Client Testimonials
“ Noble Black and his team were smart, collaborative and didn’t put a foot wrong throughout the whole process. They moved with great efficiency to produce beautiful up-front materials and ensured that our loft looked the very best for photographs and for visits by potential buyers. They communicated flawlessly throughout, negotiated expertly and gave us great confidence. With this quality of performance, it wasn’t a surprise that we had an agreed offer for the apartment within 5 days of the first open house — and only 2 weeks after first meeting Noble. On top of selling our apartment, they also helped us find an ideal rental for the remainder of the year that we will be in NYC. They were brilliant and a pleasure to work with — we would recommend the Noble Black Team to anyone.”
— SIMON WILLIAMS FOUNDER & CEO, STERLING BRANDS
