Adrian did a phenomenal job on my apartment renovation. When we spoke about the job, he asked good questions to really understand my needs and goals. And made really good suggestions on what I should and shouldn’t do, and how to get a great outcome at a great price. He made the process seemless, and executed flawlessly on getting the job done on time and on budget. He was clean, organized, thorough, and transparent in everything he did. He exceeded expectations and everything turned out beautifully!

Working with Adrian from Altered Perspective made a difficult transition extremely smooth and easy. I had to sell my family home of 50+ years, and Adrian was there every step of the way. My challenge was a house that had not been updated since 1970 and the fact that I lived 500 miles from NY. Adrian managed updates to make the house ready for selling: painting, updated lighting fixtures, old carpeting removed so hardwood floors came to life. He ensure the house was extra cleaned, staged and photographed. He has a great personable touch with interested buyers and made sure we had enough open houses to show it off. He met with buyers at crazy times to accommodate their schedule. He hunted down old permits, worked with my estate lawyer, and even helped me move and sell furniture. What I like best about working with Adrian is that he is extremely solution-driven. I’ve always felt that no matter the issue, he wants to help and make everything easy. I highly recommend him and would happily hire him again.

It’s absolutely one of the most exciting times in ones life to become a first time home owner. As soon as we closed on our house, we handed Adrian the keys and he painted our 3 bedrooms for us. Not only did he do an amazing job, but he left the rooms super clean enabling us to move right in as soon as the moving trucks arrived! I can’t recommend Adrian Fidalgo (of Altered Perspective Realty) highly enough. He has such an amazing hands on experience with anything and everything having to do with building -management and home renovations. I refer him to all of my friends.

I recently bought my first home here in Brooklyn and the process freaked me out from start to finish. My buyer broker was Adrian Fidalgo and he helped me through that process making my life much easier. It was through this that I realized he was a project manager so I hired him to manage the renovation that was needed on my house which turned out to be quite a bit. He worked with my contractor and their subs to make sure everything got done properly and in a timely manner. This was also my first experience with a contractor and they were very, very difficult, so if Adrian was not on board I do not know how I would’ve been able to have gotten through the entire process. And since I lived a bit of a distance away from the new property and could not be present for a large portion of the time, it was very helpful to have his eyes and input on the project the entire time it took to get through everything for us to be able to move in. He knew when to be aggressive when they were slacking and could get them back on track for me. And to be honest, without Adrian I feel like the project would’ve never been finished and I would’ve been hugely ripped off by my contractor. So my wife and I are grateful to have had him on board with purchasing and renovating our first home!

My Husband and I had the pleasure of working with Adrian as we embarked on the search for our forever home. I found Adrian to be knowledgeable, courteous, patient, passionate and very accommodating. During our search, I was eight months pregnant and my husband, being in the military was away on duty. Adrian went above and beyond to assist, ensuring that inspections were done, worked with our bank to ensure that paperwork was submitted promptly and provided invaluable advance, reliving lots of stress which were greatly appreciated as I prepared to welcome my little one. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our home which we knew we wouldn’t have gotten if not Adrian’s hard work and experience. Highly recommended!

Adrian Fidalgo (of Altered Perspective Realty) helped me complete a full gut renovation of my two bedroom, two bathroom, two-story home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in early 2015. After dealing with the recent loss of a very close family member, the task of completing the gut-reno was absolutely terrifying. Me and my husband had never executed a large scale renovation before–this was hands down, the most stressful period of my entire life. Upon meeting Adrian on day one, I knew he was the person I wanted to work with. He all but held my hand while guiding me through the entire 4 month renovation. My husband and I both work full time so we needed someone to schedule and organize tradesmen, deal with vendors, oversee workers, and receive deliveries. Adrian did all that plus some. He was with me for vendor appointments and helped me select many of the materials and fixtures for the entire home. He stressed about countless major and minor details so I didn’t have to. I saw immediately the pride he takes in his work–he saw my project as his project. It truly felt like the timely and flawless completion of my home was just as important to him as it was to me. He was easy to work with, professional and efficient– but tough with vendors and tradesmen when I needed him to be. When the project first started, I didn’t realize how important it would be to enjoy the company of my project manager. I worked closely with Adrian for 4 months–talking, texting and/or meeting with him almost every day during that time period. In hindsight, I see that he turned a stressful period of my life into a, dare I say, “fun” experience. Frankly, I am so glad it’s over and if I never do a gut-reno for as long as I live, it will be too soon. But now I live in the home of my dreams, and I feel like I’ve gained a personal friend as a result. Thanks Adrian!!

I’ve had the good fortune to know Adrian for 20+ years and highly recommend his company. In that time, he has worked for me on many jobs – from interior home improvements to finding suitable housing. He is very solution-driven and has an extremely personal touch. He always makes himself available for me during a job and ensures that his results exceed my expectations. It would be difficult to find someone who knows the real estate business as well as Adrian, but who also cares as much about his clients.

Adrian is a perfectionist professional that I had the chance to work with. He has been truly involve with buying this property in 2016 , the home improvements(that was a lot and listing and finding suitable buyers and selling the house in 2018. He has been keeping me updated, giving smart recommendations and been hands on with managing the requirements. I have felt that he has been giving me his honest opinions, felt like I was working with family. I highly recommend him and would be more than happy to work with him any time.
