Julia Shildkret Real Estate Group

We were looking at properties in Brooklyn and Alexandra Babekov has been able to find us a great deal on just what we were looking for and made the whole process easy and smooth. She is very knowledgeable, proactive and efficient.

My wife and I bought our first home in 2015. The listing agent, Alexandra Babekov, worked for Julia. While we didn’t have a relationship with her or her agency, she was extremely helpful throughout the process. Not only was Alexandra helpful in following up every step along the way and guiding us with realistic expectations on timing, she also referred us to a wonderful mortgage banker. The relationship allowed us to build trust with the banker and with Alexandra due to their honesty and support throughout the process. We would definitely recommend Alexandra and Robert to anyone and everyone that is in the market to buy or sell a home.

I had a please working with Alexandra Babekov. I was impressed by Alexandra’s efficiency, and time management skills. I was able to close less than a month.
During the time I have known Alexandra, she has shown me how energetic and enthusiastic person she can be.
I have the highest admiration for her achievements.
I strongly and thoughtfully advise anyone to consider working with Alexandra Babekov because of her accomplishments and quick potentials to close on your home.
Thank you Alexandra for your help to get my home. I love the house that I have.

I was interested in one of Julia Shildkret’s listings the whole process was outstanding from beginning to end. Her knowledgeable agent Alexandra Babekov made the whole experience very smooth and painless. I was able to get the house of my dreams with no stress or worries.

I had the pleasure of working with Alexandra Babekov to purchase my first home with my fiancé, and although she was hired by the seller, we felt as if she was representing us as well.
Alexandra was very helpful in walking us through all the necessary steps, and she was kind enough to recommend a great mortgage lender, Robert Yusupov, to help us with our first time home buying experience. She was very persistent and patient in working with both parties to compromise on unexpected house repairs required prior to closing.
I highly recommend Alexandra, you’ll be in good hands.
Thanks for making the stressful home buying process easier for us!

Alexandra she is great, Very patient and educated. We bought our first house from them! Good job Alexandra!

The rental recommended by the agent was in a horribly-​run building with a derelict super — despite assurances from the agent that «there were never any complaints.» Plus, the commission was a month-​and-​a-​half for that «work.»

Julia rents a Mr. Softee truck every year to give away free ice cream for publicity for her business. Today her ice cream truck parked in front of my house with about 25 adults & children lined up. They were running & trampling all over my lawn, sitting on my front lawn with dogs, doing cartwheels and eating on my front steps, as if they were in a park. Julia never asked me for permission to park on my property. This was outright trespassing. When I asked her to get control over her crowd, she blew me off. I had to stand outside for 40 minutes trying to control her crowd. She finally caught on and told the truck to move across the street.
Unbelievably rude and disrespectful!

Julia and her team made selling a house a relatively stress free experience. The were low key, professional and reliable. Julia delivered on all her promises. I would definitely recommend her to my friends looking to buy or sell in Queens.

My wife and I bought our first home in 2010. It was listed with Julia Shildkret’s office. The experience was so awful that we will probably go back to an apartment after this. The 2 agents we dealt with (Debbie and Irene) were rude, obnoxious and very deceitful. We can’t believe in how many ways we were taken advantage.
We definitely did not get what we were told we were getting.
We were given false information on everything from what would be included to the amount of the real estate taxes to what neighborhood the house is in!
When moving day came, the truck we were promised (Julia’s famous free truck) had 2 flat tires and we had to scramble to get a replacement (that wasn’t free).
When I contacted Julia to express my concerns about the behavior of her agents, she told me that they «bent over backwards to satisfy us». Was also told that they spent far more time with us than with most buyers.
This is an insane claim. We found the house on our own. They (unfortunately for us) just happened to be the listing broker. We came to see the house twice and then went into contract. If a buyer comes to a broker looking for a house, the broker may show them a couple dozen houses. So, how could they possibly spent more time with us than with others?
But that is the attitude one encounters from Julia and her agents.

My husband and I purchased our first home from Julia and team in 2010. We were VERY picky and after looking for as long as we did (I am embarrassed to say how long!) we found the perfect house! We acknowledged how specific we were and for the most part we saw an amazing assortment of houses, some Julia exclusives, and some that other brokers were offering. Lena, our broker, was honest about all sorts of details before we even got to see a listing just to open our eyes. When it came down to making final negotiations, Julia herself was speaking on our behalf as well as the seller and I could not have imagined the process going as smoothly as it did. Of course getting a mortgage was not easy, but that is another story. We are so happy and know that when we will be ready to sell Julia is the only person we would call!

Run the other way! I was appalled by the was this real estate company does business. They are RUDE, INEFFICIENT, AND DOWN RIGHT USELESS. I signed with them to sell my house and i regret it.
Take my advice NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use their services.
I would never be the one to write a review but their horrible practices motivated me to sign up on Unilocal and post a review.
