“The full package. Intelligent, fun to work with, ethical and consistently exceeds expectations. If you have hiring and/or consulting needs, Concetta should be at the top of your list."
/ ERIC BARRON, EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM, TRIPLEMINT /
“Concetta helped us fill two critical roles for our firm. We were stuck and buried in low-quality job board applicants. Concetta took over the process, got us moving, and delivered quality. Life's too short (and your network is not good enough) to DIY.”
/ dan barnett, director of operations, the jill biggs team, coldwell banker /
"Concetta is well known and respected throughout the NYC real estate industry given her extensive experience over the years. She knows the intricacies of the business, along with all the major players. That makes her an extremely valuable commodity and an important person to know. A strong member of our management team is in fact a referral from Concetta, and our company is much stronger as a result. I am extremely grateful for her help, guidance, and kindness throughout the years."
/ JEREMY COOPER, partner, COOPER & COOPER /
“I’ve known Concetta for years and have always respected her for her industry knowledge and professionalism. She is extremely personable and during her time working for a Developer, she made a strong effort to connect to our brokers which I highly appreciated. Our firm was recently looking for a strong rental manager so I reached to her to see if she had anyone to recommend. Later that day she referred a personal contact of hers who we ended up hiring…after meeting with over a dozen candidates. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a strong hire or any sort of real estate consulting.”
/ Dezireh Eyn, COO, Platinum Properties /
“Concetta is an absolute pleasure to work with. She listened to all of the job requirements, asked relevant questions, gave me a reality check on my comp assumptions, and delivered a candidate above and beyond my expectations. There was a quick turnaround requirement and she worked super diligently, was always very respectful and has a great positive attitude! Would 100% recommend working with Concetta.”
/ Elam Blum, senior vice president, empire management /
"I had the pleasure of meeting Concetta nearly four years ago when I was getting Nestio off the ground. Her genuine desire to see other people succeed is inspiring. Concetta is a forward-thinking industry professional and an incredibly valuable thought partner. To any founder starting his or her own business, I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Concetta was my manager from 2008 - 2010 and what I loved about working with her was that she would always try to help the office strive for more. She was a great consultant and mentor, and frequently helped me achieve greater success by pushing me to the next level. Real estate managers are there to help the agents grow their business, and she did so through her many ideas, challenges and motivational skills which helped us achieve our goals. It was that last year working with her that inspired me to start my company, Maz Group NY, because I had acquired the confidence and skills to take the risk and start the next chapter in my career. I’ve since grown my company to over 20 agents and have owned my own firm as of 2010. One of my favorite quotes from Concetta which I still hold true to today is “The only constant is change."
/ charles mazalatis, president & founder, maz group ny /
"When I first met Concetta in 2004, I was astounded at how many people she knew relative to her adult years. She is a connector, which was what made her such a great broker, manager, career coach, and recruiter. With her gregarious personality and sincerity, she gets to know people in a real way and aligns her clients with who and what they need. She has been a tremendous resource for me and our brokerage firm, I can’t recommend her more highly."
/ sara rotter, executive director of sales, Brown Harris Stevens /
“ After a year-long search for an Operations Manager with no results, after partnering with Upward On, Concetta found me a quality candidate I eagerly hired. Concetta and her team offer a unique advantage of the other firms I met with -- over 20 years of deeply rooted connections within the real estate industry.”
/ Jason Saft, CEO of Staged to sell, LLC & Licensed Real Estate Agent, Compass /
"Concetta is an incredibly valuable resource in the real estate recruiting world and I'm lucky to be working with her. Her vast experience working in the real estate world is priceless. Concetta listens to your needs and gets the right people in front of you."
