Taruna Sharma

"I have worked with Taruna on two purchases and the rental of one of those purchases over the past 5 years. After struggling through the search process with other brokers, it was refreshing to work with someone who actively listened to my needs and matched me with the right apartments rather than try to convince me that other apartments were a good fit. I cannot recommend her more highly than through my repeat business. I have referred several friends to her as well and look forward to working with her in the future."

- Priya K, Buyer & Landlord

"Taruna is gold. She is proactive, efficient, thoughtful and a pleasure to interact with. Several times she made the difference between getting and not getting the place I wanted – whether it was about convincing the seller to take my offer over an equivalent all-cash one, or getting financing expedited to make tight deadlines. I lucked out when I chose her as a broker. She has my highest possible recommendation."

- Sylvain C, Buyer & Landlord & Seller

"Taruna is hands down the best broker I have worked with. When we first met she listened very carefully to my description of my apartment, its value and how it could be marketed. We had offers from the start, and I was very appreciative of the constant communication with her and her remarkable responsiveness to help me get to the point of accepting an offer."

- Gurjot S, Seller

"The thing that impressed us most about Taruna was her consistent communication, commitment to excellence, negotiation skills and her understanding on how market conditions are affecting buyers. When it came down to it, we knew she was always looking out for our best interest and is here for the long haul. We found Taruna to be extremely easy to work with and always responsive to our questions and concerns."

- Paul & Tammy J, Sellers

"Taruna represented me in the purchase of my very first New York City co-op and if I ever purchase another home, she would be the first person I’d call. Our relationship was the most important in the home buying process. She had a certain kind of wisdom, calm, and integrity that made a difference. When I look back, it was as smooth as can be, organized and even fun. "

- Cindy N, Buyer

"Taruna is an extremely competent professional who you can trust will look out for you every step of the way in your NYC real estate transaction. She’s very diligent and thorough. Taruna has great instincts and is an excellent negotiator. I highly recommend her services in advocating for your best interests. She went above and beyond to help me close my deal."

- Tara J, Seller

'Taruna was an absolute pleasure to work with when I was looking to purchase a condo in NYC. She was particularly helpful to me, as I was a first-time home-buyer navigating the ins and outs of the New York City real estate market. She is an extremely professional, dedicated and reliable broker. Taruna knows her stuff and she goes the mile for her clients. I would definitely recommend Taruna to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a property! Thank you Taruna!"

- S Mirsepassi, Buyer & Landlord

"In our work and personal lives we have met many real estate brokers. Our recent experience with Taruna Sharma really stands out when she represented us in the sale of our co-op in midtown Manhattan. From the start Taruna provided us with well-informed advice. Throughout the process Taruna kept our needs in mind, showed tremendous initiative and offered innovative solutions. We were able to close with a very competitive sales price for our apartment. We highly recommend Taruna to anyone who needs representation in a real estate purchase or sale."

- Sarah H + Damon S, Sellers

Taruna is beyond doubt an outstanding real estate professional. I am working with her on my first property purchase in Manhattan, and I cannot think of anyone who I could have trusted more in guiding me through the labyrinth that it is. She is patient, sincere, resourceful and very organized. She is a great listener and counsels in moments of doubt, and her empathy for her clients sets her apart. She goes the extra mile and beyond to help even with things that are not her responsibility. Above all, she is a fantastic individual and I am glad I got to know her. I will recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

- Satarupa G, Buyer

"Taruna is in a world apart from other real estate brokers – a cut above anyone I have ever dealt with before. She is hardworking and only has her clients’ best interest at heart. Her first priority is her clients’ interest, not her commission. She would rather forego a sale than sell her client something she doesn’t think would be right for them. In addition she is always responsive. In this day and age when no one returns phone calls, Taruna always does. One could not do better than to engage this efficient, honest, hard-working broker on one’s behalf. My husband and I heartily recommend working with Taruna Sharma."

- Daniel & Leora G, Buyers

"When it came time to purchase our first home, Taruna was instrumental to our successful navigation of the cutthroat New York City real estate market. Only a month after starting our search, she found us the home of our dreams, and after a successful bidding war it became ours! As a buyer, you hope that your broker remains mindful of your needs at all times and Taruna was. She is endlessly patient, a keen listener and extremely detail-oriented. Buying a home with her help is a breeze. I could not recommend her more highly!"

