We met Danielle by accident at an open house. The house we were looking at wasn't quite right and she mentioned she had a perfect place for us. She then proceeded to show my husband and I a great house. As first time buyers, we were quite nervous, but Danielle guided us through the buying process and gave us great advice. I would highly recommend working with her. read more

We just closed on our home and would love to say a few words about our experience with Melanie. While beginning the home search on our own we were hoping to meet someone we could entrust to be our realtor. Unfortunately, after attending several open houses in the area, we did meet several realtors but none of which was courteous enough to actually take us seriously or return our phone calls to help us find a property that best suited our needs. In an intense real estate market like Brooklyn's, it did not seem as though anyone cared enough to actually help us find a home that worked for us....it seemed as though they must have so many potential buyers for these properties that the human aspect of their job went out the window. That was when we met Melanie at an open house. From the start she was very professional. At the open house she allowed us to explore the home on our own and made herself available if we had any questions, rather than most who follow you around so closely you can feel them breathing down your neck. We liked the property we saw, but we didn't love it. We chatted for a bit and Melanie asked if it was okay to contact us with any properties that might fit with our needs. I honestly thought to myself, sure we will hear from you, just like everyone else said they would contact us. Much to our surprise, Melanie did reach out to us about a week later and showed us a few more properties. What is unique about Melanie in this market is that she actually cares about her clients and wants to help them find a home that suits them, rather than just making a quick sale. This was apparent in our conversations and with our discussions with her regarding the property we ultimately purchased. Melanie is genuinely a caring individual whose charisma is contagious and her level of experience is apparent in the relationship we established. We thank her for helping us find our first home and are very lucky to have met her. Also of note, we met Wade Jabour and Andrew at second viewings of the 2 main properties we were interested in. They were both welcoming, professional, and informative, and we would like to recommend them as well. We highly recommend Melanie and Jabour Realty to anyone in their home search! read more

This is a family run business and it certainly feels that way (in a good way). I've interacted with bigger real estate companies who don't seem to care about the people they're representing and they're just thinking about their broker fees. This was very much the opposite! We worked with Melanie and she was wonderful. Very personable and makes you feel like she is on your side. Very quick to respond to emails and texts. Since we had a dog it was also an extra bit of work and she worked to get that approved by the landlord. Thanks again Melanie :) read more

I don't usually give reviews but I felt the need to do so for Danielle because she went above and beyond to assist with the purchase of our house. She was professional, responsive and honest. We had a few pending items before we could close on our house. We later realized that the owner lived in another state but Danielle personally made sure each of these items were taken care of and provided updates with very thorough follow-ups. The entire process was very smooth and we felt as if she was really working with us as if we were a family friend. She did not have the "take it or leave it" attitude like so many of the other real estate agents in Brooklyn that we had encountered during our search. I would definitely recommend Danielle and Jabour Realty to anyone that is looking to purchase or sell a property. read more

Wasn't very helpful at all . Very dismissive, long to contact back . if i could've given zero stars i would've!

Loved my experience with working Jabour Realty and Danielle Jabour in particular. She goes above and beyond the expectations of your realty providing great advice and guidance through our house buying process! I highly recommend using Jabour Realty! read more

Me and my sisters had been considering buying a house together in Brooklyn but weren't too seriously looking. We heard about Jabour Realty in Bay Ridge and stopped by the office to check out what they had listed. We met Danielle and learned that it was a family run business which was really nice, and she helped us work on what we were looking for. After getting a great group of listings together in different neighborhoods, Danielle was able to find us an awesome house and negotiate our needs. The entire staff at Jabour Realty was helpful throughout our entire process and made the experience really enjoyable. You can feel that they give their customers the attention and information that they deserve and need. Just when we thought we might not really get a house at that time, they helped us find the perfect one! I definitely recommend checking them out; they have so many exclusive listings which speaks to the trust homeowners in Brooklyn have in them. read more

Searching for an apartment in Brooklyn, a new area to us was stressful. Danielle at Jabour Realty was super helpful! She was very professional, always quick to respond, and even helped us with local area recommendations for good parks, restaurants and suggestions for a nursery school and babysitters. She made us feel welcome in a new neighborhood and the new apartment we're now settled into is perfect. Definitely recommend the company and Danielle. read more

