Testimonials

Devin is a superstar. He has the desire of an agent who just started in the industry, but the skillset of a seasoned veteran. I was looking to purchase my first apartment and was convinced that the only neighborhood I wanted to live in was Lenox Hill. After seeing our first unit together Devin sent over a dozen other listings with similar criteria to review. He listened to everything I had to say, absorbed my feedback, and within a week pushed me to see an apartment on the other side of the city in the West Village! I ended up signing a contract shortly thereafter, and I’m still thrilled with my decision a year later. Devin fought hard for me during...

Devin has worked with us on the rental side and represented us on our first purchase. We ended up purchasing a property and closing in a timely fashion so we were able to move in and begin enjoying our new home directly after being married. Devin was insightful, thoughtful, and diligent throughout the process and we enjoyed our time working with him. Like any large decision, it is important to feel as though you are working with someone who has your best interest in mind and we are certain that Devin is very much set on making sure that we were making an economically sound decision while also making sure we were purchasing a property that all partie...

Working with Devin was a fantastic experience, and his guidance was instrumental in my decision to purchase in Manhattan. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s real estate market and conducts thorough research on every opportunity. What truly sets Devin apart is that he always puts his client’s best interests first, offering honest, unbiased advice—which makes him a highly trustworthy advisor. His service is top-tier. Not only does he personally drive you around during the search, but as a first-time buyer, I especially appreciated how hands-on and communicative he was—checking in with me almost daily from the beginning of the search thro...

I have grown up with Devin and I consider him one of my closest friends. I have never purchased a property in Manhattan and he was professional and insightful throughout the process. There were several occasions in the negotiation process that could have potentially ended the deal in disappointment. However, Devin was able to secure the property for me for much less than I anticipated buying it. I ended up saving over $500,000 through his careful guidance and approach to the deal. Needless to say, I have recommended this team to several of my friends, families, and work associates.

Devin is a consummate professional and was a tireless advocate for us. Throughout the long and difficult process of finding the right place to buy he never wavered in his positive energy and tough and when necessary steely attitude. He has a can do approach and a relentlessly supportive vibe that served us so well in the jungle that is NYC real estate. Go, Devin, you’re a rockstar.

Working with Devin was a great experience and his contribution was decisive for me buying in Manhattan. Devin is extremely knowledgeable about the city real estate market and very thorough in his research. Additionally, he puts his client's interest first, giving unconflicted views about the opportunity of buying which makes him a trustworthy advisor. Finally, his service is very high-end - not only does he drive you around during the search but, more importantly, as a first-time buyer I needed a lot of education and Devin was very heavy touch in checking in with nearly every day from search through closing. Definitely a great value add for anyone l...

I was skeptical when I first hired Devin. I had to sell my 3 family townhome in Brooklyn FAST. We had already been on the market for 6 months with another broker who was unsuccessful. I knew the building needed a creative approach and that is exactly what this team delivered. Within the first 3 weeks, we received 7 offers and were in contract in less than 2 months. This team has proven that they can sell any piece of property with the right marketing approach

Devin successfully represented me in the sale of my apartment during COVID, an undoubtedly challenging time. They worked tirelessly and energetically to leverage every opportunity to match the property with the perfect buyer. From personally conducting showings, to optimizing our listing's online presence, to acutely navigating the conversation with interested buyers, they were extremely hands-on. They ended up bringing numerous offers to the table and managed to land us a price we were aiming for. I would undoubtedly recommend them for their determination to get the job done perfectly.

Working with the the DHL Team was a unique experience, where Devin was able to use their creative force to sell my home in less than 30 days from the date the apartment was listed, in the middle of a pandemic where the market is ripe with uncertainty. We had 20 showings scheduled in the first 2 weeks alone! After meeting with 3 real estate teams, I selected to work with this team because of their thoughtful, creative and straightforward approach. They were true to their words and delivered as promised. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to sell their home.

I can't rave enough about Devin's professionalism and perseverance in helping me sell my unit. Devin and his team have been heavily involved with organizing and caring for the smallest aspects to help me achieve my goal. His knowledge of the market made a sale possible during a time when nothing around us was moving. Personal touch and determination go a long way. Thanks to you and your team for the help and caring.

