Anastasia Ames has been praised by clients for being the best real estate agent they ever worked with. She is honest, knowledgeable, fun and empathetic; but most importantly, she listens to their needs so they find exactly what they’re looking for in terms of the right home, budget and lifestyle.
Originally from Russia, Anastasia went to Moscow State University and holds a Journalism Masters degree. She worked as a journalist and a photo editor in the world of magazines at Conde Nast for over five years, and chose real estate because she loves working with wonderful people and matching them with beautiful apartments.
Anastasia believes patience and communication are key elements in the service business, and are crucial components when building lasting relationship. “I play a hands on role with my clients in their search for the perfect home and strive to eliminate as much stress as possible by providing support and information throughout the process.”
Residing in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Anastasia serves the Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and the East and West Village, Lower East Side and Soho in Manhattan, as well as surrounding areas. She herself loves all parts of New York City for the many new and interesting things there are to discover every day, from vegan restaurants to parks, people, and sample sales! Anastasia is also an animal lover who volunteers at shelters and is involved in animal rights activism. She loves being creative too as a sculptor who makes dolls plus has her own sideline bath products company.

review date 06/06/2013She made a last-minute appointment to show an apartment although it was at the end of the day. After the showing, she took my roommate and me on a lengthy and illuminating tour of the neighborhood.
After choosing the apartment, there were several complications (all on my end, not Anastasia's) that prevented a prompt signing of the lease. Most brokers would have dropped my roommate and me immediately, but Anastasia continued to accommodate us.
I could not be more pleased with the experience; Anastasia will be the first person I turn to the next time I am in the market for an apartment.

review date 04/25/2013She was extremely helpful, responsive and awesome with me getting what I wanted. She was around when I had questions and always responded in a timely fashion. Normally i would not hire a broker but these days if you are not in the biz it pays to get someone who knows and Anastasia Knows!

My roommate and I were having a very long day looking at apartments. We made the appointment with Anastasia last minute and had to move it back several times until finally meeting with her around five. Throughout our unorganized dealings Anastasia was incredibly accommodating and patient.
Anastasia's best trait is her enthusiasm about the neighborhood. After showing us the apartment she was insistent on taking us on a tour of Greenpoint culminating in a walk down the pier.
We closed on the apartment in lightening speed despite difficulties that were our fault and not Anastasia's. I could not be happier with the apartment or the neighborhood. I will certainly refer her to my friends and she is the first person I will contact if I enter the market again.