I highly recommend using this company to rent or buy. I moved from California, and after walking around Bay Ridge, noticing the many "For Sale" signs Jabour had up, I decided to walk in one day, with the hopes of them helping me to find my new home. First off, it is such a clean office, and when I walked in I was greeted by everyone who was in the office. After speaking with Wade, the broker (who also is a Mortgage broker) he helped me know my price range, because I was not sure where to begin. This office is family owned and operated, but it seems that the other agents, even though are not "family" per say.... are all apart of this family at their work, which was nice to see. I worked with Danielle Jabour who at first, sat with me at the computer and went through EVERY listing that was out there! I did not feel as if I were sitting with a SALES agent. She was so friendly and layed back, nice to have that warm comfortable feeling with someone during a business transaction. We have seen so many homes together and I have FINALLY purchased my first home in Brooklyn! THe whole office, is professional, yet so friendly you feel comfortable. My mortgage and house sale went so smoothly, I hardly had to do a thing! Wonderful people & company... no wonder I see they have been in business for over 20 years.... This is proof kindness gets you far! Thanks Jabour Realty , I would really recommend renting an apartment of buying a home from them without a doubt. read more

Without the help of Jim Brocking from Jabour Realty there's no way I would be living in the great apartment that I do now. Jim responded to an ad that I placed on Craig's List and invited me to come look at a place the next day. Turns out this was the one. After looking at about a dozen apartments by other brokers, the one that Jim showed me was the diamond in the rough. And even though I knew right away that this was the one I wanted, Jim was very sensitive to the concerns of my fiancé, who has never lived in NYC, and, due to unavoidable circumstances, was unable to see the apartment with me. Needless to say, she was hesitant. Jim was very patient, sensitive to my fiancé's needs, and never pushed. In the end, Jim was able to keep the apartment available to us for as long as my fiancé needed to make up her mind. And she made the right choice! Also worth mentioning: Jim is easy to get in touch with; he replies to email in a very timely manner; and he's just a good guy who's easy to like. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jim Brocking to anyone. 'Nuff said! read more

I'm fairly (read: VERY) jaded about the state of realty in NYC. I'm usually the gal who investigates all the options out there like some OCD fiend and avoid brokers like the plague. But I have to say, Danielle and the team at Jabour are the beacon of professionalism, legitimacy, promptness and courteousness in the otherwise bottom-feeding, parasitic, shark filled water that is NYC real estate. Danielle was straightforward, hard working, kind, and thorough through this whole thing. We love our apartment, our landlady and they more than earned their fee! read more

I worked with Danielle who was amazing. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and really listened to the features that were important to me. She was communicative and always available to answer any and all questions that I had. The process felt like I was working with a friend ... someone who was looking out for my best interests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

We first met Danielle at an open house and immediately felt an instant connection. From the start, she was very professional and respectful. At the open house, she allowed us to explore the home on our own and made herself available when we had questions. We liked the property we saw and made an appointment to see it again the following day. Danielle made time and scheduled us for a second tour without any issues. Every conversation we had with Danielle was honest and genuine and that is what we loved most about working with Danielle. Despite the stress that comes with buying our first home, Danielle made the whole process smooth sailing. I have never met such a kind and sweet agent who was so responsive to our needs. Thank you Danielle for helping us with our journey and we cannot wait to close on our first home! Five stars for exceptional service and an amazing experience! We highly recommend Danielle and her team!!! read more

I found out that an apartment I really wanted was on the market. I got in touch with Dina at Jabour. Dina has been absolutely amazing from the first minute I met her. I am in sales and I know when a person is truly genuine - and I can tell you that Dina is 100% genuine. She reaches out to me all the time to make sure that everything is OK in the apartment and she is always available if I need to speak to her about something. Dina is a true professional! I recommend anyone who is looking for an apartment to reach out to Dina at Jabour - You will not be disappointed! read more

Danielle Found me a great apartment within 48 Hours!. i highly recommend Jabour Realty if you need to find a new apartment .

