Testimonials
I cannot say enough great things about Evan. He did an awesome job helping my wife and I purchase a home in Park Slope in summer 2016 and continued to be a terrific resource well after closing and our move, assisting with everything from connecting us with a dog walker, contractor, plummer and cleaning person. Evan vets all of his referred vendors closely and having him as a friend and neighbor has really been great. In fact, we were so happy with how everything went with the first deal that we immediately went to Evan again when my wife's parents decided to sell their existing apartment in NJ and purchase an apartment in Park Slope in fall/winter 2016. Evan not only helped us screen and connect with a great NJ-licensed broker for the sale and provided a sounding board whenever we needed, he also made sure every step of the ensuing purchase process went smoothly, including winning a very competitive bidding war and getting all the paperwork teed up. Evan's thorough knowledge of the market, organization and attention to detail are all noteworthy. He always knows the right questions to ask and is not shy about rolling up his sleeves to climb around a dusty boiler room or hoisting himself onto a rooftop to personally inspect and examine. My in-laws were both super impressed by Evan's combination of confidence and competence, and have also started referring to Evan and his crew as "the A Team." We're all looking forward to trying out Evan's new home concierge service in the spring. I would recommend Evan with absolutely zero hesitation.
Chris, ClientI was going to go with the neighborhood RE folks but upon the recommendation of my hair stylist I gave Evan a call. Urban Compass understands branding and sometimes you want more than just a flyer in the window. It's NY, it's that extra effort that gets you where you want to be. Evan gets that. Polished and down to earth Evan was a pleasure to work with. Insanely responsive to my texts & emails. Even our cat cooperated with Evan. We moved out of the city otherwise I would hire Evan again.
Simone, ClientEvan helped my wife and I purchase a home in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn in November 2016. I strongly recommend him if looking to purchase or sell a home. I've worked with several brokers in the past, and he's far superior. Evan's knowledge of the neighborhood, his experience in competitive situations and his steady hand throughout the process were truly exceptional. Without Evan in our corner, I strongly believe my wife and I wouldn't have prevailed in this multiple-bid situation. Evan was incredibly responsive throughout and provided remarkable guidance. Evan also introduced us to a mortgage professional, inspector and RE lawyer that were fantastic. With Evan, you get a full-range of services that are second to none
Wes, ClientEvan is truly outstanding. He walked me through the entire process of purchasing as a first time buyer navigating the insanity of New York City real estate. Evan helped set my expectations from the start, allowing me to anticipate bumps along the road. He was by my side every step of the way, answering my countless questions and providing answers to questions I hadn't even thought to ask. He connected me with all the other necessary people I needed to help get me through the closing, and even after the process was over, continued to check in to see how things were going in my new place. Evan goes above and beyond, placing his relationships with clients first. I consider myself very lucky to have had Evan Duby as my agent. I doubt there are many like him!
Alyssa, ClientEvan is the absolute best!!! My husband and I recently worked with Evan to purchase a co-op apartment in Park Slope but Evan also showed us places in Prospect Heights, South Slope and Boerum Hill. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all of these neighborhoods, extremely responsive and experienced (which turned out to be critical given how quickly this process moves) and is also just an awesome, sociable guy to grab a beer with between or after open houses. Evan's passion about the neighborhoods he works and lives in is nothing short of infectious -- the fact that someone can live in the area for so long and still be so excited about it definitely got us pumped as well! As first time homeowners, it was great to have Evan walk us through every step of an otherwise complicated process, everything from things to look for during our first open house to prepping for the co-op interview. Evan also has a wide network of trusted vendors and other service-providers so he was always ready with a recommendation when we requested one. This was particularly helpful since my husband and I are both new transplants to Brooklyn and therefore needed referrals for not only lawyers, mortgage lenders and inspectors, but also for painters, dog walkers -- you name it. Evan really made this process a breeze for us and we could not have been happier to have worked with him. It took less than two months from open house to closing and there's no way we could've gotten it done so quickly and obstacle-free without Evan's expertise and helpful guidance at each step. We'd absolutely recommend Evan to anyone looking for a seasoned, honest and motivated agent!
Jenny, ClientThe point of a good broker is not just to help you weed through the listings and identify potential homes - it's to be an ally through every stage of the process, from the search all the way through closing, and Evan epitomized that role for us when he helped my wife and I buy our first home. I entered into the enterprise with no experience and very little knowledge of how the process works, but Evan quickly educated me in every stage, from searching to strategy to financing and beyond. He is a master at breaking down a process which can easily turn convoluted into a clear and easy set of sequential stages, and identified the priorities and strategy for each. When we found our home, he knew the seller's broker and had worked with him, which helped us in negotiation. Throughout the process, Evan was able to bring his wide network to bear whenever we needed or asked for it. In our case, he was able to connect us to a home inspector, attorney, and mortgage brokers, who were all excellent. And when we were thrown the inevitable curve ball or two throughout the experience, Evan doubled as a psychologist. In many ways, we were spared much of the heartache and headache that I understand is germane to the home-buying process in Brooklyn, but I also understand that very few deals in this town are entirely straightforward, and I can't say enough about how Evan's level-headed and thoughtful approach helped guide me through what can often be a nerve-wracking experience. Aside from his impressive knowledge and experience of homes, history, and the market in the area, his interests and expertise are broad and far-flung, and it is an added bonus to have a broker that is as interested and interesting as Evan. If there were another category on Zillow for "all round great guy", I'd give another five stars.
Eli, ClientWhen we met Evan, it was a final attempt at buying a place in the city before heading to the suburbs. We had lost all hope after a year of looking and he was able to reignite our motivation and give us renewed confidence that we could find a place in Brooklyn. From the start, he knew our budget was limited and at every step of the way from the moment we met him until now, months after closing on our first home in Ridgewood/Bushwick, he has treated us like we were multimillionaire clients. He helped us pinpoint exactly what we were looking for and when we found it, he did everything he could to be sure we got what we wanted even on a small commission. His network of mortgage brokers, lawyers and other professionals are second to none and his ease of communication (immediate!) made us as first time home buyers, feel completely looked after. I think of Evan as a real estate therapist (only somewhat jokingly!) which is exactly what you need when buying or selling a home in New York City -- someone to coach you and support you through the process! You will be in the best hands with Evan! Can't recommend him enough!
