I absolutely, without reservation, highly recommend Vlaho. He is highly experienced. He is professional, always on time; is extremely knowledgeable about the market, and all aspects of the process, and his depth of understanding , from apartment search, to bidding to closing, is invaluable. He can anticipate where the potential bottlenecks are, and is proactive in trying to solve them. He is respectful, has a great sense of humor and even served as "therapist" when the transaction was getting stressful.

He even, when we were under a time crunch, offered to deliver and pick up documents, just so we could meet the deadlines! That sort of commitment is rare!

On top of that, he has an extensive network relating to the the entire transaction. Everyone he recommended to me is reliable and professional.

Purchasing a property is a complex transaction involving multiple parties, and understanding what their roles are. Buyers can easily get lost in this, and deals can fall apart. Vlaho knows what each party's role is, and interacts with them right away, to keep the deal going. He definitely 'saved' my deal by intervening, several times, to solve the issue. You want someone like Vlaho on your side, who can guide you through this. I say again, I highly recommend Vlaho. You want him on your team!

I’ve bought and sold three properties now with Vlaho. All three have been in co-ops, which require very hands on approach with all parties. The tricky landscape of co-ops also needs a clear understanding of the delicate financial prerequisites. He has a creative and well-tuned business mind for making sure the sale is a success and everyone is satisfied. Most importantly, Vlaho knows his clients and the market extremely well, so rest assured you’re in good hands. And when the sale is final, you have a delicious bottle of Croatian wine to look forward to!

Vlaho is honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy person. He helped us to buy our apartment, rent and then sell after 8 years. He will be always there to help you and guide you with whatever questions you have. However, if he doesn’t have the right answer he will research and will get back to you with the answer. He is a god send agent.

"I would, without hesitation, work with Vlaho again. Vlaho was the seller's broker when I was buying my cooperative apartment unit. He was forthright, efficient and a consummate professional. When it came time to sell, I reached out to Vlaho to represent me. He came to the meeting prepared to execute the contracts, was willing to give me additional time to review the contracts, and was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire closing process. We were able to find a purchaser with the first open house. Vlaho takes pride in his craft and it is evident in the results. Vlaho, thank you very much for your service."

Vlaho was very helpful in the beginning of selling process. choosing right price for the property. He's very knowledgeable in all steps (finding right buyer, closing, etc.) He's not chip either but he's worth the money you would spend on commission. Very glad I had him as a broker.

Vlaho is incredible. Not only is he a masterful professional with his experience, but he is extremely patient, honest and knowledgable. I feel tremendously grateful that I have met Vlaho and have grown to know him both personally and professionally. If it wasn't for Vlaho, I would not be a home owner. A true class act and an original man. Will always be upfront, answer his phone and do what he says. In today's world, its difficult to find someone of pure integrity, particularly in New York. In Vlaho, you will find this. Call him and meet him. Trust me: there's nobody better. It's an honor to write this recommedation.
Joel

We had a very complicated sale and buy, which Vlaho facilitated expertly. We had to sell a very cluttered 1BR which was already way too small for our family of 3. There was almost no way to clean it up and stage it because of the amount of stuff we had. But we got our asking price, which we used to buy a wonderful property that we love. We have been living here for about a year and a half and feel very happy. Vlaho knows everyone and everything. He got us a good lawyer, a lender, a painter and even a house cleaner, so that we could move in with the least amount of stress in a very stressful transaction.
As a side note, we had bought our first apartment from him and followed his advice to renovate it to increase the value. It's like one-stop shopping, he really knows everything and he is very honest, helpful, reliable and respectful. If anyone asks me for advice selling and buying in Queens, I always talk about Vlaho. Can't say enough good things.

Vlaho has been extremely helpful throughout my home buying journey. Very professional, amiable, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions I asked him. Property touring, getting to know in and out about the property, all the way up to contract signing and negotiation wouldn’t have been smoother without his help. I strongly recommend his service to anyone looking to buy a property.

"It was a pleasure working with Vlaho during the process of buying our first home. He was always professional, helpful and responsive. Even though he was the seller's broker he addressed any questions we had and assisted with follow-up calls, in order to ensure the process was always moving forward. Vlaho has a good understanding of client's needs and how to match that within their budgets. We ended up buying the second house he showed us! Living and working in Queens he has a first-hand understanding of the neighborhoods, specific buildings and their boards, which is very helpful during the buying process. We would highly recommend Vlaho Baletin to anyone looking for a home in Queens!."
Best wishes and thanks again for all your help!

