Working with Terrace Sotheby’s was one of the best decisions my family and I ever made. They were nothing but professional, responsive and were able to sell our house timely and for a great price! Sebastian and Dolores are the best. I would definitely work with them again.

My daughter and I worked with Dolores for a couple of months to purchase an apartment. She made it such a pleasure even in this difficult time of COVID-19 Pandemic. Dolores made us so happy to find the right apartment for us! Dolores was so helpful and so personable! We felt like she was our relative who wanted the best for us through this whole process! Thank you Dolores!

I have worked with a few different real estate agencies in the past, but Terrace Sotheby’s International Realty has given me the best experience by far. This realty agency in particular is very clear and thorough. They also have a wide variety of inventory which is amazing. I would definitely recommend anyone to this location.

This is from another reviewer:'Avoided answering simple questions about the property via email then never showed up for our appointment'Mine is a similar experience.Jess Cardona made an appointment with me to show me an apartment 4/17. I show up to the unit in Forest Hills. There is another person there to see the unit as well. She's not there. I text her and ask if she is on her way. She say's 'Yes'. Three minutes later she text's me and say 'Sorry I don't have the keys'. 'Someone too it' (yes, that's her spelling). With no explanation, that's it. So I call her and she says someone took the keys and has no idea who took it. Completely irresponsible with no accountability. So she told me 'maybe tomorrow'. I text her on Monday asking if we can see it. She says 'Too early to tell have to speak to the owner'. She text's me later on the day and says 'Hi is tomorrow after food for yoy? (again, this is her spelling).I told her 5:30 will work for me. She said 'ok'. I confirmed with her in the morning and she said 'ok'. I re confirmed at 2:30 and she said 'Hi there is an application on it'. Again, that's it, no explanation. I'm sure the apartment was given to the other person who was there with me.She said I can still see it if I want to. What's the point! She said she has no control over who shows it. That may be true, but YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU MAKE AN APPOITMENT TO SHOW SOMEONE AN APARTMENT, YOU HAVE THE KEYS CHECKED OUT TO YOU!Absolutely no accountability!
