Great experience! I worked with Arielle to find an apartment and she was extremely helpful and made the experience smooth and easy. Highly recommend. read more

My boyfriend and I set aside a day to look for apartments in Manhattan. We emailed a bunch of different listings that we found off StreetEasy, Hot Pads etc. and one of them was an open house listing that Jody was hosting that afternoon. She told us to come by from 5:30-6:30pm to view the place. We walked in and Jody was very welcoming and helped answer our questions. After we left, we looked at a few other places that night. Around 9pm I emailed Jody thinking that the apartment was probably taken already since it was such a good find. I was also thinking she wouldn't respond since it was so late. Jody responded that night and told us to fill out an application the next day. We filled it out, gathered our paperwork (which took hours) and Jody was super patient with us while we got everything ready. We sent in the paperwork, Jody responded a few hours later congratulating us that we were approved! She made arrangements with us to sign the lease the next day, and then also helped us coordinate a time with our landlord to get the keys. She made the stress of finding a place MUCH less stressful. Thank you Jody! - Taylor & Matt read more

Giving 5 stars after working with Moni. I had a few brokers show me a few places, but overall was not satisfied with their level of service (rushy, and didn't seem genuine) On a Friday evening, Moni showed me a gorgeous studio on the UWS that was exactly what I was looking for. After having a look, we went right to the office to submit the paperwork I had available. I needed another business day to gather the rest, and throughout this time, I felt comfortable that Moni was communicating with the landlord and letting them know I was serious to make sure that I was at the front of the line (as much as he could). He was very patient, easygoing, and highly responsive. I am very happy with my apartment, landlord, and the service I received from the Dansar Group. read more

Moni was extremely responsive, attentive, and reassuring throughout the (very stressful!) process of finding an apartment in NYC. We had initially found a listing on streeteasy where we met him, loved the unit but it wasn't exactly what we wanted - so we asked him to let us know if anything else came up. Not even a week later Moni emailed us with a brand new listing that was exactly what we wanted and he ensured we were the first to see it and get our application in. Although the approval process was extensive and the move in costs high, that is typical for NYC and Moni did his best to make us feel informed and comfortable throughout. Thanks Moni! read more

I'm moving from Chicago to NYC for a new job and had a very short amount of time to find a new place. I've heard so many awful things about finding apartments in NYC and assumed I'd be living in a shoebox with no windows. Thankfully I found a unit with Dansar and it literally could not have been easier, I'm still in shock at how easy the process was. I was able to see the apartment during a visit to NYC, but did the entire signing virtually from Chicago. I worked with Arielle the entire time - she made everything so easy and had great communication. My parents (who came with for the tour) absolutely gushed about her - she was very personable and confident in how she spoke and answered questions. My mom told me she felt better about me renting that unit, because compared to all the other people we worked with, Arielle made her feel confident that this was a good space and the company was legitimate. I'd highly recommend Dansar for anyone looking for a new space in NYC. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Dansar Group, specifically Moni Swed. Under normal circumstances finding the right apartment and going through the application process can be difficult, but amidst a pandemic while applying from across the country it would seem all but insurmountable. Moni went above and beyond, not only to show us the location (photos, video, FaceTime) but also went to bat for us to get our application approved. It was a stress free application process, which as many can attest is not always the case. Moni Swed and the Dansar Group have my highest recommendation. read more

Depends who you work with... Assaf was the listing broker for the apartment we wanted. He initially seemed really nice and helpful, but that all turned around once we submitted our application. Prior to submitting the application, he promised to help us negotiate lease terms and fixes in the apartment (cleaning, painting, etc). Neither happened. He did not help us negotiate anything and furthermore after receiving his commission, he ignored all calls and texts from me as well as my broker. The lack of communication was a bit alarming, and we started to worry because we were nearing the start date of our lease and had not heard anything from him. Finally after I confronted him with how he had been ignoring our questions he begrudgingly responded to my broker. I understand that he was not our broker and did not care, but his attitude towards us was rude and unprofessional. When we finally received the keys to the apartment, we discovered that our key to the building did not work. After a few days we managed to get in touch with Dansar, and Itay helped us make a copy of the key. He was very nice and helpful. The Dansar group has nice listings, just make sure to work with the right broker. read more

Moni: 5/5 We worked with Moni to find a 2 BR on the upper west side. We responded to a Streeteasy ad, and Moni emailed us to schedule an appointment within a few hours. We saw the apartment a day later, and were putting in an application later that afternoon. Moni was helpful, friendly, and responsive throughout the whole process. I'd recommend him and Dansar Group for anyone hunting for a great rental on the upper west side. read more

Very rude and disrespectful. Refusing to show apartment and hung up on me. Never experienced such disregard and condescension working with anyone whom considers themselves a "professional". read more

I worked with Moni to find my apartment in NYC. I was moving across the country, so I was naturally very nervous and uncertain. Moni and the Dansar Group team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional through the whole process. At times, he would even answer my emails at 11PM! The next time I look for an apartment, I will definitely work with them! read more

