Testimonials

“Working with Jay Glazer and his amazing team for our most recent sale/purchase was the easiest decision we made! We worked with Jay previously appx 5 years ago to purchase our 1 bedroom and knew without a doubt we would be working with him again. We always appreciate his thoughtful, candid approach to both selling & purchasing. This time around was particularly complicated as we were preparing to list our apartment when I was 9 months pregnant, and listed it on the market 1 month postpartum. I cannot thank Jay’s team enough for how thoughtful they were with us when scheduling open houses, showings, viewings. Always prioritizing our schedule, consolidating viewings together, and going above and beyond to make a hectic process with a newborn much more manageable. They were excellent at communicating with us and understanding our needs. I was preparing for multiple weeks of open houses & showings, and we had an excellent offer with multiple backups after only 1 week on the market and 1 open house. The search for our new home occurred in tandem with our sale, and Jay and his team put just as much consideration into this aspect as well. We always appreciated that they would think ahead, present us with new ideas and properties, and ultimately helped us find a new home that’s perfect for our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Jay and his team. We really trust his opinion & advice, and at the end of the day, that is what matters most.”

“Jay and his team are our trusted partners in real estate, so we didn't even look at other brokers when it came time to sell our apartment and buy a new one. They are ultra-responsive, patient & honest, understanding of our needs, and knowledgeable of the buying/selling dynamics of our marketplace (Brooklyn). I would absolutely recommend Jay and his team for any transaction.”

“Jay and Talia are simply amazing. My husband and I could not imagine using anyone else to help us sell our home in NYC (or buy a new one) ever again. We started off with a different broker, and despite our home being a unique and quality product, there was no care put into the work done by the first broker we used before turning to The Glazer Team for guidance. Once Jay and Talia came into the picture, the difference was quickly perceptible. Their professional, thoughtful and truly creative approach was exactly what we needed to guide us through the stressful steps of selling our home. They are not only knowledgeable and dedicated brokers, but interior designers, therapists, and friends. The keen advice and expertise we received from Jay and Talia was spot on and anyone to whom we have shown our listing was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail that went into staging, into the incredibly executed video, and into the overall level of quality of their work. The process was quick, seamless, and incredibly professional. We felt so lucky to have the guidance of such a professional team and the pleasure of working with such quality people!”

“My wife and I were referred to Jay and team through a mutual friend who had nothing but overwhelmingly positive things to say! We recently closed on a home in southern Brooklyn and the process could not have gone more smoothly. Not only were Jay and his team responsive, professional, and easy-going, they provided a ton of value from beginning to end from the minutiae of renovations to the nuances of legal contracts. We had a pretty narrow set of criteria but Jay worked with us tirelessly to find our dream home. We were impressed with his encyclopedic knowledge of all things New York City real estate. The best part: when Jay challenged us to go outside our comfort zone, he did so with humility and grace. We 100% trusted Jay Glazer to shepherd us through this process. We will undoubtedly be sending more folks to the Glazer team after such a positive experience. Thank you Glazer crew!”

“Jay and the team were absolutely amazing. They were incredibly professional, from the start Jay knew the current state of the market, told us what we needed to do and set the price almost spot on. We were in contract within 30 days of listing in a COVID environment and the process could not have been easier, even with our family now living in London. The team was on top of the few small issues that came up from signing to closing and in general made the process very easy for us. Jay helped us find our place initially and there was no other broker I would have gone to, to help us sell. He and his team proved to be the right choice, I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in NYC.”

Jay Glazer and his team are very responsive and thoughtful. They worked tirelessly to find and help close on our dream apartment. I'd highly recommend them for Manhattan & Brooklyn.

