Comment: This review is overdue as Ryan and Stephanie sold our house back in January. It was a sensitive time selling my fathers house after his passing and even more sensitive considering the first realtor I hired completely botched everything. Then I found Ryan and Stephanie. They were amazing in each and every component of selling the house. Just stop your realtor search and hire them.

Comment: Stephanie and Ryan were amazing to work with! They are super chill people who youd want to be friends with and are also kind of amazing at their jobs. Every house we looked at as if Ryan were purchasing for himself and he will give you his brutal honest opinion on each one. No time wasted here! They are always available to answer any questions and guided us every step of the way through closing. Ive already recommended them to my family as well.

Comment: We cannot underscore enough how wonderful Stephanie and Ryan are, and how appreciative we are for the close attention they have given us over the years. They are trustworthy, reliable and patient real estate brokers, who always had our best interest at heart from guiding us through our first co-op purchase in 2016, to the sale of the co-op and the purchase of a single-family home 6 years later. They provided invaluable service every step of the way - from preparing and updating board packages when we were purchasing, to ensuring great (and safe!) turnout for the sale of our co-op for our open house during COVID, to helping us find our forever home in a very crazy housing market! They have a solid network of experts to help along the way - and were able to recommend a great attorney, lending institution, meticulous inspector, as well as trusted recommendations for various contractors along the way. They are thorough when looking at potential homes to purchase, asking the right questions that we wouldn’t even think to ask, with a solid understanding of construction, as well as electrical, plumbing, gas, and water systems. They were always highly responsive over text, email and phone – giving us so much personal attention despite having many other clients they were working with at the same time. Would highly recommend their services to potential buyers and sellers – you will not be disappointed!

Comment: I give my highest recommendation for FILO real estate. Steph at FILO has been a godsend for someone like me to navigate the maze of home buying. As a first time home buyer I went into this process with no idea what I was doing. What I have learned over these past few months is that in a rapidly changing market like this, the most important thing is moving forward with someone with expertise who you can trust to help you make decisions.Steph and Ryan and her team have well over a decade of experience navigating the New York City terrain; when I showed her apartments I liked she was able to pick out everything from terrible parking areas to good kitchen layouts. I brought my father, a contractor, to a few showings and she could go beat for beat with him on points he made on restructuring the apartments. He even threw in a test question about a pricey option for construction and she saw right through it, immediately knowing there was a less expensive option. When I found an apartment that I thought was a great match for me, Steph found an even BETTER apartment in the same complex with parking that had not been shown yet, launching me ahead of the bidding wars that everyone else has had to deal with. The lender that she works with, Phil, is swift and honest, and was able to match my lowest rate within the day I got the quote. Her attourney is very personable and thorough, which I appreciated with the complications of the management company I was working with.Steph has an eye for detail and a gift for communication with people. She is someone who you will be grateful to have on your side. She is never pushy, always professional and is someone who truly wants to help you find the perfect home, as opposed to others who see their clients as walking dollar signs. I have recommended her to everyone I know and look forward to the day when I am ready to move from apartment to house with FILO again.

Comment: Ryan and Steph are amazing realtors. We were very fortunate to have them help us find our new home on Long Island. We were first time home buyers and needed all the hand-holding and expertise possible, especially during the COVID pandemic. Ryan and Steph were super knowledgeable and competent (Ryan knows his stuff – when he walks through a house, there’s nothing that he misses or doesn’t have an answer). They were extremely patient, honest, and understanding during what turned out to be a year-long search process. They never once pressured us (they assured us to take our time and follow our hearts), but equipped us with all the facts and knowledge to make the best decision for our family. When negotiating on our behalf, they never chose the easier path, and we always felt that they had our best interest at heart. Due to their years of experience and many contacts (attorney, inspector, banker, etc.), they also made the entire process smooth and easy. We couldn’t have asked for better advocates/partners for one of the most important decisions for our family. Words cannot adequately convey our gratitude and appreciation for them. Steph and Ryan, thank you again for all your dedication, sage advice, and patience from start to finish!

