Jenny is the best!…read more The most important thing to me in this type of interaction is communication. Of the FIVE Astoria realtors I called, emailed, and filled out forms for, Jenny is the only one who reached out to me. I know the dead of winter isn't the best time to look for a place but... She showed me a couple places I wasn't wild about but then we walked to the other end of the neighborhood to check out one that wasn't on the market yet due to renovations. We met the building owner that day. I signed a lease soon after, and she was there helping throughout the entire process! Highly recommended!

I'm surprised to see the glowing reviews on here of Jenny. It feels like we're almost talking about…read moretwo different people. I met with Jenny during a recent apartment search, which was in the first week of the month (specifically, we met on the 3rd). I was seeking an apartment for the following month. After showing me one apartment that I didn't love, I felt like she pressured me to like it more -- telling me how perfect the landlords were, how I wouldn't find anything else like it, harping on features that ultimately didn't matter to me. It was incredibly awkward, and I found myself repeating that it's simply a matter of preference. It turned out that this was one of two apartments she had available at the time; the other was in a completely different location than where I had wanted. After this, she told me that I had started my search for an apartment too late, and that most apartments for the following month were already rented by now. As someone that was needing to find an apartment during the busy summer season, this was a stressful thing to hear. I ended up quickly finding an apartment with the next broker I met with. More importantly, though, were the vast number of apartments that became available throughout the week and the month. (Of course it wasn't too late to find a place on the 3rd, how could I have believed this?) While I don't like writing negative reviews of people in the neighborhood, I'm posting this in hopes that anyone with a similar experience will take it with a grain of salt. There are so many apartments in Astoria and in NYC overall. Don't let anyone rush your search. An apartment is a personal and important decision. And most importantly: your options are not constrained, regardless of what you're told.

My boyfriend and I were looking for an apartment to move into together and I reached out to Zach…read moreZachariadis based on previous Yelp reviews. Zach immediately picked up the call when I reached out the first time and even though he was on paternity leave, he still took the time to get a list of all the things we were looking for in an apartment and scheduled a few showings around our busy schedules. There were instances where he couldn't make it and he would even send another agent out to show us some apartments. He was honest, personable, extremely flexible and is sincerely looking out for his clients and their needs. We had a great experience working with him and will be recommending him to anyone who is looking to move to the Astoria area.

Vickie is the shadiest "business woman" I have ever encountered. Despite her being over 30 mins…read morelate to the showing we'd scheduled, I quickly forgot when she showed me an apartment that was exactly what we wanted. We applied for the apartment and were approved within 24 hours. I even gave up a non-refundable deposit on another apartment because this one was worth it. Unfortunately, I was completely fooled by her facade -- she is a bonafide LIAR. A few days later (two days before lease signing) I received a text from Vickie that the tenant and his wife were supposedly getting a divorce and that he wasn't leaving until July (I needed a June 1st start date). She promised an interim move to an apartment across the street, but every time I tried to meet with her to finalize things there was some excuse, and it got to the point where she would only answer texts (sometimes) but never answer calls. She continued to lead me on for three weeks and left me in a very vulnerable situation (pretended she was going to show me another property, only to never respond about an appointment time) and even got to the point where July turned into August for the current tenant's move out date. Days before I needed to move I found another broker who was absolutely awesome and ended up finding us an even better apartment ASAP! To top it off, a few days later I saw that the apartment was posted on streateasy (for a higher price then Vickie told us it was...hmmm) and asked her for the application fee back, and let her know that we were not happy with her dishonesty -- she should have never showed us an apartment that wasn't available. She then tried to accuse me of "vanishing" when I had proof of all of our text conversations (since she wouldn't answer the phone), and even tried an excuse about her phone being broken. I had seen other reviews about Vickie's questionable (to put it nicely) practices, but her reply to them made it seem like they were just unreasonable or disgruntled customers. I should have believed what I read in the first place. I hope Vickie learns that it is not okay to treat people like this. STAY FAR AWAY!

This review is based on our terrible experience with Sharon Frances. She knew that the apartment we…read morewere moving into had been previously infested with bedbugs, however, she told us to our face that it never had a problem. We signed the lease and our first night there I was bitten. I had a severe allergic reaction to the bite and ended up in the ER. We ended up moving out within the week. After all this she tried to get us to sign a liability release form but by then we had learned about the bedbug disclosure act and used it to take them and the management company, Allioni, to court. She and this company are completely dishonest. Our ordeal with her was traumatic and expensive and I advise everyone to avoid this company entirely.

So often, in all businesses one encounters people in customer-facing jobs who really seem to hate people. Maria and John are super friendly, honest, and really seem to enjoy working with people in the community and helping them find the right home.

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!
