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 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!

Amazing level of service, Zealestate is a true professionals!…read more I was in situation when my moving date was in 6 days and i still haven't find my new place. 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!

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.

We were setting up an apartment viewing and then he randomly just stopped answering the day it was supposed to be. I emailed, called, and texted him with no response. Finally called again a few hours before the showing and he tells me they have someone else signing the lease. 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??? Actually unreal. What an embarrassment to the Brooklyn Heights Real Estate name. Not interested in any other listings they may have had for me instead now.
