Ivan Suazo was one of the nicest broker I''ve met in 12 years of NYC. Ivan is a tireless and very professional worker and constantly trying to help the client to make the deal. Unlike any other brokers, he is a good and patient listener. He was also very fast, efficient, personable and didn''t mind answering any questions I had. He tries to understand what the client is saying. The best part about Ivan is that he tried his best to resolve every detail problems together with client. He didn''t give me any pressure and very friendly, always willing to assist through good communication. Excellent Work, Quality Service, Good Person!
I wish you the best!

Hi Danielle,
Danielle Rantapaa is the best broker I have ever worked with. Danielle is organized, responsible and timely; she cuts to the chase and shows you only apartments that align with your interests. Her energetic, friendly and polite nature has enabled her to create strong relationships with landlords, building managers and leasing offices all over the city, allowing her to negotiate the best terms for her clients. I would refer Danielle to anyone looking for an apartment in NYC.
Again, thank you for all of your help!!

“I engaged Ms. Rantapaa to rent apartments that I own in Manhattan, as an exclusive broker.
Ms. Rantapaa’s performance was outstanding. She was able to photograph, effectively advertise and rent my apartments extremely quickly. She was completely professional and a delight to work with.
She kept me abreast of her efforts throughout, was extremely responsive and personally took care of every detail of each transaction.
I have already highly recommended her to several friends who are looking for apartments in Manhattan”.
Sincerely,
Sharon Brender

I want to start off by just saying THANK YOU! Finding an apartment with you could not have been easier. You knew what to show me to help nail down the perfect combination of price and ammentities. In the end we wound up with something that was exactly what we were looking for, in our price range, and we did it quickly.
Eyal was extremely easy to work with, he gave honest opinions on all of the properties we looked at all while stressing the importance of moving quickly in the NYC market place without adding any additional pressure on us. Our interactions were always that Eyal was acting as our consultant, and not trying to sell us on the first apartment we looked at.

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for everything you have done to help me find an apartment. From our first conversation, you impressed me with your knowledge and expertise of the real estate market. You went out of your way to make yourself available in short time to show us apartments and everything you showed us matched what we were looking for. We were able to find something after searching for less than a week and couldn’t be happier with the results!I am extremely excited for this move and couldn’t have done it without all your help. It was a pleasure to work with you.
To anyone else reading this: if you are looking to work with someone who is courteous, dedicated, hard-working, honest, and trustworthy, then I would highly recommend Eyal, a true professional, for your New York City real estate search!
Regards,
Jon

Madison at Anchor is the man. He knows the city and he knows where the best deals are for each of his clients and what they are looking for. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great apartment at agreat price. Overall, Madison knows what he’s doing.
Thanks Again, Anthony

Hi Stacy,
I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful help with finding Kelby his apartment in June. He is very happy with his apartment and the location. We were dreading the whole apartment hunt but you made it fun while still being professional and organized. We were thrilled that we were able to get it all done in one day. Feel free to pass this on to your management team.
Thanks again!

I have moved every year since 2002 and in that entire time I have never found a realtor as committed as Chris. He promised to find me a perfect place on day one and he absolutely did. He knows the city and the market like the back of his hand. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and what I needed and never tried to push me in another direction. He was always prepared, very available, and flexible around my busy work schedule. I am thrilled with my apartment now and it is all thanks to Chris. The only downside is I love it so much I won''t have the chance to use his services anymore cause I won''t be moving annually anymore!

Guy has helped my roommate and I find apartments for the past two years, and we couldn’t have done it without him. He was able to work with our schedules and took the time to show us many different places in several different areas to make moving to the city as easy as possible. He organized all of the appointments and gave us great advice. We’ve already recommended him to several friends and would continue use him again in the future. Thanks for all of your help!

Madison was true to his word and showed us a wide range of apartments within and above our budget. He only showed us apartments that were viable options. He was very thorough in explaining the positive and negative of each apartment as well as the application process. I would definitely recommend him.

Dear manager,
My name is Erika Lockhart and I am writing to tell you about the recent experience I had with one of your associates, Ivan Suazo.
Ivan has recently found my roommate and I a beautiful apartment on the East River, which we love. After speaking with over ten brokers and different real estate agencies, I was extremely skeptical that I would be able to find a trustworthy and efficient broker.
Ivan has surpassed my every expectation, and his service far exceeds any of the other brokers I had been working with. There are several points that I''d like to mention:
Professional - Ivan always conducted himself in an extremely professional manner, he never made me feel pressured to submit an application on any apartment we saw, he listened to my apartment criteria and didn''t try to force other apartments on me that didn''t fit my criteria, and he didn''t make me feel uncomfortable about the budget we had to work with, all of which other brokers have done. The reason I chose to work with Ivan is because of his response to the first email I had sent him, which was longer, more detailed, more polite and sounded genuinely more concerned for the client than all the other brokers I had reached out to. He goes out of his way to pay special attention to his clients.
Efficient - Ivan responds to my calls and emails 24/7, including weekends. Whenever I had a question or needed help with the application process, he was very responsive and this was crucial in us getting our application submitted in a timely manner, resulting in us getting an apartment. Additionally, Ivan doesn''t waste time showing apartments that are not suitable, and he always made sure we would be able to get into all the apartments we were seeing (again, unlike other brokers I worked with).
Open - Ivan has great communication skills and kept me in the loop about everything. He went out of his way to make sure I was updated on the apartments we were looking for. He uses all modes of technology to ensure that communication lines are kept open with his clients, and he addresses every question and concern immediately as if we were his most important clients.
Available - Ivan makes time to meet with his clients, even if it is after normal working hours, and he is available right away. He can usually make time the very next day.
I am sure you have had several of Ivan''s clients write similar emails to you regarding their positive experiences with him, but I''d like to reiterate how helpful he was in my apartment search. He did an absolutely great job, and it was truly a pleasure working with him. Ivan is truly an asset to Anchor Associates.
Kind regards,
Erika Lockhart

We needed a knowledgeable Real Estate professional that could guide us through the search for an apartment in Manhattan. Eyal Zabari proved to be the perfect person. He has a deep understanding of the New York City market and educated us as to the best neighborhoods and the best values that would produce the greatest returns on our investment. He found the perfect building and location for an apartment for our daughter. Eyal didn’t just show us available listings, he did research into each building that we liked to see if there were any apartments coming available soon that had not been listed yet and found one in the building that we liked best. We bought it before it ever came on the market. Eyal is extremely personable and has incredible patience and perseverance. He is a proactive professional who listens very carefully to your needs. I would definitely call Eyal for any future NYC real state needs and have already recommended him to another family that is looking for a Manhattan apartment for their daughter. I am pleased to recommend his services to you. You will not be disappointed if you call him

Without a doubt,I would categorize Christopher Balazs as a Real Estate Angel. Prior to working with Chris, our apartment search was a complete disaster. Every broker that we dealt with either did not show up to the appointment or gave up after the first attempt. Chris, however, was loyal and willing to pull every string possible to help us find the best apartment. In a world that lacks honesty, Chris proved to be a truthful and straightforward man. My roommates and I were very difficult to deal with due to our expectations and our budget constraints. We were very lucky to have a real estate agent who was patient and understanding under the circumstances. As a result, we found the perfect apartment that met all of our criteria. Chris’s outgoing and friendly personality turned our process from frustrating to enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris’s services to anyone I know.
Thanks,
Paola Marte

Danielle was extremely helpful to me and my roommate during our apartment search. I had previously dealt with other brokers and I must say Danielle was by far the most efficient and listened to what our needs were. She took us to exactly the kinds of places we were looking for and made sure we were aware of anything that we needed to know during the search (i.e. apartment fees, comparable prices, etc). Aside from being very friendly, Danielle was also extremely professional with us and was clearly in it for our best interest, which was finding a new home that we were comfortable with and that fit our parameters. She even went above and beyond her duty as a broker to help us with finding the right movers and wall installation company. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone who is about to embark on the often difficult and sometimes stressful NYC apartment search - she will ensure that you find exactly what you need and the process will be seamless and efficient.

I can only say positive things about our apartment search with Ronny. My husband and I were looking for an elevator building on the Upper West Side and the other brokers couldn''t even begin to show us what we wanted. We were getting very discouraged and then we met with Ronny the next day. He sat down with us to review our search criteria and then showed us apartments with the amenities and price range we were looking for. We found our new home that day. Ronny made it so easy! He helped us with the application paperwork and was our support system through the entire process. Anyone looking for a broker who is down to earth, respectful, and serious about your apartment search should work with Ronny.

The NYC apartment search was definitely a much easier process than expected when working with Chris. He was professional, determined and truly candid with us at all times. I cannot stress enough the importance of honesty in the real estate industry. Chris is the most stand-up guy we have worked with throughout this search. He never once put his interests before ours and as a client, you truly feel that he cares about your well-being which is very rare nowadays. Even before we met him, he already came highly regarded by many of our colleagues. Chris had to deal with a lot of constraints like our schedules, vacations and apartment requirements. We were definitely not the easiest bunch to work with but Chris really came through for us in the end with an apartment that more than matched our expectations. I''ve never had a better experience with any other NYC real estate broker.
Thanks again

Met Dora through an ad in craigslist, was available quickly to show me an apartment. Liked the apartment but someone signed the lease over the weekend as I was deciding. I was set on the building and location so Dora followed up repeatedly with the building and immediately notified me when another unit opened up. Love the apartment. –Ray
|
|
|
Dora is a very professional broker who takes care about your needs and requests. We spent 4 full days with her and she found exactly the apt we were looking for. She was available 7 days a week and as we come from Europe, we really appreciated her help. I strongly recommend you Dora to work with. Stephane and Catherine |
|
Dora is GREAT! We had a very short window to find a new place for my daughter, who was moving down from Boston. The tricky thing is I had only one extended weekend to fly in from Dallas to find the perfect place. We communicated through emails, and by the time we hit NYC, she had places for us to look at immediately. By the weekend, my daughter was able to come down and we hit the top choices. Turned out, the very first place she showed us wound up being the place my daughter fell in love with and we got it! Beyond her professionalism, Dora has a warmth, intelligence, and humor that makes her fun to be around. I brought my 11 year old daughter with me, and instead of making it a schlept-fest, Dora hit it off with Abby right away. Abby wanted to see what the big deal is about NY pizza, and Dora helped make her see why there''s nothing like it in the world. Dora not only got us a place, but became someone we''ll look forward to having in our lives. Who knows? Maybe some day we''ll give up Texas for the Big Apple, too. If we do, we know who we will call first! –Maria B.

Orel was enthusiastic and committed to finding me the best possible apartment for me. She was always available and had a great upbeat attitude throughout the search process. She made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and easy.
Thanks again for everything!

Ronny:
I want to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with you. You really helped me understand my priorities for my new apartment. I was really going into a tailspin about finding a place, and you helped me stop the madness!
I will always appreciate that you had me sit and think about how and where I wanted to live. Not many brokers are as patience and considerate as you are.
It would be my pleasure to recommend you to my friends.
Many thanks for your kindness.

Other than knowing every Starbucks on the Upper West Side, Ronny will also show you nice apartments and doesn''t waste your time seeing the junk that is out there. He is not pushy like many brokers out there and was a pleasure to work with. Ronny made looking for an apartment in New York City an enjoyable experience.
Best regards,
Mike

When my girlfriend and I were looking for apartments, Ronny was enormously helpful. He showed us only what we were really interested in, and within a week, we found a perfect place. He was kind, he was responsive and he was very on-the-ball, and would highly recommend him.

I haven''t looked for an apartment in over 7 years and wasn''t sure how I should go about finding an appropriate place that would fit my needs. I decided to start with the internet and I came across Anchor Associates. At first, it appeared like most other realty websites until I came across one apartment and the title caught my eye. The broker claimed that, " he had the keys to the city". The apartment was appealing, so I decided to contact this broker and see if he could live up to his claim. As soon as I spoke with Aaron, I knew he was the broker I would need to get me into the place that I wanted. Aaron is first class all the way. I was picked up by his chauffeured Escalade and Aaron sat in the back with me with his computer picking off places from his data base in real-time according to my criteria. I gave him an ideal amount that I was looking to spend according to my budget and at no time did I feel pressured to go outside of this target. I have worked with a broker in the past and never felt as comfortable working alongside a broker as I did with Aaron. I truly felt like I had a friend that was helping me search for a new apartment rather than a paid broker. Although the chauffeur was very nice, it also helped in the efficiency of my search. I saw more apartment listings with him in a few hours than I have in three days of effort with other brokers. Needless to say, Aaron fulfilled his claim and does have the keys to the city. I found my place and could not be happier.