"We just closed on a coop apartment with the help of Vlaho. From the "introduction to buying in NYC" meeting, up to the final closing, Vlaho have been a true ally. We had a complicated need and a tight budget but he understood our must haves and came up with ideas that made this possible. It is our first time buying and it was stressful but nothing like if we didn’t have him always available for answers and clarifications. He also presented us with multiple other partners (bank, lawyer..) that made a strong team with an affordable budget. I absolutely recommend!"

Mr Vlaho Baletin was instrumental agent for successful selling of my apartment at 60-11 Broadway Apt 4E, Woodside, NY 11377. Also Vlaho took care of my apartment while I was away. I can recommend Vlaho either for selling or baying a new home.

Vlaho did an amazing job on renting the apartment. He is knowledgeable and very responsible. He was able to find the right people supported them with the paper work. I am very please with the work Vlaho was done. I highly recommend him.
Cecilia

I hired Vlaho to oversee the sale of my condo in Queens, NY. He was referred to me and I'm so glad I decided to move forward with him. He and his colleague Anna were so professional and helpful every step of the way. I had the misfortune of having a difficult condo board who dragged their feet on signing the most basic of paperwork required for the sale, but Vlaho and his team kept the buyer informed and interested throughout the drawn out process. Even if you do everything right, something can go wrong to delay the sale of your condo/home. And, in those moments you want experts on your team - like Vlaho and Anna - to help get you to the finish line.

I originally met Vlaho when I bought an apartment in Woodside in 2013 because he was the seller's agent. When it was time for me to sell the apartment in 2020, I knew that he would be the right person for the job because of his overall professionalism and his local expertise. Although 2020 was a rough year for sellers, Vlaho was able to set the right asking price and found a qualified buyer within a reasonable amount of time. He also kept me updated on the whole process with regular email updates, all the way to the closing. I would definitely recommend Vlaho if you're looking to buy or sell an apartment in Queens.

Dear Vlaho,
I would like to thank you for your help when I got my new apartment. Buying and selling at the same time was a new experience for me, but with your guidance, you made the process easier by recommending a lawyer and a banker who could work with me.Thank you also for recommending Peter, the man who helped me fix and paint the apartment. He did a great job that not only makes the place look nice, but also added value to the property.

Thanks for all your professional guidance.

Vlaho was on top of everything throughout the closing process. He knows the market, mortgage process, board interview, required documents and so on. Vlaho also followed up with all parties when necessary to expedite the process.
The most important thing that I liked about Vlaho was that he didn't push me to buy every apartment that he showed to me, unlike many. First, he only showed places that fit into my requirements. Then, he informed the positive and negative things about the places he showed allowing me to make a good decision.

The purchase of my first home was a stressful time and buying into a COOP had additional challenges. Vlaho continually advised me throughout the closing process and I felt like he always had my best interests in mind. He was professional, did what he said he was going to do, and had great follow up.

Vlaho Baletin served as our real estate agent for both the purchase of a 3 bedroom apartment and the sale of a 2 apartment in Celtic Park in Sunnyside, Queens in the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011. During both the purchase and the sale we relied on and appreciated Vlaho's experience, communication skills, and professionalism. All aspects of the purchase and sale were handled efficiently and promptly. We couldn't have been happier with the buying and selling process.
Vlaho was there every step of the way and made the process as painless as possible.
He was very responsive, honest and very supportive. We felt no pressure to make any decisions until we were comfortable with them, and his advice was always honest and direct.

We would highly recommend Vlaho to anyone planning the purchase or sale of their home.

I am extremely happy with Vlaho's knowledge, service, and expertise of the real estate industry. I had so many questions for Vlaho since I am a first time buyer and he was able to answer all of them with ease. He is very patient and was willing to go above and beyond what is usually expected. Vlaho even helped me with filing out forms on multiple occasions. I would have been totally lost without him. I highly recommend Vlaho to everyone who has any real estate needs.

