Prevu: Reviews
Fantastic experience: "Sarah is awesome, Professional, responsive, and knowledgeable." Working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Everything from the virtual staging of the apartment, photography, and interaction with the building management was excellent. We will highly recommend her. Raj & Meena
Fantastic experience: If you have narrowed down your choice of houses to purchase, this is a no brainer to use Prevu. Worked with Cyndy at Prevu to purchase a new house in WA state and she was very efficient and easy to work with. All the appointments and correspondances were handled quickly and professionaly. Highly recommend, especailly with the nice rebate check coming back to you after the purchase of the house.
Fantastic experience: Holy cow. This was EXACTLY what we wanted. My husband and I are very self-sufficient people - we knew what we wanted, what would work, etc. We wanted to work with someone who would not breathe down our necks, who respected that we were the experts on our own needs, but who also would help us where our knowledge failed (ie finalizing offers, negotiations, etc). We had Kash and he was amazing. He knew we were waiting on certain financial things, he knew we needed to find a place that fit. He never hounded us, he was respectful of our space, but he also kept the process moving. Prevu was perfect.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Prevu. Macie was very helpful throughout the whole process and the rebate came swiftly after closing. Strongly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and will be using my realtor again when I need help in the future. My realtor, Heather, had a lot of valuable experience and helped me snag a property before it went on the market in a competitive spring market in the DC area. Plus the bonus is I get a buyer’s rebate. I had been searching for a good realtor and went through a few before I found her. So glad I did. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Our agent at Prevu, Macy, was great! She was so knowledgeable and helpful during the negotiation, offer, and inspection and closing process. Plus, we got a substantial rebate after we closed from Prevu. Great experience and highly recommend Macy and Prevu
Negative experience: Their Seattle area broker Cyndy Stewart is the worst agent I've ever interacted with. She only likes brainless overbidders who bring her easy cash. She ghosts you the second she realizes you aren't one. Terrible company with their stupid website that doesn't even have a working search bar. what a joke. not worth the couple thousand in rebate you think you are saving with them
Fantastic experience: We used Prevu to purchase an apartment in Manhattan this spring and we could not be more pleased with our choice. Our agent Sara helped us with all aspects of our transaction: from submitting our bid to preparing our package for the building's board, she went above and beyond to minimize hassles during the technical and extensive approval process. She was happy to answer our (many) questions along the way, and once we received board approval, she championed the deal to the finish line, often flagging details before anyone on our legal team did. It was by far our smoothest real estate transaction to date. I thoroughly recommend Prevu and Sara to anyone considering a property purchase in NYC!
Fantastic experience: I just closed on my first home and had a positive experience with Prevu working with Sara Gladstone! She was proactive about sending listings and organizing visits to open houses, and as we went into due diligence and then contract she had a ton of referrals for attorneys, inspectors, etc. I was connected with my attorney through her who was the absolute best. The rebate came quickly after closing — in less than two weeks — which felt so good after the huge financial lift of closing! Thank you Sara!!
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience with Prevu over a period of years (!) of looking before eventually purchasing. It is honestly much more effective to have a highly competent remote broker setting up viewings/offers/applications etc, as opposed to an incompetent warm body that follows you around to viewings. Our agent, Prakash, was very helpful with the complex NYC co-op application process, and coordinating with the seller. The rebate is the cherry on top of the whole Prevu model, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Todd is the best real estate broker one can ever ask for! His sense of professionalism is surreal - knowledge of the market, thoughtful, considerate, and always responsive. I had a great experience working with Todd and he is always supportive throughout the process. Not to mention, Zillow/Streeteasy was very difficult to use. Prevu’s website is much more user friendly - much easier to filter through and keep track of listings, it really made my life a lot easier. Not to mention, the smart buyer rebate program is amazing!
Fantastic experience: We are first time home owners and I was very happy to be working with Prevu. Getting a rebate was quick and easy. And not only do you save money with a rebate, but the service was also fantastic. We really liked Todd and he answered all our questions. Todd was friendly, reliable, and constantly checked on us through the process. I would 100% use Prevu again if I were to buy another property.
Fantastic experience: Very smooth, very good experience. The buyer rebate is of course the selling point, but despite giving the big rebate the service we received from Prevu and Alan, our agent, was excellent. No difference to other agents I have worked with in the past and who didn't give the rebate.
Fantastic experience: I had a really good experience with Prevu—no BS, focused on success, and straight to the point. My agent, Edwin Marchan, made sure I got the best deal possible. He demonstrated his negotiation skills, understood the situation, and knew how to get the best out of it. Then, he guided me through the home-buying process and helped me address the issues that occurred along the way due to several external factors.
Fantastic experience: We found a place on our own via an open house and then contacted Prevu. Our broker Kash was invaluable in providing advice and negotiating the deal to get us to a successful closing. Applying our rebate to increase the offer helped us win a bidding war. 100% recommended
Fantastic experience: It's been great working with Cyndy from Prevu for purchasing my first home. Cyndy was really helpful and always there to answer all my questions. The Prevu platfrom also allows easy communication. Overall it's been a perfect experience.
