"Carmen helped us find our new apartment very quickly. She listened to what we were looking for; and the very first place she showed us was exactly perfect! Carmen coached us through the offer, approval and closing processes. We are extremely happy with our new beautiful home.
Selling the old place, given the market and circumstances associated with its location, proved to be a bit more challenging. Carmen was more than up to the task. It took a few months, but with Carmen's hard work, professionalism, creative ideas, optimism, and reassuring calmness, we were successful in securing a good price.
We are very appreciative for Carmen's efforts and we'd like to thank her for everything that she's done for us."

"Carmen organized a very impressive advertising campaign and series of open houses which ensured that my property maintained a high profile for agents and buyers during the period it was on the market. I ended up with several offers over my asking price. Carmen is an experienced and knowledgeable negotiator and she guided me through the complicated process of the actual selling of my house with skill and patience. Whenever we needed somebody to do something she always had a list of reliable references. Finally, Carmen was an absolute pleasure to work with – warm and personable, yet always practical, reliable and professional. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Thank you Carmen! Thank you Houlihan Lawrence!"

"From the moment we met Carmen Rivera, we felt like we’d known her for years. Also, we wanted to sell our house, fast. Carmen was the perfect fit. These days houses are sitting on the market for months and months. Not ours. Carmen got us our asking price in just eleven days! Carmen is upbeat and completely on top of her game. She used every type of marketing tool in the short time our house was on the market to get the word out. She also carefully monitored that all things went smoothly - we needed someone to fix the windows, she handled it; we needed the signed contracts to get somewhere by a certain time, she picked them up.
Carmen made the sale of our home an exciting and memorable event. We highly recommend her services as well as Houlihan Lawrence in general."