We found working with Devin a complete pleasure. He guided us through the entire sale process, from making sure the apartment was well positioned, to showing the apartment to prospective buyers, to working with us on negotiation and closure. Throughout the process he was thoughtful in his assessment and recommendations, and we really appreciated his counsel. We'd highly recommend him and would definitely work with him again.

It has been my sincere pleasure to work with Devin to successfully sell my apt. Over the course of our work he earned my trust and confidence - he operates intelligently and with methodical discipline while being very sensitive to the owner's needs and input. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell RE. I've worked with multiple RE agents in the past - they usually tell you what you want to hear and quickly run out of ideas when the market isn't working in your favor. Devin based his strategy on reviewing all the stats available and was unwilling to recommend a change in strategy until they had confirmed the reason and directio...

Devin and his team took over the sale of my property in 2019. It previously sat on the market for several years and off the market from 2014-2017 and it was unable to sell with another broker during this period. When I revisited the idea of selling the property, Devin was able to communicate a successful plan of action to sell the property and did successfully under difficult circumstances with a tenant I had in the unit. He was accessible and knowledgeable and followed through with what he has promised me. He was able to successfully sell my property and navigate the entire process all while I was oversees. He also put me in touch with a legal and ...

Working with Devin was a pleasure. He adapted to the different opportunities to sell my unit together with the owner next door. He was persistent and diligent throughout the process supporting the buyer going through the boarding process and other complications. He executed both transactions with clients living abroad which demonstrates his knowledge and ability to serve clients from around the world. I would highly recommend working with this team to list your home.

Working with Devin has been extremely fruitful and beneficial to our real estate portfolio. Not only do we work with the LS Team for our personal real estate acquisitions but also our real estate investment side. We own a mix-use building in Lenox Hill on the East Side and Devin has guided us on all facets. Devin rents the units quickly, he always achieves top market rent and orchestrates the whole process. He also has a knack for finding amazing and pleasant tenants. Our real estate company, M&H Associates also benefits from Devin's deep knowledge of the industry and market. LS Team doesn't just conduct the transactions; they educate and hold your ...

Working with Devin was a pleasure. He put together a beautiful presentation of the apartment, and furnished showings on a regular basis, after our previous tenure on market was unsuccessful. He was persistent and diligent throughout the process, keeping us regularly informed on their progress toward reaching a successful sale. Once the apartment entered contract, their work continued as he guided the purchasers through the detailed co-op board approval process and closing with great professionalism. We would highly recommend working with this team to list your home.

My husband and I were first-time buyers in Manhattan and were going back and forth between the idea of renting and buying a property. We had recently found out that we were going to be displaced from the home which our family had been in for years. Devin assisted us throughout the process offering guidance and insight into the market. We ended up purchasing a property that we were able to purchase with the help of Devin's guidance.

Devin has assisted me in two purchases in new Condo Developments. I was a first-time buyer in Manhattan and I was looking for a potential investment property to either rent out or have my family enjoy during their NY visits. He was helpful, concise, and thorough throughout this process. He made an international purchaser like myself feel very comfortable that I was in capable hands to be sure my purchases were met with ease and carefully informed consideration. The first property I purchased served as a successful first investment, which they rented immediately after placing it on the market. He located a second opportunity for me in a beautiful new...

We chose to work with Devin, as he was referred to us by our Daughter. After meeting with their team we decided to go to market in the winter of 2017. We were uncertain of market conditions. However, we trusted their advice and went back on market for sale after several years without finding a buyer. After hiring this team, we entered into a contract after only 36 days on market! We would strongly encourage the hiring of this team to anyone interested in selling their property.

We hired Devin to represent us on the sale of our 3 Bedroom property in the West Village, as our previous broker was unsuccessful in the process. Devin sold themselves as ‘re-positioning and marketing experts’ and was very straightforward with what they believed the property to be valued at, based on clear and concise information about the market’s performance with listings at this price point. Thirty-five days into our listing tenure, we entered contract in an otherwise volatile real estate market, which made this process uncertain for us. We made the right decision in working with this team. They offer a solution through creative marketing during ...

