Client Endorsements

Purchase Resident "My wife and I were represented by Louis Katsoris in the selling of our home. He is a broker who is a consummate professional and someone who is able to deal with all types of people. Our home was at the high end of the market and Louis was the key factor in a delicate negotiation process. We highly recommend him to anyone who is selling real estate. His knowledge of real estate in general and the market in particular is second to none." Rye Resident "We sold our house in the Greenhaven section of Rye in November of 2013, with the understanding we would rent it back from the new owners until June 2013 to allow our two boys to finish out school year. In the interim, we began our search for a new home in the same section of Rye and parts of Mamaroneck to remain the Rye Neck school district. One of our twin boys has cerebral palsy, and we needed to find a home that was either on one level or at least had a bedroom and full bath on the first level to accommodate our sons’ needs. Louis Katsoris was introduced to us by a good friend after we had been looking at houses for several months and June was looming around the corner. We explained our needs to Louis and he immediately understood our situation and began the search. Always keeping in mind the needs of our son. Time was moving along and June would soon be here. Rather than rushing to buy a house we decided to rent for a year. We exhausted several homes in our search for a rental because most rental homes wanted three year leases. At the 11th hour and with his constant perseverance Louis called us about a new rental with a one year lease. The house was four blocks from our old house in Greenhaven. We met with Louis within the hour after he told us about it and we went through the home. We gave Louis the green light that we would take the home. He explained to the owners of the rental property our situation and was able to close the deal for us the next day. My wife previously related to Louis how our lives were in his hands when we were between houses. He listened attentively to her story and silently reassured her we were in good hands. This quality does not get addressed in market value reports and number of houses sold, but rather is the qualitative difference between one who sells houses, and one who helps a client have faith when things look hopeless. Louis obviously knows the real estate market intimately and has a very patient, collaborative, thoughtful and very professional approach. We were extremely fortunate to have had Louis as our broker." Harrison Resident "I found Louis to be trustworthy, knowledgeable, extremely intelligent and a pleasure to do business with. We hold Louis in the highest esteem." Rye Resident "Louis Katsoris is a savvy, honest and straight forward real estate agent who took the stress out of one of the most difficult times in our lives. His advising proved to be spot on and he guided us to think rationally about the sale of our property without letting our emotions get the best of us. We highly recommend Louis if piece of mind and a strong sale are your goals." Harrison Resident "I have worked with Louis Katsoris both on my personal property and on the sale of a business property. Both experiences have been outstanding. I first worked with Louis when I sold my home in Harrison. I had another broker, but was not pleased with the level of diligence and work ethic, so hired Louis. The house was sold at an attractive price, to the right buyer, and very quickly. Louis took responsibility for all the details of the sale, so the process was very easy for me and my husband. Because of this great experience, I asked Louis to take on the challenge of selling a commercial property. It was a tough prospect. Needless to say, Louis was up for the task, got the sale consummated in a timely manner and at an attractive price. Louis is the best broker in the Harrison/Rye area in my opinion, both for residential and for commercial properties."

Rye Buyer "We can't thank Louis enough for everything -- especially his guidance and support. His advice was spot on and he helped keep it all together. We could not have done it without him." Rye Buyer 
"When my wife and I decide to make the move out of the city we knew nothing about Rye, the Westchester housing market or living in a house. In short order Louis made us experts in all three. He is always on call explaining every detail to us 24/7. He is always calm during the closing process and when everything is done cares about us afterwards. I have already referred many of my friends and I will continue to do so because Louis is the best. He loves real estate and that is what you need when buying a home." Rye Buyer 
Louis is a superb broker. Not only is his understanding of real estate in Westchester excellent, but he also has an unparalleled knack for matching his knowledge with the particular wants and needs of his clients. I enjoyed working with him immensely and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the area."

Harrison Resident 
“As a senior attorney who used to represent Fortune 50 clients, Louis Katsoris delivers a level of service, attention, and professionalism that very few agents can match. Having hired him twice, we can say without hesitation that he is perhaps the most professional realtor in the business. First, he is an excellent listener, meaning he is highly respectful of your time. Nothing is more frustrating than describing exactly what you are searching for and what to avoid, only to have your agent show you numerous properties outside of your criteria. Louis understood precisely what we were seeking and never showed us a single property that failed to meet our preferences, making our time with him consistently productive and efficient. Second, he is very attuned to the market, making him an excellent advisor. We were fortunate to have an extended window of time to list our property for sale, so Louis spent considerable time analyzing current properties and the pipeline of upcoming listings to position our home for maximum value. He advised us to wait for a certain sale to clear and for another specific home to list before we put our house on the market, and consistent with his advice, these other homes helped sell ours by highlighting certain features of our home that might otherwise gone unnoticed. We received multiple offers in the first week and quickly closed within 6% of our asking price. Also, while negotiating the purchase of our new home, he provided honest and insightful advice about the home, neighborhood, and market that helped bring a significant level of rationale into what can often be an emotional decision. Third, he treats his clients as he would expect to be treated--with courtesy, patience, responsiveness, and always available. Like any far-sighted businessman, he understands that his long-term success depends on creating satisfied clients as opposed to logging a series of transactions, and everything he does reflects this principle. Overall, Louis operates in a different strata from the typical agent. We could not be happier with our experience.” Harrison Resident 
“We have bought or sold about 15 homes over the years. By far, Louis Katsoris is the very best realtor with whom we have ever worked. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable, facilitative and respectful of the seller’s needs and priorities. Throughout our entire listing and sales process he conducted himself with the utmost graciousness, sensitivity, professionalism and, above all, skill. We would recommend him without hesitation to any seller or buyer in Westchester County.”

