As first-time homebuyers, working with Roman Trevino was perhaps the best decision we could have…read moremade for this overwhelming process. He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!

This review is coming from someone who has a serious case of apartment hunt PTSD. I've had two…read moreapartments in Manhattan both experiences were a complete disaster. A much needed change of scenery brought me to Astoria, which is how I stumbled upon Zikos. A blessing in disguise? I think so! It took less than 24 hours from walking into the office to signing a lease. Thiago was an amazing broker who explained everything very carefully, was attentive, and made the process incredibly easy. I even got to meet the landlord face-to-face at the lease signing. What I appreciate the most is that this isn't some huge management company, but rather, you really feel like it is family owned and they care about the Astoria neighborhood very much. Needless to say, Zikos is great and I feel very lucky to have worked with them!

Extremely professional & friendly guy with extensive knowledge of the area who always met me on time for appointments and, unlike other agents I've had in the past, I didn't feel extreme pressure to make a decision immediately (which I hate). He had no problem showing me any of the apartments again for a second time if I wanted and I would definitely recommend him and his company if you're looking to rent an apartment.

I wish I could put more than 5 stars because Abigail and George deserve way more than 5! After…read morepatiently waiting for months and months while my parents went back and forth over whether to sell or not, we were finally able to stick to our plan and list and stay listed with Abigail and George. Within just one week, we got more than 10 offers, many above asking price!! We took the offer we liked the best and proceeded with the deal. Our biggest obstacle was cleaning out the house, so Abigail and George referred to us two great companies to help out. They also continually checked in the whole time, to see if we needed any other help whatsoever. When we lost an important paper, Abigail helped us get another copy and even printed it out for my Dad since she knew he was busy cleaning up and might not even have a printer working anymore. Abigail said she thought of my parents like her own and she meant it 100%! On the final day when they had to hand over their keys, my parents still weren't fully done cleaning out, so Abigail herself helped move things and disassemble things (I'm sure George would have too, but he was at another appt). She even stored some stuff into her own car and brought it over to my sister's to temporarily store for my parents. Where else will you find brokers as caring, thoughtful, and compassionate as Abigail and George? If you are looking to buy or sell in Queens, you must contact them. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make!

The photos taken of our unit were lovely, and I really think helped to increase engagement and offers. They were also very proactive and gave great advice in dealing with the stressful process of getting buyer board approval. We would absolutely recommend them for handling a sale! They were possibly the one aspect of the process that did not add to our stress but instead helped it.

I contacted Welcome Home Real Estate recently and explained my situation; the fact that I was…read moreseeking a studio apartment in Sunnyside for my son who has a poor credit rating but that I would be the guarantor and live out of state. The person I spoke with was super professional, straight speaking but kind, and took her time with me. Her advice however was really discouraging and quite absolute - I was so depressed after getting off the phone with her- she suggested that I might look for a room for him to rent somewhere because with a budget of $2,000 and low credit on his part; that no one would really want to work with that profile or mine as an out of state guarantor. Merely 12 days later, he is now set up with a lovely studio in a nice building, one block from the train in Sunnyside for $2,100. The moral of this story is as "professional" as the professionals may be, consult more than one. Some are more open, more nuanced, more willing to find solutions and more apt to think creatively than others. Find the individual realtor and the real estate firm that best fits your outlook.

So often, in all businesses one encounters people in customer-facing jobs who really seem to hate people. Maria and John are super friendly, honest, and really seem to enjoy working with people in the community and helping them find the right home. A lot of brokers we met with made us feel like they were doing us a favor by showing us an apartment and made us worried about our chances of finding the right place. Maria made us feel good about ourselves and put us at ease. Moving is always hard, but Metroline truly made our move as stress free as possible. I would definitely recommend Maria to anyone--though I hope not to have to use her services again for many many years. :)

She took great care to understand our preferences, and book a combination of tours between listings we found, and listings she found - some even before they hit the market.

We made the appointment for 4:15pm at 11am this morning. In less than 5 hours to view the apartment, it increased $100 dollars. I thought it may have been an error. No word from Spito Maravegias. After viewing the apartment, I ask for an application. Spiro Maravegias response was "this is the thing" and gave a huff as Spiro Maravegias asked "what is your credit score" as if he premeditated a disappointment. I was ten points below. Spiro Maravegias asked did we spoke about it, "No we did not" was my reply. Nor was it in the description. Spiro Maravegias gave a sad voice and said "well sorry". I dismissed myself by saying have a good day feeling utterly insane for coming. Totally fine. But he didn't bother to say; he would get back in touch if there are other opportunities, if anything comes up, sole guarantee or whatever its called. etc. Why would you invite someone to the viewing without that information. ( Secondly, did you raise the asking price LAST MINUTE, that was beyond strange). Photos for proof below that it was changed in a matter of an hour or so. Better communication and create a better approach when you assume something is up not to your standards.
