This review is for Eyal Tanel. While I had spent my life in the NYC renting market, my partner is newbie on the field. I spent about one night collecting all the apartments I wanted to view, The second was a rent stabilized unit listed by Peter Ashe. Eyal got back to us, on the same day and made sure we fit all the categories for the building. He made an appointment for the upcoming weekend. We spent our first day, checking out tiny places with even shitter realtors. Condescending, lazy, and late. The classic combo for many NYC realtors. It was demoralising. The next day, we met Eyal for house warming. He showed up on time, knew the answers to all our questions, and had more than one unit available. He walked us through all available units and explained the pro/cons. I was worried about timing and he was straight up about what was possible. By the time my partner and I left the building, we knew we wanted to move forward. We got the ball rolling the very next day. Eyal processed our application quickly, helping us gather the materials in the most organised manner. He even filled out our city application himself. It was wild. He was super responsive and because he was so experienced, we got approved a week earlier than expected. It was a relief for us! Eyal helped us get the keys a few days earlier, which was a godsend since our prior landlords were being huge assholes about the move out date. Everything went so smoothly. When we got our lease, we got together and Eyal walked us through every part of the lease and since he had worked with the building for nearly a decade, he was well informed about the landlords and super. I'm so used to the every man for themselves, it was nice to have a guiding hand, that was no bull shit, but genuine. Also RESPONSIVE! How great! I would 10/10 recommend. I am typing this from our new flat and it rocks! Grateful for everything Eyal has done. Best realtor I have ever worked with. read more

I had a great experience working with Asher to find my apartment. He was professional, responsive, and made the whole process smooth and straightforward. I would definitely recommend him to others and will be using him again for my next search! read more

Asher was wonderful to work with . We were selling my mothers apt on the UES while we live in Florida , sometimes not an easy task Asher was with us every step of this long distance process and thankfully the apt sold quite quickly ( with his guidance and suggestions ) read more

I worked with Sandra and she was wonderful to work with for a lack o better adjective to describe this amazing woman. We were buying our first home and we also wanted to be a multifamily home to help us with the monthly payments. We also wanted our home to be in NY and to be a big house for our big family and the cherry on top for the unrealistic expectation, we wanted a back yard and parking spot. The worst was not being pre-approve for a high sum of money. Luckily, we had the BEST real state in the city and she made it happen. We have not words to describe how thankful we are. Thank you Sandra. read more

Asher and Sandra made the process of finding an apartment in NYC much less stressful and ultimately very exciting. They were always responsive, professional, and patient. Thank you both for all your help! read more

Meirav helped me find an apartment and she was really personable. A lot of brokers don't care and it's transactional but thanks to them I found a beautiful studio! read more

Asher was an absolute pleasure to work with. He walked us through the entire process and held our hands along the way. He is professional, responsive, bright and generally great to work with. We now have our dream apartment and are very grateful to Asher and the team at Peter Ashe. read more

Thanks to the team of Peter Ashe we found the apartment we dreamed of. A short but clear description of what we were looking for and our new home in NY was presented to us. Thank you for the support during the application and afterwards. Peter Ashe and team is surely to be recommended to everyone who dreams of having a place in NY!!! Thank you !! read more

Meirav G is one of the least ethical and most predatory agents I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. She was paid a full realtor fee for an apartment she never even showed my roommate and I. Never picked up a phone, pressed an elevator button or turned a key in a lock. After we ended our lease there, she attempted to swindle my roommate out of $5000 of fees from years we never lived in that apartment. Avoid her at all costs. She will do everything she can to take advantage of you. read more

Peter Ashe was a helpful and professional real estate brokerage firm. They did what they said they would do and I appreciate that kind of professionalism. Their assistance in applying for a good apartment was very good. read more

