Seller Testimonials

“I am writing to advise you of the fantastic job Ron Hornsby performed in selling Apartment 2J at 400 East 77th Street in New York. This apartment was part of the Estate of my Aunt and my cousin and I were co executors of her Estate. When Ron first got the listing, the apartment was in the same condition as it was when purchased by my Aunt in 1985. My cousin and I live in Pennsylvania. Ron suggested we update the apartment and helped us by overseeing the renovation to update it. His communication to us throughout the renovation process was exceptional. Ron displayed excellent professional conduct and is to be highly commended for the professional manner he exhibited in dealing with the Board. My cousin and I wanted you to be aware of the superior job Ron did in helping us sell this apartment. Ron is a definite asset.

“Ron Hornsby was a very efficient, effective realtor. He sold my condo very quickly. There were multiple bids because he set the price right. He was also very helpful in preparing the apartment for sale. He both helped and supported me in multiple ways in clearing out the apartment. He brought in contractors that he knew to paint and make the needed repairs and chose and installed new lighting fixtures. He was always responsive and made constructive suggestions (no matter what the issue) for getting any and everything done that needed to be done. Ron has my heartiest recommendation.”

“We are beyond pleased with having chosen Ron Hornsby of Argo as the broker for the sale of our Upper Manhattan co-op apartment. He made things really easy, clear, and smooth for us. We could tell from our first conversation that he really understood our situation AND the apartment AND the neighborhood AND the market, and was the agent that we needed.

Ron was transparent about the state of the market and predicted the final sale price with impressive acuity; he gave brilliant advice on upgrades to get the apartment market-ready; he assembled a stellar team, including an attorney, handymen, and contractors for repair and touch-up work; and he staged the apartment beautifully beyond our expectations. His services and service were far beyond what the other brokers we spoke with were willing to commit to and to do. And of course he closed the sale with a price that we are very happy with.

We also add that most of the interaction with Ron was done remotely (from out of town). We had trust in Ron and he delivered. We would work again with Ron without hesitation, and recommend for anyone in the market to buy or sell to speak with Ron and see if he could be an amazing broker for you too.”

“Ron Hornsby facilitated a smooth selling experience for us as our real estate agent. When we had particular informational needs, he was very responsive, making sure to keep us in the loop about all developments. He has good instincts about the real estate market and provided us with strong guidance at numerous critical points. Given our history as neighbors, we noted over the years how he cared about our building's community and resources, and took great care as a leader in our coop. He's a wonderful person to have on your team when selling a home!”

-Robert Whelan, 143 Bennett Ave, 1S - Sold $345,000


“Ron was a Godsend! He was able to assist us in listing and selling a home, and the whole process went very smoothly. He addressed details and other concerns without hesitation, he coordinated with the property manager, he was able to get a better offer than what was originally discussed, and he helped us find a real estate lawyer, who was also a joy to work with. All of these were done without ever meeting him in person. He was able to inspire a sense of trust during our initial phone consultation. I highly recommend Ron and would use his services again if the opportunity arises.”

-Armyn Carbonell, 301 Cathedral Parkway, 3A - Sold $555,000 (over asking price)

“Ron helped me sell my apartment in the financial district in NYC and I couldn't speak more highly of him! I have relocated to Australia so I was doing it remotely and he went over and above to help me out. He always responded instantly, gave me all of the information I needed, and connected me also with a great stylist who was also amazing. Ron is patient and always positive and I always felt in good hands with him even when one of the interested purchasers put us through a lot! His knowledge of the markets was spot on, I took his advice on each offer and in the end I got the sale I wanted! Huge thanks to you Ron, I look forward to having a champagne when I'm next in town!”

-Charlie Sutton, 2107 Bedford Avenue, C10 - Sold $490,000

“Ron is on point. There are no delays, his communication is stellar, and he doesn't waste time waiting around. He was honest about what we had to do to get our apartment picture and show ready. We loved our photos, our write up, and the feedback he'd share from the viewings. We feel that he made smart decisions about when to list, where to price and keeping things moving with the negotiations and offers. Ron is seasoned, levelheaded and personable. He goes the extra mile to ensure that we walked away from our experience feeling satisfied.”

-Elise Quizphilamina, 120 Bennett Avenue, 6H

“We interviewed 4 agents to head up the sale of our apartment and Ron gave us the impression of being calm, organized, knowledgeable, easy to work with and tech savvy. After closing on our apartment, I’m happy to report he is all those things, and completely exceeded our expectations. He brought a well-researched point of view to the table, and I felt he really considered the details of our home and represented it well without being overbearing to potential buyers. He has all the hustle you want in an agent in the NY market while remaining polished, respectful and extremely easy to work with. His level of responsiveness was also excellent, and though he had several listings at the time I always felt like ours was priority one. The deal went incredibly smoothly, and I think Ron was a huge part of that, highly recommend this agent. “

-Chris & Kathryn Ware, 66 Overlook Terrace

“Selling your apartment and buying a new apartment simultaneously, is legit one of the most stressful experiences one can have in NYC. Yet, under the duress of those circumstances, Ron Hornsby and Argo were THE reason everything not only went smoothly, but that I knew I was in quality hands. 

He always looked out for my best interest and went above and beyond what any other realtor would do to make sure this process went smoothly throughout.  

I would advise everyone to stop looking around and to put your full faith in Ron and the team at Argo.”

