Testimonials

Seller

My husband and I selected Kyung over another realtor based on her professionalism, comprehensive knowledge of the local market and her determination to help us sell our house for an appropriate price. She guided us through the entire process, from staging our home and listing it, to preparation for showings and negotiating with potential buyers. We wound up with several offers and Kyung was a powerful and confident negotiator. We would have no hesitation about referring her to anyone in the Hartsdale, NY vicinity who is either selling or buying a home. She's tops for a reason: she knows her stuff, has superb follow-through, is great with details and is highly organized

Seller and Buyer

I, as a retail real estate investor, am so delighted to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Mrs.  Kyung  Scalia. After first property was sold, I decided to hire her for all of my real estate transactions in the future. Why? She is a real talented and tenacious professional agent with a desire to help people, honesty, responsibility, perfection in detail, enthusiasm for real estate, strong energy and drive, winning personality and good local knowledge. She is aggressive yet has polite attitude, flair and good and woks hard from the beginning to the end. She also possesses a good knowledge of technologies. As far as real estate business is concerned, she is my first call.

Buyer

I would strongly recommend Kyung to any one wishing to buy or sell a home. Kyung is the perfect real estate partner one can wish for. She helped us buy our home which we love living in. Kyung’s vast experience as a realtor helped us find the right home in the neighborhood of our choice. She was astute in understanding our needs and ability (read “budget”). Of all the homes she showed us our current home was the one where she walked in and said “This is the home for you”. In my experience I felt she did not get us just “any home” but “the home that fit”. Kyung was also very helpful with a plethora of suggestions and contacts to inspect the house, understand code violations, advisors for regularizing violations, paint/ fix he house before we moved in. Best of all, she understands that we need to work within a budget and advises us on strategies on this front. Highly recommend her !

Kyung, you exceeded my expectations in every respect and in every step of the process. From our first contact, you were prompt in your response, and knowledgeable about the market generally and specifically in my development. You provided helpful tips for getting my place ready to show, and you did so pleasantly and encouragingly. You and your photographer did a great job in helping us present my unit in the best possible way, while fairly representing the look and feel of the space and light. And, most importantly, you promised me interested buyers and then you delivered them, all within a matter of days. Ultimately, you helped me price my unit just right, as evidenced by multiple bids and a timely closing. All in all, I think you deserve your reputation as a leading realtor in Westchester County.

Kyung was indispensable. With her deep knowledge of real estate in the area and her attentiveness to our needs, she helped us close on the perfect home in an extremely competitive bidding situation. She also continued to offer her help and experience long after we had moved in.

Kyung sets a drastic distinction in real estate agents we had the pleasure to work with.  She has deep understanding about the pros and cons of each house, and presents them truthfully for our benefit.  We are paranoid by nature and by experience, but we find ourselves trusting Kyung with no reservations.
