Apryl Elizabeth Hand

Apryl was recommended to us by our Realtor, and after one conversation we knew she would be out attorney. She helped us buy our first home in Brooklyn. We couldn't have been less prepared for the roller coaster. Our deal was complicated, but Apryl helped us through every step and explained everyth...ing to us in language we could understand. She is patient, kind, blunt, scrappy, and hilarious. Apryl has a gift for putting overly complicated legal jargon into blunt, everyday language that we understood. I would definitely recommend Apryl Hand to anyone in the Real Estate market. She is the best!

We thought when our offer was accepted that we had made it through the hardest part of buying an apartment in Brooklyn. As first time buyers, we were now in even less familiar territory (they don’t show these parts on HGTV afterall) and we needed trustworthy advice. Apryl was wonderful throughout the... entire process – from the moment I reached out she was very forthcoming about the each step of the process/timelines/financial expectations and provided helpful guidance on what to look for in a mortgage provider. She speaks in lay terms (no lawyer jargon here!), is very direct and will patiently answer your questions, all while maintaining her easy going demeanor and humor. However, what I valued most was that you can tell she has been through it all – she would let us know what is standard, unusual, or a red flag. We encountered a few abnormal experiences with the mortgage/appraisal process, and even had to delay the closing due to a leak that caused damage to our apartment – Apryl ensured things ran as smooth as possible through all of this and built in long-term financial protections related to the damage. I have already recommended her to several of my friends!

My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Apryl's services. She represented us recently when we bought an apartment and was--truly--the single saving grace of an otherwise horrific experience. She went above and beyond to make sure we understood all of the technicalities of the process, never hesitating... to jump on the phone at a moment's notice. She was extremely patient with our many questions sent via email, and consistently sent clear and detailed responses (they were often immediate.) Most of all, we appreciated Apryl's wit--real estate in New York is brutal, and anyone who can infuse some fun into the process is worth their weight in gold. Apryl's the best. Hire her with confidence!

Outstanding experience with Apryl ! We sold our studio apartment in NYC last January, and the entire process was flawless. Recommended by a friend lawyer on Long Island, Apryl was professional, knowledgeable,friendly, efficient and reasonable in terms of her closing costs. She is easily accessible..., and responds readily to phone calls, emails, texts, etc. In addition, she has a great personality and a great sense of humor ! Without any reservations whatsoever, we absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs to navigate the rough business of real estate closing in NYC. Trust us: she will get you to finish line stress-free ! 5 stars on all accounts!
