We were introduced to Cindy by a friend who also lives in Scarsdale, and we are so grateful for that connection. As buyers coming from California, we really did not know the Scarsdale market well, and Cindy and her teammate, Lisa, were exactly the kind of agents we needed.What stood out most about Cindy was how well she listened to us. She took the time to understand our needs, our preferences, and also the way we were used to evaluating homes. She never pushed us to buy just because we liked a property. Instead, she consistently gave us thoughtful, honest advice and helped us see the bigger picture.Coming from California, we were used to newer homes and master-planned communities, so we were naturally drawn to newer properties and new construction. Cindy helped us understand that in Scarsdale, the condition of the house is only one part of the decision. When we liked a home, she would honestly assess the location, the neighborhood, and the long-term value, and she would remind us not to be distracted by the house condition alone if the location was not as desirable.She also knows the Scarsdale market extremely well. There were many bids we missed because we held firmly to our line, but Cindy stayed patient with us the entire time. She analyzed every question we had, helped us understand each situation, while Lisa kept providing all the information we need to learn about the community, and never made us feel rushed or pressured.Another thing we really appreciated was that she met us where we were. We were used to looking at price per square foot because in newer communities, homes are often easier to compare. In Scarsdale, every house is different and unique, so that metric is not always as straightforward. But Cindy still took the time to work through it with us, helped us evaluate homes in a way that made sense to us, and gradually helped us understand how to think about value in this market.In the end, when we trusted their guidance, we got our place. At the time, we were not sure whether we had gone too high, but later we learned from others who had also bid on the same home that we had gone up just enough to win without overshooting. Looking back, we feel very fortunate. Less than a year later, our home seems to have appreciated significantly, and we truly believe Cindy helped us buy at the right time and at a fair value before the recent wave of appreciation.Cindy and Lisa were both knowledgeable, honest, patient, and genuinely focused on helping their clients make the right decision. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in Scarsdale.