Comment: Stephanie has done a great job for me to purchase an apartment at bayside, I like her smile, professional work, immediate response and knowledge of the local real estate. She even gave me a lot of ideas like renovation, profession cleaning....etc after the closing. If anyone of my friends ever needs a realtor, I am going to recommender her name and I would definitely recommend Stephanie from Filo Real Estate Group

Comment: For anyone looking for a great broker or firm who is an expert in New York real estate I would highly recommend FILO. Ryan and his partner Stephanie are extremely knowledgeable in New York real estate, they put client experience over everything and they are the most HONEST and PASSIONATE professionals that you’ll ever met. When my wife and I started looking to purchase our first home we looked high and low for a great broker and what we found ourselves doing is the job of a broker and after almost a year we’re referred to FILO. They say the best form of marketing is word of mouth and we got word of how amazing the entire FILO family was through a great friend. After meeting and speaking with Ryan for the first time I knew Ryan could make anything happen. Ryan not only guided us but he made sure to explain everything every step of the way so much that I now feel like a qualified broker and In life they say you should alway have a great lawyer, doctor and accountant. I think you should also have a reliable, HONEST, client first power house behind you and that’s what The FILO family brings to the table. Thank you Ryan and Stephanie for an amazing experience and seamless one. I look forward to selling my home with you in the future and purchasing my next home as well. FILO is a family not just your average real estate firm. I believe the “F” in FILO should stands for family because that is how your treated.

Comment: Steph and Ryan have been amazing through every step of our first time home-buying experience.Navigating the housing market during the COVID19 pandemic has definitely had its challenges but from the very first virtual tour to our in-person closing, Steph and Ryan made the entire process seamless. We greatly appreciated their knowledge, experience, responsiveness and complete honesty. Steph set up appointments for us, walked us through the paperwork, and ran numbers for us to make sure we were making the best offers. Ryan was very knowledgeable in all areas of the house and provided valuable insights into the condition of the home and how much work would be involved if we chose to buy that home. It was obvious that they cared more about making sure that we were happy in our home than making an easy sale. Its rare to find such genuine and honest agents! Were so grateful to work with such a phenomenal team and would highly recommend them to any future home buyers.

Comment: My wife and I started searching for our first home by ourselves a couple of years ago and did not have much luck in the beginning. We were recommended to Stephanie by our banker and coincidentally, we ran into Stephanie at one of the open houses that she was showing and thought she was very knowledgeable and professional.We started working with her and she made the process very smooth and easy as first time home buyers. She was very patient, honest and transparent during the entire home buying process. She would take the time to get a sense of what we were looking for in a house and made sure to do the research. As she was showing us properties, she was very personable and it definitely shows that she knew her stuff and she was able to offer great insights. She was always responsive when we had questions and was with us at every step during the closing process. Overall, we thought Stephanie was very personable, responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. We appreciate all she has done for us throughout the process.We definitely recommend Stephanie and FILO real estate for anyone that is looking for a real estate agent. You’ll definitely be in great hands!

Comment: I am extremely grateful to have been recommended FILO real estate, by a previous client of theirs.Both Stephanie and Ryan are phenomenal at what they do! As a first time home buyer you can only imagine all the questions we had; Stephanie was on top of it every step of the way with updates and helping in any way she could. Ryan is a wealth of information (very handy when you’ve never owned a home and aren’t familiar with pretty much the entire inner workings of a home); He was able to point out things through every walk through (virtual and in person). We were able to find a perfect home thanks to all their help and knowledge!If you’re looking for your dream home and great people to help you every step of the way, don’t hesitate! Give them a call!

Comment: My husband and I were in the Buying/Selling Market for more than a year and have met so many real estate agents during that time. We were selling the coop in Queens and my previous agent quit after the first deal died. We were very stressed out and desperately needed help.We met Stephanie McNeil thru the referral and she helped us selling the coop higher price than the first deal in the end. She was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She guided us to make right decisions and made sure everything go smooth through out the process.Not to mention, she did excellent job for photos and 3D video that as if you were in the property. She really knows what to highlight and how to make the property more appealing to buyers.Stephanie McNeil is simply the best and my husband I are highly recommend her. We will definitely work with her again in the future.