I just wanted to let you know that we''ve moved in to our new home and all is well. The apartment is actually even better than we remembered. Now we just need to buy more furniture to fill it!
Thanks for all your help in making it happen, including walking all over Chelsea with me for many hours!
Might see you on the street sometime!
Cheers

After leaving my apartment search in Aaron Seawood's hands, I was really able to relax and enjoy the process of finding an amazing NYC apartment. This is sometimes a difficult endeavor, but working with Aaron made it easy. He proved to be a seasoned pro throughout the experience. From seeing the first apartment to closing the perfect deal, Aaron was informative, efficient, and a real pleasure to work with -- I highly recommend him!
M. Pressman |

Aaron went above and beyond to find us the apartment we were actually looking for; proving to us that what we wanted really did exist. He never showed us anything we wouldn't actually consider living in and stayed within our budget and our neighborhood which was VERY hard to do. Aaron knows what he's talking about, is always calm and positive and really understands New York real estate. While I combed street and building websites daily for many months, “as I wouldn't use a broker after 10 years of living here", I soon realized he had a penchant for showing me truly spectacular properties that weren't yet on the market. We've recommended him to all of our friends who are moving without hesitation.
Thank you Aaron - we love our new home!

I have worked with a number of different real estate agents in NYC over the past year and after having spent time with Ronny Zimin, I chose to stop working with anyone other than him. While most agents are good at their job, Ronny is exceptional. He is meticulous, genuine, thoughtful, and caring. When he shows you properties, he has done his research and has listened carefully to what his clients specific needs and want are. He will not waste your time with properties that don't fit your criteria. Lastly, he is an excellent listener. I found him to be well versed in the real estate field, yet always open to learning more without embarrassment, ego, or defensiveness. If you're looking for a property, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Zimin to assist you in your search.
SIncerely,
Geof Prysirr

Hi Chris,
I was moving to NYC from North Carolina and had a limited amount of time for apartment hunting. With Chris'' help, I found the perfect apartment. I had limited knowledge of the different neighborhoods, and I didn''t know what I was looking for exactly -except a short commute to work. Chris didn''t just take my must-have list and show me apartments in the neighborhoods that I had requested, he was able to understand what sort of place would fit my personality. He took me to areas of town that are better-suited me even though they weren''t on my list. What can I say? He was right on. And it only took two mornings. I must admit that I looked for two days with another broker and company before my appointments with Chris. Let''s just say that I wish I had spent those days sight-seeing. I would recommend Chris Balazs to anyone who is looking for the apartment that will be a perfect fit. I really do appreciate your help. I am in love with my place and so excited about moving. Except for the actual moving part. And when I get to town, you, Marie and I need to get a drink.

Chris
If you have ever looked for an apartment in New York City, you know it can be tremendously stressful. However my experience with Chris was quite the opposite. His easy going nature as well his dedication was like a breath of fresh air compared to my prior experiences. He was extremely honest and did not waste my time taking me to places that were not to my liking or out of my price range. He made the entire renting process quite easy, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new place. He will not stop until he finds you what you like.

I wanted to say thank for all your help in finding our first apartment. I know we weren''t easy, switching neighborhoods, switching priorities list, but I greatly appreciate your patience with us as we found the perfect fit for us this year. The research you did to find several different style apartments in several different neighborhoods was top class. We will defiantly keep in touch and recommend your service to friends and family.
Take care,
Ana and William

As someone that knew zero about New York, I cannot thank you enough for helping me with my apartment search. Helpful is an understatement because you listened to me and got to know me and I truly believed that you suggested areas that would be right for me, my work and lifestyle. I have recommended you to may friends and (now) coworkers not just because you are a nice guy, but because I trust that you will help them find a place that would best match their life style too. Here is "why" I recommend you: when i asked you "why" you were so patient when I changed my desired location several times (and last minute), you told me that you spend the extra time with your clients to help them understand the city because they are likely to come back to you (and recommend you) again in the future. You are right. You provided to me a solid business reason as to why I should trust you with this decision and for that, I believe you and trust you and will definitively use your services again in the future. I knew nothing about the city and you could have really taken advantage of that in a negative way - but you didn''t. I never felt that you were forcing me into a neighborhood. I was so comfortable when I made my decision because you put in the effort to help me understand the city to make the right decision. I recommend you to my friends who are also moving across the country because I want them to to work with a trusted individual and have a positive experience to moving to New York. I wish you all the best and look forward to working with you again in the future.

My experience with Ivan was nothing but professional, helpful, and efficient. Ivan is extremely knowledgable, and most importantly, he listens to what you want and understands the needs of his clients. I had to find an apartment within a matter of days and Ivan was able to make it happen with his attentiveness and proactive attitude. I''ve already recommended him to my friends and hope to work with him again in the future!
Thanks,

As a former NY real estate agent myself and an investor and sales professional, I know what it takes to be a great agent. Sandra has what it takes for NY real estate. My partner Bob and I were fortunate to find her. Sandra''s enthusiasm for real estate coupled with her market knowledge, warmth and ability to determine the best properties for us to view within our budget made our recent Manhattan residence search a huge success. Our apartment is an absolute dream and far better that we thought we could get!

"In one afternoon Lazar taxied us all around town, giving us a feel for everything available in our price range. The last place we visited was too much to pass up, and by late afternoon we had signed the lease! Lazar makes the extra effort and brings a diligent work ethic to his business, always got back to us promptly whether by phone or email."
Thanks again,

While searching the craig''s list for possible apts. in NY to rent, i came across Ivan Suazo''s smiley face and decided to email him and see if he would be willing to help us in our search (we were moving from Canada to NYC). Since that first email in January 2010, Ivan has not only patiently responded to all our queries and concerns at any time of the day but also patiently entertained our requests to see neighborhoods in NYC four months in advance of our moving date! He was always eager to help us and at times even helped calm our worries about ever finding an apt. of our choice. Ivan was always on time for our meetings even when we weren''t. He worked really hard to make sure he showed us everything there was to show in the city on the assigned days. He never once got irritated or upset with us. We truly appreciated his immense patience about our demands and our quirks. Ivan helped us find our perfect home in NYC, one that we hope to call home for some time. We very strongly recommend Ivan Suazo to all present and future Anchor customers and for all the awards of appreciation that an employer can give to its employees like Ivan. Thank you, Ivan, most sincerely. We got lucky with you.

“There is one thing I can promise about Micky – you will not find a harder working broker in NYC. I have used almost a dozen brokers in my years in NYC and he accomplished more in 3 weeks than a normal broker would accomplish in 3 months (and that’s not an exaggeration). Aside from his work-ethic, Micky is also quite good at understanding his clients wants and needs and coming up with apartments that meet those specifications. And maybe most importantly, Micky is a nice guy who is easy to work with and truly seems to care about finding you the perfect apartment. I would certainly work with him again.”

uy,
Thank you so very much for all the hard work and effort you displayed in
locating the perfect apartment for me! I''m very grateful! I am impressed at
your ability to meet with me so quickly (despite it not being my originally
scheduled time) and the enthusiam you showed in getting me what I was looking
for. You had a variety of listings, but really focused in on what I desired.
You bargained well for my benefit and in the end I walked away with a lovely
apartment with great amenities at a much lower cost than was offered intially! I will absolutely refer you to my colleagues when an real estate agent is needed! Your "pedal to the metal" attitude guarantees success! In addition, you''re a great conversationalist and kept me occupied in between viewings! Good luck to your wife in her triathlon :-).
Thanks ever so much,

"I have met with quite a few brokers over the years when searching for real estate and I am yet to come across a more professional, honest and geniunely interested broker. Unlike many other brokersI have dealt with, Danielle clearly puts her clients before herself and her own commission and looks to find the right apartment for the right person. Thank you for all of your help with everything and I would certainly recommend you to anyone searching in NYC."

Ivan Suazo was the perfect broker in helping me find the right apartment. In a city with thousands of listings, Ivan took care to only show us the best properties, while making sure they matched every one of our requirements. His great personality and steadfast determination truly helped us navigate the confusing, and often overwhelming process of finding a great apartment in the city.

Now that I have arrived back home I wanted to take the time to thank you for all of your help. We appreciated your spending the day with us on Wednesday to make sure that we found the perfect apartment. I know it was a long day, but your help was very valuable. Thank you for your willingness to show us so many buildings, and your patience during our decision process. I will definitely recommend you to others who are looking for apartments in NYC.

Dear Guy,
I am writing to express my gratitude for your excellent service. Your suitable recommendation, patience, and hardworking all gave me a wonderful experience.
From the beginning of our cooperation, your recommendation never made me disappointed. Each option was a good fit for me, following my pre-requirements. It is difficult to choose only one of them.
During the process of apartment searching, you are always patient to me. Even when I almost discontinued our cooperation, you still gave me good suggestions. Thank you so much for all your understanding.
What impressed me most is your attitude to work. You are always energetic and don’t care showing how many alternatives to one customer. I feel I am a lucky person to have an agent like you.
I believe this is the beginning of our friendship, and I will definitely recommend you to my friends. Hope you realize all your plans in the near future.
Best regards,
Biao Xiong

Recently my fiance and I were on the hunt for an apartment in Manhattan and even though we had some idea what we wanted, we still had no idea where to look. This is when I contacted Chris at Anchor.Chris was wonderful to deal with and gave us a pretty big selection of apartments to look at in and near our price range. Chris has great knowledge of the city and the various property groups, so going in to see apartments was a breeze. We spent and entire weekend together visiting apartments from Gramercy to the UES. What we really liked about Chris''s approach was that he never pushed us into making a deal and when he sensed our hesitancy immediately suggested that we see another place. We finally settled on a place after close to 10 hours of roaming the city over the weekend. I have never had one agent spend this much time with me showing apartment without any presure to close a deal, and perhaps this is why Chris is so successful at what he does. We will definitely call Chris again on our next apartment hunt!
Thanks again for all your time.

Thanks again for everything, and don''t worry, I''ll be in touch if I need anything ;-)

In hopes to find the perfect apartment, I spent countless hours searching on Craiglist, NYBit, and speaking to other brokers. After meeting with other brokers, and seeing apartments that were either exactly what I didn''t want, or out of my price range, I became extremely discouraged by the entire process, and extremely angry at the hours wasted. Working with Danielle completely changed my opinion. She asked us what was important to us in an apartment, and then came up with many listings that were in my price range, and most importantly, exactly what I was looking for. In one day, she helped me and my sister find the perfect apartment. She was kind, thorough, organized and extremely easy to work with. Most importantly, she really cared about what we were looking for and didn''t waste our time; Danielle absolutely prioritizes her clients first and is extremely familiar and adept with the NYC housing market. I would recommend her to anyone without any hesitation. Thank you so much Danielle!
Best,

I''m a tough client. While friendly and mostly agreeable (on a good day), I hate sales people, hate NYC real estate, hate wasting my time, hate moving, and hate not being in control. I want what I want when I want it. I had a list of requirements, and I would not budge. My roommate also had a list, and when you held up said lists next to each other, we clearly had different priorities, and the apartment likely didn''t exist in New York City. To top it off, I was searching for my first Manhattan apartment after renting a room (and after a recent move from California). To say Aaron has his hands full with me (and my much sweeter and cooperative roommate) would be a gross understatement.
When I first filled out an interest form online, Aaron called me within two minutes -- and it was 930 on a Friday night. While I teased him, I was impressed -- he was clearly committed to his career. I rolled my eyes at his greeting, "This is Aaron Seawood, your favorite broker," but within a few minutes, he WAS my favorite broker. (Mind-reading: yet another service Aaron provides.)
Aaron found my dream apartment (a feat in itself), in the budget we set forth (an even bigger feat), and ensured my roommate was on cloud nine, too. He negotiated deposit, price, and made it clear that at the end of our lease, he would help negotiate yet again. I honestly didn''t think the apartment was out there, but Aaron delivered. I trusted him so much that I submitted an application for said dream apartment when I was in California visiting family, even before seeing the apartment. When I arrived back to the city, we visited the apartment, and he was right -- it was perfect.
Aaron not only met all my demands, he did so with a smile, making me laugh, calming me down, and keeping the peace between me and the [really obnoxious] leasing agent at the apartment building we decided on. The process, while potentially painful, exhausting, and where homicide was probable, was actually painless, energizing, and didn''t result in anyone''s life ending, or any black eyes. And that''s something.
Aaron did such an outstanding job finding my current apartment I don''t plan on moving any time in the next decade, but I still keep him on speed dial. People move in NYC weekly, and upon hearing their plans, I immediately say, "Do you have a broker? I know a great one. You do? Mine is better. Promise. Call him. Now." Or, "You don''t? Excellent, here''s his info. Call him. Now."
In Aaron you not only have a kick ass broker who''s looking out for your best interest, and has the knowledge to back it up, you also have a friend. Call him. Now.

