Giovanni has been the truly professional from the moment that we spoke on the phone all the way…read morethrough the process of finding and buying a house in the very wild and competitive market of Brooklyn. He is incredibly informative and generous with his time - and he knows everything about the business and as it turns out most of the brokers out there. He has assembled a full-service team and he helped me at every step along the way. I cannot recommend him more highly. I found that there are a lot of people that are not working above-board in the real estate business - but Gio is the real thing: an absolute professional with years of experience and a passion for what he does.

I recently had the distinct pleasure working with the Castro Team at Compass. I can't thank them…read moreenough for all of their hard work and attention to detail, which ultimately led to my successful purchase of an HDFC co-op in Hell's Kitchen. Despite my complex application package with over 250 pages of attachments, they assembled a very professional and clearly organized package, submitting it within a week of starting on it. I was then interviewed, approved, and we closed all within the next two weeks...everything went smoothly and lightning fast. If you want things done right, quickly, and professionally, the Castro Team are the team to make it happen. Great people and a true pleasure to work with too!

I was in the market for a rental apartment in Manhattan recently and sought the help of The Heller…read moreOrganization in my search. I worked with Rebecca, who was phenomenal from the outset. She took the time to discover what it was I and my roommates were in search of and quickly curated a list of viable apartments which satisfied all of our search criteria. At the same time, she ensured that this list featured a variety of spaces in order to showcase the diversity of apartments which our budget could afford us, e.g. doorman building vs. walk-up, different neighborhoods, et cetera. As a first-time renters in NY who were not entirely certain of the kind of place in which we wanted to live, we found this to be particularly helpful in identifying what type of apartment we would ultimately choose to rent. Rebecca was incredibly responsive to all my communication and was able to answer any questions which arose throughout the process. When viewing apartments and speaking with her, it was clear that she is incredibly knowledgeable of the market, the array of neighborhoods in which we were looking, and the apartments themselves. Rebecca provided great insight without putting any pressure on us. From my interactions with a few other brokers, it became clear to me that many only have an interest in closing a deal -- even if it left the client discontent. This could not have been further from the truth for Rebecca; it is apparent that her sole objective is the satisfaction of the client. I can say unequivocally that Rebecca achieved this objective with me. I will be sure to work with her whenever I am in the market for an apartment in the future.

This company is a SCAM!!! Their office has been cleared out. I suspect they are already in…read morebankruptcy. This is my first time apartment seeking on Manhattan. At first, the agent, Aria did be a very helpful hand as she showed me a few very attractive apartments. I did applied for one at MidTown East. This is the nightmare comes in... During the application, not only the $100 apply fee was collected, but also the first month rent was collected as a good faith. And Aria did promised this one-month is refundable if a consensus between me and the landlord couldn't be made. Then, I paid the company the one-month good faith. Long story short. This application didn't work out eventually and I decided to stay with the family by terminating this apartment seeking. However, as I terminated working with this company and asked my one-month rent back, they never give me back the money!!!!!! Their office is closed now. And Aria only doges the problem by saying she doesn't know anything about the company. I think I will go for legal procedure.
