Summit Real Estate
Launched back in 1987 by co-owners Valery Yuabov and E. David Kessel, this brokerage has grown into a significant player across Queens' real estate landscape, now anchoring a freshly built office at the intersection of Metropolitan and 70th in Forest Hills. The team runs fifty full-time agents who navigate the market year-round, staying sharp through winter market shifts and spring upticks alike. The operation prioritizes genuine relationships, community roots, and a commitment to putting in the work—values that earned Tribune recognition as Best Realtor of the Year across 2003, 2004, and 2005 for consistently delivering trustworthy guidance on market conditions. Winter months showcase the brokers' depth of knowledge as they help clients navigate seasonal property trends and year-end transactions with clarity.
