Fouad and Grace did an incredible job selling our home.
Their exceptional staging and strategic marketing made
all the difference in getting a very quick offer and sale.
As a family with two small children, we were initially concerned about the disruption that selling our home could cause. However, they made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our family's daily routine was minimally affected, which we truly appreciate.
Most importantly, we were thrilled with the price we received for our home. Their expertise in negotiating and representing our best interests made us feel confident that we were getting the most value out of our property.
In short, we cannot thank Fouad and Grace enough for their hard work, dedication, and exceptional service. They truly exceeded our expectations, and we will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property

I highly recommend the Rahme team. When deciding to sell my home, it was very important to me to work with a team (not just an individual) who knew the market where my home was located and led with a client-first mentality. The Rahme team truly embodies all of those characteristics - they are very knowledgeable, highly communicative and execution-oriented. They took the time to truly understand my goals while also providing an honest expert opinion. They came prepared with a preferred network of expeditors, handymen and stagers which made the process completely seamless for me and my busy schedule. If you are looking for a home or preparing to sell your home, this is the team to work with.

This is the dream team. Thanks a million, Grace and Fouad! I really appreciate you both for being so thoughtful, responsive, and always sharing knowledge where you could add. It was because of your expertise that I was able to land my first home in New York. Having spent most of my life in California, this was a bigger milestone than it seemed and I can't thank you enough for helping me put my roots down in one of the most vibrant and soulful communities in Brooklyn.
11 months later, I'm happier than ever and I feel so calm and peaceful in my home. Super grateful to have had your guidance in a very competitive market!

Kaeppler is the absolute best! I’ve had the opportunity to work with her twice during significant life transitions and pivots; and she was responsive, compassionate, kind and diligent. With Kaeppler, I felt like a person and not just a client. And it is due to her tremendous skills and expertise that my family and I were able to find a beautiful home that meets our needs in Brooklyn!
I could not recommend Kaeppler enough for anyone that is looking for their next home. I’m deeply grateful that real estate people like her exist in today’s market and landscape.
Meryl S.
Claudia Caicedo was a lifesaver. During a long and stressful apartment search—while single and 7 months pregnant—I went to see one of Claudia’s listings. While that apartment wasn’t what I was looking for, Claudia was! She contacted me shortly after with the apartment of my dreams and shortly after that the lease was signed. I had lost several apartments during my search and was nervous about getting this one and Claudia put me at ease and was super responsive. I am forever grateful to Claudia that I have a space I love to bring the kiddo-to-be into. Needless to say, I highly recommend Claudia!
Tyler & McIver
Kaeppler is hands down the best realtor we’ve ever worked with! She’s incredibly reliable, always following up and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. What really sets her apart is her ability to dive into the nitty-gritty when needed without ever losing her upbeat, positive attitude. Kaeppler was essential to help us navigate the crazy NYC real estate market. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
Frances F.
This is our third time working with the Rahme Team - and our first sale! Thank you for helping and supporting us every step of the way! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell in Brooklyn!
Farzan Solimani
We had the pleasure to work with the Rahme team @ compass (with Kaeppler specifically) for our relocation from Berlin to New York City. Kaeppler is patient, honest and reliable. Most importantly she is keen to understand clients needs and offer tailored solutions. Thanks to her help we had a smooth relocation. We are more than happy that we decided to trust Kaeppler with finding the right place for us. The service is worth every penny and she really went above and beyond.
Allie B.
Words cannot adequately capture how how grateful I am to have found Grace and Fouad. Not only are they wonderful individuals but they are a dynamite team when it comes to all things real estate; their knowledge and dedication is unparalleled. I worked with them to purchase my first apt and then again to rent it out. As a first time buyer, the process was overwhelming and intimidating but Grace and Fouad were so supportive and patient. I was constantly blown away by how savvy, thorough and committed they are. I truly felt like I was in the best hands every step of the way. Whatever your real estate needs may be, the Rahme team is an incredible resource and I highly recommend working with them!
Iain & Miriam
We were so lucky that we found Kaeppler to work with! Moving to New York from overseas, there were a lot of different hurdles that we needed to cross to get into the rental market. Thankfully Kaeppler was extremely knowledgeable in this area and was able to provide great advice, and argue our case with landlords. She was very responsive and had a great understanding of the rental market. Thanks to Kaeppler we ended up in a really nice little place that we love! We would definitely recommend working with her.