Fantastic experience: Very glad I chose Prevu as my real estate agency when looking to purchase a co-op in NYC. Sarah, my agent was incredible helping me find the right place and assisting me with the process of the purchase. And on top of this great service I also got a nice rebate check back. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Purchasing new home has been bit of a long wait and adventurous for us. We started with Prevu before Covid. While Prevu has been transparent about market helped us to short list few of them. However competition was such that we didn’t win even after going above asking price.. We took a break during covid and returned. Things had changed a lot. Thanks to Prevu and Greg, they have been guiding us every stage of our search and finally our offer was accepted in early this year. We have moved in and happy about decision. I would strongly recommend Prevu for anyone looking or starting their hunt.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Greg from Prevu for my first home purchase. He was extremely punctual, responsive, and knowledgable and could not have made this process easier for me. Greg's communication during this time was extremely helpful and I would recommend Greg and Prevu to anyone. Thank you Greg!
Fantastic experience: We just closed out a fantastic experience with Prevu. We bought a sponsor unit in Brooklyn, which was confusing to start. Macie was awesome and educated us on the differences in a sponsor unit, and guided us the entire way. Further she had us negotiate for more (successfully), helped us pointing out flaws during final walk through that we were able to get fixed, and negotiated a higher percentage for Prevue which significantly raised our rebate. We will 100% work with Prevu again in the future when needed.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Prakash from Prevu during my house hunt in the highly competitive Westchester, NY market. Despite the challenging environment and losing out on several bids, Prakash remained incredibly supportive, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. He never wavered in his commitment and provided expert guidance every step of the way, ensuring we stayed optimistic even when deals didn’t materialize. I highly recommend Prakash and his company, Prevu, for anyone looking to buy a home in the area. We will definitely resume our search with him once the market improves!
Fantastic experience: Prevu was the perfect group to work with and I’m recommending them to anyone and everyone looking to buy a home. Most traditional realtors we talked to about Prevu were not excited about the 1% rebate, but they also couldn’t compete with it. Some details about our experience specifically: we were fortunate to land jobs in a nice place in California, but the cost of living is quite high. But this is where Prevu’s 1% rebate works best (since there are reasonable restrictions when the nominal commission is low). Like many buyers I know, paying so much commission just because the house is more expensive doesn’t sit well. I searched around, came across Prevu, reached out since they weren’t officially in the area we were buying. A few hours later a call was set up to get the search process started. And the 1% rebate was brushed over since it’s so simple. In terms of looking at homes, we were comfortable with the area in general and were happy to do our search primarily through open houses. However, there were a few places we wanted to see that needed to be facilitated by Lena and she was always on top of things. Perfect communicator. When it came time to putting in an offer, Lena was there every step of the way. Even though we are familiar with the home buying process, there are always nuances that arise and having her backing was invaluable. About a week or so after closing, our 1% rebate was delivered. I’m thinking that this “commission-sharing” model will become the norm, but it requires a bit more research about the area by the buyer. I don’t find this to be an issue considering all the resources available online, in addition to the fact that when making a big home purchase, it makes sense for buyers to personally learn about the area. I’ve read some reviews say that this may not be appropriate for first time home buyers, but I think this would have been ideal in our first home purchase. A lot of local realtors suggested that having a local realtor was helpful to give people a sense about the area, but I believe colleagues and the internet can provide just as much, if not more information about where to live. Most amenities like school quality are easily found easily online. So definitely a five star experience and very grateful for this forward looking way of purchasing a home!
Fantastic experience: I had the privilege of working with Macie at Prevu, and she was absolutely incredible. She was well-informed, extremely professional, and had just the right edge to help represent us to the seller and seller's broker. Prevu itself was also an enjoyable experience. I did wish that in the high-speed NYC home-shopping process that the website could have grabbed new information and listings more quickly after the seller posts them. In the end, though, it worked great and I got my rebate check VERY quickly, as well. A+
Fantastic experience: I recently worked with Sara to sell my apartment in NYC, and despite some unexpected challenges, she went above and beyond to ensure the deal went through. From the start, Sara demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and resilience. She was proactive in addressing every hurdle, always keeping me informed and offering solutions to keep the process moving forward. Even when things didn’t go smoothly, Sara's commitment never wavered. She was responsive, supportive, and truly invested in making the sale happen. I greatly appreciate her hard work, expertise, and the personal touch she brought to this transaction. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a broker who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Sara, for all your effort and dedication!
Fantastic experience: We are so glad to have had Stephanie and Prevu working with us throughout the real estate “hunting and relocation” process. Stephanie is very knowledgeable, provides excellent information and feedback and just made the whole process less stressful. It was particularly important because we were in another state while we were looking. Thank you again for the wonderful service that Prevu and Stephanie and provide - it’s very appreciated and definitely worthwhile!
Fantastic experience: Prevu had been a great help for the house purchase. I found the company Prevu through some search and recommendation and then through them got contacted with Alan , the local real estate agent. Alan had been super helpful in searching the property. The Bay area housing market is a little different than a lot of areas . Here the houses are sold over asking price , and offers are written without contingencies to make it any chance of getting . Given the market scenario , a potential buyer either gets frustrated seeing properties or goes overboard with their budget in order to get something. During these times, you need people like Alan beside you . He understands the market and has a good estimate of the property prices . While that may be true for a number of agents , he lets the buyer to be on the driver's seat always . He suggests price but in case the buyer wants to go more or less , he does not hesitate to write the offer. He is never pushy and always brings in the peaceful/calm factor which is needed in these transactions. Happy to have worked with Alan . In today's market , it makes all sense to work with a company like Prevu, who helps potential buyers with cash back along with helping them best to look for the property
Fantastic experience: We used Prevu and had a great experience. We both felt like we were able to see the places we wanted to see by visiting mostly open houses, and felt like a lot of agents did not add much value. Prevu was perfect for us. It was a great experience all around. Also, when we did need the agent to ask questions or work on an offer, she was great! Really positive experience. We closed on a place last month.