“We chose The Glazer Team after having our apartment on the market Pre-covid with two other agencies. Ours was an atypical apartment for the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which presented marketing challenges for agents with less experience and creativity. Jay and his team embraced its unique features. This was reflected in the optimism of his team and in the interest generated. We especially appreciated the insight and clarity when communicating options to us for making decisions about staging, pricing, and marketing. Their creative approach to selling led to a serious offer and sale in less than eight weeks. We worked with five different real estate companies in various capacities in our ten years in NY. The Glazer Team is by far the best. ”

“When we started to explore buying our next apartment in Manhattan Jay was the first call we made. We leveraged Jay’s network to build a great transaction team. Jay had recent personal experience with our prospective building and his knowledge was instrumental in making sure we were getting great value for our purchase. Not to mention, he was able to appropriately guide us through the board approval process. Our home purchase was pretty easy and stress-free and we have Jay to thank for all his help to make that the case. Jay once again proved to be a great real estate agent, a great guy, and a great friend. Give him a call.”

“Jay Glazer and his team are absolute masters of the real estate craft. We met nearly 5 years ago and Jay has sold homes for my clients with grace, and speed, and for top dollar. His support staff are communicative and his marketing is on point. His dance moves need tweaking but we won’t hold that against him :)”

“Jay and his team were a pleasure to work with in listing and selling our Greenwich Village NYC apartment. They are energetic, creative, extremely responsive, and thoughtful in their approach. We felt that we were in good hands throughout the experience. I would highly recommend their team to anyone considering listing their home in the NY area.”

“Jay and his team walked us through the entire home buying process from inception to close. They were extremely comprehensive and responsive and fun to work with. Jay made the byzantine process of purchasing a co-op in Manhattan seem simple and he put us in touch with the right attorney and lender to make sure everything moved as swiftly as possible. The Glazer Team helped us find our dream apartment and stuck with us throughout this exceedingly difficult time. I recommend them with the highest regard.”

“Jay and his team were great to work with (s/o to Jason and the rest of the Glazer Team). They worked diligently and effectively to help 3 first time homebuyers with unique circumstances find exactly what they were looking for. I would recommend Jay and team to anyone who wants to cut through the bs and work efficiently. Jay really cares, which comes through in working with him and his team, they are willing to go the extra mile to make sure their clients’ are happy customers. We look forward to working with Jay in the future and appreciate his friendship!”

“My partner and I have known Jay for a few years now. In our years as homeowners in New York City, we have yet to come across another agent like Jay (and his team). Many claim to know this city and the market, but as a native New Yorker, Jay genuinely does. His straight shooting, light hearted approach is exactly what you need when looking for an advisor in the mayhem that is New York real estate. You can keep all your Bravo stars, all we needed to find, rent and sell our home was the Glazer team. The most important thing I can say is that no client is too small for Jay. We’ve grown from an entry level home with Jay and have received the same meticulous service since the beginning. We’d recommend Jay to anyone and everyone looking for a home in this great city.”

“Jay is literally the greatest broker out there! Jay and the rest of the Glazer Team are on a completely different level than every other NYC real estate broker! Having worked with them to buy our first apartment, my wife and I now joke about how crazy it is that people use mediocre brokers when for the same price you can have someone like Jay. The Glazer team made the entire buying process a pleasure. Jay has an encyclopedic knowledge of New York real estate. He literally has memorized the nuances of every single building in Manhattan and within each, their little quirks. When we started our process, I sent Jay a long list of street easy apartments that I thought we might like. Within minutes he explained tiny nuances of each unit and why some were good and some were not so. Once he quickly understood our tastes, he only showed us apartments that we loved, and ultimately, our new apartment. The value of working with someone like Jay really kicked in once we got a little closer to the close. After we selected our future home, he thoughtfully helped us craft our co-op package, knowing exactly what they like (and don’t like) to see. From there, he introduced us to great potential lenders, lawyers, inspectors, everything. Everyone who he recommended were top notch. I wouldn’t rent, buy or sell an apartment in New York without his help. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.”