"I''ve looked at many apartments through many realtors in NYC and Greg is pretty much the only one that actually listened to what I''m looking for. He kept the showings within the areas and budget I needed it to be in while other realtors fudged (lied) about the rent being lower when it was actually a couple hundred bucks more expensive (they gave me the net effect price but didn''t say that''s what they were doing -tricky). Greg was honest about all the deals and on top of it, the selection of listings he had were nicer. Next move I make I will definitely go back to Greg." - Carolyn

Danielle,
Thank you for all your help and patience. You provided us with very professional, reliable service. Always being punctual & attentive helped take the stress out of finding an apartment. We will be sure to recommend you.
Thanks again,

I had the pleasure of working with Danielle to find my new home here in NY. I recently moved from San Francisco, and was accustom to spending a lot of time on craigslist, trying to find the right apartment. In San Francisco, you have the flexibility and time to stop by the apartment two or three times before you actually move forward with your decision. Not here.
I decided to seek advice from an agent to help expedite my search, and I had the fortune of meeting Danielle. I also decided to work with a few other agents, and quickly realized that Danielle took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a home, and only showed apartments that matched my requirements.
She is extremely professional, understands what her clients are looking for, and makes the process as simple and effortless as possible. I would recommend Danielle to anyone that is looking for a new apartment, because she takes the time to truly understand everything you are looking for, and delivers in a timely fashion. Thanks Danielle!

Thank you for taking care of us so well, and always making us feel comfortable during such a challenging time in our lives. Our stay in 270 Park Ave So was stress free - and fun - because of all the caring people surrounding us, and especially you.
Enjoy this beautiful season, and I hope we have a reason to call you again, sometime soon.
Best regards from Chet,

I want to thank you for making my move to the city as easy and convenient as possible. Being new to the city was supposed to be an obstacle but your hard work and continual follow up made me feel at home in no time. I appreciate all the things you did that went over and beyond that of a typical real estate agent. Thanks for everything and I will make sure to recommend you to anyone looking to move to the city.

Dear Ivan,
We just wanted to say again how thankful we are that we found you! We were struggling to find an apartment when we found you and we finally felt as though we were in good hands. Thank you for getting to know us and for learning what we wanted out of the apartment. Both of us could feel how much you truly cared and were interested in getting us the best apartment for our price range more than just another paycheck. After meeting other brokers who left us with a slimy feeling, we were once again reminded how much we enjoyed working with you. We have already given your name to some people who are looking for an apartment, and we can''t imagine ever using anyone else in the future.
Thanks again!
Mary and Rachel

Orel was great in helping me find an apartment. Was very quick, professional and also very understanding towards some one moving from overseas and not really having a clue about Manhattan neighborhoods! Was able assess more what I was after and what I might like, this cut down a lot of time and wasted energy so thank you as I love my new apartment! Kirsten.

Marin,
Thank you so much for everything you did for Kelsey -you found her the perfect apartment in the perfect building in the perfect neighborhood!
I know it took a long time, and there were some unexpected problems, but it all finally worked out.
I''m sorry I won''t get to meet you, but both Kelsey and I will refer people to you as often as we can --Lani Sinclair

Hi Eyal,
Rina and I would like to thank-you for guiding us through our new adventure moving, after 23 years, from a 4 story Victorian home in Westchester County into a 2 bedroom apartment in The City. Your patience and diligence were much appreciated! And when things appeared to be getting a bit muddied at the end with the new landlord, you calmly and rationally saw them through, detail by detail, even though you were on vacation in Israel. If in 1 or 2 years from now we decide to consider buying instead of renting we will definitely keep in touch with you. You certainly went the extra mile for us.
Thanks for your support,
Joe and Rina

Orel was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. She listened to what we wanted and helped us find a great apartment. She was always professional and made the apartment hunting process easy and enjoyable.
Thanks again for everything,
Greg

I cannot speak highly enough about Chris. I recently moved to NYC from California and was relatively clueless about the rental market here. However, I provided him with some basic criteria and he took it from there. By process of elimination and unwavering professionalism, we soon found the perfect place for me. I am very happy where I live and will be here for many years. I highly recommend Chris for your real estate needs. Thank you!

Hi Talia...good news...after four LONG days, we are officially moved into our new apartment and ALL of our stuff(including the beloved dining room table and buffet) fits...and actually looks pretty good, for that matter!! We couldn''t be happier. Andy, as you can imagine, is currently staring out the window enjoying a Corona ;)
Just wanted to say hello...hopefully we will see you around from time to time in the building.
Take care and thanks!

Dear Talia,
I hope your day is going great. We want to thank you again for your great help in helping us find our next home. we are so looking forward to it and once we are all set and unpacked, we would love to have you over for "apperitives".
You were most helpful and patient with the search and for that we are most thankful.
Looking forward to seeing you again once we are back from Eretz Israel.
Warm regards,

"We recommend Danielle without hesitation for finding your home in the dizzying NYC rental market. She listened to our preferences and pin pointed exactly what we were looking for; and almost immediately. She has a keen sense of her client as well as the market place which made the experience of finding a home seem effortless"- C & S Stevens

I have worked with a number of different real estate agents in NYC over the past year and after having spent time with Ronny Zimin, I chose to stop working with anyone other than him. While most agents are good at their job, Ronny is exceptional. He is meticulous, genuine, thoughtful, and caring. When he shows you properties, he has done his research and has listened carefully to what his clients specific needs and want are. He will not waste your time with properties that don''t fit your criteria. Lastly, he is an excellent listener. I found him to be well versed in the real estate field, yet always open to learning more without embarrassment, ego, or defensiveness. If you''re looking for a property, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Zimin to assist you in your search.
Sincerely,
Geof Prysirr

Chris was a total pleasure to work with, and he helped us find an amazing place on the upper east side. From our first meeting, Chris was really committed to figuring out exactly what we were looking for and then showing us apartments that perfectly matched our criteria. He even made the apartment search fun, as he is an extremely laid back guy with a great sense of humor. We plan to have him over for drinks soon to celebrate our awesome new place! I''d encourage anyone looking for a place in NYC to reach out to Chris. He truly is a rock star!

Free time is a commodity that, like most new yorkers, I do not have. Even when it came to searching for my own apartment! I didn''t need to explain this to Danielle. She already knew it and from the very beginning came out with a plan to just show me the best apartments in my price range. The whole process was smooth, quick, satisfactory and (believe it or not) even enjoyable. What do you ask more of your broker ?
PS:Oh and just in case you were wondering..pictures in this page are from the actual broker ^^

Chris I wanted to thank you for all you''re help, you were awesome. I didn''t have much time to find a place and in 2 days you showed us the entire NY real estate market (not kidding). You listened and understood what I was looking for and didn''t stop until that was achieved. The process was smooth and easy and we actually had a good time even in the snow and rain. Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much for all of your help finding our apartment. We appreciate your patience and all that you did for us. You made our apartment hunting experience so easy. We absolutely love our apartment! It is the perfect place for us to start our new lives in the city. We will definitely pass your name on to any of our friends that are interested in moving and will contact you in the future if/when we decide to move again.
Best,

The best thing about Ivan is that he is a broker, but feels more like a friend and does not push his ideas on to you, giving you space to breathe (which I really appreciate, after having worked with other brokers in the past).
Anyone looking for someone diligent with the added personal touch, Ivan''s your man! Thanks Ivan. -- Krupa Amin

Ves is a professional, personable and extremely efficient broker. He is quite knowledgable about NYC neighborhoods, and a great communicator. We told him what we wanted and within 24 hours he delivered! Ves found our dream home in a full service luxury building in Hell''s Kitchen. He also negotiated on our behalf and got us a fabulous deal on the price, along with some extras:) We are so thrilled! We would definitely use his services if we''re ever in the market again for a new home. We would highly recommend Ves as your broker. Many brokers are all talk, but Ves will have your back all the way.

To Ronny Zimin,
Catriona and I thank you for your help and patience in gently guiding us in the daunting task of finding a great NYC apartment in one day. You listened to us and knew what was important to us. You showed us what we thought we wanted, knowing that it was not really what we wanted or what we really needed.
You listened to us and helped us realize our real priorities, and delivered an apartment that fit our budget and our needs. We really appreciated the time, energy and talent you put into showing us a number of places on very short notice. Your positive and friendly attitude made the search for a new place fun and exciting. After showing us a complete range of options and covering all the bases you never tried to rush our decision.
Your professionalism, knowledge of the industry and the city, patience, and genuine care was well above our expectations. We both left feeling that you had not only made it happen but had also given us your personal best in dealing with the landlord.
You are great in serving your clients and helping them feel more comfortable and less stressed during the apartment search process. You were a true pleasure to work with and we are very pleased to recommend you to anyone looking for help in finding a NYC apartment.
With our best regards,
Dave and Catriona Beck |

"Mr. Thompson showed us the utmost professionalism in helping us find the perfect apartment to meet our needs. We were immediately struck by his confidence, sunny demeanor, and diligence, yet we never felt like we were getting a "hard sell" that many agents give their clients.
His work ethic was commendable and he really took our list of criteria into consideration when compiling his list of showings, all the while maintaining a friendly, helpful, and understanding demeanor that took a load off the stresses that come with looking for a new home."

Thank you so much for all of your help. The wine was totally unnecessary, but very much appreciated. Best of luck; I will certainly refer you onto friends in need of a real estate broker.

I’m writing in reference to Ivan Suazo and the excellent job he did in helping my girlfriend and I find an apartment. Working with Ivan was an absolute pleasure in every aspect. His diligence, knowledge of the market, and astute attention to detail made our apartment search run extremely smooth. We spent almost 6 hours with him and saw over 20 apts. His preparation and organization allowed us to feel very comfortable in choosing an apartment that same day, which most likely wouldn’t have been available had we waited. I’ve worked with other brokers but Ivan is a natural at his job and it shines through immediately. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in search of an apartment in NYC.
Sincerely,
James Sabatino

Owen made what is normally a miserable and drawn out experience, pleasurable! He was prepared and only showed apartments he knew fit my criteria. There was no wasting time and he was familiar with the buildings and their management which made the final stages of the search simple. Thanks for all your help!!!

Jeff made the tedious process of finding of an apartment in New York as easy as possible. From the beginning, Jeff was honest, professional and most importantly, he listened to what we wanted in an apartment. He worked with our budget and showed us only the apartments that matched our criteria. Jeff’s knowledge of the Manhattan marketplace and persistent professionalism made finding an apartment an enjoyable process. Jeff not only found us a great apartment, at a great price, but he even accompanied us to the application signing, as well as the lease signing, just to make sure everything ran smoothly. Jeff is a true asset to AnchorNYC and an extremely valuable member to New York’s real estate community.

Danielle was fantastic to work with! I had to move out of my old place in PA and into NYC very quickly. In only three hours, she showed me 10 great places. At the end of it, I found an apartment I really liked, on a high floor with a view, for $900 / month LESS than I was prepared to spend. I couldn''t be happier, and recommend Danielle highly.

When my wife and I decided to move from uptown at the end of 2009, Gregg took the time, on weekends and weekdays, to show us numerous properties around New York City; listened to our preferences, until we found the perfect space in a luxury building downtown. Gregg is a true professional, very experienced and exceptionally personable, and though my wife and I had different ideas about our new home, Gregg took it all in and knew exactly what we needed - we both fell in love with the apartment he found for us!
Even better, as we went through the application process, Gregg took our calls, and made some of his own, to get us the information most needed in securing our lease. We very much appreciated the attention that Gregg gave us, as if we were his only clients. Needless to say that Gregg will always get our highest recommendation for friends, family and anybody looking for a new home.
Jeff and Anna Abelson

Gregg,
Just wanted to thank you for finding me and my husband the perfect place to live that feels like home! Your kind attention to details and actually caring for your client''s need are absolutely rare yet essential qualities!

I have worked with Danielle for over 2 years now. I could not imagine having found a better broker! She is reliant, caring, and very good at doing her job. I never hesitate anytime I get a chance to recommend her to others or brag about how I have the best broker in the city!

