TESTIMONIALS
A Trusted Partner Through Every Chapter
"I first met Beau over 20 years ago when I was buying my very first property. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainties, but Beau’s calm expertise, patience, and deep market knowledge of every corner of NYC gave me total confidence that I was in good hands. That initial purchase turned out to be the beginning of a long and successful partnership.
Over the years, Beau has managed the property with the same integrity and attention to detail—placing reliable tenants, ensuring smooth transitions, and managing tenant requests–while always looking out for my best interests. Whether it was the need for quick turnarounds or navigating a challenging rental market period, I always felt supported.
Most recently, when it came time to sell, I knew there was no one else I’d trust with the process. As always, Beau handled every step with professionalism and care, managing all details, and delivering a great result.
What stands out most is Beau’s consistency. Through market ups and downs, changing needs, and my own evolving goals, he’s been a steady, trustworthy guide. I couldn’t recommend him more highly."

"It’s been difficult for me to write about Beau because I have come to think so highly of him that I worried anything I wrote would sound exaggerated. However, phrases like 'exceptional, 'brilliant,' and 'remarkable' aren’t hyperbolic when it comes to Beau. He truly is all of those things and more. Beau is hands down the best broker I’ve ever worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few). Not only is he knowledgeable and experienced, he is incredibly intelligent. He is an expert strategic thinker and excellent creative problem solver. When you combine these traits with his tireless dedication, you get something truly out of the ordinary. And in my case, I needed someone who was better than good to get the job done. Because of a complicated situation in my building, I worried that I wouldn’t be able to sell my coop. In fact, I had neighbors who wanted to sell their units but they didn’t think it was possible given the building’s circumstances. Beau navigated the challenges with the sale masterfully. I genuinely believe no one else could have done what he did. I’m not sure anyone else would have been patient enough, much less skilled enough to handle that sale! And did I mention that before I sold my place, Beau helped me through an entire remodel from start to finish? To say that he went 'above and beyond' doesn’t begin to cover what he did for me. Again, this will sound like a hyperbole, but I don’t think I can express how grateful I am to Beau for everything he did for me during this sale. Not only is he a superb broker, Beau is a genuinely good human being. After being in NYC for years, I’ve unfortunately become fairly jaded about working with people. Beau earned my trust and if you’re lucky enough to work with him he will earn yours too. After reading the testimonials on his website, you may be wondering whether he is 'too good to be true.' But believe me, if you work with him, you’ll find yourself lining up to sing his praises just like the rest of his clients."

“I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Beau, who came highly recommended by a friend in the mortgage industry. My experience with him as a real estate agent was truly exceptional, exceeding all expectations...He skillfully managed every aspect of the process, from staging to coordinating showings to liaising with the building's management company. His profound knowledge of the area and his adept understanding of the market, especially in the face of high-interest rates, proved invaluable.
It's important to note that there were two apartments in my building that had languished on the market for over a year with no success. In stark contrast, Beau attracted offers within just a few weeks, and the momentum never waned. He even went the extra mile by assisting the buyer's agent with the board package to ensure it was handled correctly.
As the closing date approached, Beau meticulously ensured that everything was in perfect order for the final walkthrough, despite my inability to be there in person due to my health. His constant communication provided me with regular updates on the progress of the transaction, which was both reassuring and greatly appreciated.
With 18 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I've heard my fair share of horror stories about real estate agents. However, my experience with Beau couldn't have been further from that. If you find yourself looking to sell your home in a challenging market with fierce competition, consider yourself fortunate to have Beau Nova by your side. I've already referred him to a friend, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any friend or family member in need of an outstanding realtor.
Beau is unquestionably at the pinnacle of his profession."

"I first met Beau Nova when he was the listing broker for the apartment I purchased. Even though we were on opposite sides of the transaction, I was impressed with his market knowledge and the ease of working with him. So, when it came time for me to sell, I immediately chose Beau to represent me. Beau did everything to prepare the apartment for sale, as I was living out of state. The apartment was beautifully staged and photographed and he had a multitude of showings immediately upon listing. It was during Covid, which made things challenging, but Beau expertly handled all the safety protocols and procedures. We received a full price offer almost immediately! He also handled repairs and inspections and went above and beyond what a broker would normally do. His commitment and dedication to closing the sale was impressive. I highly recommend Beau Nova. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and gets the job done."

