“We met Shimaa Anwar at a showing of the house we ended up buying. In the meantime, she and her colleague Evelina showed us a number of places and was a fantastic sounding board as we came around to the fact that the very first place we saw was the right place for us. Throughout what was a sometimes complex and even momentarily fraught back and forth negotiation to go to contract, Shimaa and Evelina kept us calm and focused on what matters - really all you can ask for in a real estate relationship like this. They are also lovely people to spend time with - an important piece of this given that it can take quite a while! We highly recommend her and her wonderful team if you are looking to buy in Harlem or anywhere else in her area of expertise!”
“I recently worked with Shimaa Anwar and her colleague Khrem through the purchase of my first NYC apartment on the upper east side. Shimaa is one of the most impressive real estate professionals I’ve worked with. She is sharp, knowledgeable, decisive and extremely thorough in her work. She made purchasing an apt in the complex NYC real estate market an easy task for myself as a buyer. I highly recommend Shimaa and her team.”
“Shimaa and Anna are a great team offering guidance and support throughout the selling process especially dealing with both set backs and success moments. Selling a home with 25 years of memories, love and care takes a lot of careful thinking and planning. Shimaa and Anna were there for us when we needed space and leaned in when we needed input.”
“Shimaa and Evelina have been the most supportive and effective advocates we could have asked for in a real estate agent! From the beginning, we asked to view a few apartments we had found and they were able to schedule them within the next day! They always looked out for us in negotiations, asking questions that we didn't know to ask as first-time home buyers. They also always had great recommendations for contractors, lawyers, and home inspectors! From the beginning all the way to closing, they provided clear and knowledgeable guidance at every step, teaching us while also fighting on our behalf. We cannot recommend them enough and will definitely be pointing all our family and friends their way!”
“Shimaa and Evelina were amazing throughout the entire process of our home search, offering and closing. They were incredibly organized, efficient and reliable through each stage. We really appreciated their ability to advocate on our behalf in the buying process, and would highly recommend them to anyone buying in New York City!”
“Esraa and Shimaa are the best in the biz! Being first time homebuyers, my wife and I were initially so overwhelmed by the process. However, once we met with the Anwar Team, they eased our stress by guiding us step by step, making the entire process such a breeze. We were truly so lucky to find Esraa and Shimaa and were so grateful for all their support, end to end, to make our first home purchase such a memorable and enjoyable experience! Couldn’t recommend them enough :)”
“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!”