Stay away from Eyal Tannel. Most backwards firm ever. Dishonest and rude. If not dishonest, then tremendously vague and condescending. Beware of subelases. We spent weeks negotiating only to find out it was a sublease giving us little to no rights. Something fishy about it too - I showed it to my lawyer. He was certain that it was an alias of a person and only used to give the landlord more rights as well. He unfortunately said this is commonplace amongst certain brokers and landlords in the area who try to take advantage of desperate clients who don't know any better. Complete waste of time and absolutely no respect for the prospective tenants. Eyal went so far to say, "I don't work for you, I work for the landlord" -- something that may be true, but also something that can remain unsaid, don't you think? read more

Asher and Sandra were great, and a pleasure to work with. They were very knowledgeable about the process of finding an apartment, to the closing. I would highly recommend. read more

Meirav Gavrielov from Peter Ashe, asked for upfront money that went against NY laws when renting an apartment, $500 for application, 1 month deposit to submit the rental application, n 1st months rent with that too, ALL 3, TOGETHER, AT SAME TIME, TO HER, WITH APPLICATION. She took advantage of me n the situation. I was traumatized n put off by her because she had her little daughter with her when showing the apartment but then began to threaten me with the police, because I wanted to see the amenities. She said she doesn't usually work with people like me, she didn't believe I could afford the apartment, & that I look like I live I harlem but not this kind of building. I was extremely bothered by her comments, especially in front of her daughter, didn't want to respond to her. I was just very humiliated by her words. Stay away from these people. This agency where she is associated has a rep of doing this bc they think this is how it's done in Nyc to get ahead in the real estate game here. Tjey are close to losing it all. A lot not so honest experience, but this one is the real deal. It happened. read more

Peter Ashe and his office helped my husband and I with a move from across the country to New York City with ease. He is extremely knowledgeable, understands his clients, and his continued follow up and service is beyond amazing. We absolutely recommend Peter and can not say enough about his company. read more

Wife and I only had a few week's to find a new place, luckily we were able to meet up with Sam Ibrahim. Great broker who was not just dedicated, but extremely thorough in getting us exactly what we wanted. The best thing in my opinion about working with Sam is that he was completely transparent and honest with us when we started to get stressed. I highly recommend going through Sam when looking for a new place to live. We are happily moving into our new place in Astoria this week! Thanks again Sam, look forward to working with you again in the future! read more

***PLEASE DO NOT WORK WITH THOSE GUYS*** I rented an apt on 5th Ave just two weeks ago with them and it was the WORST Real Estate company. Meirav, the broker, posted on StreetEasy a no fee apt and after she asked us $500 in cash because the owner didn't pay their commission.(Bullshit) She lost our checks and we waited 7 weeks to be approved because she submit the wrong application. It was a nightmare!!! After I met the owner, it wasn't true what they told us.....Nothing was true. Never again. I'll report the whole story to the department of state and they can take care off!!! Gente incompetente! read more

Sandra, Peter and the team were amazing to work with. My wife and I had to move rather quickly and they made the process as seamless as possible. Very happy! read more

Asher was our guy. Was only 90 seconds in to seeing an apartment when he asked my wife to sign a contract. Bullshit. Any broker worth their salt would not expect a stranger to accept a contract from a total stranger and sign it on the spot as a prerequisite to see the apartment. Once we said no, he totally lost interest. Peter, you have a 100% detractor in me. Make no mistake. Brokers, fix your industry. It is broken. read more

This review is for Asher Alcobi from Peter*Ashe Real Estate.My intention was to do it alone for my first apartment search in NYC. Asher contacted me very quickly after I messaged about an apartment on Streeteasy.  After a few questions of what I was looking for he arranged me to meet to conduct a search of the Upper East Side and Midtown East.  My request was broad, so much so that Asher and I walked the streets and saw a lot of apartments in the 2 days I spent with him. He is an extremely hard worker and ensures that his clients are well taken care of. We maximized our viewing time; when some appointments fell through he was immediately on the phone to arrange others to see so we rarely had down time. I truly felt he was working only for me.  He was very honest regarding the neighborhoods and I never felt pressured to take one to seal the deal. I recommend Asher Alcobi and the Peter*Ashe Real Estate team for anyone who is looking for an apartment in NYC. read more

