Eileen Appel of Charles Rutenberg Realty

Although we have not yet sold our home, Eileen has shown our house to several buyers and is in contact with other brokers and salespeople.

Extremely well. Appointments on time, alerts of viewings by phone and email, referrals to excellent attorney and architect to close outstanding permits.

There is honestly no one better than Eileen Appel! We recently embarked on the journey of finding our first house. We had been casually looking online for over a year, using the common websites and feeling so overwhelmed. Eileen stepped in and changed everything! She was able to find us a variety of houses in our target town and price range. And then she helped us through the mortgage process once we found "the one!" Here are our favorite things about Eileen:
1. Her experience is priceless. She knew when homes were priced appropriately, when to just walk away, and when to negotiate.
2. She was always available on weekends and in the evenings - to see houses, to answer questions, etc.
3. She would instantly text/call/email back - to us, and for us! We would text her a question - who do we ask about such and such? Her response a few minutes later would say, "I called _____ and here's your answer!" She really made things so much easier for us.
4. She has a team of qualified people - from our fantastic real estate lawyer Maureen Tynan, to the home inspection company, to the contractor that has done beautiful work in our new home. These people have made the process much easier to go through as well!
5. She is an honest, wonderful person. Developing a relationship with our realtor was important to my husband and to myself. Buying a house is a giant commitment and we wanted to trust the person helping us. We were so very lucky that Eileen is THAT person!! We loved learning from her and spending time with her! Our two-year-old son would ask to call Eileen because he loved talking to her, too! We cannot recommend Eileen Appel enough! 

Phenomenal experience!! I could not have asked for a better realtor.  My widowed Mom moved to Florida to be close to me and eventually decided to part with her home of 62 years and put me in charge.  I found Eileen on Angies List and contacted her and it has been the best experience selling a house I could have imagined, especially since I was 1000 miles away and unable because of my employment to come up to NY easily and handle the multitude of matters myself.  Eileen was compassionate and professional and made my Mom feel that everything was going to be handled with loving care, as she was still as you can imagine very sentimental about the home. After I came up and arranged for items my Mom and other family wanted to keep to be removed,  Eileen recommended an estate sale person to handle the sale and disposition of the remaining 62 years of accumulated items in a large home and that went exceptionally well.  She recommended painters, handymen and other professionals to get everything perfect and my dealings with every one of these people were great, costs very reasonable, rapid response and quality of work exceptional.  She arranged for a cleaning service and even made sure that someone kept the snow and ice off of the driveway and walkway.  She recommended an attorney and my dealings with Gary Dunn, Esq have been excellent as he communicated quickly and took care of getting a NY power of attorney, handling all affairs and representing my mother at the closing.  Eileen would check on the house frequently and even replaced on her own a failing battery on the thermostat when she stopped by one day for a routine check and found the house cool.  She and her husband picked up a bulky trunk that my mom brought over from Italy when she came to this country and that we did not want to sell to be shipped long distance to us on her dime because of the Angie's List discount we were provided by her, and even after closing on the house wanted to confirm my Mom's address to mail another small personal item to my Mom that she had found left in the house.  The closing had been delayed because of a minor error on the original Certificate of Occupancy from the build date in 1953, and she went down to the Town of Oyster Bay and sat and waited and eventually was able to get the mistake corrected that day when the usual channels to go through would have taken a month or two more to rectify!  Her commision was very reasonable for all of the work she put in, and my Mom and I can't say enough good things about her.  She was pleasant to speak with and would text and email to keep us up to date.  And the same compliments go for all of her recommendations on service providers.  New Yorkers are very blessed to have such a great realtor, but I must confess I have put in a plug for her to move to Florida and help us here!

Eileen sold me my home in 2009 and we were curious about what my home is worth today.    She has worked for us many times in the past and sold two of our homes in Plainview/ Old Behpage and Manhasset.  She also found us our beautiful home in Roslyn Harbor. 
Eileen Appel is a pleasure to work with!  She conducts herself in a very professional manner and is extremely knowledgable  in all aspects of real estate.  We have formed a long lasting relationship and I would continue to use her in the future.

Very good. She seems very knowledgeable. She seems nice, honest and friendly.

She helped me sell my parents home during a very difficult time in my life. She was there personally and professionally and was incredibly supportive.   She knows the market, and works extremely hard!!!! She made herself available 24/7

She ran several Open Houses unhesitatingly and most successfully & brought in a lot of people. Add to the above detail and one has the entire story.

They were fabulous. They were responsive and reliable. The agent was fabulous. We would absolutely recommend them.