“Working with Ves was such a pleasure! I just moved to New York, had no idea where to look, and he got me the most amazing apartment on the Upper West Side. I am so happy. Thanks Ves!”
Anastasia Konkina-
“I tried looking for an apartment on my own, but I just couldn’t narrow down where I wanted to live. Ves listened to me, heard what I wanted in a home, and after only seeing three places I knew I had found my new place. I couldn’t have done it without him.”
Dewayne Nelson-
“Three words to describe Ves: Smart, personable, and savvy. I was amazed at how Ves knew the ins and outs of every neighborhood, current rental prices, and even information about upcoming new developments. A word to the wise: don’t battle New York alone. Use a broker, and use Ves.”

Hi Danielle,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help! You really listened to what Jocelyn and I wanted and ran with it. I especially appreciate that you put so much time into finding out exactly what we wanted and didn''t waste our time by showing us places that were out of our budget. You were always available and incredibly nice whenever we had a question or concern. You definitely went above and beyond! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and I hope that we meet again, and soon!
Best of luck,

Lazar,
I would like to thank you again for helping me to find an apartment that I am very excited about. I have been living and renting in NYC for over 17 years, and you have been by far the most knowledgeable, professional, and human broker that I have dealt with. You first listened closely to my concerns and objectives, and then devised a superb course of action to meet them. Also, when I was having some difficulty in deciding amongst choices, you were extremely helpful in pointing out the similarities and differences while maintaining your objectivity. And your close relationship with the leasing agent secured the apartment that I wanted. Finally, adding a human touch, which you have, is an admirable trait for any profession.
I thank Micky for beginning my process, and then referring you while he was away on holiday. It seems like a great team at AnhorNYC - I would heartily recommend you guys with no reservations
Sincerely,
Gina Palmieri

Hi Danielle,
Thanks again for your help finding us our new apartment. After living in New York City for several years now and leasing several apartments, this has been (by far) the most efficient/smoothest process I have experienced. You''re attentiveness to our preferences/requirements was right on target - consequently, we were able to find an apartment the very first day we looked!
Thanks again!

I highly recommend Gregg Hasenfus. We had a great experience working with him to find our perfect home. He was very nice devoted and informative. We came into town after a 5 hour train ride and he gave us his undivided attention the ENTIRE time. We had a very specific criteria and he made sure we got exactly what we were looking for. His knowledge of the city, neighborhoods and apartments features was very impressive. Never once did I feel rushed or like he was losing patience. We had this poor guy running all over the city in search of the perfect place and he delivered it to us. I have worked with various other brokers here and there, but Gregg was honestly the best. I will undoubtedly recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for a new home in New York. Thanks again Gregg!!

Thanks so much for all your help. Adam and I really felt you listened to us, and delivered apartments that fit our budget and our needs. You helped us realize what was priority; which was a real discovery for us both. We really appreciated the time, energy and talent you put into showing us great places. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude made shopping for a new place fun and exciting; thanks for being this good at your job!
We will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a new awesome apartment, you were great!
Let''s totally get together for drinks and we hope to meet this lucky wife of yours soon!

Having never lived in New York City before, the task of apartment hunting was a bit daunting but Aaron really was our superhero. While scrolling through the overwhelming lists of apartments online with my brother (who I would be sharing the place with) I blindly gave Aaron a call, thinking "maybe he can point us in the right direction."
Within a short hour of leaving a voicemail he called back and it all began to click. Aaron spent over a half an hour on the phone with me, a type of individual attention I never would have expected. We spent time really getting to know each other. It was very important to Aaron that he 100% understood what I was looking for. What were the musts, what were the extras, what were the deal-breakers, who I was living with etc. After our first conversation I remember feeling so comfortable and confident.
When the day came to check out the places, Aaron could not have been more professional or more of a pleasure to be around. Picking us up with a luxury car and driver made us feel so important too! When Aaron promised to eliminate any places that he knew couldn''t work with us and tailor our search, we could not have anticipated how right he would be. We never felt like any place we saw was a waste of our time. It was more of an experience like "all of these could work......now which one feels right and will work the best for us," proving Aaron really listened to us and really cared.
In the end, Aaron knew what we needed even more than we did ourselves. While having a couple favorite places in mind from the morning, he suggested one last place he knew we would really like. It was in an area that we hadn''t really considered and didn''t know much about. While hesitant for a second, we put our faith in Aaron and headed to check it out. It''s a great thing we did because that''s where we live now! The space was perfect, the price was reasonable, the amenities were wonderful and the location turned out to be a perfect ft for us! We never would have found this place on our own. Aaron even drove us around the area so we could get out bearings and explore our new neighborhood.
Aaron was incredible from start to finish. For anyone looking for a place in the city, I couldn''t praise him enough. He takes out all the guess work, the stress and celebrates with you when you find the apartment of your dreams. I couldn''t be happier in my new apartment. In fact, I know I will calling on him again when finding my next NYC apartment!
Ashley Parker |

Thank you, Aaron.
Given the timing of our travels in the past few weeks, we would not--we know--have been able to find and secure our new apartment so quickly without your expert guidance. We are very grateful for the sensitive way in which you applied your experience and skills to helping us meet our particular needs; and for the initiative you took on our behalf while we were away.
You do, indeed, have the metaphorical keys to the city!
Sincerely, Rosalee and Yves. |

“Working with Micky has been a pleasure, and we definitely recommend his services if you are looking for that perfect apartment in NY city. Micky patiently showed us several options and helped us navigate the hectic real estate market with ease. He truly understands what his clients are looking for and makes every effort to deliver top quality choices within given price parameters. Further, Micky’s contacts with building management and properties made it possible to set up meetings in advance, which further expedited the process. He has a great personality which makes the ordeal of apartment hunting kind of fun.”

Danielle immediately identified what kind of apartment I was looking for, showed me only selections that fit my qualifications, and when I found one I liked made the process go as smoothly and rapidly as possible. All while keeping me well informed every step of the way. I highly recommend letting her help you find your new home!

Dear Orel,
I wanted to personally thank you so much for being such an incredibly partner in finding and landing such a perfect apartment.
I wanted to delay writing you just to get Justin’s initial comments and extreme excitement when seeing the new apartment last night. He said it was much better than he expected. So cool to run into and to the street as well.
Thank you again and hope to stay in touch.

Dear Danielle,
Thank you so very much for helping Eugene and I to find our new apartment. It was a real pleasure working with you. I didn’t expect this process to be so easy… You understood immediately what we were looking for and made sure to show us only the apartments that would suit us. You didn’t waist our time and this was very much appreciated.
Your sunny disposition and professionalism are amazing! We are very happy in our new place – all due to your efforts.
Thanks again, and we’ll stay in touch.

Danielle,
I wanted to thank you again for the time you spent with Jaime and me on Saturday showing us several great apartments. As we mentioned to you that day, after dealing with some shady agents and their fake postings, we started feeling like everyone was just out to make a dollar and wasn''t actually interested in showing us what we were asking to see. Thank you for showing us that there are still agents out there who take the time to listen to their customers and show them apartments that can actually feel like home instead of just a place to store things. I''m sorry that in the end we didn''t take one of the great apartments you showed us but I can vouch for your postings 100% -you definitely don''t show "crappy" apartments. I wish you continued success in this recovering economy and I thank you again for all your help. If I can ever refer someone to you, I most definitely will.
Sincerely,
Ilya and Jaime

Vladimir is very easy to work with and flexible. He made it his mission to find us the best apartment that fit our criteria. He listened to our needs and wants and it was no wonder that it only took us one day to find an apartment. He was with us until the end answering our every question. My sister and I are not too familiar with NYC or apartment searching and Vladimir was very patient with us, always smiling and making us feel relaxed and comfortable. Even after we signed the lease he was in contact with us making sure our questions were answered and if we needed any help with anything. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Vladimir because of his knowledge and fun personality!
:-) We appreciate everything he did for us and our dream of living in NYC is coming true because of him!

Hey Danielle,
Just got finished moving in a little while ago. Very excited! Thanks again for everything! Below is my testimonial. I better see you at our apt warming party!!
Danielle,
Thank you so much for all of your help finding me my new apartment. It was such a pleasure working with you. You''re a true professional. You showed me nothing but beautiful apartments, IN MY PRICE RANGE! You didn''t advertise apartments that weren''t available just to lure me in. And you always knew all the right questions to ask, especially since I didn''t. By the time we were done looking, you actually knew exactly which features were most important to me. You made the whole process so easy and so pleasant. Basically, you''re awesome! Thank you so much for everything!

Apartment searching in New York can be painful, but Danielle Rantapaa at Anchor Reality made it a smooth and painless process. She was extremely patience with us as trying to coordinate paperwork with three people can be stressful. She was also available at all times for questions and allowed us to return to the apartment several times for measurements. We were allowed to move in a few days early to accommodate our holiday schedule which made the transition from our previous apartment to our current location easy. We greatly appreciate all of her help and will definitely keep her in mind for our next apartment search.

Eyal, we can not thank you and Shaun “The Zabari Group” enough for everything you have done for us during our apartment search. You made us feel comfortable the whole time and showed us many apartments so we could make the best decision for us. Not only did you help us find the place of our dreams, but you got us the price we wanted as well. You helped us through the whole process and took us through step by step. Thank you so much for all your help!

I want to thank you for making my transition into a new apartment as easy as possible. This was my first apartment in the city and I was quite lost sorting through the never ending sea of apartment listings online. I stumbled across one of your listings and I found your extremely professional and courteous on the phone and I knew immediately that you were the agent I wanted to work with. Within 24 hours you had organized nearly 10 apartments for me to see in one eventful day. Your promised you would find me my apartment by the end of the day, and you were right. I was shown around by your knowledgeable assistant Shawn and by the end of the day, I found my apartment. It was like you and Shawn knew what I wanted before I could even describe what I was looking for. You were always receptive to my phone calls and emails and you helped walk me through the lease signing process. I have been extremely happy with your service and I would recommend or even insist that any of my friends looking for an apartment enlist your help.
Thanks for everything,
Alex.

Last week, my girlfriend and I were looking for apartments in the Murray Hill neighborhood. Fortunately, we had the pleasure of working with Owen Shiron. Given that we had a very limited amount of time to perform our search, Owen made our search very easy. Not only was he professional, but he listened to what we were looking for and tailored our search accordingly. As a Philly native, I have heard mix reviews about using brokers when searching for apartments in New York. Working with Owen certainly dispelled those for me, and I will be referring him to my friends and colleagues when they are in the market. Thank you to Owen for a first-class experience.

Dear Mr. Schultz,
Over the weekend my sister(Emily) and I linked up with one of your agents, Micky, to tour some buildings for apartment rentals. Unfortunately my sister and I are unable to rent anything (right now) since we just found out that there is a conflict with her student housing. But Emily and I wanted to let you know what an excellent job Micky did. In just 2 days he showed us 13 buildings! He really put 110% into his job and is a very pleasant person to work with. Because of our experience with Micky, Emily and I are going to recommend, not just him, but the entire Anchor company, to anyone else who is looking for real estate in NYC.
Thank you very much,
Brooke Schley

"Micky was extremely helpful in my apartment search. Once he understood what I was looking for, he didn''t waste time showing me properties that didn''t suit my needs, only to meet his own agenda. He is without a doubt the most professional broker that I''ve ever met, and in my opinion, has restored a but of luster to a field that others have so carelessly tarnished. He made certain to use the most of our search time, and was hands-on up through the signing of the lease. I suppose the greatest testament to his contribution as a broker is that I am extremely happy every time I come home." -Jeff P.

Eyal Zabari was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is highly efficient, very pleasant to be with and managed to transform a stressful time to a wonderful experience and a great introduction to New York. And find us a fantastic apartment at the same time. We can highly recommend him and would use him again anytime".
All best

"I came to Lazar looking foran apartment in Manhattan and could not be more pleased with his work. He was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the rental market andthe buildings in the neighborhoods where I was looking. When I had my heart set on a specific apartment, he helped me beat the competition and get the apartment by arranging for an appointment with the building''s rental office early on a Saturday morning before anyone else even had a chance to apply. After I was approved, he helped me findmovers and maintained contact to ensure that the moving process went smoothly for me. Lazar is an exceptional broker and I will surely recommend him to any friends or family who need help finding an apartment."

