He was friendly and really let us ask as many questions and also gave us his personal cell as we made our decision. We selected our first apartment and went through the entire process from our cellphone. Dan was also very responsive and even let us know after hours that we could stop stressing because we had been approved for the apartment of our first choice! We are already discussing how when a two bedroom is available in this apartment we will work with Dan to move into it! We love our building and in part it's due to the relationship we've built with Dan! Thanks Dan

We had a wonderful representative who visited all the time, was diplomatic during disputes and great at dispensing information to all. I'm happy to say our current manager, Larry Glick, is equally responsive, attentive and organized. I have no idea how he manages to keep track of multiple email threads that change topics and decisions/votes, it's a true talent! For those living in a co-op/condo...you KNOW how batty it can get. Life is so much easier when you know someone is out there looking out for the good of the building and it's financials, but also keeping the peace and being fair at all times. If you are considering companies to manage your building I hope you will seriously consider New Bedford. I personally feel lucky our building roped them into managing us - they must never leave us hahah!

For over a year during a roof job, management thinks it's ok to place toxic debris of the old roof right outside our bedroom windows. This is also a serious fire hazard! 13 months later, still dealing with debris. On top of this, we have been without gas for 17 months now. Last update was me June that we failed inspection and just one minor touch is needed and would be corrected in a day. Since then plumbers have still been working on this so called minor issue, sometimes till 9pm. Our hallways on each floor look as though they haven't been cleaned in over a year. Mismatched painting on the walls, cheap plastic sticker floor tiles that are stained and can't be cleaned because it's cheap and not meant for high traffic. Save yourself the horror and find someone else.

Apartment hunting in NYC can be a painful ordeal, so it was refreshing to meet Mandy, our lovely…read morebroker and friend, on a hot summer afternoon. She showed my roommate and I a nice place, and then drove us to the place we fell in love with instantly. Everything was made easy from then on. They were patient with us, sent us everything we had to fill out, explained things clearly and set up our meetings with the landlord. We didn't even have to give them a penny (Mandy found us only no-fee apts.) which is why I feel compelled to write them this review. I hope I never have to move out again (yea right..), but if I do, I hope Rental Solutions is still around, and that Mandy still has my phone number! I'll even go further. I've seen other (hidden) reviews for this company on here saying how unreliable and unprofessional they were. In my experience, if you're nice to others, they'll be nice to you. The people here were a perfect illustration of that mantra. Stay patient, open minded, and be kind. Mandy will be there for you if you are.

It is a family company, carrying all of the positive qualities that that entails: Genuine caring, concern and attention, all with a human touch . They helped my daughter find the perfect apartment for her, and they did it with a personal investment and involvement in her situation that is impossible to find in today's incredibly competitive and, yes, aggressive rental market. They asked detailed and thoughtful questions about her priorities, and truly understood the challenges we had met in our lengthy and frustrating search for her new home. Also, their connection to the community of Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill runs deep. They know the market like no others, handling rental properties for landlords/owners whom they have known for decades - from generation to generation. Mike, Steven and Michael are all wonderful people and they make finding a new home in this neighborhood much less difficult; the results are fantastic. I recommend Carroll Gardens Realty with no reservation - but with great enthusiasm!

All too often we manage to take time to complain about someone or a service provided either…read morepersonally or via various Websites where many readers can be affected before making a decision to use a company or Realtor such as Dallien Realty simply based on possible negative reviews. After working with Carmen Giordano, our comments are quite the opposite of negative and we are pleased to write regarding the unbelievable positive experiences we had while working with her. We had answered an ad that Carmen had posted on Craigslist for an apartment located in Forest Hills. She contacted us so quickly after sending our email responding to that classified ad that we were shocked. Unfortunately, the apartment in that ad ended up not as appealing enough for us to see it. Carmen was very easy to talk with, so we had explained a situation with a different Realtor about an apartment we liked but another Realtor made an appointment to meet us and never showed. Since Carmen was so kind, we had asked her to find out if this apartment was a multiple listing that she could get access. To our surprise, she already knew everything about this apartment because she had recently rented it. But, she informed us that the recent renters broke their lease and it is available again. The asking rent was an issue for us because of our budget. She made an offer to the landlord but he said no therefore, we also said no and moved on totally disappointed. She then sent a few listings of other available apartments in the area within our price range but none of these appealed to us. We asked Carmen to keep us posted if any other apartments become available as we continued our search with other Realtor's. She said we could call her anytime and if we see something interesting that she is local and can show apartments anytime even if at 10PM in the evening. We thanked her and kept on looking. A week had passed since our last contact with her and after having plenty of disappointment upon disappointment with other Realtor's we decided to give Carmen a call. It was late on a Sunday afternoon when we called asking her if one of the apartments she had sent in the email was available for us to see because we were in the area looking with other Realtor's at that time. She said yes and met us at the building that had an available apartment shortly after we spoke. We didn't care for the layout of the apartment and were disappointed. However, remembering our conversations about the other apartment, she mentioned that it was still available but the rent hasn't been reduced because she already checked before we met that day. We then decided to go and see the apartment again, this time with Carmen. Giving it more thought, we told her that if the price isn't negotiable that we would accept the asking price. Then before leaving Forest Hills that same Sunday evening, she took the time to show us the local areas and suggested nice places for good food, going way above and beyond her responsibilities. Carmen was scheduled to leave for vacation the following day but promised that she would continue working for us to get into the apartment. Being true to her word, she was in contact with us daily trying to work with this landlord who was very slow in accepting us as tenants due to other situations he had keeping him preoccupied. Patiently, she called, emailed and text during her entire vacation time. This was totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. After signing the lease, she followed up with us that evening to make sure everything with the apartment was to our satisfaction. We had some issues and explained that it had not been painted as promised, but with her help working with the landlord, the next day it was painted. She offered her assistance moving forward should we need it for any other possible issues or questions we may have with the apartment. It was nice knowing that the Realtor / Customer relationship didn't end with Carmen (or Dallien Realty) once the lease was signed. After working with so many other Realtor's in Forrest Hills, only to be disappointed by nearly all of them, we were so happy to meet and work with Carmen because she does exactly what she says and consistently followed up during the entire process. Carmen assisted us with finding the perfect rental in Forest Hills and we consider her to be an asset for Dallien Realty. We will highly recommend Carmen to any one of our friends, family or co-workers that needs a trustworthy contact at a successful Realtor. We feel like we now have a friend in the business and will never hesitate to work with Carmen again in the future.

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!

Seriously-- heed the reviews…read more Omar was 20 minutes late to our apartment viewing before calling to say he couldn't make it-- he seemed apologetic and gave us the code to let us into the apartment, so I shrugged it off. As it turns out, this wasn't a one-off and he often cancels on his clients with no notice. After viewing, we were pressured into putting in a competitive offer above the listed price, plus a 15% broker fee (absurd, but we were unfamiliar with the renting landscape in NYC after the FARE Act went into effect). It took almost two weeks, and many, many calls, emails, and texts from both of us and our guarantors (we spent literally hours trying to get in touch with Omar), to finally be sent the application materials. ANOTHER week passed with no reply or acknowledgement before we gave up on the unit. The whole experience left us feeling frustrated and ignored. Do yourself a favor, avoid this group and any of their units. No matter how much you like the apartment, there will be another one-- without the headache.