-Eric Ulloa, 166 East 35th Street

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ronald and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the facets of New York real estate which is its own special beast. He has a personal and deeply committed approach to each client, going above and beyond at every step to close the deal. He also carries with him a sophistication and charm that I was proud to have representing me, which is especially useful since deals can get delicate. He navigated a complicated sale with me and I'm very pleased with the result. He also helped me find a renter for my apartment and was as excellent in rentals as sales.”

-Krysta Rodriguez, 335 West 21st Street

-Julie Taw, 99 East 4th Street


“Ronald Hornsby was my realtor for both the sale of my 1 BR apartment in Midtown Manhattan and the purchase of my new 2 BR apartment in Central Harlem. He was always prompt and responsive to every text and email. His incredible taste and experience as a decorator was such an asset when it came to staging my apartment for the sale, and we had an offer (at asking!) in 24 hours! New York real estate is a maze of complications, and Ron was able to help us navigate all the twists and turns along the way because of his professionalism and vast experience. "No two deals are the same", Ron says - and boy, is he right! I'm glad we had Ron on our team to make it all happen!”

-Todd Lamb, 424 West 49th Street

“This review is way overdue. Ron was extremely helpful selling my Riverdale co-op in November 2021. His collective knowledge of the local market and experience with dealing with similar situations (as he has sold other apartments in our building) and overall responsiveness proved to make things less stressful. I couldn’t have been happier with Ron and his suggestions to quickly sell our apartment. I highly recommend leveraging Ron and his services whether you are planning to buy or sell!”

-Jamie Abreu, 4705 Henry Hudson Parkway

“Ron Hornsby was an amazing Realtor who helped us sell a one bedroom coop on the Upper East Side. Ron never gave up.

-Betsy Cohen, 400 East 77th Street

Buyer Testimonials

“We had an exceptional experience working with Ronald Hornsby in purchasing a co-op in Manhattan. From the very beginning, Ron demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Navigating the competitive Manhattan real estate market can be daunting, but Ron made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Ron took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget, and then provided us with a curated selection of properties that perfectly matched our criteria. His deep knowledge of the Manhattan market and co-op purchasing process was evident in every interaction. He was always available to answer questions, provide valuable insights, and offer guidance, ensuring we felt confident and informed at every step.

During the application process, Ron guided us through every step, from preparing a comprehensive and impressive application package to coaching us for the board interview. His familiarity with the specific requirements and expectations of co-op boards was invaluable in securing the approval.

Beyond his professional acumen, Ron was a pleasure to work with. His friendly demeanor, patience, and genuine care for our satisfaction made the entire experience enjoyable. We truly felt like we had a trusted partner, advocating for our best interests.”

-Ashley Green, 155 West 80th Street


“As a first-time home buyer, Ron guided me through what could have been an exceedingly stressful experience and made the entire process seamless and outright exciting. He went so far above and beyond at every turn to ensure that we stayed proactive in our house hunt; positioned ourselves well for negotiations and the application submission; and moved through the long process as efficiently as possible, even when imposing external forces (like a global pandemic) threatened to slow us down. I always trusted Ron to give me genuine and honest advice as I navigated the challenging buying landscape; and - thanks to Ron - I now own a home that wildly exceeds my (admittedly high) expectations. I could not more emphatically recommend Ron Hornsby to a prospective buyer. “

-Kevin Gannon, 167 Perry Street


“We are so grateful to Ron, our wonderful Argo realtor, for helping us find our family's new home. Ron was communicative, supportive, and helpful throughout the home buying process. He helped make sure we had the people we needed on our team and the right information to make sure the purchase went smoothly. Buying a home can be such a giant headache, and with Ron's help, it was much less stressful than it could have been. We highly recommend working with him and Argo!”

-Amy Andrews, 153 Bennett Avenue


“Ronald Hornsby recently guided my husband and me on a first time apartment purchase in the Hudson Hts neighborhood in Manhattan. He was so incredibly helpful every step of the way. We were impressed by how attentive he was to every question, no matter how small or when we reached out. Ron has excellent knowledge of both the neighborhood and specifically the building. He's continued to be available even after closing. We would not hesitate to use him again or recommend to others. A wonderful first time experience!”

“I was referred to Ron through a mutual friend. From our first meeting, he was very helpful and knowledgeable, esp. considering this was my first home purchase. He listened to my goals and requirements and was able to help me find a beautiful apartment in a matter of a few short weeks. When it came to negotiations, he helped me craft a strategy to get my condo below asking price. He then referred me to a lawyer that could help me close. I highly recommend considering him if you are in the market to buy a place too.”

-Jay Wiley, 421 West 54th Street

Renter Testimonials

“Ron Hornsby was absolutely amazing to work with to find and secure my dream NYC apartment! I'm moving to NYC from California, so I needed someone very on top of it, and Ron went above and beyond. Throughout the entire process, he was accessible, friendly, and communicative. He did a wonderful job activating his incredible knowledge of the NYC real estate market and vast professional network while paying close attention to my specific requests; he found me a pre-war co-op building that was even more perfect than I imagined. His support and guidance were invaluable throughout the board approval process, and I'm so grateful for his singular mix of friendly sophistication and professionalism. I highly recommend him!”

-Anne Sawier

“One year after escaping NYC, it was time to start looking for a new apartment and a return to normalcy. Ron Hornsby was a total and complete dream to work with.

“I moved a week ago to Towers in the Park. Couldn't find a better location, and a friendlier stuff. I was very lucky to find the place and to find Ron from Argo. He was very polite, educated, answered all my questions promptly, and knew what he was doing. Always on top of everything during the process of acceptance in the building. I definitely recommend him - and Argo - if you are looking for a good match and smooth transition moving.”
