“The Anwar team is the best! I’ve worked with Shimaa on multiple real estate deals and she always does the best for me. I highly recommend her and her team of professionals.”
“Esraa and Shimaa are amazing real estate agents that always made me feel secure and in-the-loop during my condo purchase. The team put me in touch with a great attorney and are very knowledgeable about the NYC real estate and lender market. They were always on top of things in the discovery and closing processes. You won’t regret choosing the Anwar team as your agent!”
“By far and beyond, the Anwar Team has been the greatest to work with, but most importantly they fight for your best interests, advocate, and guide you through every moment of the process. The amount of gratitude I will always have for them, I cannot put in enough words here or thanks to give. They worked with me for several months to close a very complicated deal, in spite of the uncontrollable challenges throughout the process, they made sure to never to drop the ball, continued to work hard, provided the best referrals for every person I would need involved throughout the process which provided the absolute best team and experience I could have all the way to the closing table. I thank them a million times over and over for making what was almost impossible, Absolutely possible! I know that over the last few years of me studying the market as a first time home buyer, and other agents I've come across over time, would not have put in the energy and work they did to make this happen. Thank you Sheema and Esraa for absolutely everything and always!”
“I highly recommend Esraa and Shimaa in the Anwar Group at Compass. My partner and I are first time homebuyers and thanks to them, we just closed on our first home! Esraa and Shimaa’s knowledge of NY real estate and the home buying process was so valuable to us. We purchased a co-op which is an intensive process, but not only do they know the process up and down, but they also answered every question we had and walked us through every step so we understood what to expect. They did a great job negotiating and helped us craft a good co-op application and prepped us well for the interview. They also had great recommendations for a mortgage company and lawyer and helped liaise between all parties, which was so helpful. Buying a home was super daunting for us, and Esraa and Shimaa were there throughout to ease our anxieties, but also to be real with us so we always felt prepared. Their communication, insight, and support is unmatched. Whether you’re buying your first home or your tenth, go with Esraa and Shimaa!”
“After living in New York for nearly 25 years, I had almost given up on the idea of owning my own place. I wasn't confident I could even get into this competitive market. That all changed when Shimaa Anwar contacted me after I was just casually browsing on StreetEasy. I told her about my "dream apartment," and she confidently assured me she could make it happen. Frankly, I was skeptical. But just two months after meeting with her and her associate, Evelina, I had an accepted offer on that exact dream apartment in Brooklyn—a full-service building right off Prospect Park, something I truly never thought was possible for me. Shimaa and Evelina were not just brokers; they were guides, advocates, and genuine partners. They navigated me through the daunting coop application process so seamlessly it felt effortless. The Anwar team is sincere, incredibly knowledgeable, and they truly, genuinely care about their clients. If you're looking for a real estate team that will listen, deliver, and support you every step of the way, look no further. I cannot recommend them more highly!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Shimaa Anwar and Evelina Kushnir from Compass on the purchase of my apartment in NYC, and I truly could not have asked for a better team. They were detail-oriented, thoughtful, and incredibly efficient from start to finish! What really made them stand out was how closely they listened to our needs and ideas, and how they always found a way to make things work. They made the entire process feel seamless—and as stress-free as finding a home could get! I can’t recommend the Anwar Team enough—thank you both for making this such a smooth and exciting experience! 🤩”
“We’ve purchased homes before, but never in New York City, so we were understandably a bit overwhelmed. From day one, Evelina, Shimaa, and the Compass team made us feel completely at ease. Evelina spent multiple days touring homes with us, always providing honest, insightful advice that helped guide our decisions. Once we chose our home, we felt fully supported by the entire team. They helped us understand which points were worth pushing on, and Shimaa negotiated skillfully to ensure we received a fair deal, including meaningful seller concessions. Throughout the process, they were consistently responsive and shared valuable recommendations that made a real difference. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be working with them again if we buy in the NYC area in the future. We highly recommend the Anwar team at Compass.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience than we had with the Anwar Team. Shimaa and Evelina were patient & professional, did their research and went above and beyond the call of duty in helping find the property we were looking for. They helped with the on-boarding as well and the closing went as smooth as can be. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a broker.”
“The Anwar team is the best. They are there for you 24/7 Always working to succeed!”
“I can't thank Shimma and Esraa Anwar from Compass enough for helping me close on my dream apartment in Harlem, NY! From start to finish, it was an uphill battle, but their unwavering support, tenacity, and wealth of resources truly made all the difference. They pushed with me every step of the way and never gave up—even when the process got tough. I’m beyond grateful for their professionalism, patience, and determination. I look forward to working with them again when it's time to find my vacation home. Highly recommend!”