I just cannot say enough good things about Danielle at Jabour Realty- I'd been searching for THE "needle in the haystack" for well over 2 months... I'd corresponded with a MULTITUDE of realtors, brokers and the like, only to get responses days, even weeks later, or to find the apartment had been rented already. I went on MANY "go sees" in neighborhoods all over the NY area, just to be SORELY disappointed by what was available and the offerings of the neighborhood... I came across an ad on StreetEasy, sent an email and heard right back from Danielle- My husband and I were in the process of being "in between" homes and rearranged our schedule to stay an extra day to see the property- I am SO GLAD we did! Our new place in Bay Ridge is "all that, AND a bag of chips"... We were worried- if it's too good to be true, it usually is- but in this case, I can honestly say we found the absolute perfect fit for our budget, needs AND desires to boot... And Danielle was an integral part in making this all happen- I sent her so many emails and texts over a period of 2 days I was sure she'd think I was crazy! But she answered every question I had, was professional, prompt, and worked all details out with us and our new (awesome) landlords! I would HIGHLY recommend Danielle and the team at Jabour Realty for anyone looking for more of a personal experience when apartment/housing hunting... I'd never even considered the Bay Ridge area... Now, I couldn't be happier with our new place! I'm just thrilled to have happened to find Jabour Realty through a 3rd party online ad! Happy hunting!!! read more

Jim Brocking from Jabour Realty Co. is INCREDIBLE ! My fiance and I had been looking for a place with many realtors and must have seen 20+ apartments...exhausting to say the least. We told Jim exactly what we wanted (like we did all the other realtors before him) and he did something different ! He LISTENED and DELIVERED ! Not only did he get us what we wanted, he got us a place with an extra bedroom/office in an excellent location. We are as happy as can be and Jim followed up right after we moved in to make sure everything was smooth. Thank you Jim for being so fabulous !! Cheers ! read more

my experience at Jabour was great. I worked with Melanie and she was amazing. she helped me find an apartment within my budget and it exceeded my expectations. she was not pushy or agressive, but very professional and compasstionate. the place was very warm and welcoming. read more

I usually don't like working with real estate brokers but I can't stress what an amazing experience I've had working with Danielle and Wade at Jabour Realty. Danielle showed me one apartment and I signed the lease on the spot. The process was seamless, straightforward, and genuine. Since I am new to the area, Danielle also gave me great tips on where to dine, where to shop, and what schools are good in the neighborhood. I stop by the office every so often and every time I feel welcomed. It's a true "New York" business and you feel like family. I am extremely happy in my new apartment and I love Bay Ridge. I would highly recommend Jabour Realty for any real estate needs. read more

Go elsewhere. Wrong information and broken "promises". Sales people at their finest. I'll spare the story, but I am pretty certain you can find better, more professional real estate agents at another company. read more

I highly recommend Renee at Jabour Realty. We'd been looking for an apartment for several weeks and tried to do it on our own - and contacted several other realtors. We hadn't met anyone with the knowledge of the area (bay ridge) and the kindness and courtesy and know how that she had/has. You won't meet a better a realtor. read more

After a bad experience at another company, I'm extremely appreciative of how stress free my experience was with Jabour Realty. Danielle was extremely helpful and friendly right off the bat, and found me the perfect place at the right price. She was very quick, efficient, and informative, and was able to work nights in order to fit my schedule. I will be coming back to Jabour Realty when I'm ready to move again. read more