Boris and Lisa
Thanks to Kaepplers help we found the perfect brownstone house we were looking for in just one week. We came from overseas and timing was crucial, but she managed to get us all the appointments we needed. She was extremely fast and well organized, but also fun to work with and very caring and thoughtful - she even helped us settling. in after our arrival. We would always work with her again
Shalaya S.
The Rahme Team is world class! I am incredibly grateful to Grace and Fouad for their partnership and invaluable support in helping our clients close on the sale of their Brooklyn condo. The Rahme Team's expertise and dedication to meeting our clients needs and expectations (from 3,000 miles away in California) made for a smooth transaction with little to no surprises along the way. Grace and Fouad - thank you for your partnership and for sharing in our commitment to delivering exceptional service to every client. You two are the best!
Snezhana Z.
Grace and Fouad have been incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful throughout our family’s home search despite constantly evolving needs on our end. In addition to being very knowledgeable themselves, they were also very creative in putting us in touch with additional sources of first-hand information about neighborhood. We could not recommend them highly enough!
Amanda E.
Claudia is an absolute dream to work with! As someone who was in the same apartment for over 10 years, I was dreading the process of finding a new place to live. Claudia went above and beyond and made us feel like she was truly there to help us. She listened to exactly what we were looking for and came through!
The dread of apartment shopping disappeared with Claudia. She was honest about the pros and cons of every apartment we looked at — really working to help us find a spot that was just right. And she's a ton of fun to work with! So grateful for Claudia's knowledge and expertise and will recommend her to anyone looking for an apt in the future.

I highly recommend Fouad Rahme for your real estate needs. He was incredibly helpful, honest and responsive when I applied to rent one of his listings. He also made the process of negotiating terms between landlord and tenant an easy, quick and painless experience.

Working with Grace was great - she is very efficient, super helpful, and really fun to work with!
Sandy
Claudia was amazing. She was very attentive to the apartment we wanted to rent and helped us find our new home. My boyfriend and I came across a bump in the road and I loved how she was able to make a tough situation turn into something great. She's kind and understanding and extremely helpful. I would go to her again in the future when I need to rent another apartment.
Kevin Lam
Working with Fouad and Grace in purchasing our NYC condo was so easy, and we were so glad that we had them as our agent advisors. Look no further - they are simply the BEST! Since the very beginning from our consultation session, Fouad and Grace put in so much effort to educate/guide us on what would fit out needs/criteria in the unique NY real estate market. And when we found the right home, they worked their magic to get us under contract and to navigate a long/stressful closing process. They were always there to answer our questions, and you can feel that they work HARD, looking out for their client's best interest, always! We would refer Fouad and Grace to all of our friends and family in a heartbeat!
Marta E.
Grace and Fouad are wonderful realtors. More than that, they are truly honorable people.
Edward
It was a pleasure working with Claudia towards finding my current apartment rental. During a stressful time and what could be a stressful process, Claudia was instrumental in making it all seamless. Claudia was extremely accommodating, making herself available whenever I had the opportunity to look at apartments and instrumental in narrowing the choices per my requirements.
Shannon F.
I highly recommend Fouad Rahme for your real estate needs. He was incredibly helpful, honest and responsive when I applied to rent one of his listings. He also made the process of negotiating terms between landlord and tenant an easy, quick and painless experience. I will definitely turn to Fouad if the need to rent or buy comes up in the future.
Angela M.
The best team to work with without a doubt. My wife and I worked with Grace and Fouad to find our 2 bed 2 bath condo in Prospect Heights. They were very patient with us as we were very particular. They quickly understood our needs and didn't waste our time when showing apartments. We have recommended them to friends as well.
Kaeppler & Sebastian
Dear Grace and Fouad,
We can’t thank you both enough for all your support, guidance, advice, and experience you provided us in our search to find the perfect house in the perfect location! Working with you both has been such a wonderful experience that we’ve truly enjoyed. Your knowledge about the Brooklyn real estate market is top of class. You listened to our unique needs, our concerns, and challenges, and provided us with the best advice we could ask for.
We look forward to working with you both on the upcoming sell of our current apartment and we’re confident you will help us find the right buyer!
Anna & Lucas
Thank you both so very much for all of your support and patience during this crazy process. We always felt we could trust you, which meant the world to us!
Dana T.
Love The Rahme Team, they were able to get a good price during a pandemic for my condo that didn't have the most ideal location. Highly recommend!
Ryan K.
The best real estate agency and agents in Brooklyn. I can't recommend them enough.
