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!

For context, I HATE brokers, especially New York brokers, they are always unorganized, anxious, and often don't listen to anything I say. Angelica was the exact OPPOSITE of a typical NYC broker - she is organized, calm, listens, and is very quick in helping you to get the apartment you want. I highly recommend hitting her up if you are looking for an apartment in Brooklyn - truly the best. Hope to stay in my current apartment for a decade and then reach back out to Angelica in 2035 for a new one.

I had a very negative experience with Josh Palace, as have others here. Early this month, I…read morescheduled a tour for a suspiciously cheap studio apartment near Prospect Park. Josh confirmed the tour time and asked that I text him when I was on my way. The day came, I texted Josh, and drove an hour from Long Island to the apartment. When I arrived at the scheduled time, Josh texted and asked if we could reschedule. I was shocked and tried to call him. He ignored multiple calls before eventually picking up. He was incredibly non-apologetic over the phone. Eventually, he told me that he wasn't sure if he had locked the apartment door from a tour days ago (??) and that we could try the handle. We were thus able to enter the apartment -- his lack of regard for safety was obvious. On top of all this, he asked for a significant broker's fee should we rent. Despite failing to even show us the apartment! Once I returned home, I looked up the property and saw it had an extensive list of health and safety violations -- more than any apartment I've ever seen. The apartment was also on the market for an entire week, despite being a cheap option in a good location. It is my belief that Mr. Palace, who charges a fee for every application (which is completely illegal, by the way), attempts to squeeze out as many fees from as many people as possible before accepting a deal. Long story short, I will be avoiding Brick and Galo and so should you. Their too-good-to-be-true listings are just that. Josh Palace is not to be trusted.

The result was perfection : he instantly bonded with her and gained her confidence.

His recommendations were totally on target. He also assisted in expediting the rigorous leasing process.

Even if you have good credit score and money, it's still not easy to find a good place and have a reasonable realtor who can help you, there are so many details you need to know. I decided to give a try this company. First i got the call from Sam, he asked me what apartments i'm looking for and he sent me list with 5 places. They all were actually very good, I picked the one that was closest to my work and I scheduled showing. I met with Marvin and he was incredibly professional, honest and upfront. He answered to all my questions and showed me apartment, literally everything was clear and transparent for me. There was no weird feeling like with other agents I met recently and he was responding very fast to my messages. I applied in the evening and the next day in the morning i got the answer that I approved. It was very quick, specially when I didn't have much time left to find a new place, they just literally saved me! I wish I worked with them before in the beginning of the month, so I could save myself a lot of time and avoid so many problems with searching new places. Everything just went so smooth. Definitely recommend to everyone, you can rely on these guys. Everything went on high level of service and painless for me. Marvin and Sam, thank you again!

HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND…read more At first, Omar was very friendly and helpful. However, after we submitted our application, he disappeared for weeks, ignoring multiple calls and messages. He finally confirmed our approval, but pushed us to pay an upfront broker fee to receive a discounted monthly rent, instead of just letting us pay the full advertised rent (which was listed with no broker fee). Because he was being incredibly pushy about the upfront fee, we felt uncomfortable and proposed a compromise: paying half the fee before moving in and the other half after moving. He refused. When we reiterated we would just pay the full advertised rent with no broker fee, he stopped responding completely. The communication was terrible and the experience was very frustrating. Avoid this broker.

I woked with Michael Zats to sell my apartment in Brooklyn Heights. He was, in all respects, the…read morebest broker I have ever worked with. The apartment was listed for sale in November, 2024. Several other brokers said it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to sell then and suggested I wait until Spring. Zats had a photographer taking pictures the day after I signed the selling agreement and held an open house about 7 days later. He held two other open houses and I had multiple bids in 18 days. I especially appreciated that he called me on almost every one of those 18 days to update me on what had happened that day with my apartment. Zats had a strategy for selling the apartment, he executed that strategy and effctively communicated what he was doing to me. And key to this very successful sale is that he worked extremely hard.

It takes a matter of seconds to email me back to let me know, but instead I have to hunt you down, and somehow you think that you deserve a FIFTEEN PERCENT BROKER FEE FOR THE ANNUAL RENT???