“I had an excellent experience with Jay, Scott and the rest of The Glazer Team in purchasing my first apartment in NYC. I was referred to Jay by a friend and would absolutely recommend him to friends and family looking in NYC. The team was professional, knowledgeable, very accessible but NEVER pushy. As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous to begin the process, but Jay sat down with me and educated me on the entire process. We discussed my needs vs wants, my price range, location, etc. which helped us to narrow my search. We went to several open houses, and I always felt knowledgeable and confident in my decisions being with Jay. He would breakdown each apartment with me to understand/uncover potential issues, pros and cons. Once we found the right apartment, Jay was instrumental in negotiating the price and working with the seller’s broker. He was always transparent with me. When it was time to close, The Glazer Team helped put together the co-op package (which is VERY extensive) and referred me to several potential lawyers, lenders, architects, etc. to help wrap up the process. The key is Jay was never pushy. He wanted me to make knowledgeable decisions without pressure and always made himself available if I had any questions or wanted to discuss. I’d give Jay more than five stars if possible and will happily be back with the Glazer Team if another opportunity presents itself!”

“After trying my hand with another agent team and then on my own as a for sale by owner (FSBO), I was contacted by The Glazer Team who had another listing in the area. Being a for sale by owner, lots of agents contacted me to get the listing. But one thing that stood out with the Glazer Team is that through their independent comps analysis they actually suggested I RAISE my price. And after talking with Jay Glazer, I enlisted the team and that’s what we did. Jay ended up securing a buyer before the pandemic hit. But the contract negotiations started right when it hit and we were stalled for over 8 weeks. Jay hung with it and me, however. He constantly assured me the sale was getting done and low and behold, after quarantine ended, the contract got signed and we closed soon thereafter. Jay recommended I stage the apartment which surely helped with the marketing – we stood out above other listings. I am confident that if you elected to list your home with The Glazer Team you are getting a professional, caring, and determined team that is committed to getting your home sold. I highly recommend them!”

“I’ve now worked with Jay and his team for three separate closings (a previous purchase a few years ago, and just recently, a sale and purchase) and could not recommend them highly enough. Jay, Scott, and the whole team are total professionals and a complete pleasure to work with. I always felt in very good hands through every step of the process. One of the things I value most is their attention to detail and willingness to be available to address any problems, large or small, whenever they arise. They did a fabulous job with the sale—my friends and family were all very impressed at the excellent listing they created, and how quickly we were able to get interest on the apartment—and then they did an expert job in helping sort out the details of my new purchase. I would recommend The Glazer Team to anyone and hope to work with them again.”

“As a first-time homebuyer in New York City, my goal was to break away from the rental gods that continued to leave me with no equity and an empty wallet. At first, I proceeded on my own scouring the web weekly piecing together open house schedules. Coming up very dry and having no idea of what I really wanted, I turned to a friend’s recommended realtor - The Glazer Team! While I thought I was providing a ‘wish-list’, I really had very conflicting ideas stating I’d be happy in walk-up or doorman building, and could live in the east village or upper west side. Jay immediately began asking the right questions helping to define what really made sense for my lifestyle. Jay’s team goes above and beyond communicating what is available, accommodates viewings (even at odd hours for those that work late!), and showed me properties to compare my likes and dislikes. Jay’s team is phenomenal at timely communication and makes the search process fun as a first-time homebuyer. Once I arrived at what I was looking for and completed negotiations, I turned to Jay and said, ‘now what?’. Without Jay’s team I absolutely would not have survived the closing process. Walking me through step by step always ahead of schedule helped me to remain calm and trust the very lengthy and time consuming NYC co-op routine. As I hit several hiccups, Jay was able to take care of these on my behalf in a professional and timely manner. Additionally, I opted to buy an apartment requiring major renovation. Jay got me off the ground to understand the renovation process and I continue to consult him regularly even though I have closed. Jay – thank you for answering my countless phone calls, worried emails, and naïve first time homebuyer questions. You certainly set me up for success and words cannot describe how grateful I am for making me feel like your one and only client throughout the entire buying cycle. I will absolutely recommend you in the future and you will be first people I call when I opt to sell and upgrade to another NYC apartment!”

“Jay and his entire team are professional, very knowledgeable, and completely accessible which are the qualities you need in a fast-paced market. I have worked with many real estate agents over the years and I have never worked with a better team. I highly recommend Jay and his team to anyone looking for a real estate agent. If I could give him ten stars I would. Thank you Jay and The Glazer Team.”