Eli
“The Rahmé Team has been handling our new developments since 2008 when the market was at it worst and helped us sell at top price with innovative marketing strategies.”
Chaim
“An absolute pleasure to work with and always had my best interest in mind.”
Tyler S.
Grace and Fouad are professional, thorough, and efficient. They keep their client’s interests at top of mind throughout the entire process. Grace represented me during the search for my first solo place, and I was certainly in good hands the whole way. I am grateful for their high level of expertise!
Jeremy S.
I have nothing but praise and thanks to Claudia Caicedo, for helping us find out perfect apartment! We relocated to Brooklyn during what seemed like an incredibly competitive and demanding rental period (queues outside apartments, rental offers above asking price etc). Despite viewing and applying to several apartments, I was being unsuccessful.
Thankfully I found Claudia. Her insight and knowledge into the area is second to none – which if you are ‘new’ to an area is especially essential - and her warm, professional manner made the search experience both productive and actually enjoyable. She made a point to quickly understand our needs, was clear and open about the options in the area, and amazingly, found us exactly the apartment we were looking for, doing all she could to get us in to view early, and pushing the relevant application and paperwork through.
Without Claudia, we would not have found our new home, and I don’t know where we would have ended up. We may even still be looking!
I would highly recommend Claudia. A joy to work with, a highly professional agent, committed to her clients, and importantly with inside knowledge of the area and the options.
Thank you Claudia!
Leyla & Guillaume
We absolutely loved working with Kaeppler! From the minute we let her know we were (urgently) looking for a new rental to the lease signature, we have appreciated Kaeppler’s dedication, professionalism and transparency throughout the process of finding us a new home.
Kaeppler took the time to understand our preferences and needs, only showing us apartments matching our wishlist and provided honest advice. She was always available and present, prompt to answer every single email and message, and was very thorough in explaining each step of the process to us.
Even during the (long) board’s approval process, Kaeppler stayed calm and reassuring which made the entire experience less stressful for us. Kaeppler has stayed in touch to make sure everything was still going well after we moved in.
Thank you Kaeppler for everything, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you!
Ulli & Sophie
I highly recommend working with Kaeppler Rissmann of the Rahmé Team at Compass. Kaeppler helped my family to relocate from out-of-state to Brooklyn. Kaeppler's expertise and efficient planning turned the hunt for a good apartment into a success. She ensured that during each trip to New York, we'd view many suitable properties – helping us secure a fantastic apartment.
Kaeppler is exceptional at what she does, providing a client-focused approach to finding new homes. She not only carefully selected apartments that matched my family's many needs but also offered honest and invaluable advice. Unlike other agents I've worked with, Kaeppler made the process feel collaborative, more like working with a supportive teammate than a typical real estate agent. She went above and beyond and I would work with her again, anytime.
Robert S.
I have worked with both Fouad and Grace on a few different sales and purchases in Brooklyn. They are super friendly, always available and treated me like I was their family. I couldn’t recommend a better duo.
Raji M.
We have known Grace and Fouad Rahme for the past 10 years. Grace helped us buy our investment condo in Brooklyn in 2012. Since then, she has been helping us manage this rental property very efficiently. She helps us find very good tenants and manages renewals and helps handle issues/repair work. For 10 years we have had almost no issues with tenants paying rent on-time and/or maintaining the space. Grace's emotional intelligence and business skill set are unmatched. She prioritizes client interests, goes above and beyond in any given situation, has excellent communication skills, and empathizes with clients to resolve their challenges. Overall her services far exceed our expectations! We are truly blessed to have Grace as our real estate broker where it is hard to find a trustworthy person. I would recommend Grace with all my heart to anyone who I know without any hesitation.
Darren E.
Grace and Fouad Rahme are some of the best in the business and anyone looking to buy or sell a property should give them a call. They helped my partner and I look for an apartment in Brooklyn and were immensely helpful through every step. I will continue to use them for every real estate need in the city. There is no better tag team in NYC
Suzanne R.
Smart, savvy and strategic, Grace and Fouad Rahme are phenomenal real estate agents. From the moment we met this remarkable team we knew we were in excellent hands. Not only do they have an encyclopedic knowledge of current market trends, but they were literally hands-on, deploying their cadre of painters, plumbers and carpenters who turned our co-op into a true showplace. They have a keen eye for home design, helping us update every room with an eye towards buyer appeal. Grace and Fouad worked tirelessly, instantly responding to our texts and phone calls and calmly holding our hands every step of the way.