Fantastic experience: Ive bought two homes on Prevu and saved a TON of money. How nice is it to get a check back at closing? With Zillow / Streeteasy, it is starting to not make sense to use an expensive broker. I would recommend Prevu to everyone I know! (Thank you Kash!)
Fantastic experience: We've used Prevu to purchase a home and found both buyer agent and the platform to be helpful. In particular the smart buyer rebate program really helped us offset some of the cost.
Fantastic experience: Sara is a fantastic real estate broker! She represented me both in selling my old 2-bedroom apartment and in buying a new studio. Because both buildings are co-ops, each of the processes was very complicated and Sara helped me negotiate them flawlessly. She so understands the details of New York real estate as well as her clients' needs. She is always proactive, which I think is enormously important because she watches out carefully for possible complications and glitches. She is truly a wizard!
Fantastic experience: We have an excellent Prevu realtor Greg Cumings. Basically we attended open houses by ourselves. When we were ready to make offer, we contacted Prevu, who assigned Greg to assist us for further evaluation, negotiations, and closing. Greg has always been available, even late at night. He is apparently quite experienced. He was patient with us, knowledgeable, and provided invaluable input. We highly recommend him for buyers in Massachusetts. The buyer's rebate, of course, is a huge plus. This helps us on various expenditures.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of collaborating with Stephanie Kolesar on the Prevu team during my search for a new home. Stephanie's attention to detail, insightful recommendations for suitable properties, and her ability to streamline the entire process were invaluable as a first-time home buyer. Her expertise in the areas we explored ensured that I was guided in the right direction. I highly recommend both Prevu and Stephanie for their exceptional service, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. I love my new home!
Fantastic experience: When my husband and I were looking for our first house in Washington DC, we wanted to work with an agent who had plenty of experience and also understood the housing market. We already knew which property we were hoping to buy, and Prevu was able to educate us on the buying process and facilitate the negotiations from beginning to end. Their rebate program is really unique compared to the much larger companies who don't offer any competitive deal! I highly recommend Prevu to any buyer who is needing a reliable and knowledgable agent and the buyer is also interested in taking advantage of the incredible rebate program.
Fantastic experience: The entire purchase process with Prevu and Justin was great! We got our rebate about three weeks after we purchased our home and use of Prevu is a great way to save some money on the purchase of a house.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience working with Prevu. They were knowledgeable and reliable throughout our process as first time home buyers. Last not but not least, the commission rebate check was a big bonus! We will definitely use them again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience and strongly recommend Prevu. I was paired with Kelly and she did a great job as well. They provide rebate and I was not required to sign any contract during the buying process. I will use Prevu again over traditional agents in the future.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Prevu and Prakash (Kash) Dindyal! Prakash was able to negotiate a really decent deal on a new construction condo, recommend a stellar lawyer, and also get us a $2000 credit at Better Mortgage which led to a 0.25% lower interest rate. Prakash was amazing and professional every as step of the way, super available over text and phone, and Prevu was also quick to cut the rebate check a week after closing.
Fantastic experience: We just purchased our home through Prevu, working with Lena Ramirez. Lena was helpful throughout the entire process, from making the offer to working with the escrow process and closing. We received our rebate promptly, which helped defray costs related to repairs and remodeling and made the entire Prevu experience worth it. I strongly recommend Prevu instead of using a realty company or local realtor
Fantastic experience: I was paired with Kash to buy and had a good experience! Kash knows how to put together an attractive offer, is good at negotiating and to strategize with, puts together very professional paperwork (I talked to a traditional broker who told me this was one of "their differences"), and we had some laughs about the bumps in the road on the way. This was my first time home buying so I don't have other data points for comparison, but as a give-me-a-crowbar-and-get-out-of-my-way person, it was a good fit for me as I tend to do my own research and need less hand-holding / have done enough legwork to know good questions to ask. As a picky person who knows what they want and doesn't mind looking frequently for new properties by myself, I was also a good fit, as I believe Prevu does not help with that. I didn't realize it can take over 2 weeks to get Bank Letters (with your balance, account age) on it (and 3 weeks for my 401k letter!) - take a mental note if it might be relevant to you!
Fantastic experience: We bought our first home through Prevu and had an amazing experience. We worked with Macie Barnes, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive throughout the process and truly went above and beyond. She patiently advised us throughout the process, advocated for us even when we were not aware of things and she didn't have to do so, and brought in great advice based on her experience while being 100% supportive in helping us execute our decisions. She was there for the viewings we were serious about and also our first and also final walk throughs, and brought great perspective each time. She has a great network and recommendations - we were very happy with the lawyer and inspector we used through her recommendation. Highly recommend Macie and Prevu for any NYC housing search.
Fantastic experience: Prevu is a unique real estate agency in the country who are the most transparent about entire home buying process. Their agents are experienced and helpful. My experience with them was assuring and satisfying. They were willing to accompany me to visit any open house. Not that I encourage short notices to real estate agent for anyone willing to see an open house with them, but I have found houses on the market late on a Friday and visited them early on Saturday. Prevu's agents did their best to accommodate such short notices. I love them. They will be my go to agency, whenever I am in the real estate market again.
