Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Choice Realty

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Barry Kramer and his team! From start to finish, Barry and John were professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. I couldn't be more appreciative and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional realtor!

Fantastic experience: Brian J. Egli accompanied my husband and me throughout our search for a home in Westchester. Over the course of several months, he showed us many options, sometimes even very early in the morning before we went to work. He was always extremely responsive, attentive, and genuinely listened to what we were looking for. Brian was incredibly generous with his time and went above and beyond to help us find the right home. We are very glad that we had the opportunity to work with him and are so happy to have closed on our house in Bronxville with his help. We highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a dedicated and thoughtful real estate agent.

Fantastic experience: There is a reason Barry Kramer and John Crittenden are consistently ranked among the top 1% of Westchester Realtors and are recognized leaders in Westchester co‑op sales. Their guidance and expertise were instrumental in bringing our recent real estate purchase to a successful close. From the very beginning, Barry took the time to truly understand our needs. He patiently showed us multiple properties, ultimately helping us find a wonderful co‑op on Garth Road. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care throughout the entire process were exceptional, and our family is deeply grateful. John—without question the most detail‑oriented professional I have ever met—was invaluable during the co‑op application phase. His thoroughness and organization turned what could have been an overwhelming process into a manageable one. Without his support, I suspect I would still be buried in paperwork. The team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Choice Realty exemplifies what it means to have true professionals in your corner, especially when challenges arise. When our transaction became complicated, Barry remained steady, solutions‑focused, and unwaveringly professional. He ensured the sale moved forward and ultimately got it done. We highly recommend Barry, John, Nikko, and the entire Choice Realty team to anyone seeking real estate services in Westchester, NY. Their expertise, integrity, and commitment to their clients are second to none.

Fantastic experience: Barry, John, and their team could not have been better. They made a very stressful situation (simultaneously buying and selling cooperative apartments) manageable. Their knowledge of the market resulted in pricing my coop in the sweet spot of getting a fair price without it lingering on the market and having to reduce the ask. Their photos were incredible and created a healthy interest in prospective buyers. Communication was excellent and I always knew what was going on, and they were available to answer all my questions. And because of their expertise with management and board requirements, I was able to submit an application for my new purchase that sailed through. Overall, I think they are a terrific team, and would work with them again.

Fantastic experience: Making the decision to purchase a co-op was one of the biggest choices of my life, and working with Brian truly helped me through the process. I really appreciated how thoughtful he is and the fact that he was always within reach. The help with organizing my documents for the co-op filing and communicating with the seller was invaluable. I would not only recommend their services to others, but I would also love to work with them again for any future real estate plans.

Fantastic experience: Working with Barry and John to sell our home was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the very first meeting, they came prepared, knowledgeable, and ready to guide us through every step of the process. Their expertise really showed—they explained everything clearly, offered smart and practical suggestions, and always made sure we felt comfortable and informed. What we appreciated most was how proactive they were. They gave us great ideas on how to prepare the home for showings, how to navigate decisions, and how to present our property in the best possible light. Whenever a question came up, they were quick to respond and always had helpful insights to keep things moving smoothly. Because of their professionalism, experience, and genuine care, the entire process felt so much easier and far less stressful than we expected. We truly felt supported the whole way through. We highly recommend Barry and John to anyone looking for reliable, experienced, and truly dedicated realtors. They exceeded our expectations in every way!

Fantastic experience: Realtor, Brian Egli, went above and beyond throughout the process of looking at properties, going to closing, and even after! His superlative knowledge of the community made finding the perfect home a pleasure! I am so grateful to have had the expertise of this agency and this realtor.

Fantastic experience: As a gay man, it was important to me to prioritize collaborating with an agent from the LGBTQ+ community. Discovering the NAGLREP directory and Brian was a blessing. From the beginning, Brian was professional, kind, and very responsive to our requests. His knowledge of the fast-moving, complicated Westchester housing market helped us find a great house that met all of our search criteria. Brian was patient as we learned the market ourselves and made himself available for all of our showing requests, some within 24 hours. After our offer was accepted, Brian was available to facilitate our home inspection and contractor walk-throughs prior to closing. We are very grateful to have had such a great ally on our side during this process!

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of working with Brian on two property purchase, one in 2019 and now in 2025, both on Garth Road. Both times we particularly valued both his positive approach and also his deep knowledge of what goes into co-op applications and purchases. He and his colleagues went above and beyond in helping us find a property that fit some pretty specific needs, and helping us have a successful application. I would definitely work with Brian and this office again, and happily recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Barry and John are a pleasure to work with. They are knowledgeable, responsive and very pleasant to deal with. They made selling our co-op a priority and their superior knowledge about our building and co-op board was particularly helpful.

