Side coop as a first time buyer using Elika, with Denise Thirkill as my agent. Denise was patient and professional, and very responsive, showing me properties around Harlem, East Harlem and the Upper East Side for about 3 months (including one offer that I ended up backing out of) before I finally found the one. Denise and the Elika team did a phenomenal job, negotiating $50k under asking on not one, but two fixer upper estate properties in the course of my search. I felt that I ended up with a really great value at the end of the day. Denise was able to guide me through the coop board application and interview process seamlessly, which included assembling an old-school binder of materials of which six copies had to be made, as well as a personal statement. There came a point where the ball was nearly dropped between the bank, the seller's agent, and the managing agent about scheduling a firm closing date and time, but Denise went to work getting everyone on track to ensure that the closing went forward on time. Even my attorney commented on how much work Denise did behind the scenes to ensure that everything moved ahead. Denise also accompanied me through the final walk through of the unit and discovered an electrical problem that I was able to have addressed in the closing. I truly could not have asked for a better agent to guide me through my first home purchase. Denise was absolutely phenomenal.