Harrison Resident 
“I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Louis in the late spring of 2009. In the difficult real estate environment we were and still find ourselves in today I cannot imagine a more qualified professional to have worked with. Louis was extremely knowledgeable in regard to both the local market and perhaps more importantly the larger economic and financial situation of the current economy. He provided answers to all of our questions honestly and promptly. If there was a question or detail he did not have an immediate response to, he obtained it and responded in a timely fashion. He went beyond what I would expect an average realtor to do in terms of staging the home for viewing, providing constantly updated market comps for us as well as prospective buyers, and respecting our privacy. The only regret I had was that we were not able to have Louis sell our home before we decided to take it off the market due to changes with our children’s choice of schools for the 2010 calendar year. When our home is put back on the market there is only one person who we plan to have represent us, Louis Katsoris. As I have often said to Louis if someone needs to hear first hand on the type of individual he is, please feel free in having them contact me.” 
Harrison Resident 
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Louis Katsoris concerning the sale of my home in West Harrison, New York. I was overly impressed with Louis’ precision and attention to detail. The fact that the deal came together so quickly showed what a deal closer he truly is. From the start of the process he was up front with me about what I needed to do to prepare my home for sale. The information and suggestions he put forth were integral in attracting buyers and, ultimately, completing the deal. I can say, without question, that Louis is the best in the business.” Harrison Resident 
“We have had the pleasure to work with Louis for over two years, and words cannot describe what a consummate broker he is! During this difficult housing period, Louis has masterfully guided us along the appropriate course in order for us to achieve a successful house sale. Not only is he fully knowledgeable of the housing market, but he has been respectful of our pursuit and responsive to our needs along the entire journey. His instinct is acute and we value his judgment without bounds. Furthermore, he is warm and personable, and this has made our experience most pleasant, more than we could have imagined! Louis is exemplary and there is no one better! He is the ultimate professional!”

Rye Resident 
“It is our great pleasure to recommend Louis Katsoris. Louis was referred to us when we arrived in New York and began
looking for a home in Westchester County. Being new to the area our decision making process was somewhat lengthy. Louis was patient, thorough and exacting as he became familiar with our needs and wants. As our “right situation” became clearer the properties Louis presented reflected his understanding of the community and property attributes important to us. He treated our time as precious and while he kept in constant contact he only expressed a sense of urgency when the situation warranted it. When the right property presented itself Louis knew it and made sure we knew. He gave us great advice, but respected our views. We debated approaches between us and sometimes differed, but when Louis presented our proposals we were clearly of the same mind. Louis was not only our broker, he was our advocate. The results of Louis' representation created an outcome that exceeded our expectations. Louis earned his fee and more importantly, our trust and confidence. When a friend or colleague asks for a recommendation, it will be Louis who we suggest.”

“We recently sold our Harrison home through Louis. Although a difficult market, we had long planned to sell when our daughter went to college and we planned to move to Connecticut. Other brokers told us that we needed to just wait out the market or reduce the price in order to sell against so many homes for sale. Louis had a very different attitude. He was extremely proactive, and was determined that there was a right buyer for our home. He was right, he insured that our home showed well and located a buyer quickly. Then he was very professional and negotiated a fair contract very much working on our behalf. Almost as importantly, we describe Louis’s services as “concierge” treatment. We had just finished a closet construction and Louis managed to remove the debris from our yard within 24 hours of being hired. When there a power outage and we were away for a full week, Louis checked on the house every day and made sure all things were taken care of. Louis was kept us well informed on each step of the sale process and answered each question very quickly and completely. Our sale process, in a difficult market, was almost painless, and we would describe it as a “win win” for both the buyer and the seller. We only wish Louis could work with us when we buy our new home in Connecticut!”

Harrison Resident 
“We had a great experience working with Louis Katsoris. Louis was our exclusive broker on the sale of our home in Park Lane. Louis is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive. What we found truly differentiating about Louis is that he goes above and beyond in every respect, from making suggestions for staging, being proactive about identifying prospective buyers, and being very good about always keeping us informed and giving us the straight scoop. We very much valued Louis’ judgment and his high level of personal integrity. We loved working with Louis and recommend him without qualification.”

Harrison Resident 
“We cannot say enough about Louis and the sensitive way he treated us throughout this exercise. Louis is a bright, intelligent individual who impressed us from the first day with his professionalism, attention to detail, his ability to bring creative ideas to the table, and his patience in explaining in simple terms why some things are possible and others are not. We never had the feeling that we were being pressured into accepting something we did not agree with just for the sake of closing the deal. His professional and creative expertise along with the other attributes we have mentioned earlier, make Louis a unique individual who we were so fortunate to have on our side. We wish Louis and Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty continued success in your endeavors.”