Fantastic experience: There are realtors, and then there are Barry and John. These gentlemen who were not my realtors fought alongside me as I sought to purchase a co-op from their seller in Scarsdale. Dealing with co-op board requirements is no easy task. Yet these warriors fought alongside me until the closing. Thank you Barry and John. You helped me turn around the outcome from denial to ownership. The Greatest of All Time Realtors!!!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with brian. He was very professional and always helpful in every way. He always kept me aware of what was happening with the apt. I highly recommend him because he was excellent.

Fantastic experience: Barry and John have now helped us with the purchase of 3 co-ops and the sale of 2 of them, and as you may have guessed - if there is ever a 4th (heaven forfend!), yes, we would definitely go back to them. They are a pleasure to work with - professional, knowledgeable, and well connected in the Westchester realty world (actually, the New York State realty world). They really are partners during the entire real estate transaction, acting as an advocate, providing guidance, and lending support during the challenges that always occur. We HIGHLY recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Barry and John did a great job in listing my apartment. They created a virtual living room staging nicely to help the buyers see the great potential of my property.

Fantastic experience: After having worked with Barry and John on multiple homes, their level of support and professionalism has consistently exceeded my expectations. Their expertise in navigating through a complex co-op process proved invaluable. I highly recommend the team at BHGRE Choice Realty.

Fantastic experience: This is our third time working with Brian Egli from Better Homes and Gardens Choice Realty. There are a lot of real estate agents out there, but we would not have gone back to Brian repeatedly if we were not happy with the services provided. Each time we worked with Brian he made us feel like we were his only client (but we know he had many more!). Brian is extremely professional, very knowledgeable of the local market, answers multiple questions quickly and accurately. Brian communicated with us frequently and kept us up to date as we moved through the process for each transaction. As an organization, BHGCR handled all of our interactions well.

Fantastic experience: Barry and John are the best! We would like to thank Barry and John for their great help in buying and selling a co-op on Garth Road. They are very knowledgeable and were able to help us find the right co-op for our needs. They also helped us with various problems in selling the property, which allowed us to sell it at the right price. We highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I should have made this review a few years ago but I didn't think about it until I recently ran into our agent David who helped us sell my mother's condo in Hartsdale a couple years ago. David is always a pleasure to talk to and remembered my mother dearly. Unfortunately my mother passed away last year and David didn't know, he was so sad to learn about her passing and you could see he clearly cared. At the time David went above and beyond for my mom. My mother got much more than the asking price and we got multiple offers in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend both David and his office for not only their ability to sell but also the outstanding care and customer service they provided.

Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly, informative, I always felt they had my best interests in mind

Fantastic experience: Hi everyone, If you have a coop to sell, please don’t look for any other realtor. Barry and John are amazing!! I worked with 3 different realtors in 15 months to sell my coop studio. All those three realtors promised me that they would definitely sell it in a very short period of time. But they all wasted my time and money. The other realtors couldn’t succeed at all. I was so furious and disappointed. At the beginning, I thought that Barry and John would be similar to other realtors and they won’t be able to sell my studio neither. But I was wrong!! Barry and John sold it only in 6 weeks!! UNBELIEVABLE. They gave me great advice on the potential buyers who could be accepted or denied by the coop board. These guys are real Coop experts. No joke! I am planning to buy a private house, I will never ever work with another realtor, I will just call Barry and John. These guys rock!! I am so glad that I worked with them. Definitely highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: They are a very professional agency with very good customer service. Agent Brian Egli did an awesome job with the purchase of my new home.

Fantastic experience: The BHGR team was a pleasure to work with as my boyfriend and I went through the process of purchasing our first co-op! As first time homeowners, we were clueless to this extensive undertaking but Barry was very knowledgeable and helpful with the entire co-op process. From submitting our first offer, to navigating the application, all the way through to our closing, no question was too big or too small and Barry was only a text or call away. He and his team helped in reviewing and editing the lengthily application process (taking the time to sit with me and organize my confusing tax returns as an independent contractor) to set us up for a successful approval with the board. His responses were always precise and timely and he always made himself, or a colleague, available to answer any and all concerns throughout our co-op buying process. After submitting our application, Barry checked in regularly and was sure to alert us to any new information regarding our pending approval. At the end of this extensive journey, we successfully completed our closing and couldn’t be happier with our new home. Big thanks to BHGR for all of their knowledge, patience and diligence!!

