Testimonials

"It took us over two years to find a house in this tough and uncertain housing market and there are absolutely no words to describe how helpful Yulka was throughout this whole process. Yulka is one of those few agents who really cares about finding a perfect home for her clients regardless of how much time it takes. We never felt any pressure from Yulka. As a matter of fact, in a few cases when we got tired from looking and were ready to just settle on a house, Yulka was the one who kept telling us to not give up and keep looking for that perfect one. Yulka is extremely professional and her integrity really shines through everything she does (starting from her patience and always being on time to never pushing her customers’ over their comfort spending zone and always truly looking out for their interests). It’s not every day you can meet a person in this field who you can really trust and who truly cares. To her it’s not about closing about closing a transaction and moving on to the next one, it’s about really working with people, truly understanding their criteria and finding just what they want. It was a great pleasure working with Yulka over such a long period of time and I am confident that it would not have been the same without her". - Irina and Yura Feygin

"The fact that I'm selecting the same Realtor for the 3rd time within the last six years while buying and selling properties is the best proof of her knowledge, professionalism, honesty and desire to find the best possible property and help you to get it for the best price." - Alex Rosenfeld

"There are several moments in a person's life which are not only defining but also so incredibly overwhelming that it becomes difficult to make objective decisions. Buying a house is one of those times. My situation was compounded by the fact that I wanted to use two government financial assistance programs to purchase the property and the fact that the property was a short sale. Suddenly the miles of red tape put forth by the banks were dwarfed by the bureaucracy of both state and federal programs. The hundreds of forms and thousands of questions threatened to drown me in a maze of legalese. Yet somehow I made it out alright. I ended up buying a beautiful property and got a great deal. My good fortune I completely blame on Yulka Markevich. Her intuitive and logical understanding of the market made it possible to haggle with a bank committee based some 3000 miles away. Her attention to detail ensured that the deal went smoothly and that both my lawyer and my mortgage broker were always aware of their responsibilities. Her dedication to my venture took us through virtually every neighborhood in Stamford until the right opportunity presented itself." - Oleg Iogman

"This was our first time home buying experience and it turned to be smooth and easy. Yulka found a perfect home for us at the right price. She was always available when we had questions or concerns. Yulka provided us with necessary contacts and recommendations. She guided us through every step of finding and buying our home. She helped us to make necessary renovations before we moved in. We highly recommend Yulka as a professional real estate agent and would choose her again as our real estate agent." -Aleksey Zemlevskiy & Aleksandra Zemlevskaya.