We were looking for an apartment throughout the city that would be a good fit for us. After viewing many apartments, we finally came across one that fit all of our needs in the UWS. Moni was great at helping us through the entire process of securing the apartment. His easy going personality and quick responses made us feel in good hands. We highly recommend Moni for finding the right place. read more

We worked with Aliza, and she's truly fantastic! She helped us find a place quick and with minimal struggle. She also was fantastic about communicating between us, the landlord, and the former tenant about things. I would 100% use her if we move again, and highly recommend her! read more

Was working with Moni on securing a beautiful 1 bedroom (no fee) in UWS, unfortunately I didn't get my paperwork together in time, so Moni found another place within the hour that was even BETTER (and not even listed yet!) and arranged a showing within the hour. worked with me to secure this *dream* apartment within 24 hours. Professional, courteous, reliable, fast. Even if he was busy for the slightest second, he arranged coworkers (Dan and Don) to be available for me. So impressed, bought them bottles of wine to say thanks. Very satisfied customer. read more

I recently worked with the Dansar agent, Moni S. Working with Moni was the best apartment search experience that I've ever had. Moni was available at all times to answer any questions or concerns that I had. His responses were quick, efficient, and descriptive. He worked with me to find an apartment in the area that I wanted, within my budget. He was so kind, attentive, and patient during the entire process. I had to find an apartment in a short amount of time, and I was looking from out-of-state. Moni was an excellent pair of eyes to make sure that I would be happy signing on a sight-unseen apartment. I will absolutely use Moni for all of my future apartment needs, and I highly recommend him for the most pleasant apartment search possible. read more

Assaf showed me the perfect apartment, did not pressure me into making a hasty decision and was extremely helpful in answering questions and navigating me through the leasing process. Highly recommended. read more

I worked with Dan Kalagvano for almost 5 years when I was living/renting in the Upper West Side. He was by far the most responsive and highest quality property manager I've ever dealt with. He even continued to help us far after the fact -- when we moved, he helped us recover many old lease documents that I thought were likely lost for good. I can't recommend him and his firm highly enough! read more

I worked with Moni and signed a lease for an amazing apartment, one that's almost too good to be true! He was helpful, flexible, and very patient with us as we were looking and deciding on this apartment. He responded extremely promptly all throughout the process of us filling out our application, being sure to answer any and every question we had. Even after the lease signing he is still prompt in responding to us and helping us with whatever we need, even if it required him going out of his way. We're so thankful to have worked with him, he made the process of renting an apartment really easy! read more

My broker Moni was professional, persistent and helped me get a beautiful new apartment with everything I wanted very quickly. Highly recommend! read more

For three girls who have never lived in the city, we couldn't have asked for a better broker to help us every step of the way. Aliza Citrin was extremely helpful and accessible via email. She always answers in a timely manner and is attentive. Her high-energy is contagious and her flexibility is really what made the whole transition manageable. We requested to sign the lease at the apartment itself and she accommodated with no hesitation. You could tell she truly loves her job and it makes the whole process that much more enjoyable. No matter how many late night emails, I never felt as though I was a burden because she was constantly eager to help. I plan to stay in contact with her if I need a broker in the future and I would recommend her to my friends/family as well. read more

Worked with Moni Swed to find an apartment in UWS. Extremely fast and smooth process with no issues. Moni was very helpful in answering all my questions even over the weekend to make things work. Very pleased with the find and excited for my new place! read more

My husband and I had a great experience working with Jody and Will at the Dansar Group. We are new to New York and had a difficult renter profile. They really worked with us to show us apartments within our budget and with a flexible landlord. We saw properties that I hadn't come across online, whether I missed them or they had more exclusive showings I don't know, but the properties were all very high quality. Jody was always available for questions and really helped us through the renting process. She negotiated the terms of the agreement, broker fee, and continued working with us after the lease was signed. Not only that, I liked Jody and Will so much that I will definitely stay in touch with them. Frankly, I don't think there is a better experience than liking your brokers so much you want to stay friends with them! Thank you guys for a fantastic apartment! read more

Dansar was very helpful in the stressful process of finding an apartment. Not only did Etai get the process done quickly and easily, but they continue to help me with things like renewal questions etc. Always accessible and answers the phone when you need them. I love my apartment and will be using Dansar in the future. read more

I had such a great experience with Aliza at Dansar Realty! I was moving uptown from the village and totally overwhelmed by the new environment, listings, prices, etc. Aliza was incredibly helpful and showed me several places in my desired location and budget. She was really respectful of my budget, time, and the things I needed from an apartment/building, which for me has been a rare find in real estate. Aliza never pressured me, but continued to check in and update me about the building and apartment as things progressed (painting, some minor fixes, etc.) She even came with me to my lease signing to help make sure I understood everything and all my questions could be answered. I will happily recommend Aliza to every friend I know looking for a place in the city!! She really made the process as stress-free as possible. read more
