Highly recommend Samia Akodu as a real estate agent. My wife and I recently worked with her over a six month period to find a co-op apartment for our daughter and we were impressed by her professionalism, diligence, knowledge of the coop market and her patience. She took the time and effort to learn about my wife’s distinct likes and dislikes and the priorities of my daughter. She did not waste time on any clearly unsuitable listings. Once we decided on an apartment, she was instrumental on performing due diligence on the building, handling the negotiations, providing name of a trusted inspector and introducing us to a highly experienced attorney to handle the closing process. This was extremely important to us as we have no experience with purchasing a coop apartment. We were lucky to meet up with Samia and we do not hesitate to recommend her as an agent and genuinely nice person.

It was an absolute pleasure meeting Samia. She approached my housing search with confidence, persistence, and the utmost professionalism. Ultimately, she helped me find my dream apartment and I couldn't be more happy! I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you Samia!

I would recommend Samia Akodu to everyone I know! She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and worked with my challenging timeline. She helped me find a place that is right for me, that works with my budget, and that feels like home-- not just a solution for right now, but for the long term.
But what really makes Samia exceptional is her ability to find solutions. She looks beyond the obvious, and works with all of the parties involved with the greatest respect and creativity to negotiate roadblocks and keep to the timeline.
I felt so prepared for each step in the co-op purchase process, and Samia was fully engaged throughout: ensuring that I had a temporary place to stay while the deal was finalized, speeding up my board interview to stick to my timeline, and staying on top of all of the communication and details back and forth so that the whole team was on the same page.
Samia is really invested in her clients, and I couldn't be happier with the result. With the unpredictable housing market now and complexities of real estate in general, it was such a joy and relief to work with her. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking in NY.
