I can higly recommend Drew's approach and I have already passed his information on to some friends who are looking for a place.

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.

We couldn't have done it without Kelly Lombardi and her incredible team! Kelly was knowledgeable, attentive, supportive, and so warm--she made the entire home search process enjoyable and stress-free. From researching homes to guiding us through tours and open houses, Kelly went above and beyond. She even crawled into basements and tight attics with us, teaching us what to look for along the way. As someone who started this journey knowing very little about the mechanical and structural parts of a home, I can't overstate how valuable her guidance was. She broke things down in such an approachable way, and we learned so much from her. Kelly will always hold a special place in our hearts--not only for helping us find our dream home but for being an impromptu photographer when my husband proposed during our final walkthrough on closing day. Saying "I highly recommend the Tandem Group" doesn't feel like enough. If you're searching for or buying a home, working with Kelly and her team is hands down one of the best decisions you can make. Kelly, you are truly amazing--thank you, thank you, thank you!

We were looking for an apartment and Margaret helped us find what we thought was a "wonderful…read moreapartment". Everything was fine until we realized that the home owner was coming into the apartment with out our permission!! Aside from that there was constant door slamming and fights. We could hear everything - the walls were so thin. The heat was another issue we had to constantly ask for it. Living in that apartment was pure hell. So when we moved out I called Margaret to let her know what an awful experience we had and she didn't want to hear it - her response was " I don't know what that has to do with me". We paid her a $1,400 commission based on her assurance that the home owner were "nice people". She conveniently forgot who paid her $1,400 commission we did not the home owner. It's not ethical for Margret to take prospective tenants to this place knowing that the tenants have to endure no heat, constant door slamming and invasion of their privacy. She didn't want to hear it because the commission check had long been cashed and she was not getting another cent from me. As O'Kane states "O'Kane Realty has been serving the Community with Integrity and Ethics for over 21 Years" ... that's not what the Yelp reviews say!!

I got to a showing early due to the fact I live 3 minutes away in the same area, while in their defense our realtor got there 15 min late (I timed it.) The agent showing the home was by far the most disrespectful & rude person I have met in the real estate business. The next door neighbor & the agent were outside moaning, groaning, pointing fingers at my car while my family & I waited for our realtor. Mind you we waited patiently due to the fact that its almost impossible to schedule a showing with this "Mickey Mouse" of a real estate company/business/whatever they call this poor practice. As soon as we got out the car the agent starts being rude unnecessarily in front of my wife & kids. He slams the door open & close then at the point we decided to not even go in & he states "good I wasn't interested either." Like really? Who does this guy think he is? Some sort of big shot? Yeah, right. Good try buddy. I normally don't pull this card because I disagree with it for the most part but this agent was none the less racist. This guy has no idea who he was dealing with & money wasn't an issue with us. I share this so no one bothers using this jimmy rigged business or practice for either listing or viewing homes.