I was fortunate to work with an amazing professional like Meirav Gavrielov from the Peter Ashe Real Estate Agency. The entire process was seamless and she was very patient from the apartment showing to the lease signing. I would seek to work with Meirav again in the future. read more

Had the worst experience with Meirav Gavrielov from Peter Ashe - to the point that we walked away from an apartment that we really liked (Apt 1701 on 188 E 64th Street The Royale), just so that we don't have to interact with her. Solely focused on her commissions and called me to go on a 15 minute rant about commissions, "playing games" and having to split the commissions if I have a different agent representing me. Also did something very unethical and manipulative. Told me that she is very close to the owner and has served him/her for 15 years. So owner will ask for her opinion and she will have an input on which application she should select. It was a very thinly veiled threat that if I am not on her good side, I can go ahead with the application, but she will make sure that it is not accepted and I will lose my application fee. There are many good real estate agents and apartments in New York. Spare yourself the attitude she will give you and walk away from anything to do with Meirav. Somehow the owner of the apartment trusts her - and she is misusing that. I hope the owner of Apt 1701 at The Royale 188 E. 64th Street sees this. read more

I had an excellent experience with Peter Ashe real estate services! Specifically, I dealt with Ami Hen, a consummate professional and all around good person. Mr. Hen accepted me as a client despite me having a rather unorthodox and challenging situation. He worked efficiently and professionally to secure my apartment and pulled hard for me to get Management to allow several exceptions. He was reachable well into the late evening hours, answering all phone calls and emails. My lease was finalized within days of viewing the apartment and even after I moved in, Mr. Hen answered my calls and addressed issues that, in all fairness, should have gone to Management. While Mr. Hen clearly understands the business side he also has a great personal touch and related to me on a very real human level. He dealt with me not simply as another client but as a real person with real life uniquely personal circumstances; that was the piece de resistance! An added bonus is the Peter Ashe office, done up in beautifully minimalist post-modern decor, I love loved visiting!! Good job Peter Ashe! Great job Ami Hen!! read more

Mr. Ibrahim has been a pleasure to work with. He heard my concerns and proved himself to be not only reliable and professional but also caring. He addressed needs that I had not even verbally expressed like getting the bathroom spruced up before my arrival at the apartment. It was a wonderful surprise to see that done on top of fixing all the little details I had noticed were out of place. Mr. Ibrahim was not only accessible but also courteous with his response times. Sitting in my new place I feel like a valued customer and have no regrets. You do need to be prepared to have quite a few payments including a moving fee ready upfront but other than that there were no unwelcome surprises. Call Mr. Ibrahim, speak up and be clear about your limitations/ expectations,  and you will be well taken care of. read more

I have leased in the past 4 years 2 different apartments. Both times I have worked with Meirav and Peter Ash Real Estate. It has been the best experience. Highly recommend. read more

We recently moved into a new apartment with the help of Peter Ashe. We worked directly with Sam, a broker at Peter Ashe. Sam was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire application and move-in process. Our move-in procedure faced several challenges due to COVID restrictions, but Sam was continuously working with us, the Landlord, and the building unit to ensure that we were moved in the the home in a timely manner. We trusted Sam to get us into our new home and he delivered. I plan to ask for Sam's help for my future housing needs in NYC and would recommend him to others. read more