My experience with Dina at Jabour Realty is that she is a personable crook who is willing to lie to and bait and switch her clients in order to push them into buying. I'm moving from FL to NYC so I contacted a couple brokers to help me find a place to rent, then I flew up to NYC to lock a place down. Here is my encounter with Dina, summarizing her series of lies: 7-15, spoken on phone: -Me: What is your fee -Dina: One month's rent -Me: Okay 7-17, txt: -Dina: There's a place I want to show you at One 74th st. that is 1550 -Me: Yes! [txt screenshot: imgur.com/a/6hjg1 ] 7-17, at Jabour, spoken: -Dina: The place is at One 74 st. My fee is 1.25 months rent for this property -Me: Okay... 7-17, driving to one 74th st., spoken: -Me: is it a 1yr lease? -Dina: yeah they do 1 or 2 yr [...] they only do 2yr -Dina, when we arrive: actually it's 1575, I read it wrong -Me: ok [see place, like it, back to Jabour, she takes all my documentation] 7-17, at jabour, spoken: -Me: How much is the application fee? Do you accept checks? -Dina: You don't pay anything now, just fill out the application and I will send it in tomorrow -[I fill out the application] -Me: Do you know if other people have applied? -Dina: I would have heard if there were other applicants. 7-18, spoken on phone: -Dina: The lady (Barbara?) who sent me the listing had a typo - it's actually 1775, not 1575 (she's apologetic). Do you think you can do maybe 1700? -Me, after thinking about it: Ok, ask 1700 as long as your fee is one month rent, not 1.25 -Dina: Okay, and I will cover the fees (unspecified fees) -Dina, after checking 1700: They want 1775 plus 1st month and security deposit (1 month), can you do that (asking before credit check)? -Me, after thinking for 5 minutes: Okay, 1775 as long as you get one month (not 1.25) and cover the unspecified fees. -Me, calling back 30 seconds later before she informed them to go ahead: Would there be any issue with me not making 40x rent? (my salary/40=1625) -Dina: No, no, that's what they do in Park Slope (expensive neighborhood), not Bay Ridge. As long as you have good credit and proof of stable employment then there is no problem. We don't do that here. -Me: Okay, go ahead. [Does credit check] 7-18, spoken on phone 10 mins since last phone call: -Dina: Okay, they like you, but they are a little concerned about your salary. They want you to do 1st month, last month, and security deposit, all as certified checks (hard cash). They have another applicant, I know believe me, that has a much better income (over 100k). Let me know. 7-18, I tell her I will call her back and then write everything above down. 7-18, At 11:30am Dina txts saying that the owner needs to know by noon (in 30 minutes) 7-18, (I don't respond) At 12:10am Dina txts me saying that the landlord is willing to do 1st month rent and security deposit (no more last month rent). [This is hard proof that Dina has lied. If they have another applicant that has better income than I do, then that other applicant comes out on top. End of story. Instead, suddenly the 'landlord' is willing to give me the place for less. THIS WOULD NOT BE OFFERED IF THE OTHER BETTER APPLICANT EXISTS. DINA LIED TO ME OUTRIGHT BY STATING THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER APPLICANT IN ORDER TO PUSH ME TO RENT.] [txt screenshot: imgur.com/a/2xRDG ] Lies/deceptions that I initially gave Dina the benefit of the doubt on until it was clear that she had lied to me: -1575 rent instead of 1550 rent -1.25 month fee instead of 1 month fee -Was 1 or 2 yr lease then suddenly only 2 yr -1775 rent instead of 1575 -She said salary wouldn't be a problem before credit check. She was exactly wrong. -No other applicants, suddenly there's a much better applicant. -Soon after it was clear that the other applicant doesn't exist. What I give her some credit for: -Went back to 1 month fee after 1775 price 'mistake' -Didn't ask for application fee upfront In summary, Dina blatantly lied to me about there being another applicant in order to push me to rent, she baited and switched me twice on rent and once on her fee, and she cost me a hard credit pull by lying to me about application requirements (ie. Dina fraudulently pulled my credit). Moral of the story: Do not deal with brokers who lie to you. Deal only with brokers who put their words into writing every step of the way. The second you sense a bait and switch or any unethical practice, leave and don't turn back because it is your money, your time, and your credit on the line. I have no idea why a broker like Dina would lie to and bait and switch a client because the broker works FOR the client, but this is NYC and you are guaranteed to come across snakes. Dina at Jabour Realty is one of those snakes. Dina should be fired and should have her real estate license revoked. Go elsewhere. read more

Unfortunately I have to deal with the building management part of the company since I live in a building that they run the management for. Not impressed at all with the upkeep of the building. Halls are supposed to be vacuumed once a week, they are not. The snow is supposed to be removed in the parking lot it never is and I have to go dig myself out to use my car. I have had 2 assessments in the last 2 years and still haven't seen the new carpeting nor paint job that was promised with these increases. And the manager, the owner's son, big surprise there, is rude when you need something and doesn't put out proper communication when he needs access to something, but expects you to drop your life when he needs something. Don't let them manage your building and I'm definitely not using them to sell my place in the future. read more

Excellent, and very helpful! Melanie did a great job keeping in touch with new places that she thought would interest me, and was very patient and attentive. She was very well-versed in the details of every house and was always quickly available at any time if I had questions. I would definitely go back if I were to find another apartment in the area read more

My husband and I were looking for an apartment for months while so many brokers showed us tiny, old, untaken care of apartments which were really just a waste of time. We then started speaking to Danielle from Jabour Realty and she was the most honest and helpful real estate broker I have ever worked with. She understood completely what it was that we were looking for and didn't try to sell us anything other than that. After keeping in touch she notified us as soon as she heard something that would be perfect for us. It was the first one she showed us and we fell in love with it. We couldn't have found it without the help of someone like Danielle who actually listened to and understood whom we were and what we were looking for. On top of working with a friendly, honest, and helpful person like Danielle we were happy to go through the entire rental process with Jabour Realty as it was straight forward with no surprises and all around the most pleasant experience I have had renting in New York. read more
