Jenny is the best!…read more The most important thing to me in this type of interaction is communication. Of the FIVE Astoria realtors I called, emailed, and filled out forms for, Jenny is the only one who reached out to me. I know the dead of winter isn't the best time to look for a place but... She showed me a couple places I wasn't wild about but then we walked to the other end of the neighborhood to check out one that wasn't on the market yet due to renovations. We met the building owner that day. I signed a lease soon after, and she was there helping throughout the entire process! Highly recommended!

I'm surprised to see the glowing reviews on here of Jenny. It feels like we're almost talking about…read moretwo different people. I met with Jenny during a recent apartment search, which was in the first week of the month (specifically, we met on the 3rd). I was seeking an apartment for the following month. After showing me one apartment that I didn't love, I felt like she pressured me to like it more -- telling me how perfect the landlords were, how I wouldn't find anything else like it, harping on features that ultimately didn't matter to me. It was incredibly awkward, and I found myself repeating that it's simply a matter of preference. It turned out that this was one of two apartments she had available at the time; the other was in a completely different location than where I had wanted. After this, she told me that I had started my search for an apartment too late, and that most apartments for the following month were already rented by now. As someone that was needing to find an apartment during the busy summer season, this was a stressful thing to hear. I ended up quickly finding an apartment with the next broker I met with. More importantly, though, were the vast number of apartments that became available throughout the week and the month. (Of course it wasn't too late to find a place on the 3rd, how could I have believed this?) While I don't like writing negative reviews of people in the neighborhood, I'm posting this in hopes that anyone with a similar experience will take it with a grain of salt. There are so many apartments in Astoria and in NYC overall. Don't let anyone rush your search. An apartment is a personal and important decision. And most importantly: your options are not constrained, regardless of what you're told.

Michael, the Stoic, what a great guy he is. My girlfriend and I happened to stumble upon him as he…read morewas leaving the realty office. He rushed back in and we exchanged information and within hours he texted me with listings. I couldn't believe it! A realtor in Astoria who actually wants to do business with you, who would believe that? Someone who listens to you and doesn't just show you junk you're not interested in... this guy is the MAN. He will look out for you. I've never paid a broker fee in my life but I felt it was worth it after working with Michael. My girlfriend and I wound up renting a beautiful 2-bedroom through him and we couldn't be happier.

Zach immediately picked up the call when I reached out the first time and even though he was on paternity leave, he still took the time to get a list of all the things we were looking for in an apartment and scheduled a few showings around our busy schedules. There were instances where he couldn't make it and he would even send another agent out to show us some apartments. He was honest, personable, extremely flexible and is sincerely looking out for his clients and their needs. We had a great experience working with him and will be recommending him to anyone who is looking to move to the Astoria area.

When I first moved to Astoria five years ago I was counseling with three different brokers to find a space, but it was Imtiaz who made it all so easy. He got me situated in a fantastic building that I've lived in for the past fives years - first in a studio unit, and later into a one-bedroom when I moved in with my wife. Now, he's helped us find an even bigger and better space since we're ready to expand. Working with a broker can be a scary process - you don't know what their motivations are or what they might pull over on you to get you in a space - but that was never a concern with Imtiaz. He's genuinely a person who just wants to help you find a space you'll be happy in. I referred my cousin and his wife his way as way - and he helped them find an apartment they loved. I couldn't be happier I stumbled into his office several years ago, and will continue to enthusiastically recommend him and NY Space Finders to friends and family moving into Astoria. Working with a broker you can trust makes all the difference in the world.

Working with him and the landlord was a solid, positive experience. The whole process went quickly and smoothly. They work with many types of landlords who have their own way of doing things. Finding parity between landlord and potential tenant can be tricky. This was well managed and we had a seamless experience. As my fiancé was going through cancer treatments, her/our living requirements and situation changed dramatically. We needed a safe, accessible, clean, modern apartment that would facilitate her recovery. The list of needs were rather imposing. Astor still found us the place that met our needs. I base my review on how Astor Realty via Nicholas conducted business. It was friendly, professional, and produced a highly agreeable result. Thanks again! We are very happy and will be calling them again as we look for workspace.

Thank you Nicholas.

So often, in all businesses one encounters people in customer-facing jobs who really seem to hate people. Maria and John are super friendly, honest, and really seem to enjoy working with people in the community and helping them find the right home. A lot of brokers we met with made us feel like they were doing us a favor by showing us an apartment and made us worried about our chances of finding the right place. Maria made us feel good about ourselves and put us at ease. Moving is always hard, but Metroline truly made our move as stress free as possible. I would definitely recommend Maria to anyone--though I hope not to have to use her services again for many many years. :)

Landlords get tied up in court for months trying to collect, while they profit. Milinium claims Eman doesn't work for them. If that were true, they would sue her for giving out Milinium business cards with her picture on it. But they don't because only a broker can hold a real estate license, not an agent. If you're a landlord, please consider going elsewhere. If you are a Tennant, don't be fooled and also check the average rent in your local area first. They also set up a "Millennium real estate two" sight to deflect all the bad reviews they are getting, to get a higher star rating, so be advised!

Second, the credit check was done through an actual portal, which felt way more secure. Overall, a super positive experience.

This is a person that puts herself first in her clients last which is awful. People are in need of places to stay and we have to worry about agents like angelica not wanted to share a commission. Its sad that the owners of the property does not have any idea whats going on, they just think it takes 3 months to sell an apartment which isn't the case. You have an agent hanging up on other agents that have qualified clients all because she doesn't want to share her fee. I wish her the best luck but she is horrible and words cant explain how i feel about her work ethics.

Fortunately, we had dated photos of the apartment showing it was in the same shape as when we moved in a few years prior, and we were able to get most of our deposit back after a lot of back and forth. If you're a tenant in one of their buildings, I highly recommend documenting the condition of the apartment when you move in (missing screens in windows, small chips or scrapes, etc.). Otherwise, they will make every effort to keep your security deposit.