"We first contacted Beau several years ago when we were thinking about selling our co-op. He was very informative about the entire process and continued to stay in touch with us for years, sending his data driven market updates frequently. When we were ready to sell, he advised us about pricing, staging and preparing for sale. He handled the pre-sale details, including excellent photography, with skill and professionalism. We had an interested buyer almost immediately after listing and he managed the sale process thoroughly, with full awareness of our needs as well as those of the buyer and the requirements of the co-op. Beau has a winning personality and is a highly ethical, knowledgeable and motivated professional. He is a total pleasure to work with and we feel very fortunate to know him."
“I could cut to the chase and just say that Beau Nova found the perfect buyer for my father’s condominium, but I would not be doing justice to Beau’s brand of superlative service.
​
When Beau first came to view the condo, it was a mess. It was filled to the brim with stuff and hadn’t been renovated in over 25 years. Beau was able to see through all of that to the great bones and outlined the process so that we could take the necessary steps.
​
First, he recommended contractors to bid on the work that would need to be done to the condo, while we cleared it out and got it ready. Once the contractor began, Beau’s knowledge and expertise were invaluable. His advice on what was important to renovate and what wasn’t necessary was vital. We really couldn’t have done it without him! Beau was creative, but cost-conscious, which meant that we put our renovation and staging investment to the best possible use. His input saved us thousands of dollars and created tremendous overall value to the property. With his recommendations we were able to take that condo from frumpy to fabulous (our family and friends couldn’t believe how beautiful the apartment looked).
​
And the final proof is that he found us the perfect buyer. Within a month, we got an all cash offer at our asking price – which was substantially higher than we had originally planned to ask for, before we had received the benefit of Beau’s staging and renovation advice.
​
Throughout all of this, Beau’s unflagging positivity, his attention to detail and his unmatched professionalism made it a pleasure to work with him. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. And by the way, we got this done during the pandemic."

“We had a great experience with Beau. Not only did he get us above the asking price for our coop, he also calmly and professionally steered us through a number of unforeseen circumstances during the process of our sale. Would highly and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone! “

“Beau was a pleasure to work with! Throughout the process of selling my coop, Beau went above and beyond what I would have ever expected from a broker. And even in a tough market, he was able to get my place sold quickly. He is always professional and just a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Beau to anyone looking to sell their apartment in New York.

"I spent months trying to sell my apartment on my own, and all I received for my troubles were a bunch of low offers from unrealistic and unqualified buyers. Beau was able to sell my place for far more than I ever thought possible. My only regret is that I didn't meet him sooner. The next time I have a property to sell, I know who to call. Thanks again Beau."

​“Beau Nova was professional from the day we met him...we had recently listed our UWS apartment “for sale by owner.” Beau came by during one of our open houses, made some helpful suggestions and, unlike several other brokers who also visited us, was not pushy. We persevered in our FSBO attempt, but ultimately took our apartment off the market. Five years later, with renewed motivation, we decided we would work with a broker to maximize the chances of a successful sale. We immediately reached out to Beau, who was quick to point out the little things we should do to make our listing more attractive. He worked promptly to meet our schedule, and was a loyal advisor when the offers came in. He was precise in his review of the buyers’ package, mindful of the coop board’s requirements, and worked diligently with the building’s managing agent. It is without any hesitation that we heartily recommend Beau Nova. New York City is a complicated real estate market, but Beau knows it very well and is great to work with!”

"I hired Beau to sell my apartment after offering it as a sale-by-owner for a few months. Literally within weeks, Beau delivered a buyer and we closed shortly afterwards virtually right at the asking price....I highly recommend Beau!"

“I originally tried to sell on my own, but couldn’t get the price I wanted. Then I hired a broker, and he couldn’t get it done either. Finally, I hired Beau, and right from the beginning I was impressed by both his market knowledge and marketing expertise. In fact, Beau had more people come to his first open house than my last broker had the entire four months he had the listing. I speak from experience when I say all brokers are not the same. If you are thinking about selling your apartment, give Beau a call, you won’t be disappointed.”

"Beau sold our place in no time. Not only did he price our property to perfection, he patiently explained the marketing process and how to position our property to get the highest sales price. Thanks Beau, it has been a real pleasure..."

"Beau helped us sell our home shortly after the Lehman collapse. The market was terrible, and it seemed like everyone was trying to get the deal of the century! Beau sold our home for 10% more than any other offer we received prior to hiring him. Thank you Beau, we couldn't have done it without you!"
- Amy Langdon and Bill Hirtz

"Thanks for everything Beau. You Rock."
