Jimmy's Raving Fans!

" Gary C. Manhattan, NY 1/3/2013 I recently moved from Los Angeles to New York for work. My move was over the holidays and one of my friends that already live in the city recommend I work with Ben Willig to find an apartment. I do not regret going with this decision and ended up working with Ben and Jimmy Fernandes. Both are extremely friendly, patient and helpful people. Prior to my move, I was speaking with Ben over the phone and email in regards to what and where I wanted to live. He asked me many relevant questions about my apartment hunt that didn''t even occur to me. Since Ben was going to be on vacation for the holidays, he turned me over to Jimmy. I thought that I would need to go over the same questions with Jimmy but he already knew what I was looking for verbatim. Jimmy had a whole list of apartments lined up for the day I arrived. My flight was delayed and Jimmy worked around my hectic schedule. It was dumping snow that day and he still took me to all the apartments. In the end he found me a building I would have never found on my own (I was looking for postwar but he found me an awesome renovated prewar building). The whole experience was enjoyable. I would recommend them. "

"I worked with Jimmy Fernandes of Anchor Associates. He was very knowledgeable about the Manhattan apartment scene. He was able to show me lots of apartments that fit my criteria that enabled to make an informed decision. He was able to suggest a cool place that I wouldn''t have thought would fit within my budget parameters, but did, and now it''s going to be my new home. I was able to find a new place quickly with Jimmy''s help and I had a place lined up right when the hurricane hit, thus saving me lots of potential stress. I would highly recommend him to anyone. "

" 0 1 Natalie O. New York, NY 3/24/2013 Apartment hunting is stressful, but Ben Willig and Jimmy Fernandes made the experience as seamless as possible. I met Ben four years ago when he found me my first apartment in the city. I had such a great experience that first time around, I knew if I ever had to move again, Ben would be my first phone call. Once again, Ben delivered. He also introduced me to his colleague, Jimmy, who was instrumental in finding me my most recent apartment. Ben and Jimmy showed me several quality options within my budget, and did not get frustrated when my search criteria changed a couple of times. They were extremely patient, and invested so much time and effort into my search. Ben and Jimmy are not just great brokers, they are great people. They truly care about making sure you have the best experience possible, and end up completely satisfied with your new apartment. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family, or anyone else who is looking for a new home. "

"• 5 stars o o Kate B. Manhattan, NY 1/11/2013 I cannot say enough about Jimmy Fernandes and Ben Willig within Anchor Associates...the best brokers you could ever work with!!!! I had previously worked with a couple pushy, sketchy brokers so I was very hesitant and nervous to move forward with any broker. From the second I talked to Jimmy on the phone, I knew I had found a gem....he was so nice, accommodating, always on time, never ever pushy, showed me MANY apartments within my price range, would continue to search for me daily when I hadn't found exactly what I was looking for, and on top of that, dealt with my anal type A personality...really can't say enough about Jimmy, such a good guy. Ben is just as great, such a sweetheart, and so accommodating. They both genuinely care and want their clients to have a great experience and that is exactly what I had. They were both so excited when I got approved for the apartment that I wanted that they conference called me together...their enthusiasm was adorable and I think they might've even been more excited than I was!!! I will FOREVER refer anyone and I everyone I know to these 2!!! You won't find better brokers in the city, I can guarantee it. "

"Go Ben and Jimmy! Val S. 0 3 Bruce R. New York, NY 2/7/2013 Ben Willig and Jimmy Fernandes . . . remember those names because they are worth GOLD! I am an Architect from Santa Monica and needed an apartment in Manhattan for my daughter and myself. There are a lot of fine realtors in New York, and a few who treat you only as a paycheck. Ben and Jimmy will be my go-to referrals and friends in NYC. We were staying in a temporary apartment while searching for just the right place. We had very specific requirements including, among other things, my insistence on safety and easy transportation to and from my daughter''s school. We also had other specifics which made a couple of brokers give up, not so Ben and Jimmy. They were always positive and reassuring and I truly believed they would find the right place for us, and they did! I can honestly say we would not be happily living where we are now without them . . . period. I''ve been in the service business for 30 years and these two people, Ben Willig and Jimmy Fernandes do all the right things to treat them like GOLD. Read this review on Yelp "
