Wohlfarth went above and beyond what I was expecting from a broker. They advised on a cost-effective renovation and staging (at no charge) that made the apartment very desirable and helped us realize a record high price and a fast sale.
Their marketing program, including professional photography and video, along with outreach to other brokers and skilled negotiating, resulted in maximum exposure and multiple bids. In addition, they were very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Rick Wohlfarth is the consummate real estate professional. He is market savvy, results focused, respected by his peers and possesses a finely tuned understanding of a client’s needs and concerns. When my wife and I made the decision to sell our home of 35 years, a property valued in the millions, we chose Wohlfarth over the several multi-office, multi-state firms who sought us as clients. It was a wise choice.

I could not have asked for a better experience. Tammy was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of my co-op sale: pricing, presentation, showing, etc. She was always immediately responsive, and went above and beyond her role as broker with enormously helpful suggestions about an attorney and  a moving company. I was completely satisfied with the result, and would give her the highest possible recommendation.

After a disappointing experience with another broker, we listed the apartment with Wohlfarth and are very pleased with the result. Rick and Robert worked diligently and kept us informed at all times. Their marketing of the apartment ensured that it received the maximum possible exposure. Despite a slowing of the market, they were able to negotiate a sale price close to the asking, and made sure the buyers were well qualified. I would be delighted to work with them again.

Marilyn Appleberg was an invaluable help to us in getting our little studio on East 10th Street. She did everything a real estate agent can do, facilitating communication between us and the coop board, generously giving us her time, her experience, and her deep knowledge of the neighborhood.

But Marilyn is much more than a real estate agent. She’s a neighbor everybody knows, a can-do friend who organizes the annual 10th Street Fair and the summer St. Mark’s concert series, who knows the police of the 9th precinct, the ministers of local churches, the city council members and East Village organizers, plus dozens of shop owners, artists, students, and seniors

We love our diverse, lively St. Mark’s/East Village neighborhood, and Marilyn Appleberg is a major reasons why this is such a pleasant and enriching place to live.

Thanks for all your help over the years!!

As an attorney dealing with estate work, I have had several instances working with Wohlfarth & Associates. At each time I have found a remarkable combination of thorough knowledge of the market, great realism in suggesting a price and a true ‘customer service’ approach in seeing the deal through to the end. The staging of the apartments was highly tasteful and acute in bringing their visual strengths to the fore. The publicity materials the firm produced were similarly strategic, persuasive as to the high points without exaggeration. They were always available and involved all the way to closing.

John V. N. Philip, Esq.

 

Very knowledgeable about the market. Took the time to understand our needs. Very detail orientated. Worked with attorneys, insurance brokers, mortgage lenders, condominium association on a multitude of details with us to assure a successful purchase. We also later rented out the condo and got  the same knowledgeable experience, excellent service and top of the market rent.

We are so grateful for everything you did to help ensure a smooth and successful sale of our apartment. We were impressed with your ability to analyze and read the market with such precision, to negotiate with such ease, and to deliver results. But beyond all, what we valued most was your consistent straightforward and honest approach.

Thank you for all of your work on the deal – and also for “holding our hands” throughout the process. We would confidently recommend you to anyone we know looking for a broker.

Marilyn Appleberg has got to be the best rental agent in New York.  I had a three bedroom, 2 ½, bath duplex for rent on Jane Street in the West Village.  I had been getting $7600 a month.

Marilyn toured the apartment and suggested I replace the vanities in the two baths and recover a bolster in fabric of a neutral color.  Her suggestions cost less than $1000.  I had already painted and redone the floors.

Marilyn had professional color pictures taken and then composed a four paragraph description of the apartment that was designed to sell.  She priced the unit at $11,000 a month plus utilities.  She went on line with her writeup.

Within two days we had prospects viewing the apartment.  And, of course, she was there to answer any and all questions.

A day later Marilyn produced an offer to lease that met my terms from a wonderful couple.  We signed a three year lease within a week.

I only wish I had a few more apartments to turn over to Marilyn.

My wife Brett and I have had the pleasure of working with Rick Wohlfarth in a number of capacities over the years, from both the buying and selling sides.

In 2000 Rick represented the seller of the West End Ave. co-op we ultimately bought. Although he did not represent us per se, his skill and professionalism in navigating a complex process of approvals was key to buying the unit. Rick represented us directly in 2013 when we sold this West End Ave. co-op for a very fair price, and through a process that took no more than 90 days from the moment we approached him. Rick also represented us in finding and negotiating the deal for the apartment we currently and happily live in.

Rick offered his seasoned advice and input throughout a process that at times can be tiresome and confounding. He takes the time to genuinely understand his clients and their needs from the outset, eliminating a lot of potential wasted time and frustration that often seems inherent to the business otherwise. Rick’s negotiating skills are second-to-none, and we know we can always trust that he will look out for our interests before theirs or any others. Rick is courteous and dependable, and perhaps most importantly realistic and candid.

We can’t imagine being involved in a real estate transaction without Wohlfarth and Associates.

Robert went above and beyond what I was expecting from a broker. He not only hadled the sale of the apartment, he planned, designed and supervised a cost-effective renovation and staging (at no charge) that made the apartment very desirable and helped us realize a record high price and a fast sale. His marketing program, including professional photography and video, along with outreach to other brokers and skilled negotiating, resulted in maximum exposure and multiple bids. In addition, he was very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Rick Wohlfarth successfully brokered the sale of our cooperative apartment, our beloved home of 23 years, and then the purchase of a new smaller one. Both properties are in NYC. He worked tirelessly and single-mindedly on our behalf to ensure that both transactions resulted in the best outcomes for us. Throughout, Rick demonstrated high professional standards and ethics, ensuring that we were fully satisfied with both the process and the ultimate results. During the course of the two years that it took to complete these transactions, Wohlfarth and Associates remained a constant presence in our lives and deftly guided us through the sometimes rough terrain of the New York City real estate market, even when we occasionally lost stamina. Rick’s great energy and enthusiasm easily rallied us into action and kept us eternally positive. As a client, I quickly grew to trust Rick’s invaluable insights and advice. He and his staff were always available to discuss, plan, or merely listen and never swayed from their role as our advocate. They kept us focused and on track. It was a pleasure to work with them!

Rose far and above her duties. Made my experience so good I wish I had another property for her to handle. Keeping me in constant contact she competed my sale while I was in Europe.

Our family’s New York apartment had given my late husband some of his happiest moments and our happiest memories. But it was time to sell, and Wohlfarth’s pricing strategy and staging of the apartment assured us of enthusiastic bidding far above the asking price. The superb marketing and results gave my family something more than just the memories to cherish.

Thank you again for all of your help as I went through the purchasing process at 61 Jane Street.  You were fantastic!  If I am ever in need of a broker, or asked for a recommendation in the future, you’ll be the first person on my list!

Wohlfarth and Associates are true professionals and very easy to work with. They know Manhattan apartments and are always available and responsive.

Arlene Harris, Esq.

 

From staging to pricing strategy to exposure, Rick and Robert knew how to generate maximum interest, even though the apartment needed a complete renovation. I would never have imagined that it would achieve such a record high price.