I recently had to find new accommodation in the upper east side of Manhattan. Working full time and trying to find accommodation was a juggling act and I was finding it to be quite a frustration.
I contacted Shimon Friedman, whose name I found on the internet. I was actually contacted by a number of agents who were interested in my business. In the end I chose Shimon because he sounded sincere and did not make me feel pressured in any way.
Shimon was quick to understand exactly what it was I was looking for. He showed me a few places which were all of interest to me. In the end I rented the one which he suggested I would like the most before I had seen it. His judgment proved to be accurate and I found myself with an apartment that more than met my needs with very little fuss or worry.
Shimon demonstrated a high level of integrity and I would have no hesitation in giving him my highest recommendation for anyone who may be seeking accommodation.
Sincerely,
Frank |

My experience working with Micky was the best I have ever had working with a broker. He was very organized, professional, and focused on my needs. Micky was always on time and returned my phone calls right away. It was clear that he has an excellent reputation among the New York landlords and leasing agents and everyone was always happy to see him. I would recommend Micky to anyone who is looking for an apartment in NYC. He stands apart from the rest of the professionals in his field.

Hi Shimon,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in helping me find an apartment. Thank you for taking the time to understand my needs and bringing me to places that fit my needs. With that being said, I found an apartment in one visit. I appreciate this as I have previously had my time wasted with apartments that were not at all what I was looking for. I also appreciate you taking your time out to hand deliver the lease to me knowing how busy I was at work.
If I know of anyone who is searching for real estate whether to rent/buy/or sell, I will be happy to forward your contact information.
Thank You
Alexis

It was a real pleasure to work with Shimon. He was very professional, courteous, and reliable. He showed us exactly what we were looking for and did a good job negotiating the rent for us. The entire transaction went very smoothly. I would highly recommend him.

Nicky is hands down the best broker we have ever worked with. In one night, he led us around the city seeing apartment after apartment, each one an exact fit with our parameters. He is tireless and would have kept going if we hadn’t begged him to let us go home and sleep. He listens to what you want and shows you things that truly can work for you. We would recommend him to anyone we know.
Best,
Alissa and Keith

Dear Aaron,
We just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciated all of your effort and guidance in our search to find the right apartment in NYC. Your professionalism, knowledge of the industry and the city, patience, and genuine care was well above our expectations. We both left feeling that you had not only made it happen but had also given us your personal best.
You clearly did your homework on exactly what we were looking for, and knew what was important to us. After showing us a complete range of options and covering all the bases you never tried to rush our decision. You are definitely a broker extraordinaire when it comes to serving your clients and helping them feel more comfortable and less stressed during the apartment search process.
Again, thank you so very much for making a dreaded task almost painless. Even though my feet still hurt from all the walking, the weight that has been lifted from our minds by knowing that we found a great place, (at a great price) more than makes up for it! :)
Keep doing what you do, and how you do it. Until next time
Take care,
Penny and Reigan Combs

To Whom It May Concern:
I want to express my satisfaction in my dealings with Mr. Aaron Seawood, in finding my daughter and her friend a nice, safe, and affordable apartment in New York city on the Upper East Side. Mr. Seawood was referred to me by a friend whose son he had recently helped find an apartment in Manhattan.
I felt comfortable with Mr. Seawood the first time I talked with him. He listened to my concerns and addressed every one of them. He was able to line up several apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn for my daughter to see. He met them on a Wednesday and by Friday we had a great two bedroom apartment for my daughter and her roommate.
I cannot say enough about how professional, knowledgeable and competent Mr. Seawood is. I highly recommend Mr. Seawood to anyone looking for an apartment or other real estate in the New York City area.
Sincerely,

I have already recommended Micky to friends looking for an apartment. He is efficient, friendly, very responsive, and always on time. He listened, and didn''t waste my time showing me apartments far afield from what I said I wanted. He also went "the extra mile" in getting the deal closed and inked once I settled on a place. I''d go to him again, no reservations. |

Lazar,
Both my wife Anna and I wanted to express our sincerest gratitude for your efforts in helping us obtain the apartment we were hoping to achieve in New York City. Given our circumstances, you went above and beyond the call of duty and worked with the leasing office to help us obtain such a wonderful home. I don''t know if this would have been possible without your help, patience,and persistence. We felt extremely comfortable and never once felt pressured in any way--and for that,we are extremely thankful. We will certainly tell our family and friends about the great work you are doing.
Graciously yours,
Joe & Anna Philip

Hi Scott,

“We are very happy and satisfied with Alon’s help in our apartment hunt. Right from the beginning, he asked us the right questions and made it very clear that he wasn’t interested in wasting his or our time on apartments that did not fit the bill. He carried through his promise of finding us our apartment on the very first day. We ended up zeroing in on the first apartment he showed us which definitely suited our requirements for a good convertible 2 bedroom in the area we were looking at, that fit our budget. We were also impressed with his enthusiasm, and his method of working which ensured that all the formalities were done in time and he didn’t waste a second securing the apartment once we had made up our mind. We would highly recommend Alon’s services to anyone who has a good idea of what they want.”

Vladimir was excellent in getting us a great price on our apartment. He was very professional, and he helped us get two months free and free amenities. He also kept in constant contact with us during the process of getting approved and moving in. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment in New York.
Thanks again for everything!

Thanks again for all your help in securing us our loft apartment in the West Village. The process was painless. I''ve cc''ed a good friend of mine, Lyle, who is looking to move into our building in October. I''ll let Lyle tell you more about what he''s looking for, but I wanted to at least make the introduction. Enjoy the rest of the week.
Take care,

Hi Yitzhak,
Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely love our new apartment! It has been a really amazing experience for the two of us, the building is great. Have any of my friends contacted you? I gave your name to the two people that I knew were looking, a third had actually just found a place before I could get his name to you.
Thanks so much –

Hi Yitzhak,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help. Haili and I went in and signed the lease and got the keys to our apartment today, so it''s very exciting to have our apartment now and know where we''ll be living when the school year starts. You were a wonderful help and it was a pleasure working with you.

Aaron is an incredible broker! He listened and understood what we

All the best with your new place as well!

Hi Avi,
Thank you again for all your help in securing an apartment for us in Le Triomphe. I have to say when we started this process, we thought it was going to be quite difficult. However, you are such a good agent you made the process non-problematic. Besides being courteous and extremely helpful, your knowledge of the market was astounding. You zeroed in on what we needed in one day and took us to an apartment we are going to be very happy with.You are very good at "reading" people, and you always responded to our inquiries within minutes. We will highly recommend you to all our friends and colleagues.
Thank you again for everything.

Thank you for the kind note and the wall and moving contacts.
Your help throughout our apartment search certainly facilitated our move and made a stressful process much easier and less hectic. We appreciated the fact that you located us apartments to view that met our price range, location, and layout requests. More importantly though, you were able to find us great apartment that we are looking forward to move into. Thank you again for your help.
Best Regards,

Dear Mr. Schiller,
We spoke on the phone a couple of months ago about looking for an apartment on the Upper East Side. It turns out that searching for an apartment became way too complicated from a distance, and we decided to go with my fiance''s new job''s subsidized housing for the first year to relieve the pressure of finding a place. I''m sorry we weren''t able to use your services (I''m sure we would have had a nicer apartment if we had). You''re obviously very good at what you do, and I want to thank you for the help that you *did* give to us as we considered our moving options. Thanks so much, I hope you are well.

Connie and Scott, I wanted to thank you again for all your work in this process. We came a long way and it was definitely worth it. I knew right away when I saw the place earlier this year that I would be comfortable there and so far it’s even better then I expected. It really was worth the wait and by listening to everything you told me to do everything worked out perfectly. I hope you both enjoy the summer and please stay in touch.
Thanks again,

Alon is the most helpful, genuine, and energetic broker I have ever worked with. I was overly impressed with his market knowledge and even more so with his commitment to finding us the perfect apartment. It was truly a unique experience working with a broker who actually has a positive attitude and puts the interests of his clients before his own. Thanks Alon! |

I called Zsolt on a Thursday evening after a demoralizing visit to several apartments that cost too much and were not at all what I wanted. The next day he showed me a number of apartments that were much closer to what I had in mind. Throughout those visits, we discussed what I wanted in more and more detail, and he was able to adjust the plan on the fly. On Saturday morning I signed a lease for a beautiful apartment in a building and neighborhood that I have always loved but didn't know was accessible for my price range. Next time I move (although I'm not sure why I would ever want to leave my new place) I am going to call Zsolt. He was all I could ask for in a broker.
|

Alon was a great broker. A pleasure to work with, he maintains a constant line of communication – which is greatly appreciated. He understands what exactly you are looking for in terms of size, budget, location, amenities and finds apartments that suit the individual’s needs. Highly recommended to other prospective renters!

I approached Aaron to help my son find a decent, safe apartment in a very secure neighborhood. From the very first conversation, I found Aaron to be very professional, courteous, attentive, transparent, sensitive and very easy to deal with. He assured me that he would find a nicely priced apartment for my son, and he did. Also, the intricacies of the negotiations were very deftly handled. I am pleased to recommend this fine young man to any one.

"Nick was fantastic! After contacting him regarding a specific online posting, he offered to show us a variety of apartments in the same neighborhood and price range. After arriving punctually at the agreed-upon location, Nick proceeded to show us nearly a dozen apartments in a marathon day of apartment hunting. Nick's professionalism really showed as he gave us his undivided attention and continued a dialogue with us throughout the day to learn better what we needed in an apartment. As a result, his recommendations saved us time and ensured that all of the apartments we saw were high caliber. As the day was winding down, Nick even arranged for a colleague to pick us up and drop us off at the last apartment of the day!
As we made our decision, Nick was available to offer assistance at all times, even answering texts at nearly midnight! At the lease signing the next day, Nick accompanied us and was successful in getting the management company to include complementary passes for both my rommate and me to use our new building's pool and fitness facilities for the duration of our lease. Nick really stood out for his professionalism, dedication and engaging personality - not just any broker could have made such a frequently frustrating and complicated process so enjoyable!"

After living in NYC for over 15 years I finally found a broker I can work with!
Zsolt was always a pleasure. He was accommodating, flexible, and went out of his way to make sure that when I finally found the place that I wanted that it went without a hitch. I can recommend Zsolt without any hesitation!

We had an extremely positive experience working with Micky at Anchor Associates. Micky did an excellent job of understanding our requirements, and didn’t waste our time showing us apartments that wouldn’t fit our needs. He uncovered more inventory than other brokers presented us with, and was very helpful throughout the entire process. We would work with Micky again, and highly recommend him as a realtor!

Vladimir was hands-down the most pleasant and helpful broker we have ever worked with after living in Manhattan for three years and dealing with many different real estate companies. His patience, thoroughness and great personality all helped to make the inherently difficult process of finding an apartment a lot easier to take. Vladimir listened to our needs and worked hard to find apartments that fit what we were looking for within our budget. We highly recommend Vladimir for all of your residential needs!

Dear Micky,
Alan and I would like to thank you for helping all of us (Andrew and Jess) find apartments in Manhattan. We all had a different set of parameters, and you worked incredibly well with all of us!
Your professional presentation of all the material, your reseaerch and knowledge of the many neighborhoods, buildings and what each set of areas has to offer was totally impressive.In addition, your availability day and night was even more impressive.
We were only in for a few days and your flexibility and dedication helped all of us find the perfect place to reside.
Thank you for everything and all of your hard work.
It has been a pleasure getting to know you and it was great experience working with you.
We will highly recommend you to all of our friends.
Keep in touch!
Sincerely,

Zsolt, thank you for your hard work in helping us find our apartment! I
appreciated your prompt responses, flexible scheduling and the high
quality apartments you showed us. Your knowledge of the things you need to know to get the right apartment, but aren''t easy to find out about, was very helpful. Then when you showed us the one we ended up selecting, you were very helpful in the process of negotiating and completing the deal. Thanks again! Rob

Micky was very nice to work with. He was efficient, very informed, showed us exactly what we wanted, and never "pulled the wool over our eyes." He left us a very good impression of anchor associates. I will recommend my friends to work with him when looking for their next apartment. -Megan

To Whom It May Concern,
Recently i have had the pleasure of working with Mickey Pekija on finding an apartment. And i must say it was a pleasure. I had been looking for two weeks with other brokers and within one day working with Mickey i found the apartment i wanted. He was very smart when it came to searching out apartments with the most bang for your buck. He understood exactly what i needed and was very accomodating in terms of working around my schedule. Throughout the process he stayed in excellent communication with myself and the leasing office. I can''t express enough how much Mickey is an asset to Anchor and i will refer him to anyone i find that is in need of an apartment.

