We are excited that she did because she was our realtor and helped us find the perfect home in Astoria. Throughout the search process, Rosalie was a calm and steady support to our needs and wants. She also convinced us to buy the property adjoining the house. This was great, strategic advice. We received excellent and expert service and we highly recommend Rosalie as a real estate broker who puts her clients’ needs first. We believe you’ll be happy too!
