Lovell was awesome helping me secure a room in a beautiful home. He was communicative and made the process very smooth. Even organized a friendly meet with the landlords and future roommate. Best broker experience I've had after 10+ years living in NYC. Even the landlords must feel secure knowing he's made sure the tenants are respectful/responsible. Definitely recommend read more

At 1030 this morning I viewed a property on 1048 Clayton ave. Which was supposed to be a 3 bedroom on the third floor. Instead I had to wait for the person showing me to pick the lock with a knife. The building was in shambles light fixtures falling. Piles of garbage on all sides. Then I met at another property at 4pm which I arrived early at 330pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I made them aware I had class at 5pm and they purposely doubled booked to save money and time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I left because one thing is for sure when a agency shows you their true colors believe it and run the other way. read more

Words cannot express how wonderful Lovell and his team are! Lovell helped me find the perfect space! When he showed me a listing he made sure to ask questions about what it was I wanted out of the space. He also explained every step of the process with me. Lovell is friendly, knowledgeable, and he makes sure that prospective tenants are happy. I am so lucky to have found him. The other brokers I spoke with were all looking for a quick dollar. None of them truly cared about what I wanted and they never followed up with me. Lovell listened to what I wanted in a space and he made sure that I would be happy with my choice. Go with Lovell and his team. They won't steer you wrong! read more

Reliable and very professional great customer service thank you so much for your time !

I was looking for an art studio and Lovell was the broker for the landlord. The space I wanted fell through and I was so disappointed. He went above and beyond to help me see spaces in other buildings in the neighborhood and worked to get me a decent deal. He really understood what I was looking for and I ended up in a great space! He was super friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with. read more

Lovell and Acadia were such a lovely team to work with. Was early on my apartment hunt, but they had a gem lined up. Never pushy or rude - only sweet and patient. Super communicative and quick to answer all of my questions. They always found a way to add a personal touch in conversations as well. read more

Lovell and his team are fantastic, they were organized on time he showed me fantastic apartments with keeping in my budget. We start working together on one apartment but once he knew what I was looking he was able to find 2 more for same day viewing. Communication was simple, phone call and a text, nice simple straight forward and fast. Great Team! Conor read more

if your looking to start your business your in the right hands great people great service very satisfied

Looking for the perfect place is the toughest thing to do nowadays, especially in NYC! but Lovell made my life so much easier, he was there for me and my partner and he put so much effort in finding the perfect place for us! it was absolutely amazing...after finding an absolutely gorgeous apartment, he was always on top of every paperwork and he was there through every single step on my little "adventure"! He spent his night working in the office just for us! You are lucky if you get to work with him! Unfortunetly for personal reasons I did not go ahead with the leasing, but I recommend him for everyone who's looking for the right place! He will do magic to find your next place what you can call HOME! I wish the best for everyone! And thank you Lovell! Thank you for everything!!! read more

I've had a good experience with Rapid Realty. Last year Rayford took the time to show me at least a dozen apartments until we found the one that was right for me. I ended up scoring a beautifully renovated apartment in my (low) price range in a quiet building. Recently my father was looking for an apartment because we're selling our family's home and I set him up with Rayford. My father hasn't lived in an apartment in decades and the market in NY has become so cut-throat and competitive. Rayford was very patient and polite with my father; after a couple weeks of apartment hunting, found him the apartment he was looking for in a peaceful neighborhood of Brooklyn. My father had some issues with his credit and almost wasn't approved, but Rayford was able to offer a suggestion that enabled my father to get through the approval process and sign a lease. The people here are actually nice and seem passionate about finding you a place you'll be happy with. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and will recommend them to my friends and family. read more

Lovell and Lissette rock. They made the process painless and were super responsive to any request that I had. They're also very down to earth. You'll notice Lovell loves batman because the office is filled with dark knight posters. And he'll talk to you about it Overall, would recommend. read more

Had a great experience with Rapid. Gregory was professional, attentive, and patient. He was available via email or text anytime. I truly appreciated the transparency throughout the whole process. Lovell also possessed those qualities. He didn't charge any extra fees. He worked within my budget. He communicated quickly with the landlord and everything went well. The process was seamless from beginning to end. I was able to lock down a pet-friendly apartment in less than 5 days (during the peak rental season!!). It's clear both Lovell and Gregory have a passion for helping others. I hope to work with them again in the future. read more

My roommate and I had a great experience with Nadia from rapid realty. Super professional, communicative and determined to find us something that checks off everything from our wishlist. Thanks nadia! read more

I worked with Marisol and Lovell and they found us a great apartment! They were patient and accommodating and really helped work with our finances and the area we wanted! Highly recommend them! read more