Fantastic experience: We used Prevu to purchase our new house in WA. Cyndy and team were amazing to schedule tour and patient in helping us to find the right set of homes. We took virtual tours as we were staying in CA during the process and Prevu helped a lot with it and didn’t made us rush into any decision. I will highly recommend their services.
Fantastic experience: Prevu and co-founder Chase Marsh were an exceptional advantage for our home buying experience in Connecticut. After wasting 6 months with a traditional realtor, we switched to Prevu. Chase's professional approach enabled us to efficiently identify suitable properties in a competitive market. His guidance throughout the search was most appreciated. The significant rebate at the end of the process was the perfect ending to a great experience.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Prevu. It’s ideal for someone who wants to lead their search and be hands on. I equate it to being the kind of person who wants to plan their own vacation vs having a travel agent do everything. (Do travel agents still exist?) If you are the former, Prevu is perfect. I worked with Sara and she was amazing. She knew what she was doing. Made this simple for me and was super kind and reliable. Part real estate expert, part therapist.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Prevu has been nothing short of excellent, thanks to the seamless collaboration with Alan. The platform worked like a charm, and Alan's expertise added an extra layer of assurance to my home-buying journey. One standout aspect of Prevu is the impressive rebate amount they offer. It's a game-changer! The substantial rebate provided a welcomed financial boost and underscored Prevu's commitment to making the home-buying process not only efficient but also economical. The synergy between the platform's functionality and Alan's support made for a winning combination. If you're looking for a streamlined experience and a significant rebate, Prevu, coupled with the expertise of professionals like Alan, is the way to go. I highly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: This was our first experience with Prevu. Our agent went above and beyond to ensure that we found a home in a very difficult market. She was extraordinarily attentive to our needs and offered extremely helpful market advice. Her superior knowledge of both the regional market and real estate in general made our purchase possible. The entire experience was excellent. We highly recommend Prevu!
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Prevu. Buyer agent Greg C is knowledgeable, patient and efficient. It’s a long process to find our dream home and Greg was always there helping out along the way. The rebate in the end definitely is a plus!
Fantastic experience: Prevu is a very well designed real estate company that works efficiently and makes sure that all client needs are met. Heather was my realtor and she made sure I get best possible deal for our new home, made sure that I was less stressed out during purchasing process and stood by my side every step. I highly recommend Prevu - Specifically Heather if you are in Dc/Maryland or Virginia location.
Positive experience: Prevu is legit and we applied part of our rebate check towards closing and will get the rest of it in a physical check. If you are a savvy and independent home buyer who is comfortable analyzing comp data from Redfin, reviewing inspection reports, identifying red flags then Prevu will be a great fit especially with the rebate check at the end. It is essentially for buyers who understand the housing market and can be their own advocate. Prevu only has one agent for entire Bay Area so the response time and capacity is much more limited. Our Prevu agent was accommodating and good at relaying information back and forth, with some delays at times due to limited capacity. Prevu should consider hiring more realtors in the Bay Area to alleviate this issue. Nonetheless with some nudging, we got essential information and used it to decide on a home and make a good offer. Highly recommend it for independent savvy buyers! If you want more hand holding and advisory from a realtor then we recommend finding a full service realtor outside of Prevu. Overall, Prevu was a great fit for us!
Fantastic experience: This is a great deal. We just used Prevu again, our second purchase with them. This time, Prevu helped us secure a rebate of over $10,000 of our money. Prakash was our Prevu agent and he was reliable and knowledgeable. He always answered our communication but more importantly earned his keep by encouraging us to lowball our offer by A LOT more than I was planning to, and it worked. That lowered Prevu's commission somewhat, but saved me a ton of money. I mean like drug dealer briefcase kind of money. He didn't have to do that, but he knew from experience that this was a case where we should offer significantly less than ask. Frankly, I wasn't expecting to get much service from my Prevu agent given their much lower fee, so I was pleasantly surprised. The last time I partnered with a "full fee" real estate agent they talked out both sides of their mouth...selling the virtues of every apartment they showed us (all of which were listed by their real estate firm, so they was clearly conflicted). Most agents are playing you like a lotto ticket because they get an outsized payday if their name is are next to yours when you sign. Prevu business model acknowledges a simple fact: streeteasy exists. I am going to find my own apartment. Maybe 10 years ago brokers did enough work to justify getting 2 to 3% of a giant sum of money, but at this point the rules that dictate your broker must take that much of your money are outdated and unsupportable. That's why Redfin quit the National Association of Realtors recently, because NAS is lobbying to protect traditional brokers and hurt consumers like you and me. I tell all my friends about Prevu whenever I hear someone say they are buying a home. I feel sorry for people who hand over their hard earned money to traditional brokers.
Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience working with Sarah Gladstone from Prevu.com during the purchase of my dream apartment in Manhattan. Sarah's professionalism and responsiveness transformed what could have been a daunting process into a seamless and enjoyable journey. From our very first interaction, Sarah's commitment to my home-buying goals was evident. She consistently went above and beyond to assist us. Sarah was always available to answer our questions, provide valuable insights about neighborhoods, and offer expert guidance. She kept us informed at every stage of the co-op purchase process, ensuring we were well-prepared for each step, as a result we could navigate through complex paperwork with ease. Furthermore, Sarah's extensive network of professionals, including legal experts and contractors, was a priceless asset. This network proved invaluable in assessing properties and addressing any issues that arose during the inspection process. Thanks to Sarah's unwavering support and Prevu's exceptional service, we found a home that exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Prevu to anyone in need of a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate partner. Their commitment to their clients is truly exceptional, and I am immensely grateful for their invaluable support throughout this journey
Fantastic experience: We are a first-time home buyer with lots of anxiety and skepticism throughout covid. But we are lucky to meet Sara at Prevu. She gave us a lot of handholding throughout the process, not only as an advisor but also as a friend. She doesn’t urge us to close the deal when we have cold feet or doubts. She is also quite resourceful. I would highly recommend her and Prevu to other home buyers!
Fantastic experience: This is my second time working with prevu and honestly the experience went from “good” to “great” over the course of the year. The change was wholly due to my incredible experience working with Heather to find my new home in DC. She was patient, calm, communicative and most importantly a great advocate for me in the buying process. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with prevu again and, while the rebate is nice, it was more important to me that the company worked with agents that are informed and savvy enough to find you the home of your dreams. Couldn’t be happier!
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Prevu, especially our broker Macie Barnes. Buying an apartment in NY can be intimidating, and we found many brokers to be pushy. To our relief, the team at Prevu was anything but that. Macie patiently stuck with us for 20 months while we looked at places across Manhattan and Brooklyn. The process of closing our transaction was also a long slog, but Macie was helpful throughout, offering her wisdom on all matters large and small. In short, we received first class service and would absolutely use Prevu again.
Fantastic experience: Just closed on our home with the help of Prevu in NYC. Our agent, Prakash, has been highly responsive and thorough. Buying real estate in NY can be complicated and daunting for anyone not familiar with it. Prakash's expertise helped us navigate through the process and secure a good deal in a location we liked and we are grateful for that. The business model of Prevu also makes a lot of sense in more expensive markets. We would highly recommend Prevu for anyone interested in buying in NYC.
Fantastic experience: I loved my experience with Prevu. Nicole is an amazing agent and a very compassionate person. The process itself was frustrating (mostly because of the bank) but Nicole kept me on-task and feeling supported throughout. I plan to only use Prevu going forward and would highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience with Macie and prevu. I was totally new to the process. Macie was the guide of my journey. She has great knowledge of the nyc real estate market and is a great negotiator on my behalf. I love the business model of Prevu which saved me some money and they sent me buyer rebate check after closing very quick as well.
Fantastic experience: We had the best experience working with Prakash Dindyal at Prevu. Kash is a very seasoned broker and we felt very confident with his vast knowledge and years of experience. He was highly effective at negotiating and helping us to secure our first home in a very tough and competitive environment for buyers. Kash has excellent communication skills and his quick turnaround time was a huge benefit in bringing our purchase to fruition. In addition, Prevu has developed great technology with their platform and tour booking tool which simplified the entire process for us. Getting the rebate check is just the cherry on top of an overall wonderful home buying experience. Prevu is the best in the business and their service is absolutely top of the line. We will always recommend them to our family, friends and anyone in the market!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience working with Sara at Prevu. She was very patient (with me) and certainly understood my needs. I would say that Sara's deep knowledge of the city's geography and comparables contributed greatly. The "no pressure" attitude was also helpful. I ended up engaging the attorney that Sara recommended; and, I think he was top-notch as well. I would highly recommend Sara and Prevu for any real estate need.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful time working with Sara Gladstone at Prevu. Sara is wonderfully sweet and genuinely kind. She helped us throughout the entire process step by step. We felt well-prepared when submitting our offers. Additionally, Sara's professionalism and dedication made our buying process as smooth as possible after our offer was accepted. We had a challenging seller, but she relentlessly pushed to make things happen. She was always on top of things and was responsive and willing to make herself available to our questions and requests. The rebate check was also a pleasant surprise after the closing. I will happily recommend Sara and Prevu to my friends/family and anyone else looking to purchase in NYC.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my Prevu experience. The service was excellent and my dedicated realtor never hesitated to let me tour homes. I'd definitely use them again, considering the significant savings from the commission refund. I received my refund check soon after closing on the home.
Fantastic experience: We recently had the pleasure of buying our home with the assistance of Rich and Nicole at Prevu. Their expertise and dedication transformed what could have been a complex process into a seamless and enjoyable experience. They were not just professional; they were personable, attentive, and genuinely invested in our journey. The savings we received in the form of a rebate were the cherry on top of an already outstanding service. This innovative approach sets Prevu apart from others and makes them our go-to real estate agency. We highly recommend Rich, Nicole, and the Prevu team to anyone stepping into the real estate market.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Seth in the summer of 2022 to start our search for a home in NYC and he went above & beyond in ensuring that we were kept fully informed during the process, from the search process - we saw several dozen properties together, and Seth was a great resource in negotiating an excellent deal price and putting a board pack together all the way till closing date. I enjoyed our beer together to celebrate the purchase as I felt I had gained a friend and not just a broker in the process. Highly recommend Prevu - the value proposition is fantastic and they came referred by friends and I have no hesitation recommending to others.
Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Sara at Prevu in purchasing our co-op in NYC. Sara is truly the nicest person you will ever get the pleasure of meeting but also a true professional - responsive and knowledgeable of the ins and outs of NYC real estate. She helped us negotiate a great price for our unit and greatly assisted us in doing one of the great joys in life - completing a co-op board package. We are forever grateful to Sara and the Prevu team and recommend her to all our friends and colleagues who are looking to buy or sell real estate in NYC.
Fantastic experience: We recently bought a home with Prevu. The agent was responsive, helpful, and professional. About a week and a half after closing they sent us a check for our split of the buyers fee. We aren't planning on buying again anytime soon, but I would definitely buy with Prevu again if I were.
Fantastic experience: Prevu helps you save money. The rebate check is real and I received it swiftly after we closed. Since New York real estate is so expensive, this is a substantial saving! I enjoyed working with Macie from Prevu, who was helpful, responsive, did not upsell, and recommended a lawyer who I enjoyed working with. I like Prevu's concierge service that books showings on your behalf, which is superior to booking through StreetEasy. This is the future of real estate buying!
Fantastic experience: I had an AMAZING experience with Prevu, specifically with Sara Gladstone. She is the kindest person you will ever meet, and I felt more than safe in her hands throughout the entire home-buying process. It is clear that she and the entire Prevu company are here for YOU as the buyer/seller, and I couldn't be more grateful to them for helping me find the most perfect home. A huge thanks to Sara and the whole Prevu team!
Fantastic experience: We worked with Alan during our house purchase and found the process extremely pleasant and stress free. Alan was pragmatic and patient as looked for houses in 4 different areas within the span of 50 miles. Alan was always there for us when needed his guidance and offered a non-biased advise. He kept us informed of the escrow process and finally closed it with the promised rebate check in about 2 weeks of the purchase. We couldn't ask for a better experience. I highly recommend Prevu and Alan if you are looking for houses in California.
Fantastic experience: Sara Gladstone was absolutely wonderful as our broker. She is knowledgeable, personable and worked tirelessly to get our purchase done. The seller's agent was extremely difficult but she didn't stop pushing. The rebate is also the best deal you can get. I would certainly refer her to friends!
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Stephanie Kolesar at Prevu. She guided me through every step of the process with exceptional communication and attention to detail. Thanks to her efforts, I closed on my dream home seamlessly. It was a pleasant surprise because we tried Prevu because of the rebate. I highly recommend Prevu/Stephanie to anyone seeking an outstanding real estate agent in Colorado!
Fantastic experience: Thanks Prevu for helping me buy my first house in US. We worked with Alan in tri-valley (in bay area) and he provided full service from starting to end. He was very proactive and on top of everything. I had unique situation in terms of RSU salary and Alan worked with my lender to get my underwriting prioritized, worked with seller to be transparent and Alan made sure that things are on track for a smooth closing. On top of all this, I got a great rebate. Thanks Alan and thanks Prevu for the amazing quality of service and a great rebate program.
Fantastic experience: Found Prevu online, and as soon as I signed up I was connected with a great agent - Prakesh who called me right away and explained the process of using the service. Prevu uses online tools to help you search for your property, with an agent assigned to you to help you negotiate and communicate with properties you are interested in. The overall process was smooth and I enjoyed the buying process. I would recommend this service to someone who is familiar with the area you are buying in and can leverage available information on the internet. My agent was amazing - efficient and fast with any questions I had! Then at the end of the day, they send you a great rebate! Win for all.
Fantastic experience: I used Prevu to buy a new construction home and couldn't be happier. Cyndy was an excellent agent; professional and responsive. But the best thing about Prevu is their Smart Buyer Rebate which gives a portion of their commission back to you. The website doesn't seem to go into the exact calculations, but from my experience, the current Prevu Smart Buyer rebate works like this: Prevu takes a $10k flat rate cut and gives you the rest of the buyer's commission. So, for example, if you buy a $1M house that offers 3% buyer commission, Pervu gets a total of $30k as commission, pockets $10k and gives you the remaining $20k. One thing to note is that the rebate comes AFTER closing, not during closing which would have been better. But still, it's an amazing program. I highly recommend Prevu for anyone buying a home. You get the same service, but the cash back can't be beat.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Mike Segel in the Boston area and Mike is truly great. I have worked with a number of realtors in different states buying or trying to buy homes and Mike is outstanding in terms of meeting all your needs yet not being pushy. Prevu is great too in the sense that you get a full service broker with a very significant buyer rebate.
Fantastic experience: Prevu is an outstanding company. Rich Gibbons was our agent, and was truly phenomenal. Unlike other agents or brokers we've encountered in the past, Rich was honest, not pushy, and really good at listening to our needs and executing on them. He was instrumental in helping us identify and negotiate the purchase of our NY apartment, as well as navigating the complexity of financing, inspecting and then closing on it. On top of all that was Prevu's Smart Buyer Rebate, which helped us significantly and allowed us to extend further than we otherwise could. Thank you Rich, and the whole Prevu team, for the exceptional service, attention to detail, and hard work!
Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Sara Gladstone at Prevu to purchase our first apartment in New York UWS. She was very knowledgeable and responsive, remained on top of the co-op board approval process and gave us great recommendations (lawyer, contractors, movers, etc.). The buyer’s rebate was settled immediately after closing – we already received our check 1-2 weeks after closing. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: We bought our first house using Prevu and saved a major chunk of cash with their buyer's rebate. Our realtor, Kash, was a text away whenever we needed him and helped us with some important negotiations. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience working with Mike Segel in the Greater Boston Area. We were thrilled to find an agent who was knowledgeable, responsive to our many emails, and supportive in guiding us through a first-time home purchase. The Prevu buyer's rebate arrangement was quick and smooth, making this a much more attractive model than the traditional fee setup. Overall, really happy with our experience and would highly recommend Mike / Prevu to others looking for an agent in the Boston Area.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Seth Beverly to purchase an apartment in Brooklyn recently and had a great experience. Seth was very helpful and addressed the countless number of questions I posed as a first time buyer. Seth is very friendly and knowledgeable and had great recommendations for real estate attorneys and inspectors, etc. The rebate with Prevu was also a huge plus. I highly recommend Prevu and working with Seth!
Fantastic experience: Stephanie with Prevu in Denver is truly the best Realtor I have ever worked with, and I have worked with many Realtors. She always seems to exceed my expectations in what I can expect from any Realtor. I never thought I could sincerely enjoy working with any Realtor, but she is the first that I sincerely like working with on finding investment properties. And as an added bonus, Prevu gives back a nice refund upon closing with them. I admit that the Closing Refund drew me to Prevu and led me to Stephanie, but I had no idea that the best Realtor I could ever work with would be included in that deal.
Fantastic experience: I purchased my first apartment in NYC with Sara Gladstone from Prevu. Sara was the listing agent and, as I did not use my own agent, she became the agent for both myself and the sellers. The experience was excellent. Sara is extremely warm, caring and highly professional. She helped me navigate the eccentricities of buying a coop in NYC. The transaction went extremely smoothly. I felt I got a great deal and, equally importantly, was dealing with honest and wonderful people throughout my entire interaction. Sara was always available to answer all my question day and night. Throughout the process I always felt comfortable at every turn- my first visit to the apartment was for almost an hour and several subsequent visits were easy to schedule and Sara was always available. I never felt rushed. She took time and made sure that everything was in order and my questions answered. Top notch experience from beginning to end. Could not have asked for a better overall experience or better agent. When its time to sell, I will call Sara without any hesitation. Alex Kaplan, MD
Fantastic experience: We could not be happier with the service we received from Prevu. Our agent Justin was attentive and stayed on top of things the entire time. He had great suggestions and we ended up buying our dream house when there 4 other competing offers. I would definitely use Prevu, and especially Justin, again!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience using Prevu. They act with the client’s best interest in mind. Although they provide a buyers rebate, this is by no means a “discount brokerage.” They are professionals who understand the market and provided me a lot of value as an out of town buyer in New York City. Rich went above and beyond to inspect my unit during escrow when I was traveling.
Fantastic experience: It was a super awesome experience buying our first house with Prevu and Kelly. Highlight: Kelly is super great at negotiating, and was able to persuade the buyer to reduce over 80k in total house price!! Kelly is very knowledgable about the house market in Los Angeles area, and provided us excellent full service throughout the house buying process. (p.s. She is also a very talk-able person who always looks so optimistic and delight. I really like talking with her!) She prepared offers and all required documents for us, and was even able to negotiate multiple properties at a lower price. Besides, she is very responsible, and is always accompanying us with every steps including investigation, final walk-through and so on. As a first time buyer, we got a lot of questions answered and addressed by her. We are so glad we chose her and Prevu, and we are for sure will use the service again in buying our second house in the future.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I had a great experience using Prevu to buy our first home in Philadelphia. Our agent was terrific throughout the entire process. Also, we received the rebate check two days after closing. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Introduced through a friend who had Prevu as buyer agent for his last several properties in the city. We, first time homebuyer, bought a 1 bdrm in Lincoln Square in Aug 2022. Prevu worked very well for us as we had good idea where we are looking to buy, what our budget is and what the budget can get. Seth was personable (he feels more like a friend than an agent). He worked diligently in scheduling viewing for us. Advising us on negotiating strategy (but is clear at the end of the day it is our decision to make). The best thing about Prevu to me is the purchase rebate - it all feels like a real partnership. It was still a lot of learning experience (hiring attorney, shopping for mortgages, scheduling and preparing for co-op board interviews - all of which come with its own set of challenges) but we were glad we had Seth and Prevu to guide us through. Prevu feels like a new generation home buying agent. We are very happy settling into our new home.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience in NYC with Prevu and the agent we were assigned, Sara. I preferred to do my own searching using street easy / zillow but then when I found a place, Sara advised well, was friendly, professional and very helpful and the rebate was very transparent. She was fully involved in the process from deciding which offer to place to closing (and beyond!). Even though i preferred do my online searching myself, partly because our parameters were so broad. Prevu's search facility was not quite as suited to that, but their daily email would somehow always send me exactly the same things i was searching for and in a few cases things i had missed. The rebate came in as soon as we closed, no strings, no small print and almost paid for all our buying charges.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Prakash at Prevu. We were first time buyers and really appreciated the guidance at each step along the way—without the pushiness that we felt from other real estate agencies. The rebate was received within a week of closing and was a major bonus, as it covered NYC's mansion tax and then some!
