As Senior Vice President of Development responsible for new residential developments at Extell Development Company, I had the opportunity to work with the city’s top brokers. This experience served me well when I was in need of a broker to represent my husband and me in our search for a classic six pre-war apartment in Carnegie Hill and the subsequent sale of our Midtown apartment. I knew we would be in good hands with Daniella. She stood out as a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable, hardworking and an absolute pleasure to work with. First, she allayed our concerns regarding a possibly difficult co-op board process by speaking with brokers who had done deals in our target buildings. She then did her due diligence and negotiated a significant discount on price and spent considerable time reviewing our board application package to make sure it was perfect. After we were approved, we then needed to sell our current apartment, in the height of COVID. Adding additional difficulty was our desire to know we had a buyer but also our need for a delayed closing to allow us time to renovate our new apartment. Daniella exceeded all expectations. She presented a compelling comparable analysis to support her suggested listing price, which was 10% higher than we had suggested. She then achieved an impressive accepted offer within 5 weeks and also negotiated 6 months until we had to close. Her thorough research, skill and positive can-do attitude enabled her to guide us smoothly through our purchase and achieve more than we dreamed of for our sale. Daniella Schlisser lives up to her impeccable reputation in every sense – exceptional acumen, expertise and professionalism and a delight to work with in every way.

My husband, Michael and I had the amazing experience of working with Daniella Schlisser as our real estate broker in buying a new apartment and selling our old apartment where we had lived and raised our family for half a century. When you work with Daniella you get more than a real estate broker. She throws herself into every aspect of the job imaginable. No problem was too hard for her to solve. On the buy side, she assisted in presenting an impeccable board package, organized all visits to see apartment, oversaw every aspect of the financials and even helped with the insurance. She is meticulous about answering emails, was available and encouraging in the bidding process and functioned as a supportive friend when we wondered if the deal would ever go through. On the sell side she actually orchestrated every aspect of selling our family triplex penthouse. There were so many issues in the sale that we really needed someone with determination and intelligence to deal with the board and all the complexities that accompany the sale of a penthouse. Never once did Daniella refuse to get involved. She went headlong into investigating why the managing agent was so slow in setting up interviews for prospective buyer and in establishing a realistic asking price. She knows the New York City real estate market cold. She knew when to advertise our apartment and when to adjust the price. I could go on and on forever about her virtues. Bottom line: Daniella is whip smart, ethical to a fault and a great person. Anyone that is fortunate enough to work with her will view her as a friend for life.

We met Daniella over two years ago. She was a listing agent on a property we were looking at. We did not have a buyer’s broker at the time. We didn’t think we needed one. That is, until we met Daniella and her team. Daniella was able to find an apartment that was not technically listed which we ultimately purchased. It was not a difficult decision to have her represent us on the sale of our existing apartment, which she recently completed in a very difficult market. Daniella is an outstanding representative for both buyers and sellers. She is extremely smart, understands market dynamics and both buyers’ and sellers’ motivations. She has an excellent demeanor and treats everyone with respect. She has managed to create this culture among her team as well. Most importantly, she is a fine human being. We would recommend her to buyers and sellers without reservation.

We cannot express enough our deepest gratitude for Daniella finding us the most perfect apartment. We bought an apartment sight unseen because we had complete trust in Daniella and her team! They made the whole process seamless from start to finish! She did her research and found exactly what we were looking for. She truly listened to our wants/needs and delivered! We can’t thank you enough!

I am delighted to say without qualification, that I have never dealt with a more attentive or professional broker than Daniella. Her advice was always well researched, carefully considered and clearly presented. Her assistance in helping us source some of the resources we needed to complete the sale of our apartment was critical to the success of the transaction. Finally, her sensitivity to the angst that accompanies the sale of an apartment we called home for over twenty years was particularly appreciated.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Daniella, twice!! On each occasion, Daniella was a huge value add, substantive, knowledgeable, thorough, accommodating, energetic, honest and helpful in every way. We have pretty busy schedules and Daniella never wasted a moment of our time. She knows the market and carefully screened and scheduled prospects. She helped educate us and was quick to point out relative value and the pros and cons of different options. We never felt pressured or rushed. And, once we decided to pursue an opportunity, Daniella was fantastic in navigating all the difficult details of negotiations, scheduling, Board approval etc. If we ever decide to move again, we would not hesitate to call Daniella again. Who knows, maybe we’ll score a Daniella Schlisser hat trick one day.

Dani and her team are highly professional, polished and simply do not miss a trick. Dani’s ability to recognize the viability of an offer, her suggestions for staging and simply put Dani’s assistance, knowledge, organization, and resources are invaluable. All of Dani’s skills were needed to realize the sale of an Estate apartment, and critical to the success of the sale. Her attention to the needs of the clients is unparalleled. She is a master of bringing the right parties together for a successful result.

There is no question that Daniella is the reason we now live in our dream home, her guidance, knowledge and patience (with the sellers and, importantly, me) were critical throughout our work together. Daniella is a consummate professional whose dedication and perseverance achieved a deal that included several challenging negotiations. Not even a global pandemic slowed Daniella’s commitment to getting us the right home. Through both the high level negotiations and small procedural details, Daniella took control and skillfully guided us through the transaction. We owe the world to Daniella and recommend her without reservation.

Daniella you and your team did an incredible job dismantling a coop that had not been occupied for over fifteen years. You then retained (on my behalf as an out of state seller) the best contractors to stage the unit in a timely, organized manner and on budget. There were no surprises with the anticipated up front costs as you promised, the return on that investment netted the estate an extra $400k at the time of negotiations. You truly worked your magic! Again, thank you for the terrific professional service. You are the best.

Daniella you made the process of selling our family home of 25 years so easy to understand and stress free. We so appreciate your patience and expertise! Your steadfast belief in the value of our home despite our uncertainty got us the most amazing deal. Your insight was incredibly valuable to us from start to finish, and we could never have done this without you!

We met Daniella as the selling agent for the apartment we bought in Carnegie Hill in 2016. We initially came to see it without a broker, and she quickly established a rapport with us. She maintained active contact with us while the apartment was in market, and when the possibility of a deal became concrete we did not hesitate to ask her to work as a dual broker to make the deal happen. She understood our position and concerns without compromising those of the sellers. Her professionalism and tact were crucial in making the deal a reality. Three years later we decided to move out of the city. We immediately contacted Daniella and her team to act on our behalf. The experience could not have been better as they over-delivered at every step of this process. From guiding us on timing and pricing all the way to coordinating visits and open houses, they demonstrated profound industry knowledge, strategic thinking and unparalleled professionalism. They marketed the apartment in such an effective way to the right target audience that in a couple of weeks we received 3 offers, with one substantially above ask. In addition, working with Daniella’s team was an extremely pleasant experience. We could not recommend them more highly.
