Team Carte Blanche

I recently purchased a Condo in NYC, this property was so personal for me due to family situations. I Sold my home in New jersey due the lengthy distance and was in hi-demand to find a NYC property close to my family. In the mix of the purchase, I loss my grandfather whom I knew would love the property due to its secret area to the pond My emotions were all over the place the relator that I had was completely incompetent, her facts were never on point, she never did anything in her job title....

Words cannot describe how truly exceptional Aaron and his team are. When I first came to him, I was relocating from out of state and struggling to navigate the New York rental market and all its complexities. After speaking with him on the phone, I instantly felt a sense of calm come over with me. He has so much experience and such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to New York real estate - and has created a top of the line team to ensure everything moves as efficiently as possible. Aaro...

It is with a combination of gratitude and enthusiasm that I write a description of Aaron Seawood: an intuitive, smart and extraordinary real estate guide…I use the term “guide” because he is so much more than a broker. Aaron’s holistic approach encompasses a firm, deep knowledge of the market, trends, financial forecasts and its impact on pricing and his the client (both personally and in relation to their goals). Aaron expertly uses this foundation as he diligently and sometimes mira...

We were using another broker and our apartment didn't sell for 100+ days and then we switched to Team Carte Blanche. Within 4 days we had an offer at asking and we were in contract shortly after. Shane and his team are incredible! Shane was quick to pivot our selling strategy and provided results immediately. He is creative, thorough, communicates seamlessly and has excellent follow up. Shane has a positive attitude and was supportive every step of the way. We would work with Shane and his team ...

Aaron Seawood was our hero when selling our coop. He knew how to prepare and market our unusual apartment to maximize its attraction. He also was very accessible and gave us great advice on how to process the transition from viewing our 20 year home to an asset to sell. He also was our broker when we bought our next home and was a protective advocate and guide. We benefitted as seller and buyer from his seriously great negotiating skills.

I had the absolute best experience working with Team Carte Blanche on the purchase of my condo. I could not recommend them enough as real estate advisors who are first of all people and are there to support and go the extra mile for you. Definitely one of the few teams that is so invested and caring for each of their clients individually. 100% recommend.

Aaron Seawood was amazing in our recent sell and purchase in Brooklyn, NY. We met him at an open house that we attended, and though weren't interested in that apartment, liked him and remembered him so significantly that we called him up independently when we found the apartment we DID want to buy a few months later. Aaron negotiated both the sell of our apartment in the Clinton Hill Co-Ops, and the buy of a new condominium on Lafayette Avenue. He negotiated them concurrently, and did an incr...

My Husband and I were referred to Aaron by a friend whose recommendation we knew we could trust and from the start it was clear what a talented, capable, and knowledgeable person he is. Aaron worked with us for months, driving us to properties, helping us vet sellers, making sure that we had every piece of information we could possibly want and then some. He made a very complex and stressful process so much more manageable and at times I honestly don't know what we would have done without his...

My wife and I stumbled across Aaron in the midst of our hunt for our first apartment. We had made our own tentative forays on our own but were quickly beginning to realize we needed professional help to navigate the insanity that is Brooklyn real estate. To say Aaron was sensational is the understatement of the century. I honestly don't have words to describe how much he did for us. He saved us from what would have been a really bad deal on a place we were smitten with. He found us a dozen ...

Aaron recently sold my Manhattan apartment, and after years of working together, this latest experience solidified my view that Aaron is truly one of the top brokers in New York. Working in real estate myself, I experience a lot of different types of brokers, from their personalities, to their ethics, to their ability to close. Aaron gets the highest marks in all categories. With his analytical research of market data, I was able to have an intelligent conversation regarding pricing strategy ...

Aaron and his associates were wonderful. My husband and I knew where we wanted to purchase an apartment. He found us the perfect apartment and walk us through the coop application and interview. He even added support at the closing when the management company had a problem with the seller remaining in the apartment for a bit.