Their diligence and hands-on approach was especially helpful, as we were out-of-state sellers. Their brilliant staging and compelling advertising got our co-op sold in just a few days. It was the highest price ever paid for a co-op in our building! We were especially impressed with the Rahme's deep ties to the community and charitable endeavors. We recommend Grace and Fouad without hesitation.
Annemarie
Working with Kaeppler was an absolute pleasure! Her personalized approach and genuine interest in my needs made all the difference in finding my dream apartment in NYC. From patiently listening to my preferences to being available for me to ask questions to going above and beyond to schedule viewings that fit my schedule, she truly made me feel extra valued as a client. While navigating through online listings on my own and communicating with more or less trustworthy people I almost lost hope in finding a place that fits my criteria. But then I met Kaeppler. Her talent to listen and understanding her clients situation is incredible. Thanks to her expertise and support, I'm now settled into a place that feels like home. I can't thank Kaeppler enough for her exceptional service and would highly recommend her to anyone in search of their perfect NYC home!
Caitlyn R.
My boyfriend and I worked with Kaeppler and the Rahme Team at Compass to find our first apartment in New York City. Kaeppler was fantastic to work with. Very responsive and dedicated to her work. She was able to find us a great apartment that fit our needs and was within our price point. She also eased the complicated rental process by helping to alleviate lots of application paperwork for us. We highly recommend the team’s services to anyone looking for their new home in NYC!
Vanessa J.
The Rahme Team, went above and beyond to help us find our home. They were always available and extremely knowledgeable. I could not recommend them more highly.
Michael L.
Grace and the Rahme team are exceptional and dedicated to servicing their clients in a phenomenal manner. Thank you so much!
Kiersten F.
We recently hired Fouad and Grace to sell our Brooklyn condo and we could not have been happier. They are a sophisticated team and had an impressive amount of insight into the market and its direction, even as it became volatile. But they stand out for also seamlessly maneuvering into the nitty gritty, unglamorous work of selling. We didn't live in the apartment and they took on repairs, helping discard furniture, coordinating with the super for various minutiae that came up, showing up as needed to the apartment, and even choosing paint colors. It really made the difference to have a team that took on all aspects of a sale, and never wavered from our best interests. Absolutely recommend!
Dr. Nicola A.
Kaeppler is the most compassionate agent we have ever worked with. Thanks to Kaeppler's help we found the perfect house for our family and our needs. We came from overseas and it was not easy to overlook all offers in this very difficult market. Kaeppler knew exactly what our needs are and found the perfect match. She was so well organized and very caring and thoughtful - she even helped us upon arrival and arranged so much more than in her work description. We are extremely grateful for all that she has done for us and helped us with. Without Kaeppler we would have probably not been able to settle so comfortably and well. We are highly recommending her and her team and would always work with her again.
Marcus B.
I've known Fouad for over 10 years now and have worked with him and Grace on many real estate transactions as a mortgage professional. Every client they have ever had said they were the best and most honest realtors they've ever worked with. They are very patient and responsive, excellent negotiators, and always put their clients' needs ahead of their own (unlike many realtors). They are absolute experts in Brooklyn and Manhattan. We just closed a lovely client that took 4 years to find a home after many offers which speaks to how loyal Foaud's clients are, and how hard they work for their clients. You cannot go wrong as a buyer or a seller in Brooklyn or NYC if you choose Fouad to help you on your journey.
Jay H.
I've known The Rahme Team at Compass for over a year and have worked with them on more than a dozen listings. In my work, I come across hundreds of agents, so I can quickly tell the difference between a good one and a bad one. Grace and Fouad are among the best. They’re extremely knowledgeable, highly professional, and genuinely care about their clients. They don’t cut corners and consistently go above and beyond to ensure their listings are presented in the best possible way. Working with them has always been a seamless experience, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for agents who truly put their clients first.
Jacob Rhymes
I not only worked with Grace and Fouad, but lived in the basement unit below the their home, and I can say without reservation that they are easily the best agents and the best landlords I've had the chance to work with. They went well beyond what I could have possibly expected, and made huge accommodations for me when unanticipated circumstances came up. They're great people and a great team - 10/10
Rob S.
Our experience renting an apartment with Claudia Caicedo was truly great. She was very helpful and highly communicative throughout the process of securing the apartment, even going as far as checking in after we had moved in to see how things were.
I have no hesitation recommending Claudia. She's a true gem.