"Micky worked hard to find the right apartment for me, presenting a variety of opportunities in different neighborhoods. He has a thorough understanding of the New York City real estate market and was willing to make himself available whenever needed to help in finding an apartment and closing the deal. But above all, he is honest and extremely friendly. The next time that I or one of my friends needs help finding an apartment, he will definitely be the first person that I call. Thanks Micky! - Scott Stein |

Dear Scott:
Choosing an agent in New York City is not easy to do from afar. From the moment my husband first got off the phone with you he said that you were the agent he would like to use. Your professionalism, kindness and understanding came through right away on the phone and did not disappoint in person.
More important than anything was accomplishing the task at hand which you did so quickly and painlessly for all of us. You really listened to our desires which made the decision so much easier to make.
We can only thank you via this email for finding us a great apartment.
Sincerely,
Cindy & Paul Bellikoff and family.

Dear marin,
we are fine and enjoying New York! On the issue of the brokerage services provided we can say that you rapidly understood what our special needs were regarding our search for an apartment in New York. On that basis, you provided efficent and quality service which allowed us to immediately find a suitable apartment and at a convenient price. The ability to understand and to establish a connection with people from different countries and backgrounds is an important tool to get the best results and you certainly have that gift.
Cheers

I can not say enough about the great partnership my wife and I enjoyed with Marin. From the beginning of the process, until the very end, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. In making what might have been a very stressful relocation process rather simple, he balanced his knowledge of New York City and it''s apartment options, with a unique ability to remain calm and comfortable. He consistently kept our best interests in mind, and was absolutely tireless in his drive and desire towards helping us find our dream apartment. I would not hesitate to insist that any friend, family member, or colleague contact Marin immediately if looking for residence in Manhattan.

Vladimir is an extremely helpful, patient and kind broker. He doesn''t pressure you to look at places you do not want to see, nor does he try to tell you "nothing else is out there" like so many others will. Once he knows that you like he sticks with your desires, and shows you nothing less than Par. Overall, GREAT broker!

Dear Ali,
I just wanted to say thank you for finding me an apartment. I really appreciate all your patience and hard work. I felt very comfortable working with you and you made the transaction effortless. I appreciate your honesty, commitment, and professionalism.
I have lived in the city for 9 years and have dealt with several different agents in the past and you by far are the hardest working and the most enjoyable to work with. I have to say you are the first agent I have met that I trust and have confidence in, - so thank you for that. I wish you the best in your real estate career and will recommend my friends to you.
Thanks,

Hi Chris,
Sue and I wanted to thank you for your hard work and dedication to helping us find a new home. We thought you were very professional, honest, and hard working. We thought you were very thorough with your work. We thought you did a great job listening to our needs rather then simply trying to sell what was available. You answered all our questions, no matter how many times we asked the same question or how silly the question might have been and for all that, we thank you. Overall we thought you were the best broker we ever had. It would be our pleasure to recommend you to our friends and family that are in search of a new apartment. Although finding a new place was very stressful, we slept better at night knowing you were working for us.
Warm Regards,
Murray and Sue

Alison,
I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to all of my requirements and the type of apartment I was interested in. You were able to understand exactly what I was looking for in my next apartment, which is what makes a great agent. I know other agents have dragged me around to apartments they knew I wouldn''t like intentionally just so they could afterwards show me something better to try to make a sale. You put the client first, you are honest, and know how to make people happy. The process of searching for an apartment can often be very frustrating, but you made it fun! I really enjoyed working with you. Thank you for everything!

Dear Val,
We recently worked with a broker at Anchor Associates and I want to send a note to make sure you know how fantastic he was. We worked with Nikolay Hadzhikolev, he found us exactly what we were looking for and always had a great attitude. After working with many obnoxious brokers in the city it was refreshing to be in his company and he did an outstanding job. We could not be happier or more excited for our new apartment! I am going to recommend Anchor Associates to everyone I know!

To Whom It May Concern,
My roommates and I contacted Vladimir two months before we were looking to move in. He was more than willing to show us apartments so that we were exposed to as many buildings as possible. We are now moved in and settled and more than happy in our new home. We definitely would not be in the apartment we are in if it was not for Vladimir. He is patient, knows the areas of the city well and will easily work with your schedule. I highly recommend him if you are looking to find a great apartment in NYC!
Hope all is well and thanks again for everything!

My roommates and I were looking to move in a short amount of time on a strict budget. Vladimir understood our needs, and in one weekend showed us a variety of wonderful options! He was patient while we explored other options and in the end his apartments wound up being the best! Not only does he know what’s on the market but he really makes his customers feel at ease throughout the entire process. Being in a service industry it was commendable how fast he responded to any questions or concerns I had (usually responding within the hour). Thank you so much Vlad we could not have done this without you and I would certainly recommend you to anyone in need of an apartment! If I ever move you will be the first to hear about it!
Sincerely,
Lauryn

Aaron was great to work with! Aaron treats each client as if they are his only client, responds immediately to requests, and most importantly, kept showing me apts until I found something that I loved. What I liked most is that he never pushed any apartments on me. He seems to have a great relationship with the landlords and will try to get you the best deal out there!

Thank you once again.

To Whom It May Concern:
We highly recommend Vladimir Kulagin. For about three months, he assisted us in finding a perfect rental apartment. He listened carefully to our priorities, he set up tons of appointments with a wide range of apartments and rental prices according to our (sometimes crazy) schedules, and most importantly, he did not push us in any one direction. He is friendly and a pleasure to work with; he gave input when we asked for it but let us decide for ourselves what would work and what would not. He did not display any annoyance at our pickiness, and he responded promptly to each and every request/question we had. We will certainly recommend Vladimir to all of our friends.

To whom it may concern:
I would like to wholeheartedly recommend the services of Eyal Zabari, who was professional, tireless and thorough in helping my family find a wonderful apartment in New York City. In what can often be a complicated process, Eyal made the complex simple and easily helped to facilitate us finding a building that we love.
Eyal stayed in constant contact with us throughout process, making sure our every need was tended to and, most importantly, finding a home that perfectly fit our needs. He had tremendous insight into New York''s neighborhoods, offering us a variety of locations and buildings that helped make our decision easier. He was upbeat, on top of things, and never more than a phone call or text message away.
In a busy marketplace, Eyal made us feel unique and special, as if we were his most important clients. For that, and for helping us find a great apartment, we are truly appreciative and thankful. We cannot recommend his services highly enough. We will definitely tell our friends!
All the best,

My wife and I found Micky Pekija to be an outstanding broker and a great help in our search for a NY apartment. He was honest, hardworking, attentive and always available. He worked tirelessly to help us find our perfect apartment and answered all of our questions along the way. We would have been lost without him and we could not recommend him highly enough.
Thanks again Micky!

I moved to NYC in January, scared and confused about apartment hunting
in NYC. I met Micky through the site and immediately we developed a
good chemistry. Micky was very helpful in getting a great unit on a
great building. He always answered my calls/texts instantly and was
extremely patient with me, visiting over 15 apartments. He knew the
market well and followed my budget/location criteria very literally. Irecommended him to my friend and she''s also very satisfied with his work. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Truly an honest, straight
talker. I look forward to doing business with Micky again,

Hi Vladimir,
You have been very helpful in our search process - Shelby and I understand and really appreciate your input.
The Monterey truly gave off great vibes to her, I and both sets of our parents. My mom even liked it after hearing about it on the phone. A lot times, the "right" choice is to give in to how we feel. So, we easily decided that we longer need to "look" after finding a home that speaks to us.
Shelby and I have been best friends for over ten years now, so we are very excited to continue our friendship, and we are confident that overtime, our friendly will deepen through this experience.
I wish the best on all your future endeavors - we are very firm believers that doing business in a honest, efficient and fair manner is the only way to ensure long-term success no matter what you do.
Thanks again,
Angela

To Whom It May Concern:
Vladimir knows New York City very well, which was extremely helpful to someone who is fairly new to the city like me. He showed me only apartments within my price range and really listened to what I was looking for. He also gives his honest opinion if asked. He’s laid-back, friendly and patient despite the somewhat chaotic process of looking for apartments. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment in the city!

Alon,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me find a perfect apartment! You made what would otherwise have been a tedious and frustrating process, so incredibly easy. Before I contacted you, I was skeptical that I would ever find a place that fit my criteria and budget. But you knew exactly what I was looking for, and did not stop until you found it for me. Plus, you went above and beyond to get me a fantastic, almost unheard of deal. I could not be happier. I will be sure to refer anyone I know looking to move in NYC to you, because I am 100% certain they will benefit from your services just like I did.
Thanks again!

Danielle,
You were great to work with! Always on top of things; reminding me; asking very good questions and doing everything to close the lease in a timely and successful way. I cannot wait to work with you again.
Yesterday, some one applied at 1:00 PM, we qualified her quickly; she got her check and signed the documents and she signed her lease for $8,900 per month at 4:30 PM. It was terrific because she left NYC that night I believe. We love to do the large deals as well as the medium ones.
I hope we can help you on every problematic deal you have.

Thank you Danielle for being so kind and patient during this whole process. This was definitely new for me and i would have probably given up with anyone else. That is so cool that you are going to Israel. Have a wonderful time with your family. I''ll email you when you get back and let you know how the apt is. By then I should have been there a few days. Again thank you for all your hard work. I appreciated it so much.
You''re the best.

Danielle:
How are you?
I moved to the new apt on Jan 19, and I love the place!
Noise from outside is really minimal, and it''s actually very quiet. Much quieter than I thought it would be. It might get noisy in morning/evening rush hours, but I''ve never experienced it myself yet, and normally it''s very quiet.
The unit has so many closets, and I''m not going to have any issue with storage (although I haven''t unpacked fully...).
The view is nice and it''s actually a NW corner unit, I believe. My living rm has two windows facing north & west, and I can see Hudson River from my west windows, which I didn''t notice when I went to see the unit first time with you.
People working in the building are very very very nice, too. Building manager gave me a call as soon as I notified them that I have an issue using home phone (it was actually phone company''s set up issue, not building''s.). Super comes in as soon as I make repair request and fix everything very quickly. Doormen came to open the door whenever they see me carrying big or heavy stuff. One of them actually nearly tripped himself because he was in such a hurry to get the door.
And the unit is very comfortable to live in. It''s really made well & considering how to make the people who live in the unit comfortable.
And it''s going to reduce my monthly rent by approx $1,000, which is huge! I can use that saving somewhere better than paying rent.
I just wanted to say thank you again for introducing the apt to me. It''s really the best apt.
Pls keep in touch!

Micky,
I would like to post a few comments on your website regarding the excellent job you performed for me with my latest apartment search. This is the second apartment you found for me and both have been exactly what I was looking for. Your ability to listen and understand my needs coupled with your hard work ethic and being available all the time made the experience easy. I will definitely be looking for you for future apartment needs as well as recommend my friends and colleagues your way.
Thanks again.

I recently had the opportunity to work with one of your brokers, Aaron Seawood. In a word, Aaron was simply outstanding! I have purchased a fair number of residential properties in my time, so I have worked with many real estate sales professionals through the years. When I found myself in a situation where I needed to rent an apartment in Manhattan I, quite honestly, by chance sent Aaron an email in response to one of his advertisements on a rental property. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, honest and above all else a very genuine person. We spent about two weeks searching apartments before I settled on one (actually, the first one he showed me!). I always felt Aaron truly wanted me to get the apartment that was right for me and fit my personal situation. That meant a lot to me. He never pushed anything on me and I was certain that if I asked him to take me to another fifty apartments he would have done so and with a smile on his face.
Aaron understands that this business is, in fact, all about developing relationships. Client satisfaction was always his number one priority. I have been a salesman for the past 21 years and currently I''m responsible for North American Fixed Income Sales at J.P.Morgan Chase & Co., so I have a fairly good sense of what it takes to develop strong client relationships. Without question Aaron has these skills. I''m highly confident Aaron and I will remain friends past this basic real estate transaction. For me, I found a great apartment and a new friend. I''m a very happy client!

"Eyal has been a god-send. I would have never expected a broker to be so helpful. Eyal helped us get our apartment and even tried to help us sub-lease it when it didn''t benefit him at all; he did it just because he means it when he says he is committed to building relationships with his clients. I tell all my friends about Eyal and he deserves this praise."

I want to express how grateful I am for all your hard work and help.
Your professionalism and real estate savvy made it possible for me to

who appreciates the value of great client service.
Thanks,

Hi Nicky- It was a pleasure working with you. I''m still working on getting furniture in there, but slowly it is coming along. Thanks for all your help and positive mode during the whole process which was not easy at all but you made it special. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends as one of the best broker in the city.
Thanks again,

Micky established a good understanding of our requirements and was able
to arrange for viewings at short notice. He provided a good variety of
apartments to choose from. Micky was open and clear about offer details
and requirements. He enabled swift processing of paperwork for signing
the lease. He was very quick in getting back to us on any questions we
asked. Highly recommended.