A quick review: I give Peter Ashe, especially Sam Ibrahim, my highest recommendation!! Sam was a pleasure to work with, very helpful, patient and moved the buying process along speedily. A seasoned pro, Sam has much knowledge of the sales and rental market, a very helpful combo when searching for a condo to rent out in the future. A detailed review: I met Sam Ibrahim when attending open house for one of his sales listings. It had been a long day: I had been to 10 open houses before this one. By the time I got to Sam's open house, I was disappointed by the listings I had seen, and even more disappointed by the agents, as most of the sales agents at the open houses seemed bored, disinterested and were not helpful in showing the property or answering questions. What a relief it was to walk into the open house and meet Sam! He smiled when he opened the door. He enthusiastically showed me the property. He was honest about the apartment's both good and bad features. After that meeting, I told Sam I wasn't interested in the property, but I asked him to be my buyer's broker. As a first-time buyer, especially in New York, I had many questions through the buying process. Sam was patient and helpful with providing me all the information I needed. A seasoned pro, Sam knew the ins and outs of the market. He was familiar with and friendly with many of the sales agents that we met as we looked at properties, which was also helpful. As we looked at properties, Sam was at each appointment with me. He could quickly spot the positive elements of a listing, and the negative ones. His familiarity with the rental market was helpful in selecting a property that would be easy to rent out in the future. Up until the closing, which Sam came to, Sam was always very responsive, detailed and helpful with answering questions and providing information. read more

Sam Ibrahim helped us buy a new condo. One of the hardest working person I met in the business. He was extremely responsive and very pro-active in communicating with us. As first time buyers, we had a lot of questions / concerns. I'm not sure any other realtor would have had the patience to deal with us on these concerns and walk us through them as methodical and calm as he did. We weren't entirely sure what the process would entail and how much work it would take, but Sam was VERY informative and you could tell right off the bat that he had our best interests in mind. read more

PLEASE READ!!! Please, I'm begging you to not work with these people on any level. BEGGING YOU. The level of attempted manipulation and extortion is outright disgusting. I moved into one of their buildings in the beginning of 2017. My roommate had a lease there at the time since she had already been living there prior to this and we were told by the landlord that we couldn't add anyone on to the lease. This was no problem since I paid my roommate my portion of the rent while she remained the only person on the lease. This is perfectly legal under the New York Law 235-f that allows any tenant to share their apartment with one additional occupant without having to disclose it to the landlord (which we did anyway). Fast forward to end of 2017 when my roommate who was on the lease wanted to move out. I got a new roommate to move in and we had to start our own lease. We were forced to pay Peter Ashe a broker fee of $2100 even though I had already been living there and they did not find the apartment for us or really do anything for us. Fine. This was fine. We signed the lease paid the broker fee and moved on. We resigned our lease in 2018 and 2019 and moved out at the end of 2020. It has now been almost one full year since we have moved out and Meirav contacted me telling her I owe her $5000 for resigning my lease from the years 2015-2020!!!!!! She claims that I signed their broker agreement giving them a commission of the rent every year that I resign in 2015 when I didn't even live there in 2015 and had never ever been in contact with them until I signed my lease in 2017. These people are criminals and they will try and take advantage of you for everything that they can EVEN AFTER YOU MOVED OUT. I paid them 2100 to do nothing and they are coming after me with complete lies 4 YEARS LATER trying to get more money from me. I'd previously written a review about how awful my experience was living in that building and she contacted me and tried to get me to take it down. I fear this might be retaliation. They are desperate right now and if you think its over after you pay their fee, think again. I feel so bad for anyone that falls for this scam. Please do not work with these people. read more

My husband and I worked with Sam Ibrahim to find our new apartment in Astoria. Sam is a consummate professional, and is a phenomenal communicator. He responds at the drop of a hat. For those of us that know how difficult and stressful moving can be, having someone like Sam on your side to walk you through the process gives you peace of mind that everything will work out just fine. He was clear and concise in his instructions with what the management company, and the landlord needed from us, and helped expedite the process since we were in a time crunch. If you or anyone you know needs a good broker, please contact Sam. You won't be disappointed! read more

Sam helped my roommate and I find an apartment and it was an absolute pleasure. He was communicative and worked with us to get the place that we wanted. He was kind and funny and just a stand up guy. There's not much more than can be said- it was just the ideal real estate renting experience. I would absolutely recommend going with Peter Ashe- specifically Sam! read more

