Testimonials

Quick, professional, respectful and knowledgeable, great marketing and listing. knew the area and management process. handled everything well. leased apartment in two weeks.

Lawrence was a great agent. He always worked hard and was very punctual and helpful. For example, whenever there was a delay he would followup with the seller and whenever I needed help to see the new apartment he would make himself available. A complete professional; highly recommended.

Lawrence helped me from beginning to end with my home purchase in Williamsburg and I felt 100% supported every step along the way. He was attentive, super responsive, and always went out of his way to offer his help even when I didn't expect him to. He was definitely a value add and made me feel since day 1 I was in good hands. His professionalism, experience, as well as pleasant, positive demeanor really made it an exceptional home buying experience for what would otherwise would've been a super stressful situation. He is down to earth, not pretentious, and easy to work with. He also helped me connect with experts along the way when my own attempts failed (i.e. getting a loan approved for the property I ended up falling in love with). I wouldn't have gotten my perfect condo without his help, he actually literally found it for me, none of my own self-selected properties panned out. Would highly recommend Lawrence to anyone who's looking to purchase or rent.

Lawrence is very professional and knowledgeable about the job. Truly appreciate the efforts he put in for close the apartment purchase for us. We had challenges for getting the loan from the bank. Lawrence went above and beyond to help us. With his hard work and help that enabled us to close the purchase end of this year.

Lawrence is without a doubt the best realtor we have ever worked with! His knowledge of Long Island City is extensive. He understood our needs to a tee and was able to show us places that lined up with all of our requirements. As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions. Any questions we had were answered promptly and Lawrence made himself available whenever we needed him. He checked in with us frequently to ensure the purchasing process went smoothly. Lawrence also provided great recommendations for our lawyer and loan officer. Both of which were fantastic to work with. We could not be happier with the experience we had. He consistently went above and beyond in our buying process. We would highly recommend Lawrence to anyone looking to purchase or rent in NYC.

Working with Lawrence was the best experience I could've asked for. As a first time buyer, the process went quickly and smoothly. I am grateful to have had Lawrence help me throughout the process, even post-closing to tie up loose ends. He is knowledgeable and responds to emails/texts quickly. He handled much of the communication with other parties throughout the process so there was less for me to worry about and I could trust I had someone reliable, experienced, and thorough on my side.

As first-time buyers, the whole process was really stressful, but having Lawrence on our side was a game changer. Lawrence answered promptly to all our questions with extreme patience and was able to understand all our worries. He made us see the process less complicated. Lawrence went beyond expectations and helped us in every single step coordinating with all the people involved in the process. He is a very friendly person who cares about his clients. We are deeply thankful to him for all his help, and we can confidently recommend him if you are searching for a new home. Thanks again Lawrence, working with you was a pleasure.

Lawrence is beyond professional and patience in helping my husband and I in viewing properties as well as communicating back and forth with the mortgage banks. He's extremely detailed and knowledgeable in all the real estate questions we have, simply the best realtor/friend we've worked with especially as a first time buyer, he made the impossible to possible! We are truly grateful to have Lawrence help us in finding our first home and would definitely recommend him to all our friends and families!

As first-time home buyers, New York real estate was a complete nightmare, and in our experience, we faced many obstacles that we did not expect. From unresponsive mortgage bankers to indecisive management companies, there are many difficulties that can delay your purchase, and believe me when I say that we faced, well, most of them. Cristina was the only effective part of the entire ordeal, and with her help, we completed the sale quickly. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and determined. Where the Seller's agent was a little lazy and a lot impatient, Cristina displayed cool authority and excellent composure. Cristina was receptive to our wish list and made sure to put us first by exploring listings we suggested, and after only two showings, showed us our new home. Cristina showed us this dream apartment, and when I called to tell her to put in an offer, she did so immediately. Sadly, a different offer was taken equal in value, but from a current tenant in the building. We felt low, but Cristina encouraged us to stay positive. Down on our luck, my wife and I found a listing with an agent who did not want to bring Cristina into the sale. This listing was not as appealing as the one Cristina showed us, but we were anxious. I consulted Cristina on this issue, and she graciously advised us to do what we believed was best. She was prepared to sacrifice the hard work she had done to ensure that our happiness was not impeded. The very next day, Cristina called to tell us that - against unlikely odds - the original sellers of our dream apartment had accepted our offer, all thanks to the opportunities that Cristina presented us with, and the confidence she instilled in us. We now live in a finely renovated 1-bedroom with a contemporary kitchen, plenty of storage, and a balcony inside of a building with some of the nicest neighbors and a 24-hour doorman. On top of it all, we got it at a price that we couldn't believe. We would not have been successful without Cristina Candio's diligence. We give her five stars because she earned every pointy bit of them, and we could not be more grateful. Is it weird to say that we love her? Is that weird? We love Cristina!

Cristina Candio is the best! I emailed a couple of people on various sites and she is the person that got back to me right away. She also talked to us about the neighborhood and recommended spots to eat at on the day we viewed the apartments. When we left the viewings she remained in constant with us and the building trying to get us deals and the best possible apartment she could. She also contacted us after signing the lease to see if she could help with anything else, mover recommendations, etc. Everything she did was above and beyond. She's professional, knowledgable, prompt, and so very friendly! I really liked her and think anyone else that decided to use her would too! I didn't feel pressured into anything and really felt like I was in good trustworthy hands. She just seems like a good person!
