After getting totally screwed out of our first choice apartment at the last minute, my roommate and…read moreI were in a very serious jam. With no apartment and less than 10 days until move out, we both frantically emailed every listing on the usual apartment hunt channels. Martin, who was showing apartments for Blue Egg, went above and beyond to help us, driving my roommate around Brooklyn to look at several different spots in various neighborhoods. We eventually settled on a perfect apartment just within our price range and submitted our applications and a deposit that day. Although there were several holidays during our paperwork period, Elizabeth (the best!!!) was quick to reply even after business hours to let us know the status of our application. Elizabeth worked with the apartment owners to get our application approved. She really went way above and beyond what was required and I honestly can not type enough good things bout her. I was hesitant to work with Blue Egg because they have a few negative reviews, but after this experience and re-reading those carefully, it's clear that some people just do not understand how security deposits and applications are supposed to work. In the end, this was by far the most pleasant experience I've ever had with a broker. We really felt as though they had our back and their services bolstered the strength of our application. My roommate and I were SUPER happy with our services and just love our new apartment. Thanks so much Blue Egg!

Carol was recommended to us by a family member and after the first phone call I knew I wanted her…read moreto be our realtor. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process of the sale of my parents brownstone in Brooklyn. My siblings and I live out of state and Carol went above and beyond to assist in many instances when we could not be there. This was an estate sale and we had many questions and concerns but Carol was there every step of the way to help in any way she could. She was so kind, caring, and knowledgeable during the whole process. If you are looking for a broker I highly recommend Carol at 917 Realty, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for everything Carol.

She is a wonderful, professional, responsible, proactive, caring and calm realtor - everything you would hope for to help you navigate finding a new home! 10 stars! And the apartments she showed us were to die for, especially the one we are moving into this weekend in Prospect Heights. A friend told me she worked with Mr. Bryant at the same office, and she said he is also excellent. If you need a broker, I recommend 917 Realty with complete confidence. Thank you, Carol!

Don't trust their listings I rented an apartment that Blu…read moreRealty listed as being 956 sq feet. When I started taking measurements of the apartment to decide what furniture to buy for the place I discovered the apartment was only 857 sq feet (including all closet space, cut-outs and duct space - so the entire possible foot print of the apartment). When I contacted my agent at Blu to query this I was told that they quote the size listed on the official condo offering plan and to back that up they sent me a floor plan they said was the official floor plan. Unfortunately the room areas quoted on the floor plan only add to 788 sq feet. I asked for a refund on part of my broker fee and their response was - have your lawyer call us.

Vimal was recommended to my by a personal close friend and I was not disappointed. There are lots of shady agents in the NYC real estate market and working with VImal was a refreshing relief. Vimal was always prompt to return phone calls and emails and was very thorough in guiding me through the process. I chose to work with Vimal and Blue over anyone else because Vimal was honest and extremely respectful of my time. He worked around my strict 9-5 schedule and carefully used my preferred areas to only show me something I would like to rent. Effortless, smooth and the fastest rental process from start to finish I have ever had in NYC. I can't say enough good things about Vimal and I have recommended him time and time again to friends who have had similar experiences. Vimal gets a huge thumbs up in my book!

Wow, the horror stories of NYC apartment brokers are true. I met several of them. Absolute…read morenightmares, shady-as-all-get-out folks with no regard for common decency, truth or morals. AHEM, looking at you RapidNYC (AVOID!) and Level Group. And then, the apartment fairies took pity on my poor homeless soul, and led me to Eric Iannuzzi at Urban Spaces Realty. I was leery at first (after said experiences) but Eric's professionalism, honesty and credibility shined quickly. I found the posting on Craigslist (which was articulate, TRUTHFUL, with correct photos, etc) and I contacted Eric. He emailed me back right away, and we set up a time for me to view the 1.5BR in Park Slope/Gowanus. I trekked to his office at the end of a grueling day (and after shaking aforementioned RapidNYC broker after 5 failed attempts at seeing legit apartments). I was at my wit's end. I had 24 hours to find an apartment, and the only ones I was seeing were falling apart, creepy, basements, and the brokers were telling me "this is as good as it gets" and "we need to know right now, you should put $500 down to secure it." No thanks, losers. ANYWAY...we pop over to the apartment, and magic: It's everything it's supposed to be. Gutted and renovated bathroom (and a skylight!) and kitchen. 4 inch plank hardwood floors refinished. Decorative fireplace. Tons of light. Second floor walk-up. Bike storage in hallway. Cute street in close approximation to transit options. Clean, nice building. 1.5BR! (I don't really know what a half bedroom means to you, but to me it means WALK-IN HUGE M'F'in CLOSET!!!). Clean. Clean. Clean. New fixtures throughout. $1650. (At least $200 cheaper than ANYTHING I was shown prior, and all of which frankly...sucked). Hmmm, what's the catch? Nothing. Oh, a broker's fee of 10 percent? Worthwhile, he handled EVERYTHING. Hardly a catch. You can even put it on a credit card, which for lack of better term is MONEY because your cash is going to get sucked up for a security deposit and 1'st month's rent, as you well know if you are looking for an apartment. I need to move in a week, let's do this. A $35 credit check (reasonable) which I did on the spot at his office. I emailed him later that evening to let him know I wanted the apartment. Eric went to work and I had the lease, disclosures and all relevant info emailed to me the next morning. I printed, secured the cashiers check, and overnighted back to him. He confirmed all steps of the process and stayed in communication, assuring me all would be ready. And then a mere 5 days later, I picked up the keys (from Eric!) and moved into my new home in Brooklyn. He dropped off the countersigned lease himself, and has overall just been an awesome dude to work with...which I am beginning to think is a rarity. Need an apartment broker? Do your homework and don't waste time with hosers. Call Eric, or if you are checking out one of his listings...have no fear, this guy is legit, and so are the listings. Eric started this company a few months ago, but is experienced in the business. Small shop means personal attention, and when you are dealing with a move...best to have some good folks on your side. Home sweet home.