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Sam Ibrahim. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. He is very hands-on and he really helped to take the pressure off of us. He had a great knowledge of the surrounding area and knew exactly what we were looking for. He was very responsive to our needs and was always available when we needed him. Anyone looking to purchase a home would be lucky to work with Sam. read more

Asher and Sandra were a pleasure to work with and walked me through each step of the board application. They went above and beyond to work with my time constraints and were extremely responsive when I had questions (which were many as it was my first time getting an apartment in NYC). I highly recommend working with them! read more

Very helpful from beginning to end. Were always at the other end of the phone answering my questions and very responsive to emails. Helped me move in within a very quick time frame! Would recommend using to help find your next home. read more

My fiancé and I were on a tight timeframe and Asher helped us make our move seamless. The whole team was great to work with and helpful in all ways. Would definitely recommend for all NYC needs read more

My experience with this real estate company was horrible. First it started with the scheduling to view the apartment. We set up a time and day. Eyal was supposed to meet me. He never showed up. After I left, I received a call from Leyla and told me she can show me the unit. I walked back in the rain. Immediately after meeting her, I told her I had 2 dogs. Even showed her pictures of them. I liked the unit, so I decided to apply. I specifically told her I needed to sign the lease for said date because my current lease was ending. In order to submit the application, you have to pay the deposit + $20. Ridiculous. Application took 5 business days for the approval. By then I had a couple of days left in my apt left. Leyla and I set up a date and time to sign the lease. She gives me the name to make the 1st months rent. I go rushed to the bank to make the check. Then she calls me and says that if I sign on that date, I cannot move in. So I had to cancel the movers. She then confirmed I can move in the day after. So I schedule the movers for then. Next day comes and she calls and says oh no you cant move in either because you need to reserve the elevator, it has a $750 deposit, and the super is in the hospital so nothing can be arranged. Are you kidding me????? Why tell me all this minutes before I was suppose to sign??? I had to beg my current landlord to extend my lease. She also cancelled signing the lease because "it wasn't ready". Moved it for the next day. Next day comes and she sends me the documents the guarantor needs to sign and tells me he needs to notarize them. Where the guarantor lives, notaries are lawyers. So it is not as easy to notarize as it is here in NY. And it's expensive. I get my guarantor to sign an notarize the document rushed. Sent it to her. Then she calls and says she forgot another document he needed to sign and notarize..... Before sending it to the guarantor, I read it and says I have to pay a pet fee of $500 per dog. I called her and asked what was going on because she said there was no pet fee. She then goes and says she sent the wrong document and they need to fix it. But, it cannot be "fixed" without the landlord. Landlord was MIA. She then calls and says "oh, the landlord oversaw there were 2 dogs instead of 1 so we have to withdraw your approval". MOST UNPROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE COMPANY EVER. It took me almost a month to find another place and had to pay thousands of dollars in dog boarding and storage facility while I move in to my new place. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. read more

Terrible experience with Meirav Gavrielov! I was very excited about renting a condo on 5th avenue on the 26th floor. After scheduling a showing, she didn't show up and was very rude about it! I was waiting there with my 4 month old and she said she could send her husband literally 4 hours later! The first time I gave her an offer, she refused to bring it to the owner even though the condo had been vacant for 4 months! Several weeks later it was still on the market and I called her up with the same offer and she said she would talk to the owner. But then didn't show up to the meeting when I was going to give her the deposit and application! Aside from this she was also just rude and unprofessional in almost every interaction. We ended up walking away from the place even though I loved it! It's no wonder the place has been listed on streeteasy for over 5 months now!! read more

Julissa helped me a looooooot on finding this great apt with doorman, super, and in-building laundry in a nice neighborhood. She's a very responsible and kind agent. If you are looking for someone who's patience and easy-going, she's the one. : ) read more
