I recently had a great experience working with Rocco Losito at Coda. I am moving from across the…read morecountry and, like many out of towners, was skeptical of the value a broker can provide, but Rocco helped me navigate the deposit and application process for a very competitive apartment. He also accommodated a follow-up viewing so that I could take measurements, which I really appreciated (and he even brought me a tape measure since I forgot mine.) In the short period we worked together, he was responsive at all times and didn't mind me bugging him with small questions. I would be happy to work with Rocco again down the road and will recommend him to friends of mine looking to find a place in Brooklyn.

The best experience I've had with a real estate agency/broker in NYC. I contacted Pat through his…read morecompany instagram and he quickly responded and emailed me with several listings. We were able to schedule a viewing of three different apartments shortly after and my roommates and I found our dream home. Pat let us know when the apartment was going to be viewed again so we could put down a deposit and he held it for us for a month. The lease signing went smoothly even though Pat was unavailable due to a personal issue and had John finish the process with us. The only hitch was a miscommunication about the application fee which we thought was waived, but Pat rectified the issue by only having us pay half the fee.

I lived in Williamsburg for five years and had the pleasure of True Management being our property managers. They were always quick and communicative with service and I appreciated the ability to pay rent online, along with any maintenance requests through their portal. Would live in another True Management property in a heartbeat. If there was a way to filter through which apartments are managed by True, I'd choose those over any other options. They truly give a personal touch to what they do. Thanks Rob and team!

For context, I HATE brokers, especially New York brokers, they are always unorganized, anxious, and often don't listen to anything I say. Angelica was the exact OPPOSITE of a typical NYC broker - she is organized, calm, listens, and is very quick in helping you to get the apartment you want. I highly recommend hitting her up if you are looking for an apartment in Brooklyn - truly the best. Hope to stay in my current apartment for a decade and then reach back out to Angelica in 2035 for a new one.

I think some people have absolutely no clue what real estate in NYC is like. I viewed an apartment with Lesley on the 24th, put down a deposit on the 26th, signed the lease on the 29th and moved in on the 31st. This was the quickest move I've ever experienced in Brooklyn. There were no games like other offices I've dealt with. I found out approval status pretty much immediately which was great. Anyway, I would recommend this office to a friend who was considering moving to Greenpoint.

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

Avoid this place. In…read morethe 6 month span we spent here, we experienced: - a freezing cold room with no heating (windows were promised to be sealed but they sealed it in May, when the weather was starting to get hot) - frequently broken elevators (the coworking space is on the 6th floor so this was especially inconvenient) - frequently unavailable wifi - leaking roofs (the roof leaked on top of one of our employees) - extremely loud construction noises interrupting critical meetings / conferences - extremely cold A/C in all common areas (our team was constantly shivering) - an overheated room with no AC - frequently out of order bathrooms - weeks of no cleaning (even when regular vacuuming of rooms was guaranteed) ... the list really goes on. Plus the rents are at least $1000 more expensive than other great options in the area. It's a converted pencil factory, so it does have its charm, and we definitely would have been more forgiving if our concerns were dealt with. Not even speedily dealt with -- dealt with in general. Our concerns were constantly ignored. We are so disappointed.

Go to them if you're looking for a place in Greenpoint or Williamsburg!