“Jay demonstrated unfailing energy, a thorough knowledge of the market, a sound grasp for negotiating, and a sensitive ability to coach and educate rather than to force the process.”

“Jay is fantastic - responsive 7 days a week, very knowledgeable and helpful. His team was also great to work with! I would recommend Jay to anyone in NYC looking for a great agent.”

“While I have real estate experience, my wife and I were totally new to Manhattan. We feel as though we completely lucked out when one of our Maryland realtors networked and connected us with Jay Glazer. Jay more than exceeded our expectations. He educated us on the marketplace, condos versus co-ops, and safe land leases versus unsafe ones. He was very attentive and patient while we looked at too many units to remember, while also our wants, needs and even budget changed. Throughout the total process, Jay was always available, responsive, timely and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable for us. The unit Jay ultimately landed for us was the pied-a-terre of our dreams, at a deal better than we had anticipated. Experience, hustle and the right personality make for a great realtor and I would highly recommend Jay Glazer and his team to anyone.”

“If I could give 100 stars, I would. Jay and his team provided me with unparalleled service. As a first time home buyer, I was very new and unfamiliar with essentially every part of the NYC real estate transaction process. Jay walked me through the entire process with patience, diligence and compassion for my anxieties as a first-time home buyer. Jay is an immense source of knowledge on the real estate market in NYC and his expertise is clear in every step of the process. I actually met Jay over four years ago when I was just starting to stabilize myself financially and curious about the NYC real estate market. He offered to meet and discuss the topic with me and see some apartments, which we did one afternoon. From that point, it took me four years to be in the financial position to actually buy something that made sense, but during all that time he was a resource for me to learn and see. When it came time to actually buy, he was able to provide guidance without ever pushing me, but I was still able to lean on him to help me make smart choices. In my particular case, negotiations were drawn out as was the entire contract/closing period due to some unforeseen complications, but Jay guided me through it and ultimately I got exactly what I wanted, where I wanted, at the price I wanted (I’m elated!). Jay really goes above and beyond for his clients—making each of us feel like we are his top priority. Can’t recommend him enough!”

“After trying to sell our apartment by owner and realizing that this was not going to be possible in NYC, we interviewed six different realtors and teams and we chose Jay & The Glazer Team and could not have been happier with our choice. In fact, it took all the stress completely away. We are very private people and Jay, Scott, & Elia respected our requests for showing the apartment and did not make us feel that any of these requests were frivolous; this was super important to us. They are professional yet very easy going and personable. They understood the nuances of our apartment and knew exactly how to and who to promote the listing. We were thrilled that because of them we received three offers and went into contract in less than 35 days! We appreciated their knowledge and patience during the negotiation period and they worked hard to achieve the selling price we hoped for without being pushy. Plus, they are also really nice guys!”

“The Glazer Team had sold several apartments in our building and after speaking with the sellers it was clear they all had a high degree of satisfaction (including getting higher than initially expected prices for their apartments). We decided to give him a try after the glowing reviews and were not disappointed. Jay was a true partner—it felt like he was always looking out for our best interests. He brought a tremendous amount of creativity to the process as well, including videos and alternative advertising, that differentiated our sale from others on the market. His attention to detail, responsiveness, market & neighborhood knowledge were all top-notch. At the end of the first week, we had a signed contract (in a softening market) which was the true test for us. We have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. Having worked with several other brokers in the past - mostly frustratingly so - we think Jay and his team are unmatched.”

“This is my second real estate transaction with Jay and his team, which speaks volume in a city like New York! I initially chose Jay to be my broker over 2 years ago after seeing how well he conducted an open house at a listing I was interested in. After a previous successful purchase 2 years ago, when it was time to move on to the next endeavor, Jay helped me sell my apartment off market and find a new place in Brooklyn. This time around, there were a few bumps along the way, but Jay was always available, stayed on top of things, and helped deal with each situation as it arose. The thing I appreciate about working with Jay is his honesty and communication. You always feel like he’s telling you his honest opinion, good or bad, and that he has your best interest in mind. He always answered my calls/text/emails regardless of time of day, day of the week, no matter what the topic, the dialogue was always there and that transparency goes a long way. I would (and have already) recommend Jay and his team to friends and family. Real estate in NYC is tricky, and you really need someone who not only knows what they’re doing but also someone who you can trust.”