The absolute worst! Avoid at all costs. We were not approved for the apartment for a bogus reason (using an out-of-state guarantor, since we are grad students), a concern we had stated from the very beginning. The team reassured us that it would not be an obstacle. (We do have other close relatives who would have gladly served as our guarantor if they, in fact, did have to reside in NYC, but Rapid Realty never gave us the option to pursue this route.) The apartment we had put a deposit on was rented to someone else who could move in sooner (7/15, when we asked for an 8/1 start date), since the apartment has remained off the market and even listed with a "rented" date on StreetEasy (7/7) before notifying us of our rejection (7/10). Our guarantor's non-refundable, application fee was submitted on 7/8 while in clear communication with the broker's office. So, we lost 2 credit check fees, which would have been fine if our application was fully reviewed before the apartment of interest was indeed rented to someone else. My deposit was refunded on 7/11 with no formal paperwork or receipt or even a response for that matter. They called my boyfriend and did not contact me to notify us of our rejection, while I was the one who gave the deposit. Does that make sense? I immediately followed-up with only a few, vague answers. Our broker is still in training. My biggest problem with the team that worked with us is the blatant sexism I experienced as a woman in dealing with them. They were much kinder and friendlier to my boyfriend. Also, they would not reply to any of my emails, only theirs (my boyfriend and his father, our guarantor), when the deposit was made in my name and with my funds. Maybe you'll have a better experience if you're a guy? I still have not received a receipt or an answer/response at this time. (I'm writing on 7/16.) My deposit was returned promptly, the next day, less the applicable taxes/fees, but with literally no record of the transaction at all. They never called or emailed me, so I would not have known. It was very unprofessional for a group we'd been in contact with for over a week. Take our unfortunate experience as a lesson, and avoid these folks if you can. We lost over a week of search time in this mess. All we really wanted was some thorough communication and follow-up if our application was, in fact, denied. They did not even offer to show us other apartments, or a formal letter of our denial, even after paying for 2 application fees. We lost over $110, with no real answers or solutions. read more

Marcia and Lovell were so helpful and accommodating throughout the apartment hunting process. They really took the time understand our wants and needs to find our next place that wouldn't just be an apartment but our next home. They were also super efficient in finding great locations and spaces and always stayed available throughout the process. Great company with great energy! Thank you Rapid Realty! read more

Gregory was very helpful in getting me to see rentals that wonderfully matched my criteria, and in presenting the neighborhood in its best light. He was extremely helpful and uniquely patient, and I would recommend him and Lovell to anybody, anytime. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Rapid Realty. We've have had a lot of problems finding a place in Brooklyn, and Rapid is by far the easiest and nicest real estate agency we have ever dealt with. We saw our gorgeous apartment in Kensington and were approved in a short time, considering​ our special case and limited time to find a place. They didn't charge any unnecessary fees. All they required was a credit check, a deposit and to fill out the standard paperwork. They really went out of their way to make us comfortable and happy in our desperate search for the perfect place. Benny and Ramsey were professional, courteous, and attentive. We've been working primarily with Benny and he's been wonderful and responsive to our questions and special requests. The apartments they showed us were clean and nice with upgrades like granite counter tops and dishwashers. Any time we had an issue it was fixed in a timely fashion. Everything worked out, and we can't wait to officially move in. If you're looking for a great affordable apartment in Brooklyn, Rapid Realty is the best place to go and i'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Someone from Rapid Realty kept calling and harassing us to sell our property despite my husband telling him that we had no interest in selling. It was obvious from the first call when he asked for "the homeowner" that they are just another set of vultures cold-calling people from the tax rolls in an attempt to get in on the gentrification of our area. I finally answered and was not allowed to say much more than "stop calling" when he just kept shouting about how he wants to buy the house and refused to listen to anything I said. I hung up on him. When we finally sell our building, we will look for a realtor who actually listens to people, not one who is so wrapped up in their profit that they ignore anyone else's requests. read more

Seth & Lovell have made our apartment hunt a dream! After almost 7 years in a relationship with my boyfriend Vinny, we were ready to move into our first apartment together. I expected a long and tedious process, but Seth showed Vinny the apartment of his dreams within a day of us seeing it online. After he fell head over heels in love with it, he called me to cancel my evening plans and rush directly after work to take a look at it as it was something Vinny didn't want to miss! We saw the apartment and made the decision around 10:30 that evening we were going to take it. Seth & Lovell were available immediately, approachable, and so helpful during the entire application process- deep into the night and early the next day until we got our documents together. We were approved within a day, and the very next day we were signing. It was surreal! This team is personable and professional- such a great combination! They're just very easy to be around, very funny guys, and genuinely enjoy their jobs. We got so lucky with our experience - thank you thank you! Can't wait to move in :) read more

Creative Real Estate Pros - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I first contacted Lovell on a listing listed on one of the many NYC rental sites. He was immediately able to read the vibe of our situation and was able to find another place for us that fit what we needed and our budget. During the application process he was very responsive to all of our questions and kept us informed about the requirements as well. Lastly, his broker fee is very reasonable and I would recommend working with him for your next apartment hunt! read more

