Avoid hiring Barbara Shamouil from Elegran. Avoid her for the following reasons:…read more Irresponsible: Barbara neglects essential property inspections after tenants move out and skips final walk-throughs with new tenants. She has even been recorded saying, "there's nothing to walk through," when new tenants requested a final inspection, simply dropping off keys without showing the apartment. Unethical: She intentionally creates conflicts between owners and tenants to avoid lease extensions, boosting lease turnover and increasing her earnings by attracting new tenants. Short-tempered: Barbara frequently refuses to fulfill her responsibilities. When confronted about her unprofessional behavior, she responds with harsh language and aggression, which is unacceptable. Unprofessional: Her impatience with accountability, combined with forgetfulness, inconsistency, and language barriers (English is clearly not her first language), further undermines her professionalism. Dishonest: Despite her seemingly friendly demeanor, Barbara has a history of negative reviews from clients and even from her own team at Elegran. With so many real estate agents in NYC, avoid hiring Barbara to represent you and your property. She doesn't have your best interests at heart and will likely have a detrimental impact on your property transactions.

Erin Konchanin was a saving grace in the hell that is apartment searching in NYC. I never…read moreconsidered working with a broker before, but Erin was able to find amazing listings that covered her fee, which meant that I paid nothing more, but got her amazing assistance with finding my dream apartment. I had a very specific criteria that I was looking for with a low budget, but she still found me a variety of spaces to view. She also had fantastic knowledge of the areas, and was able to provide me with recommendations on where to live. She negotiated rents and security deposits on my behalf, and made sure that I felt safe visiting properties. Erin was completely transparent with me throughout the process, and really made me feel like I could trust her to put my interests first. She was incredibly responsive through text at all hours, and was able to get viewings scheduled quickly and efficiently. Would 100% recommend working with Erin for your next apartment search, and will definitely be coming back to her for mine!

We are so, so fortunate that a friend-of-a-friend recommended working with Jessica and the Bateman Fields Team! From our very first phone call with Jessica, when she walked us through each step in the process, to the final walk through, when she negotiated a last-minute closing credit for a malfunctioning toilet, we knew we were in good hands. Jessica brought years of market experience and relationships with other brokers, a deep knowledge of the neighborhoods where we were interested in buying, a creative eye about how to turn an empty apartment into a home, and the tenacity to get the deal done when we found the perfect place. Most of all, we knew we could trust Jessica and her team to help us make one of the biggest decisions of our lives.

That really speaks to the long-term relationship JR and Bona Tierra try to foster with their clients. I highly recommend anyone moving to Manhattan to reach out and work with JR! I had a wonderful experience!

We highly recommend Peter Cossio of HRG if you're considering selling your house in Hoboken. The…read moreprocess of putting your home on the market is always stressful, but with Peter we felt confident about the plan, the marketing and the successful sale. Our 150 yr old row house, previously converted to a 4 family, with driveway, garage and rear carriage house required a strategic analysis and creative marketing plan. Peter's deep understanding of Hoboken real estate and big picture market trends were invaluable in bringing the property to market and then contract within weeks. Peter was professional, straight forward and transparent about his process as he guided and advised us on every detail along the way. He counseled us on how to prep the property and was a great resource in helping us find just the right people to work with. Peter's passion for architecture and knowledge of historic homes is infectious and a great asset in showing and selling buildings of historic importance, of which there are many in Hoboken. We highly recommend him. Ada + Jon

Four years later updating as my neighbor and I have been forced out of our apartments by the DOB due to a slew of violations on the property- the most important ones being the illegal construction of backyard doors and conversion of a storage cellar into dwelling spaces- our bedrooms. Nice clause on the bottom of the broker agreement releasing these folks of any liability after happily telling me I could easily fit a queen sized bed in a death trap. These "expert advisors" are in cahoots with some of the filthiest slumlords in BK. Always check the DOB website for violations certificates of occupancy and landlord watchlists before proceeding.

Note: Today, 4/08/14, I received three voice messages from Melissa with management's contact…read morenumber. Thank you, Mr. Hill for following up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At first BAB seemed like a professional, prompt establishment. However, the agent I worked with, Melissa, basically lied about many details of the apartment I ended up renting and was only out to make her part of the commission. The apartment was being "renovated" when I saw it. Melissa said the landlord would replace everything, put screens in the window and that the apartment came with a ceiling fan in the kitchen. Melissa stated that the landlord is great and the "super" does excellent work. She was very persistent when it came to collecting the deposits and fees, but her dedication fell off shortly afterwards. I requested to see the apartment again before the move in date to ensure all repairs had been made. BAB was unable to make that happen and began diverting my questions to the agent representing the landlord. On my move-in date, the "super" was still repairing the bathroom, there were no refrigerator or stove, the ceiling fan had been replaced with a used light fixture, the windows did not have any screens, and a filthy stove hood was in the kitchen. (The appliances were delivered after 6 PM that evening. Therefore, I didn't have any heat because National Grid could not turn on the gas without a stove.) Over the last month, I have made several requests to have BAB do something about all these issues, but nothing has been done. When I began my complaint to Melissa, she tried to say that she didn't say everything would be "new" or "replaced". She basically just stopped responding to me. At that time, Ernest became the contact person, and he assured that everything would be taken care of. He claimed to have contacted the landlord's agent and more useless promises were made. I was told that the super would replace the hood and install the screens "when the weather got warmer". I recently followed up with the super and he told me that he doesn't install screens. Communication has been horrible. They haven't even been able to supply a contact number for management...just the address to mail monthly rent checks. This has been a disappointing experience. My next step will be contacting a lawyer to see what my rights are concerning this mishap. I have a huge paper trail to document everything. It's great to see how wonderful BAB has been for everyone else...wish it could have been for me as well.

Sooooo you…read morecan already tell I have good things to say. 5 stars doesn't seem to be enough for how helpful Alison was in finding me my next home. She took everything I was hoping to find in a new apartment and showed me all of my options. I was in a bit of a time crunch with just over a month to find a place before my current lease was up, I have a dog and have a pretty tough budget I was hoping to not exceed. All of that, in addition to me being extremely picky (as you should be with a decision as big as where you'll be living!!) led to a stressful search before beginning to work with her. She sent me numerous listings daily, didn't push me when I decided to pass on seeing some, drove me to and from most showings and, in the end, found me a fantastic place. I went from scouring Zillow nearly all day, every day, to finally being able to relax and feel assured Alison would see and send me everything that was available. Working with her was incredibly easy and I felt like I was going through the process with a friend the entire time. She is professional, kind and extremely patient. She was always easy to get in touch with either by phone or a text and answered every question I had. I couldn't recommend working with her more!
