My experience with agent Ismail Kolya was extremely excellent, he was very professional and always there for you, fast moving with any questions or any help I need. If I have to do again that's the place will go, well recommend.
We had a great experience with Ish and Rochelly! They were attentive to our needs as first time home buyers, curating listings for us to see. They made themselves available to show us properties around our work schedules, and made the experience so easy. Their knowledge of the local market was invaluable, and they patiently explained every step of the home-buying process to us. Not only were they professional and responsive, but they also went above and beyond by pointing out potential issues in properties that we might have missed on our own. During negotiations, they advocated strongly for our interests and helped us secure a fair price. Even after closing, they followed up to ensure everything was going smoothly in our new home. I would highly recommend Ish and Rochelly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!
I’ll be the first to tell you — I didn’t really want to use a realtor. I didn’t use one when I bought my home, so I figured, why use one to sell? But buying or selling a home isn’t just a big financial decision — it’s one of the most emotionally stressful ones too. That’s exactly why my wife and I chose to work with a realtor this time. I’ve known Ish for about four years. So when it came time to sell our home in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx, selecting him as our realtor was a no-brainer. Selling a home in NYC is rarely simple — and ours wasn’t. From pre-appraisals and legal complexities to mortgage timelines and unpredictably random buyer requests, the process had its share of moving parts. But through it all, Ish and Cassandra remained calm, strategic, and relentless in protecting our interests. They helped us evaluate every offer not just on price, but on structure, timing, and risk — which mattered because my wife, a schoolteacher, needed a closing that aligned with the end of the academic year. Ish and Cassandra coordinated seamlessly with our attorney, broke down confusing documents clearly, and guided us through each decision with both urgency and patience. We received a strong offer within 24 hours of our first open house and closed right on schedule — with no major snags. If you’re looking for a real estate team that combines professionalism, integrity, and deep knowledge of the NYC market, Ish and his team are it. They’ll advocate for you like family, and make sure your home sale isn’t just successful, but sane. We’re beyond grateful to have had them by our side.
Ish helped us sell our parents’ home and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. He was incredibly hands-on—guiding us through every step, answering questions, and keeping things moving. He really knows the NYC / upstate NY market and got us the price we were hoping for. We felt well taken care of the whole way through. Highly recommend working with him.
Ismail is great Agent. He’s highly knowledgeable about the market and trends. He makes each step of the buying process simple and very easy to navigate. Holds your hand through the entire process and helps guide you make the best decisions for you. Highly recommend.
Very professional and honest Very much interested to do more business Thanks Ishmael
