Nicholas Venezia did an excellent job on the sale of my one bedroom apartment in Dyker Heights…read more At our initial meeting, he came prepared with a marketing plan and comparables that demonstrated his in-depth market knowledge. He worked with me to set an asking price that would appeal to the market but not leave value on the table. I started getting offers literally one day after hiring Nick due to his network within the neighborhood that brought a number of prospective buyers to my property. After evaluating many offers in the following few weeks with his advice, we had a contract out less than a month after listing at 5% below ask. He was a pleasure to work with and communicated with me frequently throughout the entire process. I'd highly recommend Nick to anyone who is selling a property in this market.

Several years ago I needed to find an apartment quickly. I contacted Mark Ritchken at the NY…read morePrivate Realty Group. I was blown away by how quickly he found apartments within my budget and in great locations. He was professional, courteous, thoughtful and listened to my needs (all important qualities in a broker). In addition to his professionalism, he is most entertaining. He has so many great stories to tell -- from moving to New York City from South Africa to helping granddaughters of former U.S. presidents purchase apartments to sharing his experiences about rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. Ultimately, I found an unlisted apartment in Queens (I hated moving out of Manhattan) and decided to get out my passport and change boroughs. Mark was incredibly understanding. He actually encouraged me to take the apartment because it was such a deal. Next time I am in the market for a new apartment there is only one agent who I will be turning to to be my agent: Mark Ritchken. He knows the coolest spaces, the coolest neighborhoods and he's a great guy.

I was referred to Mark Ritchken and NY Private Realty Group through a family friend and they did a…read moregreat job helping me find my first apartment in NY! Mark was great to work with and really went out of his way to find the perfect place I wanted. I am moving from California and had to work with them via email and phone when I couldn't be in town to see apartments. I completely trust Mark's judgement and he didn't waste my time with run down units. He has been working in Manhattan for a long time and has built many professional relationships. He was able to use those connections and find the perfect place! Mark helped take the stress out of finding a place to live in such a competitive market. I will be sending all my friends to see him when they need help and I will be back myself next time I need to move!

Steve and Rossy helped us purchase a condo in Jersey City in May 2014…read more They were an absolute pleasure to work with. We were first time homebuyers and their top-notch negotiation skills were a huge asset to us. Both Steve and Rossy were always responsive and provided dependable advice every step of the way, which was supported with detailed explanations and reasoning. Most importantly, they made it clear that each decision was still up to us and they provided us with the right tools and knowledge to make those decisions. Steve knew the very fast-paced real estate market in Jersey City like the back of his hand, offering us valuable insights with respect to comps and prices in the neighborhood. His expert guidance and genuine interest in our needs helped us get the perfect home at the perfect price. We recommend Steve and Rossy wholeheartedly, not only for their knowledge and skill as real estate professionals, but for their integrity, positive attitude, sense of humor and ability to genuinely connect with clients on a personal level.

My new found professional friend is Reza. After seeing the house with one of his agents, he sat us…read moredown with a bank, and he took our deal, and pretty much walked us through the whole purchasing process. I enjoyed having conversation with him on a daily basis from my office. He was on top of the mortgage process and made us close with a good company who cared about us. Since this review is not for MTG, I will not mention their name. The bank was good, and Reza got us couple of discounts to make my deal even better. I heard many horror stories of bad Realtors, or real estate transaction, but mine was nothing but happy and smile. At closing table every one was happy, we did have minor issues, but he easily solved them, and made us and the seller happy. The rate was great, the payments were affordable, and the most important thing, Reza was with my family and I every step. I would refer him and his company to all my friends, and family. I would even buy another house from him if I can afford another one.... J.A.

He was perfect for us as we were just moving into the NYC Area for the first time. Kenneth worked with us to schedule appointments that fit our weekend only or after normal business hour schedule. He was very reliable and on-time to our appointments. He was very flexible, even answering us at midnight when we had last minute questions. He really looked out for our needs in an apartment by asking the right questions and showing us a few different styles to really narrow down what we wanted. Kenneth even went above and beyond, driving out to my place of work in Westchester County to complete final application paper work for an apartment that we were ready to move on. I would definitely recommend Kenneth if you plan on moving to Northern Manhattan!

Two, on the day of my signing he went tooth and comb over the details to the lease contract and for someone who's never rented before, this is important that someone take the time to explain it all and answer all questions! Post signing and receiving the keys I was still nervous and contacted Kenneth and he personally gave me peace. I sadly had to move for work but once again Kenneth's services were beyond amazing. I highly recommend him and speak well about him to my friends when they are ready to be renters! Not only is he a professional but you feel at ease as if he is a family member you can approach even if months go by! He believes no question is a dumb question! I will miss my apartment but hope that Ken can find someone who loves it as much as I did.
