“We really enjoyed working with Dmitry during our home search. He is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and courteous. From the very beginning, he understood exactly what we were looking for and suggested excellent properties to consider. Dmitry knows the area exceptionally well, and his insights and recommendations were invaluable throughout the process. He is also genuinely pleasant to work with, highly responsive, and always available to answer questions or provide guidance when needed. With Dmitry's help, we quickly found the perfect home. He also played a key role in negotiating a favorable price on our behalf. We are extremely pleased with the service he provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

Make your A-B-C list.
A: must-haves (bedrooms, location, size, commute). B: nice-to-haves. C: deal-breakers.

We schedule around you and tell you honestly what we see at every house.
- 04

We're there with you.
Buying in New Jersey vs. New York
New Jersey
Once the contract is signed, it goes through an attorney review period before it becomes final. Property taxes vary a lot from town to town, so we compare them early. Inspections usually happen during the contract period.
New York
Attorneys for both sides draft and negotiate the contract. Buying a co-op means applying to the building's board, which takes its own time. Before we show you property, please read our Standardized Operating Procedure (RPL §442-H).
Read the SOPFirst-time buyers
If this is your first purchase, you'll get a patient walk-through of every step, from how mortgage approval works to what to look for in a house you'll own rather than rent. Several of our reviews come from first-time buyers.
“We had no prior experience with mortgages, and Dmitry explained all steps of the process and was available throughout our work with the bank.” (nikolay burt · Bought a single-family home in Livingston, NJ · 2020)
New construction and pre-construction
Buying from a builder is a different negotiation: the contract, the upgrades, the timeline and what happens if it slips. We've represented buyers in pre-construction purchases in Livingston. And yes, you still want an independent inspection on a brand-new home. New construction →

What buyers say
Read all 43 reviews“Dmitry went above and beyond with our purchase. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent that was professional and caring. He was knowledgeable and supportive with our demands as we looked for homes. He was able to find us our dream home but his work didn’t stop there. From helping us to negotiate the price to looking over the final inspection items, he was there every step of the way working through it, and ensuring that things were getting done. Dmitry was there at our final walk-through supporting us as his clients and more! I am extremely happy to have worked with him and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I continue to recommend Dimitri to all of our friends and family as an agent who exerts professionalism and trust!”
“Dmitry was a pleasure to work with. He was exceptionally professional and understanding throughout the entire process. We saw many homes and Dmitry was excellent in identifying right away something he knew we would love as opposed to something we would say no to right away. He used his expertise to find us homes that stood out and listened to our needs and wants carefully. For example he very quickly learned that I preferred homes that had walls painted in light colors and that one non negotiable was an open floor plan. He answered all our questions in a timely manner. He is a genuine person who knows his craft well. It truly was a pleasure to work with him.”
“Highly recommend Dmitry! He has been an invaluable resource in our home purchase. Always available, patient, prompt, had answers to all of our questions, great advice on local schools etc. Additionally, he was instrumental in convincing the seller to fix certain issues. Overall, we are super grateful for all of his help!”
“Excellent service, very professional, understands customer needs very quickly! We met Dmitry on day 1 and after seeing only a few properties he understood exactly what we wanted and suggested to take a look at the house that we decided to buy on the same day (it wasn't even on our list)! Not only he walked us through the process of purchasing our first home, but was there with us every step and gave us a lot of good tips and advice! Definitely made our experience of purchasing a home a pleasant one! Dmitriy is very friendly, easy going, great to work with! Thank you! Will definitely recommend to a friend!”
“Dmitry did a great job assisting us buying our home. He was very responsive, professional and knowledgeable all around the area and towns around. Dmitry was involved in all aspects of closing process and helped us with every aspect needed. Very much recommended!”
It depends on your income, debts and down payment, and only a lender can give you an accurate number. Talk to a mortgage broker first: you'll know your range, you can start gathering documents, and you'll have a pre-approval letter ready when the right house comes up. We can introduce you to lenders we've worked with.
Get pre-approved and make your A-B-C list: must-haves, nice-to-haves, deal-breakers. Then call us and we'll set up the search and the first tours.
Mostly it depends on loan approval and the appraisal, and in New York on the attorneys and, for co-ops, the board. Stay in close touch with us and your lender to keep things moving.
After you sign, the contract goes through an attorney review period before it's final. Property taxes vary widely between towns, so we compare them before you fall for a house. Inspections usually happen during the contract period.
Attorneys for both sides draft and negotiate the contract. In a co-op you're buying shares and must be approved by the board, which reviews your finances and often interviews you. Condos and houses skip the board. Before we show you property, read our Standardized Operating Procedure.
Some buyers know at the first house; others see twenty. A clear A-B-C list and honest feedback after each tour shorten the search.
No one can predict appreciation, but comparing the house with recent sales nearby tells you whether the price is fair today. We pull those numbers and explain them before you make an offer.
Yes, new construction included. An inspection doesn't have to end a deal, but you should know what you're buying and what to negotiate.
Yes. Dmitry is a licensed New York broker and serves buyers and sellers in Manhattan, as well as in Brooklyn and on Staten Island.
