If I could give zero stars I would. I had scheduled a viewing of an apartment with Jason Coooer…read more The day of the viewing he asked if he could push it 30 minutes back, which I agreed to. Once I got there and was looking at the apartment he tried to speed me through looking at the place. After HE pushed the meeting back! Although Jason was horrible, I really liked the apartment (there was no broker's fee) and proceeded in putting a deposit down to hold it for me. Him and the landlord requested a 2 months deposit down. I have now been informed this is ILLEGAL in NYC. However, I was from out of state and these things always vary. In hindsight, I would've been more cautious. I signed for the apartment March 13 and lost all of my jobs March 16 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since it was no longer a feasible option, I asked the landlord if I could get out of the lease, seeing as it had only been three days and given the circumstances, I thought he could be reasonable. The landlord gave me 2/3 of what I had put down upon signing, but said that Jason would not give him back the other 1/3, which he used to pay the broker's fee. This is also ILLEGAL. I would strongly advise not making any sort of real estate deal with Jason Cooper or anyone affiliated with him. Not to mention the few comments he made about my looks during the viewings. He is truly sleazy.

An extremely bad and possible illegal experience with agents from East Coast Realtors…read more First, there's something fishy when all the reviews on Yelp are either 1 star or 5 stars. Through my real estate agent, my family found a great apartment. However, the listing agents from East Coast Realtors (Arthur Hong and Jenny Hong) were the worst realtors I've dealt with. We ended up signing a lease, but the initial lease had many sections that were illegal in terms of tenant rights so needed to be pointed out by us and changed. We agreed that we would meet the listing agents at the apartment to exchange the remainder of the deposit, fully executed lease, and apartment keys. So my wife, sister, and cleaning person met with Arthur and Jenny at the apartment and noticed that the AC filters were not replaced as my agent had told me the previous day. We asked them why it wasn't replaced. On closer inspection, it was a screen that just needed to be cleaned so all good. However, on hearing our initial complaint about the filter, Arthur became agitated and furious, started pointing and screaming at us about how the filter just needed to be cleaned. I tried to explain to him that I agreed with him and it was just a misunderstanding, but he just didn't listen to any word I said. He finally took the filters and stormed off to the bathroom. Jenny had to chase Arthur out of the apartment and then gave us the signed lease and apartment keys and tried to apologize for Arthur as having a temper control issue. Arthur then came back, still furious and yelling (enough to alert the neighbors to come out) about how he didn't need tenants like us (as if he was the landlord), forcibly pried the lease from my wife's hands, said he's canceling our lease, and ran back outside so I ran after him to get the lease back, by which time he ripped the lease into a few pieces and challenged me to a fight for wanting the lease back. I felt like I was in some sort of bizarre movie. We finally had to call the landlord ourselves to explain the situation where the landlord had to deal with us herself regards to the move in to give us our lease and get our remaining deposit. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and REALTORS association already but I can't believe East Coast Realtors allows people like Arthur to work for them. Avoid Arthur Hong at all costs if you can. If you can't, good luck.

We had interviewed 4 agents but Tim stood out to us; he was smart and had a good understanding of the co-op market at the time. He explained that it was sluggish but, gave us a realistic price point with which to start. He had an excellent photographer who took phenomenal pictures of our apartment and made it look like a palace! Within a short time, our co-op sold for a good price, without having to hold any annoying and inconvenient "Open Houses". We were grateful for this, especially during Covid. Anyway, 2 months later we were in contract and Tim helped us through all the details. He answered all our questions in detail and responded quickly to our concerns, making sure that our needs were met. Additionally, Tim has wonderful co-workers who were highly responsive and knowledgeable as well. His assistant, Jeanette, was always there to answer questions and help out. She gave us lots of personal attention and accompanied prospective buyers who were brought in by other agents. Overall, the Tim Ho group is by far, the best real estate professionals we have ever dealt with. From beginning to end Tim and his colleagues were attentive, respectful, and did the best job of getting our co-op sold quickly at a good price! I would recommend them to anyone!
