She set up 23 (yes - twenty-three) viewings for me in a 3 day weekend and ran around with me the whole time. Kept her cool even when the showing realtor was late once and one time we couldn't get into an apartment. Helped me through the whole buying process - especially the paperwork to get into a co-op. Can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Laura!

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.

They were possibly the one aspect of the process that did not add to our stress but instead helped it.

Carmela Massimo recently helped me sell my Woodside co-op. I appreciated her easy going, honest…read morenature. She wasn't pushy and thoroughly and honestly explained what to expect in the sales process (which for a co-op, can be lengthy). She also pointed me in the direction of an excellent real estate attorney that I used for the closing. Carmela also showed me some apartments years ago when I was buying. She listened to what I was looking for and didn't waste my time trying to sell me on places that weren't for me. I appreciated that honesty. Definitely recommend Carmela and Welcome Home if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the Sunnyside Gardens/Woodside area.

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.

I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. If you need a real estate broker who is not only dedicated and sharp but truly cares about his clients as human beings, look no further than Craig Paulson!

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.