Fantastic experience: I am grateful to the Kramer/Crittendon team for their friendly professionalism and top-notch expertise as agents for the sale of my cooperative apartment. They ensured a smooth and successful sales process, providing support and advice including useful guidelines and help in preparing the apartment for showing, a spot-on recommendation regarding the selling price, excellent photo, video and internet coverage, follow-up and easy availability for questions and guidance. They can easily be rated A-1.

Fantastic experience: Barry and John have a strong understanding of the multiple dynamics of seeking a home of your own. They have great expertise which they put it into practice for their clients. I appreciate having such robust, loyal and compassionate guidance. They hold steady until the end and stand by you!

Fantastic experience: Barry Kramer went above and beyond during my (successful) co-op buying process in Westchester. He was there to answer all of my questions, help me through my co-op application form, reach out to co-op management staff for updates on specific matters, and even drove out to a nearby town to retrieve a FedEx package containing important closing documents that wasn't being delivered to the closing due to there not being a suite number entered on the address. I am very grateful for the help and service I received from Barry and the team at Better Homes and Gardens - Choice, and highly recommend. Barry is also well known in the community so he and his team are valuable and recognized resources in the overall area.

Fantastic experience: John and Barry are a pleasure to work with. They are very professional and affable in all their dealings. You never feel alone as a client; they are readily available and responsive.

Fantastic experience: Right from the start, it was a pleasant experience. Brian was most helpful assisting every step of the way and informing us about every detail to make the transition smooth. I would highly recommend the services because the stress was minimized by the attentiveness and prompt response to questions. He is professional, friendly and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Barry and John were great and I highly recommend them. They made the entire process very easy and I could not be happier with their efforts in selling the apartment. Barry kept me up to date and was very insightful on how to manage both pricing and negotiating with offers. They really made a very stressful process, fairly stress free.

Fantastic experience: Customer service was top notch and the staff was very friendly, 10/10!!!

Fantastic experience: John Crittenden and Barry Kramer know the Garth RD housing market better than anyone else. As Garth RD residents they know every building very well, and really care about the neighborhood. This dynamic duo will guide you every step of the way. From offering guidance on the best market value of your home, staging your home to put your best foot forward, and to promote your home until it’s sold.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely phenomenal to work with. Fantastic customer service and attention to detail.

Fantastic experience: Really happy with their work. Great customer service !

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our Garth Rd. Co-op with Barry Kramer and John Crittenden. They were expert in everything from their knowledge of current market conditions to letting us know what needed doing to get the place ready to sell. They were each honest, trustworthy and delightful to work with as they guided us through the complicated process. We surely made the right decision in choosing them as our realtors and would highly recommend to anyone else requiring such services!

Fantastic experience: Buying a place in the current market it’s quite an undertaking - especially in a fine community such as Garth Road in Scarsdale! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eileen Taus who made sure the process was manageable on all fronts. Eileen is an experienced realtor with an incredible depth of knowledge about the world of Real Estate, the ins and outs of buying a CO-OP property as well as the Garth Road Community! She’s efficient, dedicated, very responsive and I can’t forget to mention her infectious sense of humor which surprisingly can come in handy when one is looking for that perfect place :) I would wholeheartedly recommend Eileen to anyone embarking on a property buying adventure and must give special mention to the entire team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Choice Realty for their excellent and professional service! Thank you Eileen for your guidance and support throughout this process - I couldn’t have done this without you!

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Brian J. Egli. Approximately one year ago I found the need to purchase a larger apartment due to a specific medical condition that I was dealing with. When making such an important decision, I wanted to work with someone that I could trust would make my needs a priority. Throughout, the past several months, Brian has been there every step of the way. He was always available to answer every call or email to ensure my concerns were addressed. His professionalism, knowledge and work ethic are very much appreciated. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for or selling a home. He was a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: Brian Egli was my agent when I purchased an apartment in Weschester. I found him to be on top of things, professional, knowledgeable, and quick to reply to any questions or requests. He kept a respectful and positive attitude from the beginning to the end of the process, even when we were struggling with the sellers. It was truly a pleasure having him as my agent. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Barry did a great job helping me sell me CoOp apartment in White Plains. I would definitely recommend him to others looking to sell their CoOp, he has a real corner on the market.

Fantastic experience: Westchester Choice Realty, especially our broker Barry Kramer, was a great help guiding us in selling our coopeartive apartment recently. Great advice, great follow up and always keeping us informed throughout each step. Professional, curteous and diligent. Highly recommend this realty company.
