    I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. If you need a real estate broker who is not only dedicated and sharp but truly cares about his clients as human beings, look no further than Craig Paulson!

He spent a whole day with the girls on a search for the perfect apartment and neighborhood. They truly found it In the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The rental process was not easy but Craig stuck with it and did a ton of work behind the scenes to secure the property. The girls are so happy and so are the parents. Craig also made their day of apartment hunting super fun for them complete with a ride through the streets and park on City Bikes. I highly recommend Craig for any of your real estate needs.

She lives and dies by text message and email, just like I do -- that was fantastic. She was patient with a newbie who only barely knew the new york apartment game and she worked hard to find a place we'd love in the neighborhoods we'd researched. A few minor communication problems about lease start dates and what we were and were not willing to provide for documentation aside, Christine was great to work with as well. All told, we went from "Hi" to "enjoy your new apartment" in just under 2 weeks, and in perfect timing for our crazy relocation and work schedules. When problems were pointed out or questions needed answering, both Christine and Leah were always available to keep our apartment hunt on the rails. We're now done, relocated and happy with our new neighborhood! Would I use them again? Absolutely!

This was my very first time searching for apartments ever and I truly did not know what to expect and was nervous for the entire process up until the moment I confessed to Eddie that my roommates and I were not exactly sure what to look for in each apartment. As soon as I told Eddie that my roommates and I were new to the apartment-hunting world, he lit up and wholeheartedly took on the role of a trusted guide through this confusing process. He encouraged us to take our time to look through apartments in different neighborhoods. He answered every single one of our questions (and we had A LOT) even including ones about Real Estate in the city in general and the difference between pre-war and post-war apartments. He laughed and joked with us, he listened to all of our priorities and what we liked and didn't about each place, he made sure to stay at or below our price range for every apartment, and he even pointed us to a great bar to get a feel for the neighborhood after Day 1 of the search. I didn't end up renting through Eddie due to an unexpected roommate issue and, while I was so heartbroken that my plans in the gorgeous apartments that I viewed fell through, the aspect I was most upset about was not getting to rent through Eddie. I can't imagine a Real Estate Agent who I would've trusted more to get us in the best place possible. I could not have had a more enjoyable, stress-free, and just plain ol' fun experience. I will be recommending Eddie and Noah to everyone looking for an apartment in Brooklyn. Thanks so much for your patience, kindness, and help, Eddie!

    This five star review is for agent Rachel Skumanich…read more I find the sheer variance in real estate agent quality baffling and deeply frustrating. And so with great trepidation I contacted Rachel who had been referred to me by Erick Hartz. Erick and I had worked together previously after a disastrous start with Nooklyn and a different agent (who I will not slander here against my baser instincts). Warily, I picked up the pieces of my failed apartment hunt with Erick and developed an easy rapport with him. He knows his stuff and made it happen under a tight timeline. So I was bummed to find that he was out of town when my recent search commenced...and exhausted by the idea of needing to grind through listings with a stranger. And so I contacted Rachel with low expectations...which would be quickly shattered. Her proactive communication, efficiency, and integrity surpassed my wildest dreams for a real estate agent. She listened to (and remembered) what I needed, understood the nuances of the BK neighborhood I looked in, and told the truth about each place we saw. She suggested places I didn't know about and made clear that helping me was a priority. When I found the right fit, she liaised smoothly with the landlord to keep things moving along, and advocated for me as a reliable and mature tenant. She gave me her time, (and didn't make me feel rushed), meeting me for an extra visit before I signed off on the new place, to assuage last minute jitters associated with paying a bit more than I had planned on. After I moved in Rachel texted just to check in and ensure that things had gone well. In sum, she treated me the way I wish we all treated one another...with kindness, honesty and patience. Now I have the kind of apartment I always wanted...a cosmic gift from the city on the eve of my 15th year anniversary of Brooklyn living. Working with Rachel ended up being incredibly fortuitous for me, and I hope you have a similar experience. Email Rachel Skumanich through rachel@nooklyn.com and good luck with your search!

    The agent that we worked with Suzanne was completely unhelpful and wasted our time. First, when we…read morewent to visit the location, I (a person of color) asked questions, but Suzanne responded to partner (a white person), never making eye contact with me. We're one of many couples who have less than stellar credit, but a fantastic income, references, etc and we were upfront about it. Even after she saw that we could clearly afford the apartment (I make 80X the rent) and we had an amazing reference from our landlord, Suzanne intensely scrutinized our application asking for documentation which was not required (like retirement savings account info). She then asked us for a guarantor. I managed to secure a guarantor (who was also Black), whose credit score is 700+ and whose income is on par with my own, and we were told that they still don't meet the threshold. When I asked the credit score threshold that they were seeking, I did not get a response. Instead I was asked if I wanted her to submit the application. THEN at the very last minute, Suzanne informed me that the rent was actually $700 more than listed on Nooklyn's website but that we would receive 2 months free. When asked where I could find this info on the website or in writing I did not receive a response. I truly believe that this bait and switch was an attempt to get us to withdraw our application and regardless, the apartment was not worth the $4395 net price they would appear on the lease. Still we were willing to consider paying since we'd given Nooklyn $1000 deposit and had gone through the trouble of finding a guarantor. Obviously, we did not get the apartment, but I do not even believe that Suzanne submitted our documentation to the landlord. As soon as she saw our credit score she seemed disinterested and attempted to discourage us from applying. Usually, a realtor would attempt to show you other apartment options, but for Suzanne we were just a credit score. A note of advice: if Nooklyn is unable to accommodate individuals with less than stellar credit regardless of income, savings and other factors just be upfront rather than wasting the potential tenants time. Or perhaps they just cannot accommodate people of color with credit issues.

She also did a ton of marketing/networking with buyers brokers and hosted an incredible open house with record attendance (in a pretty mediocre market). On the purchase side she was very knowledgeable about the local market including renovation options/costs/vendors. She is well connected in the pre-market space and was never pushy but brought us interesting ideas along with getting us in quickly to see things we had found. She navigated a very drawn out purchase and was an excellent advocate with good instincts about when she should handle something vs the attorneys. We're a year past closing and she's still checking in, offering help with things that are dragging out, and is an phenomenal resource for any number of trades specialists.

She is also very honest and always has the backup data and experience to support why something is priced the way it is, and as new buyers and sellers we needed the expertise!
