Cynthia Crowley is a fantastic real estate agent who helped me find exactly what I was looking for…read more I was originally referred to Cynthia from someone I know and I could not have been happier. She listens to what is important to you, knows the Manhattan real estate market like the back of her hand, is incredibly reliable and responsive (gets back to you immediately), and is an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking to purchase a NYC apartment, I highly recommend Cynthia to be your agent.

I saw an apt on Saturday, signed the lease on Thursday, and I could move in immediately. Our agent,…read moreJinyen, was very communicative the entire time, and extremely personable. I would rate her 5 stars for her extreme perseverance with me, as she called me and calmed me down several times during my stressful first-time move to NYC . The only problem, and the reason for 4.5 rather than 5 stars, was a slight miscommunication about the move in date, as the apt owner was incommunicado for several days in observance of a Jewish holiday. However, I cannot entirely blame Renegade for that, as I had no idea it was a Jewish holiday either. Full disclosure, I was encouraged to submit this yelp review in exchange for a partial rebate on my application fee, but the views I have expressed are my own, and are not influenced by any potential compensation. God Bless America.

I found nick and Brendan through someone who has used them and said they were by far the best to go to in NYC. This was the best recommendation I have had by far. They were MORE than helpful and only show apartments they know are worth their clients time. They are super low pressure (unlike everyone else) and they do all the hard stuff, takes away the headache. PLEASE do not go on street easy and waste your time. Go through them, they are the only people who are not trying to scam you and are genuine people who get the grind of New York. I would give 100000 stars if I could!!!!

I've heard so many horror stories about poor landlord management and this team did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable as a tenant. Some perks included: a super, who would come in for any repairs as requested within a few days, on site trash management, monthly pest control, and incredibly clean and well managed units. I had to move to a different city for work, otherwise I would have loved to stay here longer!

My wife and I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ian recently…read more During our NYC real estate journey (4+ years), we met many "characters" -- most of whom demonstrate why the NYC real estate industry has earned such a poor reputation. Ian was the complete opposite. He is smart, talented, hardworking, trustworthy, high-integrity, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly effective at his job. Our new tenants also raved about Ian's proactive, trustworthy, and candid nature. If you're looking to sell your property, buy a new property, or rent property, I couldn't recommend Ian highly enough. He is meticulous in his role and builds/values relationships with his clients. We would never think of working with anyone other than Ian in our future NYC real estate endeavors. If we could rate Ian more than 5 stars we would.

We had the pleasure of working with Ian during our Manhattan home search in fall 2024 and were…read morethoroughly impressed by him throughout the entire process! Ian truly goes above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. As first time home buyers coming from out of state, we had A LOT of questions, not very concrete ideas for what we wanted / where we wanted to be, and quite inflexible schedules. Ian was so patient with us from the very beginning and provided extremely comprehensive answers to our questions as well as great advice to guide us in our search. You can tell that he is very experienced and incredibly knowledgeable about the NYC housing market. During the couple times we were able to visit NYC, Ian was able to accommodate our schedules and spent days taking us all over Manhattan to explore different condo options and different neighborhoods to help us get a better idea of what we're looking for and where we want to focus our search. When we were not in NYC (before and after our visits), Ian stayed in touch with us constantly via phone and email. He really took the time to understand our needs/criteria, answer every single question, recommend listings, prepare us for in-person visits and next steps, and even visited condos on our behalf to take pictures for us. Ian is experienced, responsive, trustworthy, easy to work with, and altogether outstanding. We would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to buy in NYC.

Absolutely terrible experience. This agency scheduled a showing for an apartment, and when I…read morearrived, I discovered that someone was already living there. Not only was the listing apparently unavailable, but nobody bothered to notify me before I wasted my time traveling to the appointment. To make matters worse, no one answers the phone and no one responds to emails. There is zero communication and a complete lack of professionalism. If you're looking for a rental, I would strongly recommend avoiding this agency. Their poor communication, disorganization, and disregard for prospective tenants' time made this one of the worst rental experiences I've had.

He also offered to pick us up and help drive us around to different units. This is not to mention all the phone calls and exchanged emails to find us the perfect set of apartments we could view in such a short period of time. The personal touches that Ian put into working with us and is the reason that I'd recommend anyone to him if you're looking for a new home.

However they were very patient and understanding to my needs. I spent some days touring the Bronx with them until I found exactly what I was looking for, they never made me feel rushed or obliged to rent something. Recently I referred a friend to CPG who was looking to move out of the city because of noise pollution. One of the guys at the office, Rafael took her to L.I.C where she fell in love with the place. She had some kinks at first, but once the deal was finalized she was beyond pleased. If your looking for a professional realtor, I would highly recommend coming here first!

I ended up with a pretty good deal. One thing to highlight is that JR even recommended that I take a rental instead of a condo which I was considering and where he'd make a larger broker's fee. That really speaks to the long-term relationship JR and Bona Tierra try to foster with their clients. I highly recommend anyone moving to Manhattan to reach out and work with JR! I had a wonderful experience!