My girlfriend and I had pretty much accepted our fate: finding an apartment in New York was going to be painful, nothing more than going from one dreary apartment to the next... and then we went to the Anchor website and found great apartments under Yitzhak’s name. We called him on Saturday and met on Sunday afternoon. He asked us a few questions before we met, so he would only show us the apartments that fit our criteria. He showed us awesome 1-br apartments, then 2-br apartments, each getting better than the next. We would have taken any of them, until deciding on a two-bedroom apartment in Alphabet City. Yitzhak was even kind enough to drive us around twice!!! We had it down to two apartments but couldn’t decide, so he drove us back to compare... all the while with unlimited patience and a smile. We’ve never met anyone in New York as helpful as Yitzhak and we’ll only refer Yitzhak to our friends looking for apartments.
If you happen upon this referral, this is not an exaggeration. He enjoys his job, which is an extreme benefit to you. He is very honest and will give his opinion if asked. We couldn’t be happier in our new place!
Thanks so much, Yitzhak!!

I just wanted to mention that you have been a great help in this endeavor, gave me the impression of honesty and were extremely responsive (even on Sunday evenings). In fact, during this process I have liaised with other agencies and brokers but working with you has definitely made this huge decision easier.

In the four years that I have been in New York I have moved four times so have become a semi-expert on brokers, moving, and finding the right apartment. Chris has been the first broker I could honestly say that treated me more like a friend than a client. He was very honest, straight forward, and patient. Even after jumping from area to area and from a two bedroom to a studio when I found out that my potential roommate situation would not work out. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for the RIGHT home and wants someone who will be patient enough to show them as many places as it takes until you feel at home.

Alon,
Just to follow up on Liz''s email, we were very impressed and happy with the service you provided. We made it clear from the beginning what we were looking for and what we were looking to avoid and you kept our search within those parameters and did not try to sell us anything else. I have dealt with several brokers in the past and have not had any positive experiences with them until we worked with you. You were efficient, honest and knowledgeable. I will certainly recommend you to any friends looking for apartments in the city and you will be my first call when I look to make my next move. Thanks again.
Jason

Hi Alon,
Thanks again for all of your help in our apartment search. It made things so much easier and I still can''t believe we found our place in a day! It''s such a great deal. We are so excited about the new place and can''t wait to move at the end of the month. You were a HUGE help and by far the most connected and informed of any broker that Jason and I have used in NYC. We especially appreciated the fact that you listened to our interests and didn''t waste our time or try to up-sell us. We will continue to recommend you to any apartment searchers in the area. Expect to hear from us in the future!
Thanks again,
Liz

"Alon was able to secure us an apartment even with our poor credit. We loved the first apartment he showed us and signed right there on the spot. The landlord didn''t want to accept our application, but Alon and his company fought hard to get us in. Thanks, Alon! We love our new apartment!"

Hi Nicky,
I am truly thankful from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate your efforts and your genuine desire to help me find and get this wonderful apartment. You have been gracious and more than helpful every step of the way.
I will recommend you as great person and broker.
Thanks again,

Nick – thanks for the email and thanks for understanding. Appreciate all the help and advice you gave us. Your level of knowledge of the market merged with your understanding of what we were looking for could not have been beaten. We will certainly keep your details for when we need your expertise again and we will pass them along to anyone we know of in need of a great broker.

Niky,
Thank you for your assistance... we are looking forward to our new home. Thanks to you. We think you did a phenomenal job and very very professional. I will recommend you if anyone asks and will let you know if we have any other needs in the future.

Dear Sir/ Madame,
I''m writing to extend my appreciation for Anchor Associates'' assistance in finding an apartment for me. I especially would like to offer my commendation to Mr. Nick Todorov, one of your broker, for not only for doing a wonderfulful job of finding a suitable apartment for me but also for his proffesional and helpfull manner during the whole process.
As a newly arrived diplomat, I realize how difficult it is to get an apartment in Manhattan that meets all my requirements but also flexible to my diplomatic status, however Nr. Todorov did a tremendous work to locate one for me and negotiate with the management of the building.
I have moved to the new apartment for a month now and quite satisfy with the arrangement.
I will certainly recommend your Agency and Mr, Todorov to my colleagues and friends in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Grata E. Werdaningtyas

Aaron, you must really own a Superman cape because you worked out some major stuff for me in finding an apartment in NYC. You didn''t even know me before I sent you an e-mail asking to see a place you had advertised online, but you answered right back, made appointments to coincide with my travel dates to New York, made sure you knew what I was looking for, and got down to business of finding a great apartment for me. We saw a LOT of places, but you never seemed to tire of the process, or... my occasional (?) indecisiveness. (Thanks for your patience.) It was also a great help that you were familiar with different parts of the city, and was able to answer my numerous questions. I am particularly grateful to you for really sticking with it when it came down to negotiating some of the points in the lease. Your hard work on my behalf got things done that I couldn''t have accomplished on my own. All this and we had a good time, too! Thank you!!

Dear Scott,
I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to thank you for the extremely thoughtful and generous gift you left me the day I moved in to 270 Park Ave 9D. It was so kind of you and very much appreciated. (I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to end a day of moving than with a bottle of champagne!) I’d like to thank both you and Gary for helping me with finding my apartment and making it such an easy process. You’ve been more than helpful and I look forward to keeping in touch with you for my real estate needs in the future.
Thank you,

I felt compelled to write a testimonial for Aaron Seawood after my recent experience. I’ve grown up in New York my whole life and lived in Manhattan for the past five years. After losing a sub-lease to the owners of the unit in my previous Midtown address, I decided I wanted to make a move back to the Upper East Side. Aaron, unlike other brokers I’d met during my search, cared first and foremost about what it was that I was looking for, and not what it was that he might have available. He listened to what it was I wanted, stayed within my budget and lined up apartments that fit my criteria. Needless to say I was happy for the change from your typical NYC broker who shows you apartments for 20% above your budget just to collect the commissions. Anyway, the first apartment Aaron showed me was everything I was looking for, in terms of size, quality, and amenities and I knew I wanted it. However, as luck would have it, I ran into an issue during the application process which I thought was going to prevent me from getting the apartment. This is where Aaron again impressed me. He fought for my application to stay at the head of the line and worked with the leasing manager to figure out the best way to work around my problem. Because of his hard work, I got my dream apartment, which is something I could have never done on my own, and something that I believe strongly that no other broker in the city would have been able to do. I hope that you all have the same great experience I had and I wish you all luck in your searches.

Hi,
My roommate and I recently used Anchor to find an apartment in NYC. Elle Nikolova was our broker. I am writing to say that we had an extremely positive experience working with her. She was respectful, helpful, and worked hard to make sure we ended up with an apartment that we were happy with -- she wasn''t concerned with just sticking us in the first apartment we saw. We had met other brokers in the past and Elle was a breath of fresh air compared to the way we were treated by many others! I wanted to write to commend her services and thank you for a pleasant overall experience with your company.
Best,

To Whom It May Concern,
It has been a month since we moved in to our new apartment downtown. This letter is to thank Vladimir Kulagin for his tireless efforts in finding us the right apartment that met all of our expectations and requirements. Vladimir showed me many apartments, and did not give up when none of those quite met our requirements. He was also very professional, very polite, and patient. And, he was also more than willing to show me apartments on the rather tight viewing time frames I gave him! Previous to meeting with Vladimir, I had talked to quite a few Sales associates, none of which tried to help in finding us the right apartment (most didn''t even bother returning phone calls at all).
So, I would gladly recommend Vladimir to anyone looking for their perfect apartment. He will help right to the very end....
Regards,
Lee-Ann.

Dear Yitzhak,
I wanted to thank you for your help in finding our daughter Hannah an apartment in the East Village. I appreciate your honesty and candor in helping us with the frustrating process of apartment hunting in NYC. Hannah and her roommates love the apartment and the location is perfect. Again, thank you for your help. We ill keep you in mind when we are in the market to purchase an apartment in the Big Apple.
Sincerely,
Deb, Chris & Hannah Herr

Aaron is the proverbial needle in the haystack. I was wary of using a broker after hearing horror stories from other friends, but from the very first minute I spoke with Aaron I knew I was in good hands. After our first phone conversatiom I called my boyfriend and I said, "I''m pretty sure my broker is fucking awesome." That''s how great an impression Aaron made on me in only a short five minute conversation. Aaron is completely honest and genuine, and he truly does have your best interest in mind. Not so typical for a broker in big bad NYC. I was shocked time and again by the thoughtfulness and care he exhibited throughout our process of finding and securing an apartment. A broker that will text you throughout the night and into the early morning regarding the width of a hanger compared to the depth of a closet is a rare find indeed. No detail was too small - Aaron took all of our concerns and questions seriously and handled them with the utmost professionalism. I never felt rushed or pressured during the entire process and every trial and tribulation that arose, Aaron smoothed over before I even had time to start worrying about it. Aaron put his personal life and vacation plans on hold in order to help us secure an apartment - he really went above and beyond and could not have been more gracious about it. On top of all of these things, Aaron is an absolute joy to be around. He can put a smile on your face no matter what the circumstances. I will definitely be keeping Aaron on speed dial for my next apartment hunt.

It was such a pleasure working with Chris. All I had to do was tell him what was important to me for my future building and he went ahead and found the best options and presented them to me without ever being pushy. Not only was he extremely informative and knowledgeable about the market, he was also very friendly and made this process as easy as I could have hoped for. I already have, and will continue to recommend Chris to anyone that is look for an apartment in New York City.

Alison,
I wanted to say thanks for all your hardwork and patience in helping me find an apartment in NY. I had talked with about other five other brokers who would lie about their listings, and show me apartments i didn''t want to see and weren''t in my price range. Throughout the whole process you were extremely helpul and informative about finding and living in a place in New York. Unlike all the other brokers who were just concerned with getting paid, you actually cared about what I was looking for and could afford to pay. I can''t thank you enough for ending my search for a place to live, and making the process enjoyable instead of painful. I''ve told all my friends that will be searching for apartments to get a hold of you, and if I ever need to find anothe place i the city, you will be the only person that I need to call. Thanks so much.

Dear Mr. Schultz;
This note is much too belated, but please do not let that be a reflection of how appreciative we are of Eyal and his admirable effort in finding us a place to live. I first contacted Eyal in March of this year; I also contacted about 20 other brokers. Eyal was not the first to respond, but he was the most polite, intelligent, and relaxed of all the brokers with whom I spoke. I work in commercial real estate and know my fair share of brokers...and these characteristics are reserved to very few in the industry. Although we were nearly 2 and a half months early for our June move-out date, Eyal stuck with us and called to check in every few weeks until we could start looking.
Eyal had a tall order to find us a big, bright 3-bedroom apartment for an aggressively low rent. Even more to the point, we knew what we wanted and were not going to settle for less. To make it even harder, we ultimately gave him about two weeks to find it. Despite our initial constraints, our pickiness, and the unforeseen obstacles like irrational and unprofessional landlord reps, Eyal maintained a positive and comfortable outlook. I think it is most important to stress how comfortable he was and is. At no point do you feel like Eyal is manipulating you or forcing you into something you do not like. He is friendly, energetic, professional, and well-versed on the history and current status of the market.
Finally, we could not be happier in our current apartment in Riverbank West, and Eyal made the whole process far more pleasurable than we’d bargained for. While it has taken me a month to send along this note, I have talked up Eyal to everyone who would listen. We have, and will continue to recommend him to all of our friends and associates looking to rent or buy and apartment here in the city.
So thank you, Eyal, for your tireless and significant dedication to our relatively insignificant apartment search. We definitely look forward to working with you next time around.
Regards,
Charlie, John, and Epeli

Hi Yitzhak:
Just wanted to thank you once again for helping us to get Andrea and
Melissa an apartment in Styuvasant Town. We are very happy and so are
they. You were very professional and personal at the same time, and we
appreciated all your input, etc.
I would like to make sure your boss knows just how helpful you were in
helping us, does he have an email or something so I could let him know?
Thanks again. You can be sure that we will recommend you in the future.
All the best to you and your family,
Peace,

Zsolt helped us find our great apartment. From the moment I spoke with Zsolt he was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. I must have changed my appointment with him 10 times, and at all times he was flexible and available. He also kept his promise in his Craigslist posting that he would give me a free iPhone when I signed a lease to a 2 bedroom apartment. I definitely appreciated his integrity and professionalism. I definitely recommend Zsolt.
Good night!