Vlaho Baletin is a kick-ass realtor, any way you slice it. He helped my wife, six-month infant and I find the perfect, three-bedroom co-op in Queens right at the bottom of the real estate market, two or three years ago. It was our first home purchase. We talked with a half-dozen or buy-side realtors before we decided to go with Vlaho. We went with him for a few reasons. He’s really, really nice, for one thing. He just puts out a pleasant vibe – a genuine vibe. He smiles easily. We were nervous, and he made us feel comfortable.
He is also understanding. He understood what we – as his client – were looking for, and he went about figuring out how to meet our needs. That’s actually a rare trait in the sales field. Too many sales people are interested in using clients to fulfill their needs. They need a deal. They need a commission. That is not how Vlaho sees things. He saw that we needed a home.
One reason I think Vlaho understood our needs so well is because he is 1) a smart guy with a deft touch for people and 2) a family man. He’s bought a house. He has kids. He’s been there. He could put himself in our shoes.
Vlaho also likes his job, which is important. I got a sense that he finds the buying and selling of homes in New York City to be a total gas, despite the chaos and stress of it all. He’d laugh about it sometimes – how no-holds-holds-barred and anything-goes it all is. He accepted it for what it was. He had positive and pragmatic attitude. I like that.
He was also good at his job. That’s important. When our first deal fell through, we were devastated, naturally. It irked Vlaho too. But he stayed cool and lined us up something even better. We ended up getting an even better deal. I was deeply impressed with how he negotiated the second deal. He had a great feel for the seller, and what they would accept. He actually bid lower than I had asked him too, knowing he could talk them down lower. Think about that for a second: A higher bid would have meant a higher sale price, which would have meant a higher commission for Vlaho. But Vlaho wasn’t after the highest commission. He was after the best deal possible for his client. And he got it.
Buying a home, or selling a home, is damn stressful. It is the most stressful thing you are going to do in your financial life. I’m not looking forward to doing it again. But one thing that sets my mind at ease? I’m gonna have Vlaho handling our deal. He’s the best.
Best, Matt

When I moved back to Queens a four years ago I had a hard time finding an agent to assist me in purchasing a home.
A couple of other realty agents I contacted passed me off to whoever was available in their office. I saw Vlaho Baletin photo in the homes for sale flyer and gave him a call. He was extremely helpful in explaining things, pointing things out when I looked at a home, both good and bad, and never passed me off to someone else in his office. He never got tired of all my calls or the number of homes I looked at. Even after I bought my home, he has assisted me with other realty questions. I would recommend Vlaho to anyone purchasing or selling a home. He works hard for you to get the best deal, is honest, and is always there for you....even after the sale.

Vlaho Baletin is an amazing realtor. He is a genuinely nice person who’s trustworthy, honest and very knowledgeable about the whole buying process - which is great for a new/first-time home buyer like me! From the very first meeting with Vlaho, I knew that I could trust him to find my perfect one bedroom apartment. He was very attentive and took the time to really listen and know what I was searching for. We went to see a few places, and I fell in love with one of them, only to have it fall through suddenly after I made an offer. I was saddened and disappointed but Vlaho assured me that we would find another that’s just as nice. And we did - a nicer and larger apartment! The process from making an offer to closing took a little longer than I was expecting (I was a little too eager to get into my new home!), but Vlaho was always there to make sure I knew what was going on and had great communication with my loan officer, the seller’s realtor and the co-op management team. It was a pleasure to work with Vlaho from the start to closing and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who’s easy to talk to, great at what he does and is always looking out for his client’s best interests. Thank you for everything Vlaho! All the best, Sandy

As first time home-buyers Vlaho helped us through each step of the complicated process. He recommended excellent people to work with, from the attorney to the bank. We ended up with our dream co-op and it wasn't nearly as difficult as we had anticipated. He's a very reliable agent who will educate you and put you in the right hands, as well as stay on top of every detail. We highly recommend him and would use him again!

I have had the pleasure of finding and purchasing a co-op apartment with Vlaho. He was extremely helpful right from the beginning of the process, all the way through the closing. First, he helped me understand the co-op board review process, including income requirements, so as to not waste any time. Then, he recommended a great lawyer and loan officer to get everything started as smoothly as possible. Finally, when it was time to complete the long tedious co-op application, he actually came to my home to make sure everything was filled out correctly. Ultimately, it was a great experience and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Vlaho Baletin was very patient right from the beginning. He knew exactly what I wanted and was always available. There was one instance where we were up until 2 am trying to bid on a house! Can you get that from every realtor? He has extensive knowledge a great network of people that he can recommend without being too pushy. When it comes to providing options he always has numerous contacts whether its for mortgage, lawyer, insurance, appraisal or inspection.
Buying a house is stressful process, it always helps to have a good realtor.

Vlaho Baletin is a skilled professional. He is honest and a good negotiator for me when buying a apartment in Queens. Vlaho informed me of the entire process and was easy to reach by cell phone or emails. Vlaho was always on time for every meeting and even took the time to explain any questions i asked. Even during the co-op approval process we met and he went over all the paper work making sure everything was right. I also asked for a attorney recommendation which i was given 3 different choices to pick from. Getting a good trusted attorney in the same area helped make the process easy. If your looking for a simple and enjoyable home buying experience use Vlaho Baletin as your real estate agent.
