Alex is one of the most patient, kind and understanding real estate agent we have ever encountered! He showed us dozens of homes and was always eager to accommodate our busy schedules.

I would highly recommend Alex Giannikas to anyone interested in buying or selling a home :)

We worked with Matt Croteau during our cross country move to New York. What we liked best was his…read moreavailability, as he always responded to us regardless of when we reached out. He also listened to exactly what we were looking for in a condo and never pushed us to make a decision before we were ready to. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with realtors. I hate being pressured. Matt ended up showing us about half a dozen listings, and of course the first one was the one we circled back and offered on as it checked off every item on our wish list. We would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a no nonsense agent who will go above and beyond for his clients. I wouldn't normally leave a review for a real estate agent but Matt deserves some recognition for how hard he went to bat for us. I am beyond satisfied.

Charles was absolutely fantastic in helping my husband and I close on a condo. Charles took the…read moretime to explain all the details of the contract. He also meticulously aggregated the ridiculous amount of fees from the seller, the title company and every single nook and cranny part of a mortgage and real estate transaction process and provided us with a single number that we had to get a cashier's check for. Once we were at the closing, the selling agent watched as Charles explained and advised us on several pieces of the contracts and remarked at the end, "it's good to see an actual lawyer advising! We've done 14 of these closings for the same building and he's the only one that actually advised his clients!" My friend who also purchased in the same building mentioned that she had to get 3 different cashier's checks and write 5 different personal checks during the closing. It's these little things on top of his professionalism and thorough nature that made us very very glad that we went with Charles.

First off, I'd like to just state that there are nothing but good things that I can say about…read moreGeoffrey, and that I'd highly recommend him for anyone seeking a broker. I don't do Yelp reviews, but I couldn't not do this because he's a stand up guy and a professional. The NYC market can be rough and annoying, but he makes it as painless as possible. Geoffrey was attentive, diligent, and accommodating from day 1. When I initially messaged him about the property and let him know about my tough schedule, he sent me video, information and specs giving me a great sense about the apartment. He was quick to respond to my multiple emails/questions professionally and kindly, and wasn't pushy at all. When you talk to him, you get the sense that he's honest and genuine, a breath of fresh air compared to the other realtors I had used. He was up front about the costs, knowledgeable about the property/landlord, and provided tips and advice on the move in process. We've been in the apartment now for about two months and he still texts/emails to see that things are going okay. If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them, but as you can see from this review and all the others, if you go the broker route then Geoffrey should be your guy.

I would just like to start off by saying I have not met a more genuine nice guy who especially…read moreworks in sales! About 2 months ago my boyfriend and I started the long search of getting just the right apartment for the two of us. We were using one broker for a while but could not seem to find anything with her that didn't have some sort of issue. So we found Geoffrey on some random posting on craigslist. When I got in contact with him he was extremely diligent with asking me important questions as to what our specific needs were along with his speedy response to all my e-mails. I waited no longer than 5 minutes to receive an e-mail back from him. This made everything so much easier since we all know how every minute in the apartment hunt matters in NYC. Geoffrey had a great connection with what seemed like almost every apartment in Manhattan! He must have showed us over 15 different places trying to help us find exactly what we wanted. He was so patient and in general just a pleasure to work with. After the long search we finally found a spot and we love it! The best part was he helped us from beginning to end and even after. He even came with us to make sure that everything went well with the signing of the lease which was so great because you never know what you are getting yourself into with some tenants in this City. I would recommend Geoffrey to anyone and everyone! And to be honest I get it most people don't want to pay a broker fee and I didn't want to either - but after working with him I was more than happy to pay him and felt he deserved it and if not more! I can not speak more highly of his service and over all attitude!

We were so happy to finally have connected with Allison who was not only friendly, but listened to our needs and was not high pressure. We were very stressed with looking for our new home but Allison made it much easier for us. We would recommend Allison highly!

Allison made sure that wasn't the case by showing me a bunch of awesome places and helping me to figure out exactly what I was looking for.

