Selling a house can be a daunting task under normal conditions, but when you don't reside in the area and you must deal with the laws, rules, and regulations of NYC, it can be overwhelming. Choosing the right broker is the most important step in the process. When I decided to sell our family's Brownstone in Brooklyn, I contacted several realtors (Gabe was one of them). I was impressed with how prepared he was and the plan he would use to proceed in the selling process. He was extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in New York City. He explained his selling history and reviewed other properties he had sold in the area. He did not pressure me into a contract knowing I would be interviewing other realtors.

Selling a house can be a daunting task under normal conditions, but when you don't reside in the area and you must deal with the laws, rules, and regulations of NYC, it can be overwhelming. Choosing the right broker is the most important step in the process. When I decided to sell our family's Brownstone in Brooklyn, I contacted several realtors (Gabe was one of them). I was impressed with how prepared he was and the plan he would use to proceed in the selling process. He was extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in New York City. He explained his selling history and reviewed other properties he had sold in the area. He did not pressure me into a contract knowing I would be interviewing other realtors. After interviewing the others, I knew that Gabe would be the most efficient and work for me, keeping my best interest in mind. Every detail of the contract was discussed and mutually agreed upon. He was instrumental in keeping my tenants informed of showings so as not to inconvenience them. Within a short period of time, I had a buyer. Gabe dealt with the negotiations and the specifics of the contract before involving my lawyers. I was very satisfied with the entire procedure and the outcome. Besides Gabe's charisma, efficiency, diligence, and knowledge of his craft, he was always available and accessible. Whenever I had a concern or a question I could text or call him and he set out to find the answer or intervene with whomever, on my behalf. I know I made the right decision in securing Gabe Kates as my realtor and cannot say enough positive things about him. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering selling their house. I give him 100% support as a real estate broker.
From the moment we decided to work with Gabe, he hit the ground running. He found a buyer in a short period of time and at the right price. At every pivotal point, his professionalism was beyond reproach and his completion of every detail and positive attitude was simple amazing. That is why the sale went so smoothly and without a problem. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Gabe to anyone interested in selling their property.
We had the greatest experience with Gabe. He definitely had our best interest at heart. Throughout the entire process he was there for us and delivered. We got a great price for the building. He made the entire process so easy and after he was so thoughtful and had a wonderful picture of the building commissioned for us to remember our life in Brooklyn.
We were thinking of holding off on the sale of our brownstone because interest rates were on the rise. Sean was able to find us an all-cash buyer who was able to close within 30 days. Sean was extremely professional and showed he could solve any problems, including title issues, that came up during the time the property went under contract until it closed. I highly recommend working with Sean.