I am absolutely FLABBERGASTED by Sarah S.'s review......like Eric replied to her - that could NOT…read morehave been him. I am in 100% agreement with the other reviewer's on yelp so far (I read all of them). I have had zero problems at all with Eric. In fact, like Colleen C. has said, compared to other brokers (which Eric acted as a Landlord Agent --- so he collected $0 in fees from me) and shady real estate, realty, renters, or whatever scum I met with - Eric was a godsend. I spent 5 days throughout Brooklyn (driving in daily from Bergen County, NJ) to look at places all over - my girlfriend and I looked everywhere - Crown Heights, Williamsburg, Prospect Heights, East Wiliamsburg, Bushwick, Dyker Heights, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights. You name it, we looked. After the first four days we were extremely discouraged, would we ever find a nice place, where we trusted who showed us around? We thought that was a no. Most meetings went like this "hi, we are a young couple looking for a place for around $1700-1800, we want to live close to the bridges, as I will commute to the city in my car, and closer is better." ---- agent: "oh ok, well i have this amazing, cute, spacious, little apartment on St Marks and and Bedford - its a stone's throw from the bridge and the area is extremely safe and gentrifying....this kitchen is adorable i can see you doing so much with it." .... riggggght - if you've been to that area - you know what I mean. I wanted a place to feel safe, especially for my girlfriend coming home from the metro. These places, and people, were not welcoming or trusting. On the 5th day of searching we called Eric. Now...I will say, earlier that day I spent my time looking through downtown Brooklyn at high rises, like Brooklyn Gold, and other "net allocated" rent buildings, and was so put off. I saw the picture of my current apartment, and thought to myself - "well, this looks pretty fake - almost too good to be true --- everything is modern, brand new, and just ... cant be real" We called him on a whim, it was either to check out this place, or go home, upset. Eric was on point. He was extremely knowledgable and informative, he was relaxed and sociable, and extremely polite. He is the kind of guy I would hang out with. Now, Sarah, I don't know what he said to you (of if you even met him) to say he is uneducated - he lives in the area - he told me about all the hot spots of the area, what its like to live here, and made me feel like he genuinely cared about my happiness and future living in Brooklyn. I won't even touch on the "racism", as I cannot see him saying anything remotely close to that - it's laughable to accuse him of that. He was also extremely "unpushy" if that can be a word. He was showing multiple clients around the apartment at the time we did the walkthrough - and he took his time to come aside and show us around more on a personal 1-on-1 tour. We explored every nook and cranny of the apartment building and he spent a ton of time with us. Afterwards, I explained my situation and expressed my interest in the apartment as I really fell in love with it - and our experience was only amplified by his sincerity and straight up coolness. It didn't feel like he was working - rather, helping. So I told him i was going to put down a deposit. Pushy? No, sir. He told me not to worry about it - to go home - think about it - and get back to him "tomorrow" (which was a Sunday). Now this is a young guy who has a newborn - and he is telling me that he is willing to take time out of his day off to meet and do business. I said to him, "thats awesome, but lets just do it now..we can both enjoy our Sundays". Fast forward a month, I have been living in this building for 12 days now. Now, like any building it's not perfect. There are some small flaws here and there that I have been in contact with the landlord about. So let me put this out there ---- Eric does NOT own this building or manage it - he is only here to find tenants for the landlord. He told me if there were any problems AT ALL to contact him and he would get the landlord in action. He could have just as easily said to me "hey man, thats not my zone - get in touch with the landlord and he'll do it for you, but leave me alone - buzz off". Eric is in constant contact and SPEEDY replies to any question or problem I have. If i email him, i have a reply within the hour - If i call and leave him a message, he calls back in 5-10 minutes. I have a year to start looking for a new place if I do not continue to live at my current apartment. If we decide to leave, you betcha I will be calling Eric up first thing and asking him "what do you have for me". I would give Eric and Urban Spaces 20 stars if i could. Out of the 5 days, and 20-30 apartments I saw, and just as many brokers and agents I dealt with ---- thank G-d that I found Eric. Eric Iannuzzi: Thank you again for the sincere, competent, and professional, and very racist-terminology-free experience!

And you can believe everything she says, which is a total change of pace from NYC brokers who will lie to your face just to make a brokers fee. I never thought my husband and I would find a place in the West Village and I don't think we would be living in the neighborhood of our dreams without Shpresa and Julianna Realty.
