"Roger is simply the best, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone navigating New York City real estate.
This was my first property purchase, and I had very little knowledge of the NYC market. When I started this process, I wasn’t even sure I was ready to buy. Roger never once pushed me and just took the time to … educate me on what was out there and all the considerations of buying a home. At one point, I had an emotional attachment to a different property that wasn’t going to work out. Roger gently helped me see the value in what would become my home. I couldn’t be more grateful for that.
His knowledge of the market is exceptional. He gave me strategic guidance on which properties would appreciate over time and which would come with headaches post-close. He walked me through all the nuances of New York real estate and the buying process. I never once felt overwhelmed by the very overwhelming nuances of the New York process.
Roger took me to something like eleven properties in a single day with zero issues on timing or logistics, and somehow made it feel completely comfortable rather than overwhelming. When I wanted to revisit places multiple times, he made that work around my schedule without complaint. Diagnosing the market as a first-time buyer is a lot to take on, and Roger’s organization and client service made it genuinely manageable
When it came to negotiating, Roger was a pro. He got us to the right price point with minimal concessions. After entering into contract, he connected me with inspectors, attorneys, movers, and even post-close cleaners.
Roger also showed up throughout the entire journey. Despite a very tight timeline and multiple complications, Roger was always there with information, with follow-through, and even just emotional support when complicated arose. When other parties were slow to respond, he stayed relentless, following up through every angle until we got to the finish line as fast as possible.
Roger is also just a pleasure to work with and made it fun. I’m very grateful to have gone through this process with him."

"My partner and I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Roger Dunkelbarger to find and close on our new condo in Williamsburg. The entire search and buying process can be daunting, but Roger made it incredibly seamless and stress-free.
From the very beginning, Roger took the time to truly understand our needs a… nd exactly what we were looking for. He quickly put together a comprehensive set of listings for us to review and impressively lined up multiple showings within the span of just a few days.
What we appreciated most was his unbiased advice and the fact that he clearly had our best interests at heart at all times. As we toured different properties, Roger always made sure to highlight the pros and cons of each option specifically in the context of what we were looking for. Beyond his deep knowledge of the area and the different condo buildings, his sharp negotiation skills ended up saving us a considerable amount of money, leaving us completely pleased with our purchase.
If you are looking for a highly dedicated, responsive, and genuinely supportive real estate agent in New York, we cannot recommend Roger and his team enough. Thank you, Roger, for helping us find our new home!"

"Working with Roger to purchase our condo in North Brooklyn was an excellent experience. As inexperienced buyers, we had a lot of questions, and Roger always provided thorough, in-depth explanations to make sure we had the full picture. His responsiveness was incredible; texts were usually answered within 15 minutes. After e… ach showing, he took the time to debrief with us, gathering our feedback to refine and better target his continued search. He never pressured us and always let us move at our own pace.
When it came to negotiations, Roger was highly strategic. He helped us structure a counter-offer with an aggressive expiration time to prevent the seller from shopping our offer around, keeping the leverage in our favor. He was also incredibly hands-on with our condo board application. He meticulously reviewed our materials to help us correct mistakes and even dropped off the physical package in person to ensure it was submitted properly. We highly recommend him"

"It was a pleasure working with Roger! He helped me find my dream apartment 💖"

"Roger was amazing to work with while I was searching for my NYC apartment. He immediately understood exactly what I was looking for and was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and neighborhood comps. He managed to find me my dream apartment within a day of our first meeting. He made the entire process smooth and succe… ssful from start to finish and was always responsive, thoughtful, and looking out for my best interests. I absolutely love my apartment and couldn’t recommend Roger more—if you’re looking in NYC, he’s the person you want on your side."

"Roger was more than a real estate agent to me—he was a true partner in my first home-buying journey. He took the time to really understand who I am, what I needed, and what mattered most, and he guided me through every step with patience and clarity. His negotiation skills are exceptional, and he always made me feel protect… ed and well represented. What truly sets Roger apart is how supportive he was even outside his formal role—always available, always thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping me make the right decision. I’m deeply grateful for his guidance and couldn’t recommend him more."

"I am an architect who has worked with Roger on several homeowners’ apartments in New York City, including penthouses on the Upper West Side and Upper East Side. What I appreciate most about him is how thoughtfully he looks at a space. He is not just thinking about square footage or finishes. He is paying attention to how a … home feels, how it functions for the people living there, and how it will read to future buyers when it is time to sell.
When we collaborate on a new purchase or a renovation, Roger is very clear about each client’s priorities. He will walk through a layout and talk through what could change to make everyday life easier: better flow, improved storage, more natural light, or making a terrace or view the true focal point. At the same time, he is always asking, “Will this help or hurt long term resale value?” That balance between design and investment is rare in a real estate agent.
For owners of higher end apartments and penthouses, this is especially important. Roger is very good at identifying which updates are worth doing before resale, which projects can be phased over time, and which ideas are probably not worth the cost. He is also very intentional about how a home will be photographed and marketed once it goes on the market, so the design work we do together is actually seen and appreciated by buyers.
From my perspective as an architect, Roger is:
- Very strong at seeing the potential in existing layouts
- Thoughtful about how design choices support both daily life and future resale
- A great collaborator with architects, designers, and contractors
- Calm, organized, and very clear in his communication with clients
If you are a homeowner in NYC who is thinking about renovating before selling, or buying a home that you want to improve over time, I strongly recommend working with Roger. He is a rare combination of design-aware, financially savvy, and genuinely invested in helping his clients make smart choices that pay off both in quality of life and in long term property value."

"Roger is an incredible agent to have representing you. He knows the minutia of helping a homebuyer purchase a new construction condo in New York City better than any agent I have come across. Not all offers are the same, even if they are for the same dollar amount. Closing date, concessions, contingencies… Roger gets buyers… a great deal by focusing on what actually matters to them, all while presenting the offer in a way that makes the sellers feel like it’s them who have won. A buyer would be lucky to have Roger on their side."

"Roger Dunkelbarger is a fantastic New York City & Brooklyn Realtor who is knowledgeable about the inner workings of the NYC real estate market. He’s especially strong with condos, new development properties, and townhouses, and he understands the details that matter in neighborhoods across Brooklyn and Manhattan like Willia… msburg, Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights, Chelsea, and the Upper West Side.
For sellers, he knows how to showcase a home beautifully and for buyers, he’s skilled at assessing quality, costs, incentives, and long-term value to ensure a smart investment.
If you’re planning to buy or sell in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights, Chelsea, or the Upper West Side, you are in great hands with Roger! I would recommend."

"I am a first-time buyer and Roger made NYC feel understandable. He knows new developments block by block in Chelsea and the Upper East Side and explained the differences in quality, carrying costs, and real resale potential in plain English. He flagged what actually matters long term and what is just glossy marketing. His n… egotiation skills are creative and strategic and helped me realize where we could find the most value in the process. Roger is very organized, quick to communicate, and enjoyable to spend time with. If you want a smart guide who will keep you informed and make it feel simple, work with Roger."