Dear Scott,
Although I can say “Thank you” many times, the words do not carry the deep gratitude and relief that I feel by knowing that my daughter has a great apartment in New York City. I feel that we were extremely fortunuate and that God answered my prayer by sending Scott Schiller in our direction. I only wish that I could have met Scott on the first day while in New York because I would have had more time to enjoy the city with my daughter.
After working with several other “Realtors” for the first few days, I was beginning to believe that the Realtors were more interested in squandering my time leading to deadend propositions on properties that did
not meet our requirements. As a Realtor myself, I know that the Realtor should place the clients’ interests above his/her profit margin; however, I truly felt that this ethical consideration was missing from every Realtor that I had associated with in New York.
Then, we were fortunate to find Scott Schiller with Anchor Associates. In a matter of hours, Scott had responded to our email; scheduled an appointment with us; and provided us with a glimmer of hope that we had found a great Realtor. Throughout the transaction, Scott was true to his word in showing us a great apartment that met our initial requirements in a matter of an hour. We were signed and dedicated clients within a few minutes
of viewing the apartment because once again, Scott was prepared with everything that we would need to get
the process going.
I found Scott not only to be a great Realtor in the true sense, but also, a wonderful individual whose genuine concern for the happiness and satisfaction of his clients is foremost in his actions. I am relieved to know that my daughter has someone to rely on should the need arise while in New York as well as wonderful place to call home during her internship program in New York.
Thank you again, Scott, for your dedication to your profession as well as your dedication to your clients. If I can ever return the favor in Kentucky for you, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Sincerely,
Andrea Phelps Noguchi

To Who it May Concern:
I recently contacted Scott Schiller regarding the short term rental of a furnished apartment for my nineteen year old son who will be interning on Wall Street this summer. Scott has been a pleasure to work with. He listened carefully to my request and understood exactly what I needed. He actually suggested neighborhoods that would be appropriate and on the day we met,selected three perfect apartments in three different areas to give me an overview of the market.
His thoughtful planning and experience led me to make a quick decision with respect to the rental of the apartment. He is an honest man who I immediately felt that I could trust. I valued his opinion because of his honesty, as well as his knowledge.
I will certainly contact Scott in the future with respect to any apartment needs I have. Scott''s personal attention is what sets him apart from others in the industry I have worked with. I will also wholeheartedly recommend him if the opportunity arises.
Sincerely,
Lauren Corrigan

When the lease on my new apt fell through unexpectedly, I was stuck scrambling to try and find a place three days before having to vacate my current residence. Alon was referred to me through a friend and treated my situation with a sense of urgency I never would have expected. Thirty minutes after our initial conversation, we were already out searching and before long managed to locate a great apartment that Alon was able to arrange for me to move into a day later. He truly was a lifesaver and I will undoubtedly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and hard working broker. - Kevin

Good Morning Marcee,
I wanted to take this time and thank you again for your terrific/diligent work in helping me find an apartment that was just "perfect" for me. After my initial horrific experience with another broker in this city, she tried the old bait and switch with me; I was hesitant to use another broker. However, you were a god send. From the way you listened to my needs and picked up on my wants to help make apartment selections that were in my $ range and my style. In New York time is money and you wasted neither for me. So thanks again. I will use you in the future and will gladly recommend you to any of my friends or colleagues looking to move.
All the best.
Regards,
Dean Kordalis |

Alon,
If I could say anything about you and your services is that: You guys were magicians. In less than 36 hours I was signing the papers for the apartment of my dreams and the service was unbelievable.
All the best.

Dear Mr. Schultz
As I write this, I am currently the proud owner of my new apartment at Sterling Plaza for 1 week now, and I couldn’t be happier. I wanted to take some time to give credit where it’s due; namely to Eyal and Bill.
As I contemplated which brokerage house to go with, I decided on Anchor mostly because Bill was the first (and only) broker of the dozens I contacted to call me back in a timely manner. Although I had first met Bill months before I was ready to make my move, he patiently refined my search criteria over the summer. Bill was in almost daily contact with me even though we both knew that I would not be able to move for several more months. The Private Client web-page was very useful, and showed me what Bill had been doing for me on my be-half. I felt confident that I had made the right choice to go with Anchor.
Once I was ready to start viewing some apartments, Bill’s research paid-off. Eyal took the researched criteria and was excellent at taking me around the city for viewings. While I may not have liked everything I saw, I did not once feel that my time was being wasted. Eyal was professional at every turn, always able to point out flaws in a listing as well as the amenities in each case with tactful style and distinction.
When the decision was made to pursue a particular listing, I considered the job the Real Estate Broker to have been completed. However, Bill and Eyal continued to be my advocates against the ridiculous process for my new condo-board. There were several problems standing in the way of my closing, from the seller skipping town for a few weeks, to condo applications. As my frustration grew, Eyal and Bill’s resolve grew as well. They were with me right through to the end, quite literally as Eyal even came to my closing.
I am a Real Estate Broker myself. My family business has been in real estate since 1907. I have been around this business since I could walk, and I can say quite honestly that I meet over a hundred brokers a year. Eyal and Bill were did not just do their job well; rather they exceeded what I have come to expect from sales associates. I will be recommending Anchor to anyone in need of your services, and I will come back to Anchor when it is time to turn my new home in a rental investment.
Sincerely
Paul

Dear Alison,
I wanted to write to you to thank you for all your help in finding an apartment. I also want to thank you for being so honest and professional. I had begun to give up hope of every finding an apartment I could actually live in and afford in Manhattan. I had also become so jaded by the overwhelming number of brokers I met with who wouldn''t give me straight answers and would continually bring me to apartments that were nothing like what I explained I was looking for that I felt like screaming or crying or both. You listened and really seemed to care that I would find a place to call home. I am definitely going to refer all of my friends to you when they''re looking for apartments, as well. You''re a diamond in the rough!
Thanks again!
Sarah

Hi Zsolt,
It's Ken Insana. Now that I'm settled and unpacked, I have a chance to sit and express my appreciation for a job well done. I love my new apartment, and the relative ease it was to find it.
Specifically, I appreciate that you took the time to LISTEN to exactly what I preferred, (location near Central Park, spacious, southern light
exposure) and then went to work finding places that met my needs. I also appreciate you keeping the paperwork process streamlined, and taking care of those little details. I won't hesitate to recommend your firm in general, and you specifically to any friends I have that are shopping around. Keep in touch!
Sincerely,
Ken I. |

When I spoke to Zsolt for the first time during the stressful period of looking for an apartment, I found him to exemplify qualities most New York brokers did not: friendliness, honesty, kindness, and a passion for finding his clients exactly waht they are looking for. Above all, Zsolt listened to our wants, needs, and limitations, and he found us the apartment of our dreams that ended up being cheaper than we had budgeted. Throughout the process, Zsolt maintained professionalism, integrity, and made apartment hunging/lease signing as minimally stressful as possible. Zsolt has my highest recommendation, and I can't imagine ever working with another broker now that I have worked with Zsolt!

Zsolt is the broker you should use if you have specifics in your head about
what your apartment should be. I gave Zsolt a specific list of what I
wanted (laundry, elevator, close to the 6 train) and he followed my "rules"
exactly, did not waste my time and was friendly none the less. During our
appointments there was no pressure to take the apartments, he did not
answer any one else's calls and always acted as if he was part of my team.
If you're going to pay a broker fee you might as well pay it to an honest,
genuine, supportive broker like Zsolt.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Val,
I was referred to Zsolt from a friend of mine because I wanted to move into Manhattan, but wasn''t completely sure if it would be the best fit for me.
My friend''s advice to me was to write down a list of "must-haves" and the neighborhood I wish to live in along with a price range and send it to Zsolt.
Doubtful anything I was hoping for existed, I received a phone call with wonderful news that there were indeed places that met my expectations.
Zsolt showed me a few apartments around the financial district, each one being better than the next. The last apartment he showed me ended my apartment search.
It was almost as if Zsolt saved the best for last, knowing indeed it was meant for me. The place is absolutely charming and I''ve quickly grown quite accustomed to my new neighborhood.
I have referred Zsolt to anyone I have known beginning an apartment search in Manhattan. I think he is a fabulous broker, who is very understanding and not pushy.
If you know what you want, I can guarantee you he will find it. I''ve never felt more confident and satisfied in any other decision.

Zsolt has been a terrific broker for us.
He is a good listener and it turned out that the 1st apartment he
showed us, was the ideal apartment for us.
He assisted us very well with the paperwork and negotiations with the
landlord.
As we write, we just moved in, and this all happened in less than 4
weeks.
We enjoy our new apartment in the Upper East Side enormously.

Zsolt did a great job providing the service I needed. I have worked with other rental agents who did not listen to what my expectations were. Not only did Zsolt meet them, but exceeding them. I have been living in my new apartment for three weeks and love it. Next time I move I will make sure that I call Zsolt again.

Dear Eyal:
I just wanted to write and thank you very much for all of the help you’ve been to Will and I in regard to not only the finding of an apartment but in negotiating the lease agreement. Your personal interest in trying to help us went above and beyond the call of duty. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to work with you in a couple of years when the time comes to buy. Establishing working relationships with good people are a valuable find. Again, thank you very much. I hope Anchor realizes what a valuable find they have in you. With more realtors like you they should have people lined up out the door.
Very truly yours,
R. Lyons |

Dear Mr. Schultz,
I’m writing today to express what a pleasure it has been having Eyal Zabari as a realtor. I am happy to say that after meeting with Eyal on Wednesday of last week, my application is already complete for an apartment that I love.
Eyal has exhibited the utmost professionalism from the moment we met. Unlike other realtors that I was using, Eyal took the time to find out exactly what I was looking for. He did not waste any time, and only showed me those apartments that fit my criteria.
Ever since first speaking with Eyal, he put forth much effort to make the apartment finding process easy for me. He accommodated my work schedule, so that we could meet in the evening to look at apartments. He also did extra research to find a listing in the building that I was most interested. Further, he came to my office three days in a row to pick up paperwork from me, saving me a trip to his office. I greatly appreciate his commitment and dedication in getting me the ideal apartment quickly and efficiently.
In less than a week from first looking at apartments with Eyal, I’ve found a wonderful apartment, completed the application process, and am awaiting approval from the Board.
I don’t want Eyal’s hard work, enthusiasm and devotion to go unnoticed. Anchor Associates is lucky to have Eyal as part of their team. I look forward to using Eyal Zabari and Anchor Associates in the future and will recommend Eyal and Anchor to my friends.
Sincerely,
Victoria F. |

Hi Zsolt,
The best part of my new home is waking up into this amazing light! It''s
Also great to have water around, what a calming and relaxing presence; I guess I''ve always wanted to live on an island, without realizing it...
Thanks Again,

I asked Zsolt for your email address so that I could tell you what a pleasure it was to work with Mr. Bene. He works hard for the customer and made my daughter and I feel like he really was working to find the best housing solution for us.
Again, it was a pleasure working with Anchor Associates.

To Whom it May Concern,
I''ve just recently had the pleasure of working with Scott Schiller in
finding my new home here in Manhattan. Despite my coming to him with a
demanding set of requirements and criteria (no fee, new building, pet
friendly, doorman/elevator building, and a cheap price), Scott had me
signed and moved into my dream apartment inside of 10 days. I have worked
with all the usual suspects in the Manhattan real estate market, and out of
all of them, Scott was the best. I would fully recommend him to any
individual looking for an apartment for his knowledgeable, friendly and
professional service, his lengthy experience, and his excellent portfolio.
Kind Regards,

Scott,
I just wanted to thank you for helping my roommates and I find our apartment at Windsor Court. We went through 10 or so brokers before meeting with you, and no other broker was even comparable in terms of quality of service and complete trustworthiness. You only showed us great apartments that fit what we were looking for, and you helped us cut through the industry lingo to make an informed decision. I''ve learned that starting an apartment hunt with any other brokerage service besides Anchor is a waste of time. Take care, and thanks again.
Best,
John |

Scott Schiller was our broker and helped my husband and I find the perfect new home. We had very specific needs as far as, neighborhood, amount of space, large dog, budget etc. and he only showed us places that were real
options. We found the apt. in a few days and moved in in less than 2
weeks.
Scott has a lot of integrity and was up front and honest with us
throughout the process. He helped us get approved, followed up with us while on vacation in Mexico, and even called once we were moved in to make sure we were happy. It was the best broker experience we have ever had in
Manhattan.
We highly recommend Scott to others looking for a new apartment.