Tal was the first broker I've ever worked with in my life. Previously, I had always been happy…read morefinding good places to rent by myself. When I decided to move to NYC, one of my friends mentioned that she had a great experience with a broker and asked if I wanted to talk to him. My first thought was "probably not", but I figured I had nothing to lose so I asked for his (Tal's) contact info. I had a call with Tal and was upfront with him about my skepticism with working with a broker. I honestly just didn't see a reason to work with one given that I'd been fine without one my entire life. However, he seemed very kind (as my friend had said), was very patient in answering all of my questions, and not at all offended about my direct line of questioning, including understanding his incentive structure or asking him to explain the benefits of working with a broker. I was unsure after our first call so I did some more research online about working with brokers in general and thought of more questions. I asked him for another call the next day and we talked for another half hour. What tipped me over the edge to decide to work with him was that he told me "he likes to invest in long-term relationships with clients". Although I had to take his word for it (and my friend's positive referral, which was a meaningful indicator), I took a chance and said yes. My decision was made easier by the fact that I was moving across the country and that there were no fees on my side whatsoever. I sent a detailed email to Tal with all of the places that I was considering and notes on the kinds of spaces and requirements I had. He planned an 11a-4pm day of tours for me when I visited and we saw about 30 units in 9 buildings. It was a long day but gave me a very good sense of the options. I could also tell that he took my email to heart and tailored the tour for types of units that I would like. I walked away that day with one unit that I loved and another one that I liked and would also consider. We talked further and he offered to show me more units the next day, so we met again and he showed me 6-7 buildings and about 20 units. I really appreciated his willingness to show me even more apartments, even though I was feel pretty good about one unit that I saw that day. We even started an application for that building on the first day, yet he still was more than willing to put in the work to schedule a second day of appointments based on my feedback of places I had liked the first day. The entire time we were together, and during the decision making process, he never pushed me towards one unit or another. At the end, I decided on the second unit that I saw the first day. Price-wise, it was among the cheaper options, but he never pressured me to choose a more expensive one even though he might stand to make more if I did. I also feel lucky because the unit that I ended up signing wasn't listed on any apartment search websites like StreetEasy! He also helped me with this place because he told me that shortly after we visited it, another person saw it and wanted to apply for it, but since he had showed it to me and had a relationship with the building owner, he was able to take it off the market if I was willing to move forward with an application. It's an amazing unit at a good price and I feel so lucky to have found it with Tal's help. I really felt like he had my best interests at heart all the way through, and I have to say that he won me over with his actions. I have talked with others who unfortunately have had bad experiences with brokers. If you go online, you'll read about these bad experiences (not with Tal, but with brokers in general). However, working with Tal surpassed my expectations and if any of my friends move in NYC in the future, I'd be advocating for them to consider working with Tal because it was such a positive and productive experience. Especially now during the pandemic when the market has flipped to be very buyer-friendly and the buildings/landlords are paying the broker's fee, I don't see a reason not to work with someone like Tal. If you have questions, feel free to message me directly on Yelp and I'd be glad to talk more in-depth about my experience.

His insights and advice throughout the process made the whole process seamless and easy!

I called them at 10:15 and they said there was a mix up and said someone would reach out to me at 10:30 instead. Again no one reached out.

I specifically wanted a virtual tour so I could see the building amenities etc. After multiple emails, calls and two reschedules they were still unable to do the virtual tour. All I got from them was sorry I am booked at that time. No alternate time or anything. If leasing office doesn't care about new prospects then how little would they care about existing tenants.

He was professional, took his time to walk me through the entire process, explain all my options in layman's terms, made sure that I understood every document I was signing and submitting.

During times when I was anxious, he was patient, encouraged me express my concerns and provided me with reassure that everything would work out and it ALWAYS did. I would be remiss if I didn't thank Sandra-his secretary/processor, for guiding me through the paper trail, staying on top of all parties, making sure every document was submitted on time, for her great follow-up and communication with me. Before transferring to Advanced Mortgage Consultants Inc., I was with a mortgage bank that delayed the process for over 4 months, repeatedly requesting the same or unnecessary documents, which was frustrating. Hands down, going to Advance Mortgage Consultants Inc. was one of the best choices I've ever made. Thank You Advanced Mortgage Consultants, Inc. for giving me so much attention and making me feel like I was your only client. Florence Ajayi-Barnes
