The Hillel Team from Compass transformed 2025 into an "annus mirabilis" for my husband and me. After nine months of unsatisfactory experiences with other real estate agencies, Hillel Team seemed to have fallen from the sky to sell our studio in just over a month! From the beginning, Hillel Fried himself attended to all our requests above and beyond our expectations. And agent Julie Owen's dedication to potential buyers was remarkable (we would say she "worked her butt off" to close the sale). Both understood the sentimental value our studio had for an old East Village couple and, therefore, sold it for the price we asked and in record time. We can only thank them both and congratulate Compass on the competence of this team.
Hillel found us our dream apartment. He is always available and goes above and beyond his job. He won’t stop until you find what you want. His knowledge of the market and so many little details earns him a 6 out of 5 rating (essentially an A+).
This spring I had the pleasure of working with Hillel Fried. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon him early on in my search for a home in NYC and quickly enlisted him as my agent. He dedicated serious time and miles in my search. He took time to get to know me so that he could best advise which properties would be a good match. As we looked at each property, he had a sharp eye for pros/cons and he drew my attention to these features. Hillel has in depth knowledge of real estate in NYC and he also knows the neighborhoods very well. He truly is driven to pair people with a home that they will love. He thoroughly searched comparables to make sure we negotiated a good, fair deal. He is a perfect professional with a warm, personable demeanor. I highly recommend Hillel.
Hillel Fried is a great professional, who over a period of a few weeks became a very close friend and guide to my wife and I, even as we searched for a Manhattan apartment for ourselves. For starters, this was no easy task because we were just returning from an overseas assignment, I was transiting to a retirement of sorts, and our financial affairs were, to put it mildly, in some disarray! We came upon HiIlel as we looked in on a co-op, having just been outbid on another where we were left feeling the realtor had let us down (showing not enough interest or energy on our behalf, and keeping us under-informed)y. Right from the start, Hillel struck us as extremely friendly, highly knowledgeable about the city and various streets and buildings, and more than willing to happily put in some serious hard work on our behalf .

Most importantly he turned out to be someone who cares deeply about the customer, going to great lengths to fully understand our needs and requirements, and providing a level of input and feedback that was absolutely spot on to manage our interests and anxieties. If anybody is looking for a high-energy, extremely friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable, never-give-up realtor who will go all out for them, Hillel is it!. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him in the strongest possible way.