Comment: I recently purchased my first home with Ryan. He is an incredible agent. I worked with him for a couple of years before finally finding the home I wanted to purchase. He is patient, incredibly knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile. He was on my side every step of the way and I always felt like I could trust his expertise to help me make the right decision. I highly recommend working with Ryan and Filo for anyone looking to buy a home!

Comment: The home buying and selling process can be super stressful, especially as a working couple with a baby! When we began this process, it was important for us to find ONE broker to coordinate both selling our coop and helping us find our first home. From the first time we met Stephanie and Ryan, we liked their streamlined approach for the whole process. It was clear to us they did not want to waste any of our limited time. Stephanie mapped out their strategic coop selling process on the expected timelines and Ryan had a wealth of knowledge guiding us through every single open house. They helped us make an educated decision by pointing out red flags and future resale issues with every property. Ultimately, it was their attention to detail that brought us back to a house we saw on Day 1 whos price dropped a month later! As for the coop - they took a very strategic and aggressive approach in listing the coop for sale. Our coop photos looked amazing and our first open house brought in over 40 people. They took time to vet potential coop buyers to ensure they would be approved by the coop board and negotiated a full-ask sale price for us! We received 5 competitive offers and were in contract within 2 weeks of listing! The entire process couldnt have gone any smoother. We highly recommend Filo Real Estate and are so grateful to have worked with them to achieve this milestone in our lives. Thanks so much Stephanie and Ryan!

Comment: If you reading this, please do not search any further for another real estate representative.We signed for Ryan to be our agent/representative and we never looked back. Friendly and yet professional. He truly earned his commission (how often does one hear that for a real estate agent?) His entire organization works seamless doing all the worrying for you and if needed lots of hand holding. His knowledge and work ethic really makes the process painless and as easy as can be.I can not praise him and his entire organization enough.THANK YOU

Comment: When we started our home search in 2018 we were very green We had no idea of what kind of house we wanted, where we wanted to live or what realtor we were going to use. We really didnt have much time to research agents so I went with my gut and gave Ryan a shot. He was very responsive, professional and always prepared to show us homes. It was a such a pleasure working with Ryan because he was easy, knowledgeable, honest and not pushy like so many agents can be. In the rare occasion I couldnt reach Ryan, I would simply call the office and speak with Stephanie who was wonderful as well.After a few shorts months, Ryan found us the perfect home and we couldnt be happier. That you Filo for making our home search and purchase a very enjoyable process.

Comment: My husband and I have worked with Ryan and Stephanie twice: once when we purchased our co-op four years ago and the second when we bought our home this year. They are reliable, wonderful, down-to-earth people. Ryan has a sixth sense when it comes to homes and can knock on a wall and determine if theres mold and can smell the BS on sellers. They are not the car salesmen type to push a home on you and will always work hard to make sure that you find the right home. They helped us find our dream home! Youll love them!

Comment: Ryan and Stephanie are amazing. This review will not do them justice as we can not say enough good things about them. Stephanie scheduled all the viewings seamlessly throughout our 4 month search. Ryan was exceptionally thorough, proactive, a thoughtful problem solver, incredibly responsive and was always professional. He has good intuition, great taste and a wealth of experience and knowledge with regards to building materials, structure, layout, neighborhoods, and renovation ideas with ball park cost estimates that came in very useful as we considered a great many houses over the course of several months. There was never any pressure as he patiently helped us through the entire process from beginning to closing negotiations at the end while keeping our best interests in mind. Ryan and Stephanie are absolutely who you want to have in your corner, looking out for you as you go through the stressful process of searching for and closing on the right home. It doesn’t end there either, he has continued to be a responsive resource and support for one off housing and reno related questions that we have. If ever we move again, we will be counting on Ryan and Stephanie for both the sale of this home and purchase of the next. We would highly recommend FILO Real Estate Group to absolutely everyone.