I worked with Aaron when my wife and I moved to NYC during job transitions for both of us. So we had a lot going on and needed effective and efficient help to get us settled in a place that suited us. As with most apartment hunters we wanted as much space as possible, in the best location for the lowest price. Plus we had an old dog that could not walk up and down stairs. You can also throw into the mix an unrealistic expectation of quality of construction and finishes. Instead of telling us tha...

Aaron Seawood is a fantastic real estate advisor. He is honest, thorough, reliable, and really knows his territory. He sold my home in Brooklyn and talked me down from the ceiling more than once. I would never have made it through the process without Aaron. I cannot say enough good things about him, but I can try. Aaron went so far above and beyond to help me sell my home. He was handyman, my decorator, my faithful listener, and so much more. It was a big move for me (leaving NYC afte...

We would like to apprise you of the excellent service we received from our broker, Aaron Seawood. Mr. Seawood went above and beyond the norm in what proved to be a difficult, drawn out process due to the incompetence of certain individuals associated with this transaction. Had it not been for Aaron's perseverance we shudder to think what might have happened. For a cash sale to take over two months is unheard of but this might never have come to fruition had it not been for his skillful tenaci...

Aaron Seawood is a lot of things: knowledgable, experienced, genuine, charismatic, suave, funny, smart, empathetic and extremely down to earth. I've only had experience with one other broker (the one I used before thankfully switching to Seawood) and Aaron is NOT a typical salesy broker - in other words, he is not the type of guy who would pressure you to buy a place so that he can collect commission. In fact, he discouraged me from buying several places I was considering putting offers in on -...

Aaron Seawood is by far the best broker in New York City. I have worked with Aaron on multiple occasions over the past 6 years (finding a spacious 4 bedroom with 3 roommates, finding a fantastic brownstone UWS studio and most recently an amazing studio off Central Park West). He is dedicated to not just finding you an apartment, but the one that works uniquely best for you as your home and within your budget. Aaron is highly knowledgeable and well-known in his field which sets you apart from eve...

I’d call Aaron Seawood the Rolls Royce of real estate advisors, which he is, but that’s a bit misleading because he’s also hands-on with physical help when needed, and emotional support which people so often need when they’re taking the step of selling their home. Hands on, heart on, wisdom on. Aaron Seawood turns the business of selling real estate into an art. Written from Paris because we have been able to move to France with the help from Aaron.

On first meeting Aaron, we immediately felt comfortable with his warm personality. He is definitely a people person, and it was very easy to discuss our selling situation which was complicated to say the least. No one wants to shell out extra money for the sale of their home, however, working with Aaron took the stress away from us and we did not have to deal with any hassles. With Aaron’s guidance and expertise, he made the selling process practically seamless. When it came down to the finer ...

Meeting Aaron was the best thing that could have happened to our apartment search. When Aaron found my husband and me, we were floundering around the New York City real estate market, trying unsuccessfully to find a home that would both fit our budget and our lifestyle. As first time buyers, we were lost in a sea of real estate sharks, inflated prices, and cash buyers. Aaron took us under his wing and spent months with us, walking us through the process, attending open houses, assessing comparab...

Aaron Seawood worked with me for the sale of my brownstone at 391 Park Place in Prospect Heights Brooklyn, which we closed back in Feb. I have to say he far exceeded my expectations in every aspect of his services that led to the sale of my property. We used to live in our 391 Park Place brownstone but had to move to Asia back in 2013 when Aaron first helped me with placing a tenant into our triplex. Following his great advice, we were able to achieve the best possible rental rate in the market....

Aaron Seawood is hands down the best broker I've used since I've lived in Manhattan (10 years and 5 different apartments). When we were looking for a rental, he worked tirelessly to find us exactly what we wanted - we didn't have to compromise on anything including price. Aside from being a super likeable, sincere guy he has amazing relationships with owners and other brokers so the process was completely STRESS FREE. I've referred him to numerous friends who have also had a similar experience. ...