If anyone is looking for a realty office to help find an apartment or rent out an existing apartment, I highly recommend using these guys. I had to break an existing lease and I contacted this office to help me find a new tenant to take over my lease. Marisol was the agent who helped me show the apartment and she was very kind and helpful. Through out the whole process, she was very timely and I never had to chase after her. Lovell was the broker and he was very chill and understanding of my situation. Seriously, these guys are awesome. They are actually very nice people, which is not very common to witness when dealing with landlords/brokers in NYC. read more

My very first apartment! All to my liking, my style, and most importantly to my needs. The 1st place Martine showed me I fell in love! She was very patient and allowed me to soak in what I automatically knew was for me. Newly renovated, landlord is a star and not to mention fitting within my budget yet meeting my standards. Lovell and Martine promised me it would be mine and was very informative direct and communicated at all times keeping me in the loop. I'm ecstatic because my very first apartment they made it happen! Much success to the team and I highly recommend them as they are highly professional! Thank you Martine! read more

The professionals here are amazing. It is so rare in this day and age that someone gives you their word and means it. That's the experience we had with Richard and Lovell at Rapid Realty. They worked with us on their commission and lowered it tremendously. They took the lead in dealing with the landlord and working with a client with not so great credit. They did everything right and would get back to you with any questions in seconds. Richard walked us around half of South Brooklyn showing us a number of great places and ultimately our new home. What a wonderful group of people. read more

Lovell found us a great place and had the vision that we needed to make it the perfect place. He was so chill and patient with us during the application process, and available nearly 24/7. Everything was super professional and clear, and we met the landlord during the showing which was surprising but really great. We're so excited to move into our new place, thank you Lovell! read more

Not sure if Lovell knows what he is doing as he often relied on his partner , Lizzette for everything. Drove the guy around half the day and saw some pretty inappropriate places even though it was clear I needed a place for a family of 4 as my kids were with me. I would not recommend Lovell, but Lizzette to help you get a new home. read more

I had a great experience working with Robin Smith and John Young. I knew that my stipulations for a studio--$1100 max, Brooklyn only, no more than a five minute walk from a train station--would limit my options, but these two delivered. Robin found me a good deal in a lovely prewar building on the first try and John was speedy with the paperwork. read more

I give Rapid three stars for the service, which I found to be professional and courteous, with the deduction being for my less than pleasant rental experience. I found an apartment through them and put down a deposit, only to find out the next day via text message that the unit was actually rented out to someone else. They refunded my deposit, minus the $50 credit check fee. I didn't like losing that $50 but admittedly it was clear that it was nonrefundable. My agent, Danielle, was courteous and tried to find me another unit in the same building and, later, in another area. I understand that things happen and that nothing is guaranteed until a lease is signed and keys are in hand. I also understand the policy of the nonrefundable credit check. However with seemingly thousands of apartment brokers in this city willing to take my fee, shouldn't everything go 100% smoothly? read more

Moving is tough, stressful and NOT fun, especially when trying to find a place FAST. By chance, a friend of mine referred me to Lovell Ramsay. Lovell was not only professional and knowledgable, but also strived above and beyond to help me find a place within my budget and other needs. His team is also incredible, friendly and understanding. Excellent team, excellent services, I most definitely recommend Lovell, his team and their outstanding services! read more

My husband and I had a great experience with Lovell at Rapid Realty. He went out of his way to help us find a beautiful new apartment. He even took the time to drive us around and show us the neighborhood. It was a pleasure working with him and we would highly recommend him. read more

Lovell and his team were super helpful in finding us the best apartment for mine and my bf's needs (at the WORST time - January!). they showed us a few places but truly listened to our needs and didn't waste our time by showing is places we didn't want/couldn't afford. two years later, my bf and I are moving out (in pursuit of a different neighborhood and a bigger space), and I couldn't find my current lease! I emailed Lovell and he responded with all my scanned paperwork THAT DAY! great service and helpful/friendly realtors. read more

Tarik was a wonderful broker. He was very professional and even though we loved the first place he showed us, he showed us a few more just so we were sure! There is a brokers fee but it's well worth it for such a beautiful apartment and peace of mind. We had a great time working with him and the application process was done surprisingly quickly! read more

Lovell was very nice and provided professional service. Although we didn't rent a apartment from him, we still recommend he and his office.

Honestly Lovell was the nicest, chillest, realest broker I've ever met. His fee was fair, and the apartments he showed us were great. My husband and I got stuck because the trains are garbage on the weekend, and we missed our first showing with him. He took a video and at the next apartment, gave us a little video tour of the first unit. Lovell can read your vibe within 5 seconds of meeting you and was a breath of fresh air for us after a day of pushy, aggressive brokers. This guy is seriously good at his job! read more

Andrew was wonderful. I have nothing but good things to say about him and the Rapid Realty Windsor Terrace office. When I was looking for apartments to rent, Andrew took me around to a number of different places in the neighborhood I had asked about, and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and the entire office. read more

My roommates and I had an excellent experience with Lovell Ramsay and Lissette Cano.