Comment: I honestly cannot say enough about Ryan and Stephanie. We had to sell my fathers home quickly, and it was not in the best of shape. They essentially coordinated every aspect and made things SO much easier for us. They recommended reputable vendors and an attorney- and as we lived 45 minutes away, were available at every hour to let them into the property. They strategized to get us the best price with timing on the market and consideration of other concurrent sales in the area. These guys are down to earth, reliable, smart and totally awesome. Cant imagine a better team- Im keeping in touch, because theyll be my first choice next time we buy or sell a home.

Comment: As cautious, first-time home buyers, my husband and I spent over two weeks selecting our agent. Among 6 agents we considered, Ryan at FILO stood out the most: he was knowledgeable, honest, patient, and professional. We couldnt have found better.The whole process from introducing ourselves to closing on the house took 8 months. Ryan listened and understood our needs and goals--a long-term house where we can settle down and raise our daughter. He was always on time, communicated promptly and clearly, and thoroughly explained pros/cons of each house we viewed. He also taught us a great deal about the buying process. If we felt hesitant about a house, he never pressured us to make an offer. With each offer we made, he told us what to expect (turned out to be correct) and made sure we werent over-bidding. Once we found THE house and our offer was accepted, Ryan and his team helped us to make sure all the paperwork, inspection, and closing went smoothly.Ryan and Stephanie are not only dedicated realtors but also fun to work with. Not sure how many people can say the same about their realtors! I definitely recommend FILO and will go back to them if I need another real estate transaction.

Comment: Ryan and Stephanie were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They made a difficult process a lot more tolerable and stuck with us through some difficult times. They were honest and trustworthy, and much better than anyone else we came across during our housing hunt. They were easy to work with, and extremely responsive. We have already recommended them to some friends and will continue to do so. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in NYC.

Comment: Ryan was an amazing resource throughout the entire process of buying my first Co-op in Jackson Heights. Upon meeting Ryan at an open house, he was always available for questions and recommendations. He was able to find the perfect home for my needs and get me in to see it first. Even when the closing process took an exorbitant amount of time, due to the estate being held up in a lengthy probate court situation, Ryan was always there to get information and assure me everything would be ok. I could not have asked for a better experience and recommend you reach out to him and FILO for their expertise, professionalism, and support.

Comment: My wife and I just closed on a house through FILO Realty. I cannot express how great it was to work with Ryan and Stephanie. Their knowledge, their patience, and their sense of humor made home-buying a pleasure and something we could feel confident about, which is not something I can say for every agent we met in our home-buying process. We are first time buyers, we were nervous, but Ryan and Stephanie supported us and never pressured us and allowed us to take our time. It was a delight and I would and will gladly work with them again!

Comment: Speaking from a first homebuyers perspective there are so many unknowns and its a long, scary, and tedious process. We reached out to many agents and Ryan immediately stood out as someone that you could trust and that would make us a priority.We are so appreciative to Ryan and Stephanie for taking the time to look at places with our busy schedules for MONTHS until we found a home we loved. For a first time homebuyer we didnt feel rushed into anything and Ryan was always patient and helpful. He would also give us objective and knowledgeable information during each showing about the home we were looking at from top to bottom. After we closed Ryan and Stephanie checked in periodically to see how we were doing. They truly care about their clients and we would highly recommend them to others. Going with Ryan was the best decision ever.

Comment: Ryan McNeil, Founder and CEO of FILO, made my dream apartment possible! I met with a few agents before I met Ryan, and was concerned about finding a good agent (as they are especially key for handling coop and condo applications). Ryan immediately stood out. He was always professional, kind and extremely dedicated throughout the whole process. Even when viewing apartments, he took the time to point out key details that a buyer should know. Him and his wife are super detail-oriented and I always felt they had my best interests in mind. I cant recommend Ryan enough! Im so happy with my apartment and I owe it to him!