“Jay Glazer is the best broker you could imagine. He handled every step of the process with ease, a sense of humor, and excellence. He’s the real deal - not someone doing this as a day job.”

“The perfect balance of New York original mixed with old school New York soul. Jay knows how to get deals done in NYC with alacrity, creativity, good humor, genuine care, and most importantly, integrity. Whether it’s a first-time buyer or a seasoned New York real estate vet, you would be hard-pressed to find a better guide through an NYC real estate transaction than Jay Glazer. A client first, day and night, can-do spirit, and hey, his glasses are pretty cool too! What more can you ask for in your Broker! ”

“A couple of years ago, I had a fortuitous encounter with Jay at one of his listed properties in West Village (which rivals his sartorial taste) and was impressed by his intimate knowledge of New York City real estate market which can be quite tricky to figure out. During the following years, we performed due diligence on countless properties but Jay was quite happy to come along in this long, protracted journey of looking for the right home. Then we finally found THE apartment and it was during the period of negotiation to closing when I realized how important it is to use an experienced broker with substance like Jay and associate Scott, who really went above and beyond. They answered my texts and phone calls 24/7 and responded positively to all my frustrations along the process like pros with a focus. I would highly recommend Jay’s Team. Do not ever try to go through the process on your own unless your day time job is to buy an apartment. Even then, it’s not worth it.”

“The Glazer Team had sold several apartments in our building and after speaking with the sellers it was clear they all had a high degree of satisfaction (including getting higher than initially expected prices for their apartments).

Having worked with several other brokers in the past - mostly frustratingly so - we think Jay and his team is unmatched.”

“As a first-time home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for someone better than Jay to help me through this process. From our first conversation I felt like he only had my best interests in mind and I really felt at ease from beginning to end. Jay was extremely responsive and I felt he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and comfortable with every decision. When I was away on vacation he went to an open house for me and FaceTimed me just so I could get a glimpse of an apartment I really wanted to see! I can’t say enough about Jay and his team. I hope some of my friends and family want to buy an apartment in New York soon so they can work with Jay and have the same amazing experience I had.”

“Jay Glazer helped me purchase my first home in New York. We decided to work with Jay because he showed deep knowledge of the market, was extremely patient with us as first-time buyers, and, most importantly, wasn’t trying to make ANY deal happen—he waited with us for the RIGHT deal. Not only was he a great agent, but also, he was a fantastic coach through the complicated process of purchasing an apartment in New York. Jay is extremely responsive and will make himself (or a member of his team) available for anything. We went out on countless open houses with them. That was helpful as Jay’s team was able to synthesize our feedback and views on all properties. I would definitely recommend Jay and his team to my friends and family. He made the purchasing experience interesting, enjoyable, and stress-free. I am glad we found Jay and will absolutely work with him again.”

“Jay was recommended to me by a colleague. Jay and his team are very responsive. He took the time to listen to my needs and wants and helped me narrow down the possibilities. Jay and his team are super knowledgeable about the market and the neighborhoods I was interested in. Jay’s team was very organized with appointments and showings making for a very enjoyable search process. I would highly recommend Jay and his team to anyone looking for real estate in NYC.”

“This is the second time that we’ve used Jay and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the results in both instances! When we first bought an apartment 4 years ago, Jay’s knowledge of various neighborhoods, as well as first hand experience in dealing with many of the buildings, was invaluable. He helped us navigate the ins and outs of purchasing a co-op, planning renovations, and overall just made the process much less stressful than we had anticipated. Flash forward to selling another apartment this year - Jay’s staging, pricing and negotiating led to a sale that we were thrilled with, to say the least. Long story short - whether you’re buying or selling, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated or knowledgeable team than Jay’s!”
