Raquel Knoell

Raquel and her husband, Tom, are a great team who helped my wife and I purchase our first home. We were under a time constraint due to our apartment lease expiring in 2 months, and they helped to advise us on many different aspects of home-buying, real estate and things to look for in narrowing down our search. I have a type-A personality, so I was very involved in the selection process of properties to see, however they were extremely accommodating and thorough in facilitating that process.They advised us on every step of the process, researched each property prior to viewing the different homes on the market and made excellent recommendations/provided invaluable insight into the homes themselves, the neighborhoods, and the home buying process itself. They were flexible, knowledgeable and persuasive and we entrusted them to recommend us a expeditious and duly-qualified mortgage and law professionals who explained and expedited the entire process. We not only made our lease expiration deadline, but we purchased our first beautiful home and conducted an independent market analysis by visiting a large number of properties during our search thanks to the flexibility and generosity of Team Knoell at Douglas Elliman! Thanks again for all of your help!