Fantastic experience: Just got my rebate check after closing on my new condo. I could not have asked for a better experience! Mike Segel at Prevu Boston was amazing to work with and provided crucial guidance and prompt service. I had been searching for a real estate agent with a commission rebate offer when I stumbled on Prevu. Their rebate offering was exactly what I was looking for (No other agency came remotely close), and they delivered 100% on both service and value.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Prevu and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in New England area. Mike was our agent who was patient with our asks and helped us land a great home after a long drawn search. Everything was digital + you get a good amount back as buyers rebate. One thing for them to explore is to start offering their customers cash backed offers like few of the other players in the market!
Fantastic experience: We recently bought a house with Prevu. Working with Cyndy was an absolute pleasure! Prevu made our house hunting stress free and extremely convenient. I would recommend them without hesitation - the rebate check is a very nice bonus!
Fantastic experience: Rich and Nicole did a great job managing the sale of our co-op apartment. They were extremely knowledgeable about the process, answered all our questions thoroughly, and ensured everything went smoothly from listing through closing. We would happily use Prevu for any future buying / selling we do, and highly recommend their services.
Fantastic experience: Buying a home is stressful and for a first time buyer, especially in NYC, you are learning a new game with an interesting set of rules. Seth is the person you want on your side. He was informative and supportive along every step of the way and never pushy. He had endless patience for my multitude of questions and led me to a successful offer in a competitive market. Seth also has a great eye for the structural details of buildings and as I moved from looking at houses to apartments he continued to point out details that I would never have noticed. Besides his excellent skills as a broker Seth is an incredibly kind person with a great sense of humor that makes the process fun. I was also very happy with Prevu and the process to receive the rebate. Thank Seth and Prevu!
Fantastic experience: We worked with Sara at Prevu. She was fantastic and we had a great experience. We found her to be knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. Sara was available outside of the normal work-day to strategize and answer questions. She advised us on every step of the process, including bidding strategy and negotiation, inspection, and the co-op board application process. Sara also went above and beyond, including with referrals for mortgage financing and a great real estate attorney. Post-close, we received a rebate check within days. I highly recommend Prevu, and Sara in particular, for NYC home-buyers.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Rich Gibbons at Prevu to purchase our first co-op home in Brooklyn. Rich was extremely patient with us as first time buyers and supported us from our first offer all the way through to closing, including putting together a lengthy board package. He also provided incredible recommendations for home inspectors and mortgage brokers. Prevu was a wonderful company to work with as we were able to search for listings, book open house appointments, and communicate with our broker all online through their platform. The cash rebate at closing was the cherry on top of a great home buying experience. I would not hesitate to work with both Prevu and Rich again and have recommended their services to all of our friends buying in NYC.
Fantastic experience: My husband Ben and I had a wonderful experience working with John G. at Prevu! John was very helpful, a great communicator, and was our partner every step of the way. John even went above and beyond to print and deliver our lengthy co-op application to support us during our out-of-state home buying journey. We are so appreciative for our experience with John and Prevu. Thank you for helping us close on our new home :)
Fantastic experience: We worked with Macie at Prevu to sell our co-op apartment in a challenging market amidst rising intererst rates. This was our third time working with her and once again, she did a wonderful job. Macie's dedication was evident as she organized numerous open houses/private showings and persisted until she found us the perfect buyer. She kept us in the loop throughout the transaction making the selling process smooth and successful, even in this tough market. We're grateful for her expertise and commitment!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Prakash "Kash" Dindyal to make your home buying process smooth and more enjoyable! We were first home buyers and longing for transparent and efficient home buying process. When we came across Prevu’s website and learned their mission, we decided to go with Prevu for our first home. The interaction with Prakash was always reassuring and helpful. From negotiating price, getting inspection done (the inspection professional he recommended was great!), signing contract, handling the management company, you name it. There were couple hiccups unrelated to Prevu and Prakash was a great help to push things through. I would say Prakash was beyond an real estate agent, he was our friend and support. We could not thank him enough for working with us throughout the process. The cash back is a nice bonus. It came in like a breeze wiithin a week after closing. Similar to all other reviews, it’s quick and efficient and the exact amount we were told at the very beginning. If we ever need to buy or sell a home, we will go with Prakash and anyone he recommmeds!
Fantastic experience: When I was referred to Seth at Prevu, I knew I wanted to purchase an apartment in New York City, but didn't really know where to begin. Seth patiently explained the process to me, helped me understand the differences between condos and co-ops, and provided recommendations for inspectors, lenders, and attorneys he trusted. Going into this process I was concerned that a realtor might push me to purchase something I couldn't afford, or that wasn't a good deal for me. Seth explained that realtors at Prevu are paid a wage and are not incentivized to be pushy in this way. This was true in my experience. Seth never tried to convince me to do anything I didn't want to do. Though he did encourage me to at least go to showings when I was wracked with indecision at the beginning of this process. That was a good thing. This is my first time buying a home, and from what I have heard the process is more complicated here than in other places. I feel very grateful that I had Seth to guide me through all the document requirements, board interview process, and negotiations with the seller. I don't think I would have made it to closing without his help. It has been quite a process but I was able to purchase a small studio in the neighborhood I wanted, well within my price range. I can definitely recommend working with Seth for any other first time buyers in New York City!
Fantastic experience: Prevu provided, an awesome service, our agent Martin was able to organize showings immediately, and wrote a highly competitive offer which was accepted in a hot market. We are very happy with Prevu, the rebate is the icing on the cake, we will use Prevu again for sure, so should you.
