Laurence Dukhovny of United National Realty is a wonderful agent to work with as I found out while…read morepurchasing my first home in Brooklyn. Not only did he find the perfect place for me (somewhere I probably would not have thought of looking) he made sure that every step of the move went as smoothly as possible. Larry was a pleasure to work with and wasn't pushy, instead, he was strategic and a great adviser when it came to making an offer. Plus, when any bumps came along, as they always do with real estate transactions, he was there to listen and proactively work them out. I can't thank Larry enough for finding me this beautiful coop and being my advocate through the buying process. I appreciate him listening to all my rantings and staying cool and calm and taking the necessary steps to make sure the sale went through. I highly recommend Larry and his contact information is below. -- Laurence Dukhovny Licensed NYS RE Salesperson United National Realty o: (718) 979-8000

After more than a year of searching for an apartment, I was almost ready to give up, and decided to…read moregive it one more try and contacted United National Realty. Gene was the one to respond to my request and we started working together. The first difference that I noticed was that he actually listened to what I wanted/needed and told me that he will not waste my time showing all the apartments for sale in NYC :) I appreciated that very much, so after discussing the criteria for my search we started the viewing. All the appointments that Gene made with me were around my schedule (which I appreciated very much) and he was always on time! (lateness was a problem that I faced with other brokers, but not United National Realty). True to his word, Gene showed me apartments that matched my criteria and even if they didn't, he would try to explain how it could be fixed/changed in order to qualify... The company was always ready to answer any of my questions and even if my broker was not available, someone was available to assist me. From the moment that I stepped into my dream apartment to the moment when I finally received the keys, United National Realty was with me every step of the way. They went above and beyond their duties to make sure that the process is going smoothly and if not, they did everything in their power to push it forward. Having a very busy work/life schedule, I appreciated the help very much. As a young adult, I mostly use electronic forms of communication and it was not only convenient, but also very reliable because I knew that my emails/texts would be answered in a timely manner. I find this to be a problem with most brokers and was very fortunate to find a Realty company that is up-to-date with technology as the current generation is. Overall, my experience with United National Realty was great, from beginning to the very end! I was very fortunate to have Gene help me in my search... Try them! you will never look at brokers the same way again :)

Because of this I get constant annoying calls from speculators, trying to buy the house where I live that is not for sale. This is an invasion of my privacy and it's just a good example of bad business practices that clearly show this is not a good company to do any sort of business with. Also they're very dishonest, when I first contacted them they insisted my phone number is not on their site. But every time I ask a caller how they got my number they tell me from the Property Shark website. If I could I'd give them negative stars. These people are shady, I wouldn't trust any of the information on their website.

What sets him apart from other realtors I have encountered is how he handles his clients with finesse and genuinely serves with kindness. Makes you feel secure that he's got your best interest throughout the process.

Glad to be working with him and I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling their home. You will thank me later.

Just when we all thought that no one cared about anything; except making money and themselves. Here comes Gary and Homes R Us. They are not Realtors. They are friends, counselors, helpers, and ALWAYS there for you! I've never met anyone in business with more integrity or honesty than Gary. I've been in business for many years. Never have I met a man who actually cares about you and your family. They put integrity and principles above profits. And that's why they are amazing at their jobs!