- Rishi & Swathi S, Buyers

"As a new buyer, I was entering a competitive market with very specific housing needs. With patience and a determination to find me just the right apartment, Taruna made home-buying a breeze. Taruna clearly has significant expertise and knowledge in the NYC real estate market. She took me through countless open-houses and eventually found just the right place - meeting all of my needs. The buying process can be difficult for anyone, let alone someone buying in NYC for the first time. Taruna walked me through each step along the way, from the negotiation, to contracting, to financing, board package and approval, to close. Taruna’s ability to understand her client’s needs, combined with strong real estate acumen and a patient, understanding nature, makes her just the right broker to help her clients finds the perfect home."

- Dr. Guggenheim, Buyer

"Taruna has been a true professional throughout the entire purchase of our dream home. She helped make the process run quickly and smoothly. Most impressive was Taruna’s timely feedback. She was willing to chat with us on a Friday evening at 8pm or email with responses any night at every hour. She ensured we were kept up to date and made us feel very comfortable with each step. It has been a true pleasure to work with Taruna."

- Scott & Mimi B, Buyers

"Taruna made purchasing a dream home for two NYC real estate novices as painless and seamless as possible. Her understanding of the real estate market combined with her intuitiveness to her clients’ needs make her the best bet for anyone looking to purchase a home in New York. She has a tireless work ethic and was more than willing to put in hours upon hours of market research to help us make the best and most informed decision for our family. Whether it was suggesting listings that we didn’t even know we would be interested in or simply entertaining my two rowdy boys during a showing so that I could concentrate on the home I was looking at, she was exactly what we needed every time. Now that my family and I are finally ensconced in our forever home, we are so happy and I know exactly who I have to thank. She is the best!"

- Arthri R & Roshan S, Buyers

"You were one of the most respectful and professional brokers I have ever worked with. At no point did I feel rushed or intimidated. You really guided us in finding the apartment that we now call home. Your advice and knowledge felt more like talking to an educated friend than a person trying to sell us a space. I am glad to know a broker who truly cares about catering to a person’s needs. I know we will definitely work together again when the time comes."

- Adrian C, Tenant

"The thing that impressed us most about Taruna was her consistent communication, commitment to excellence, negotiation skills and her understanding on how market conditions are affecting buyers. When it came down to it, we knew she was always looking out for our best interest and is here for the long haul. We found Taruna to be extremely easy to work with and always responsive to our questions and concerns."

- Andy R, Buyer

"My boyfriend Cliff and I were very happy with Taruna. We felt she really took the time to understand us and what we were looking for in an apartment. I met Taruna totally by chance. The landlord of the apartment I was living in, decided to sell. She was his broker. Faced with needing a new place, my boyfriend and I decided to look on our own. This proved difficult, with my boyfriend living in California at the time. I then decided to use another broker, recommended by our building’s doorman. Both endeavors left us frustrated. I then decided to reach out to Taruna, simply because I liked her personality and the way she was showing my apartment to perspective buyers. Taruna took us to a few places. At first, I thought the list she showed us was short, but then I realized everything she showed fit all of our criteria. Whereas, when we went out with the other broker, he wasted a lot of our time showing us things that conflicted with our initial requests and conversations. For the first time in the process, we felt we had options. I would definitely recommend Taruna. Cliff and I are extremely happy with our new apartment."

- Brooke I & Cliff A, Tenants

“While buying my second home, I met Taruna as the seller’s realtor. I was not her client yet then, but she has been a marvelous and ever-so-helpful guide throughout the stressful process of buying. Her years of experience in real estate was apparent in how she liaised between lawyers, underwriters, loan agents, and the co-op's board to expedite the process. She also anticipated and preempted delays that might occur (e.g. by obtaining additional documentation before in advance). She was not only knowledgeable but also a patient and amiable mentor throughout the process: a rare ability to impart a wealth of information sensitively to an admittedly stressed-out buyer. Further, she is never more than a text message or phone call away: her responses are always honest, informed, and prompt. It comes to no surprise then that I immediately hired her as my realtor when seeking to sell my coop. She already has talked me out of several mistakes in my haste to sell: from setting a starting price, staging my apartment, and critically discussing the first few offers that came in. Taruna ensured that all the showings of my place were meticulously planned and controlled. We are now in the process of drawing up contracts, and I will certainly refer her to anyone who may need a realtor. My confidence in her skills and honesty is also what prompts me to write this review (something I rarely do): because I would also like to let strangers know of the good fortune of working with a such consummate professional.”

- Iza S, Buyer & Seller

"I worked with Taruna on selling my uncle’s apartment as he is now permanently disabled. Being out of state as well as dealing with New York City co-ops made the sale challenging, but Taruna did an outstanding job in helping me renovate, liaison with the property and then list and sell at a competitive price. She was also very patient and understanding in answering my questions on the intricacies of selling a New York City co-op. I highly recommend Taruna as an agent.”
