Having lived in 5 different apartments under a variety of different property managers before Mr. Jones, I can say his communication and transparency is a rarity and refreshing change in New York. The quick responsiveness to address any questions and concerns I've had has been greatly appreciated. The unit we've moved into is a true gem in Clinton Hill, with some of the best value for my rent I've come across in all my apartment hunting. If you're looking for a trustworthy landlord, while feeling confident in the apartment you'd like to move into, look no further - you've found it.

After numerous attempts, I was texted, "I'll call you back as soon as I get off of the phone." That was November 1st and it is now November 3rd. Unfortunate...

I wish them the best of luck!

I woked with Michael Zats to sell my apartment in Brooklyn Heights. He was, in all respects, the…read morebest broker I have ever worked with. The apartment was listed for sale in November, 2024. Several other brokers said it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to sell then and suggested I wait until Spring. Zats had a photographer taking pictures the day after I signed the selling agreement and held an open house about 7 days later. He held two other open houses and I had multiple bids in 18 days. I especially appreciated that he called me on almost every one of those 18 days to update me on what had happened that day with my apartment. Zats had a strategy for selling the apartment, he executed that strategy and effctively communicated what he was doing to me. And key to this very successful sale is that he worked extremely hard.

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.

Unfortunately, my experience with Angelica Blotkevich and this brokerage was extremely disappointing. There was a complete lack of professionalism, poor communication, and low-quality service throughout the entire process. Emails often went unanswered, and calls were not returned in a timely or professional manner. We planned to sell our home through her; however, there were numerous mistakes, poor decisions, and unprofessional actions on her side throughout the process. The information provided to us was frequently inaccurate, outdated, or poorly communicated, which ultimately led us to terminate the contract and move forward separately. When we decided to end the agreement, we were unexpectedly sent a bill demanding payment for photographs and brochures that we never specifically requested. This situation felt very unprofessional and disappointing. This realtor was recommended to us by someone we had trusted and worked with for many years, which made the experience even more upsetting. Unfortunately, the realtor who recommended her was deeply disappointed. Based on our experience, I absolutely would not recommend working with this brokerage and real estate agent. Den.

I felt they treated me just as they would've treated anybody with a larger and more expensive home. They live in Brooklyn, and they know and love the different neighborhoods. They're open and are great at communicating with their clients. I highly recommend them.

She offered to show me a few other places in the area, and was always so helpful and never pushy. I ended up taking the first place I saw, and again Jennifer made the whole process of filling out an application, getting the lease, and getting the keys so easy. Apartment hunting can be crazy stressful and I felt like I was in good hands. It's a nice feeling when you think your agent or broker is also being your advocate in the negotiation. I would 100% recommend and work with them again! (But I found such a great place I don't want to move anytime soon)

Inhumane bunch of people. Berman Realty is a multigenerational family business (patriarch Joe &…read moresons Marc and Stephen) who seem to have lost sight of what it means to interact with humans. (Stephen is friendly. The other two are deeply unpleasant and tyrannical.) They're very nice when they're getting you to sign, but this pivots quickly once you're a tenant. Unless you walk on needles around them (or even if you do), they'll easily get nasty with you in a totally unwarranted way. The apartments themselves are really not great - prewar and dated with minimal amenities. The heat was uncontrollably hot and uncomfortable (85 degrees in the winter with all my windows open) and very loudly hissing radiators. The tenant below me had a ceiling fan that made my bedroom sound like a washing machine. They took months to repair a very bad leak in my wall (the walls across the length of my entire apartment looked like they had shingles) because the building is on a single boiler. There was no laundry in the building, and I used the coin-operated laundry in the basement of another unit a block away. They offered and then rescinded my lease renewal and hounded me out of the apartment when I took too long to get my shoes out of the hallway. I look back and can't believe I paid that much to live in that dusty, moldy shoebox of an apartment. SO MUCH DUST even though I vacuumed every week. When I moved into the apartment I had serious allergies, and later on the allergies subsided but I would get sick much more frequently than I ever had in my life. For the amount of rent they charge, you shouldn't be living in a health hazard.

He was an absolute pleasure to work with from the viewing through the lease signing and was even able to secure me a multi-year lease (you gotta lock in those Covid deals, ya know?!) This company also manages my building and I've had zero issues in the almost 8 months I've lived here. They send exterminators regularly (totally preventative - I've had zero pests) and Gary is super responsive anytime I've had a question or an issue with my apartment. A+!

I recommend Slope Realty and would definitely rent from them in the future as well.

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!

Unfortunately, my experience with Zealestate would receive zero stars if possible. It started off…read morefine. We enjoyed our apartment, but then Zealestate broker (Omar Saeed Butt) worked with our landlord to jack up prices in the final years. The tactics were bold and stressful. On multiple occasions Omar would come to our apartment after 11PM and tell us we would need to pay more. He would stand in our kitchen and rant for 30+ minutes about how he knew Mayor Adams and cared about us. These were intimidating and unnecessary. This is during our active lease! When we eventually left to buy our own place, Omar got involved with the landlord and they withheld a reference until we agreed to give them additional money beyond forfeiting our deposit and moving out weeks early. I typically don't leave reviews like this, but anyone considering working with Omar/Zealestate should think twice.