It would be easy to say that Gennady (Gary) Papirov of Homes R Us is a great realtor, very…read moreprofessional and did an outstanding job for us, but that just would not be enough. This is a story about family and friends and deserves to be told. So, please indulge me and read on. My sister and I grew up in a two-family house with our parents and cousins in South Brooklyn/Park Slope in the 1950's and 1960's. We were and still are a very close family. Careers happen and my sister moved to Los Angeles in 1978 and I in 1980. After our mother passed away in 1993, our dad would go back and forth between his house in Brooklyn where he lived with his nieces (our cousins) and Los Angeles with us. He passed away in September of 2021 in Los Angeles at my sister's house. Years before, he had set up a Living Trust for his house and had two wishes. First, to be buried with our mother and second, to sell the house when he passed so the money could go to us and our cousins. No problem, dad. We got you covered. Right? Yes, but now we needed a lawyer to execute the trust and represent us in the sale of a house, that had been in our family since 1955, as well as a realtor. None of us knew any lawyers or realtors in any of the five boroughs. Lucky for us, I had a good friend from grammar school who was a financial planner. He and I had stayed in touch over the years and he lived in Staten Island. He highly recommended a lawyer, and he and the lawyer highly recommended Gennady (Gary) Papirov of Homes R Us to be our realtor. Boy, oh boy, talk about hitting the Daily Double. Our dad loved to gamble and definitely would have appreciated the reference. Our dad was a few months shy of his 93rd birthday when he passed. He had a good life and died peacefully in his sleep. That's the good news. The not so good news is that because of Covid, he hadn't been back to Brooklyn since his last trip in 2019, and our cousins were extremely sad that they hadn't seen him since that time. Needless to say, that brought up a lot of mixed feelings around selling the house. Not that any of us were in any disagreement about fulfilling his wishes. It's just that 66 years holds a lot of memories and it was very difficult emotionally for all of us, especially our cousins who lived in the house with him and our mother longer than my sister and me. Gary Papirov was definitely the right person to be our realtor on so many levels. Yes, he is very professional, smart and honest, but this situation called for so much more. First of all, Gary lives in Staten Island and that is where Homes R Us is located, and although he also works in Brooklyn, he felt that he needed to work with a realtor in Brooklyn who he had done business with before, Albert Benzaken, and was very familiar with our area, so our cousins could feel comfortable knowing that there was someone in the neighborhood, so to speak, that they could call on if any questions came up. Truth be told, Gary could have easily taken care of our dad's house on his own with no problem and collected the entire commission for himself, but he knew that our cousins, who were all working out of the house due to Covid, needed emotional support around the scheduling to potential buyers, as well as making them feel that this was not all about the money. And another thing. There was a possibility that if our cousins could not find new homes of their own in time for the scheduling of the showings, we were going to postpone the sale. Gary never once pushed the issue. He and Albert just made sure that everyone felt at ease and never pressured. In the end, everything went well and we can't thank Gary enough for putting together a great team. When my sister and I flew back to New York in the summer to bury our dad and have a celebration of his life, everything was going well and everyone was very happy with Gary and Albert. In fact, we all got together one evening with the team and their wives for a wonderful dinner together. We broke break as friends and by the end of the evening we were a big family. Thanks Gary.

When my mom was expecting to sell her home in Edison during the end of lockdown, we spent…read moreconsiderable time researching realtors, checking reviews and better business history, and had three come meet with our family and check out the house. At the time, Raymond was the clear winner for us. He was informed about the area and market, was thorough in his run-thru of the house, had a few options to offer us in terms of direction and was ready for referrals if we chose to do some work before putting it on the market. Plus was the first to reply and very quick with responses to questions later. If we'd opted to reno before the sale, he was able to offer hands-on construction management, so we could have passed that off to him, if we'd wanted. In the end, illness derailed mom's plans and she needed to remain in the home. But Raymond's patience through the process and his follow-up -- including a recent check-in, was very professional and appreciated. On that basis, the family feels confident in recommending him to others.

Jeff Putterman is genuinely the best in business: from his historical knowledge base in the neighborhoods he represents, to his insights into the buildings, and especially his invaluable relationships with other agents in the city. Jeff will tell you like it is, and always be extremely clear and thorough. I can say with full certainty that he will take care of you as he did my husband and I in our apartment hunt. As first time home buyers, I felt the NYC real estate market to be crazy and very predatory. But having Jeff in my corner made me feel very empowered in every decision I made in this process as a young POC woman. I had a LOT of questions and zero insight into this journey and Jeff met all my curiosity with understanding and resources. Any time I had any questions (genuinely any time and any question), Jeff was there in multiple modalities to help me completely understand all aspects of my inquiries. Jeff made me feel welcome and educated through every single step of the way and unlike other realtors did not pressure us about a single thing. His one goal is to find you a home you love. We won't be selling for a very long time, but when and if we do I only want to work with Jeff. :) Thank you Jeff for being so wonderful, kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. You are the golden standard of this profession and we are so incredibly lucky to have worked with you.

Ian was the complete opposite. He is smart, talented, hardworking, trustworthy, high-integrity, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly effective at his job. Our new tenants also raved about Ian's proactive, trustworthy, and candid nature. If you're looking to sell your property, buy a new property, or rent property, I couldn't recommend Ian highly enough. He is meticulous in his role and builds/values relationships with his clients. We would never think of working with anyone other than Ian in our future NYC real estate endeavors. If we could rate Ian more than 5 stars we would.

Ian truly goes above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. As first time home buyers coming from out of state, we had A LOT of questions, not very concrete ideas for what we wanted / where we wanted to be, and quite inflexible schedules. Ian was so patient with us from the very beginning and provided extremely comprehensive answers to our questions as well as great advice to guide us in our search. You can tell that he is very experienced and incredibly knowledgeable about the NYC housing market. During the couple times we were able to visit NYC, Ian was able to accommodate our schedules and spent days taking us all over Manhattan to explore different condo options and different neighborhoods to help us get a better idea of what we're looking for and where we want to focus our search. When we were not in NYC (before and after our visits), Ian stayed in touch with us constantly via phone and email. He really took the time to understand our needs/criteria, answer every single question, recommend listings, prepare us for in-person visits and next steps, and even visited condos on our behalf to take pictures for us. Ian is experienced, responsive, trustworthy, easy to work with, and altogether outstanding. We would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to buy in NYC.