Diligent preparation, enthusiastic communication and comfortably aggressive. Came up with a game plan, hit the go button, and the apartment was rented out the first day it hit the market. Flawlessly executed. They aren’t just brokers, it’s an experience.

Devin did a terrific job in helping me find and secure my home. They got to know me and really understood what I was looking for. They educated me on the process, and helped me understand the benefits of a condo versus a co-op. Devin was patient with me and did not rush the process until we found the perfect fit. If you want to find the right home, you can’t go wrong working with the LS Team, as they are very personable, educated and extremely hard working. I highly recommend them for all your real estate needs.

Devin has been the most diligent and effective property agent I have ever come across. From the first day I contacted them, to finalize the purchase, they were exceptionally efficient and reliable. In addition, they helped me with the rental after the purchase and were just superb. I am so very happy with their service, and will definitely call on them again for future transactions.

I worked with Devin recently, as they had an exclusive on renting my apartment in Midtown. Over the many years that I have rented this property, I worked with quite a few brokers, and I can say without any reservations that they are the finest and best I have seen. The work ethic is exceptional, and their knowledge of the real estate market and how to close a deal truly is admirable. They guided me through the process from beginning to end, and made it all seem effortless and quick, which I greatly appreciated. I cannot recommend this team enough, and I welcome the opportunity to work with them again.

Working with Devin was an absolute pleasure. After having our apartment on the market for almost 5 months with no offers close to the asking price, we knew we had to turn it over to the experts. We were very skeptical about what any other broker could do that our previous one couldn't, but the LS Team team proved us wrong. Within days we had an offer over asking. They had a thoughtful strategy that they implemented and got our apartment sold. We highly recommend this team!

What can I say about working with Devin that is not already true? Record price for my apartment and in the building, exceptional expertise and service! There really is no reason to NOT work with this team for all your real estate needs.

It is with great enthusiasm that we recommend Devin Leahy as a real estate professional. My experience working with Devin to purchase a condominium in New York City was exceptionally positive, and I am confident that others will find the same level of professionalism, attentiveness, and effectiveness in working with him. From the very beginning, Devin took the time to truly understand our needs and priorities. His ability to listen carefully helped us avoid wasting time on properties that didn’t meet our criteria, making the entire process significantly more efficient. Given that we were looking to move quickly on a purchase at a fair price, his s...

Residence #26C was successfully sold by the DHL Team after previously being listed with two different brokerage firms for a combined 306 days without a sale. Steven and Mindy Choran were referred to the DHL Team by the CEO of Douglas Elliman due to our proven expertise in repositioning and marketing properties throughout Manhattan that have struggled to sell. After conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the property, we implemented a tailored marketing strategy, refreshed the property's presentation. Through our strategic approach and hands-on guidance throughout the process, we were able to secure a successful sale and deliver a positive outcome ...

Residence #1 was on the market for 173 days with a top broker at Brown Harris Stevens and did not receive a single offer. The DHL Team subsequently took over the listing and generated three offers. We chose to keep the furnishings in place and virtually stage the photography to enhance the presentation. During the slower summer months, we temporarily delisted the property. While off market, we received an inquiry for a private showing, which resulted in an offer that our clients ultimately accepted.

Residence #3A had been on the market for 239 days with one of the top brokers at Brown Harris Stevens. Despite their efforts, however, the property failed to attract the right buyer. The DHL Team took over the listing and completely rebranded the marketing strategy. Recognizing the property’s full potential, we set out to present it in a fresh and dynamic light. Within just 77 days of launching our new campaign, we conducted 56 showings, ensuring exposure to a wide pool of qualified buyers. Our efforts paid off, resulting in five strong offers. Through targeted marketing, personalized attention, and a revamped approach, we transformed what had bee...

Residence #1A was originally listed at $2,500,000 and remained on the market for 206 days without receiving a single offer. After this extended period of inactivity, Mr. Kerrane decided to partner with the DHL Team following interviews with several other reputable brokers. Once we implemented our strategic marketing plan and repositioned the property, activity increased significantly. Within just a couple of months, we generated strong interest from qualified buyers and ultimately received two offers in the same week—a complete shift from the prior experience.
