The Clarke + Chen Team 

I relocated to NYC from the UK in 2016 was lucky enough to be connect with Jessica. Even before arriving in the US she was able to assist with information guidance, allowing us to dive straight into the property hunt when I arrived. As a first-time buyer in both the city country, Jessica’s knowledge was invaluable she helped me find a fantastic property that ticked all the boxes. Throughout the entire process she was ever the professional, helpful, always available, always smiling! Added bonus points for going the extra mile taking my mother around the city for a recap of all the properties as well! I would recommend Jessica Chen to anyone looking to buy a property in Manhattan, she will be my broker if I ever need one again.

We contacted Jessica and 2 other agents from other agencies when we needed to find a studio apartment for Kathy’s move to New York City. We had 2 weeks to find the apartment and get the lease in place. Jessica listened to our preferences and had a list ready of apartments that she shared with us days before we were going to be in the City. The other agents promised such lists but never really came up with anything. We went to New York and met with Jessica, who is delight to work with. All the apartments she showed us were in the price range we requested, and all were in the areas we requested. the apartments were listings from her company and from other real estate companies. It was a long day, but we did find the right apartment. Jessica helped us through the qualification process, and we had the lease and keys even a few days earlier than expected. We would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an apartment in New York. I grew up originally in Manhattan so I know how difficult apartment finding is. Jessica was always honest with us about everything, and we never felt that she was pushing us to any particular choice.

I would highly recommend Jessica Chen for anyone looking for a place to live in NYC. Given our very busy work schedules at the time Jessica made it an incredibly easy process to find a new apartment and even went as far as face-timing me with my boyfriend while I was out of town on a business trip. She listened to our specific needs which included an onsite gym, in laundry, a breakfast bar/island kitchen, outdoor space, and enough space to comfortably fit my boyfriend’s office space. She really went above and beyond to find us exactly what we were looking for, exceeding our expectations, not making us compromise on any amenities we wanted, and all within our budget. She viewed apartments prior to taking my boyfriend and I to ensure it would meet our expectations. From there, she handled our lengthy board package making it as smooth as possible. Additionally, she was thoughtful enough to send us a note and housewarming gift after we moved in. She was truly amazing to work with throughout the entire process!

My husband and I were able to transfer our lease, quickly and hassle-free, thanks to Jessica Chen! We recently purchased a home in the suburbs and needed to find someone pretty quickly to take over our lease. Jessica was a huge help from day one. She was able to find the perfect tenants in just under a week that met the building requirements and were flexible on timeline with their move-in. Jessica was professional, reliable and responsive throughout the whole process. With all the stresses of buying a new home Jessica made this part of the process worry-free for us. For any NYC real estate Jessica Chen will be our #1 recommendation!

Jessica Chen is honestly the best broker you can find anywhere. She helped me tremendously when purchasing the property then again with renting it out a few years later. She took the time to understand exactly I wanted, listened to and understood what type of neighborhood, vibe and lifestyle I was looking for. She helped immensely with the apartment search, advising me of the different neighborhoods that she thought would interest me and the return as an investment property. She worked diligently to find what I wanted and was able to show multiple listings that fit my needs. After settling on the apartment, Jessica walked me through the complicated board package, and went far beyond by assisting me through the tedious mortgage process as a foreign international. Jessica is involved, determined, extremely helpful and passionate about her job. She is not just another broker doing her job, she is the broker to go to.

I had been looking for an investment property Brooklyn for a while. Several deals fell through with a different agent before I reached out to Ali and gave her my dream list. Tireless and diligent yet calm and relaxed, always ready with solutions to any obstacle, she knows the market inside out and made the process seem easy. And with her on my team, we found and bought a beautiful brownstone on a gorgeous block…then she found me great tenants for the building! I have introduced her to several friends with equally successful results. She is the only agent I would consider working with in New York. Thank you so much Ali!

Ali was recommended by a neighbor whose apartment she had recently sold and it was clear as to why from our first phone call. Throughout our sale process, she was responsive, genuine, realistic, and positive: a winning combination. Trying to sell during the pandemic was daunting and full of uncertainty, but Ali managed to pull everything together in the most painless way possible. She produced a compelling posting with lovely photos that made our Clinton Hill apartment shine, so much so that she was able to secure us a full priced offer even after we had moved out of state and were showing it without furniture. I would recommend Ali without hesitation to anyone looking for an agent in Brooklyn.
