Tony is amazing and a pleasure to work with. Many times, realtors show you properties that don't match your criteria, because they care more about selling you anything than finding something that is best for you. This is not the case with Tony and the reason why he is one of the best in the area.
My boyfriend and I needed an apartment ASAP(I.e. that same day!) I must have seen maybe 15 apts with 8 different brokers none of whom actually gave me the perfect service as TONY did. Anyone in search of a great apartment at any time should definitely contact Tony. He will help find whatever you need whenever you need it by. Thanks Tony!
My roommate and I hired Tony on very short notice. We had a clear deadline to meet and Tony helped us achieve that. Not only did he do it professionally, he also found places that matched our criteria exactly. The other four realtors i had gone to before were more worried about getting themselves the bigger bucks. Tony was genuinely worried about getting us into an apartment that met our standards and criteria by our deadline. He spent hours upon hours a day working with me and running all over the city on the prowl. He was courteous, professional, helpful, available, and most of all he was very friendly. I felt like I had known/been working with him for years. Tony is a great guy and a great agent who will do everything to the best of his ability to make his clients happy and make the process very smooth and easy! I could not ask for someone better to find me a place to live.
Thanks Tony!!!!
Tony is a reliable and trustworthy broker. I highly recommend Tony.
Tony was extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He rewrote any previous notions I had about real estate agents. Not only was he dedicated to finding us an apartment, but he was dedicated to finding us an apartment that we liked. The amount of time and care that Tony put into his selection of apartments that we viewed was impressive. I will not hesitate to recomend him to family and friends!
NYC rental search is a dreaded experience that I've tried to avoid as much as possible...and brokers are among the worst peoples in NYC. When I called Tony on his cell, I was bracing for the worst. To my surprise, he was articulate, polite, and professional and promptly followed up the next day. During the initial intake, he listened to my needs -- I was looking for a clean, well thought-out layout in a good building, and I had a price range... reader, a full disclosure: I might have spazzed out on him at one time and have demanded to see lot of properties throughout NYC. He listened and instead of being curt with me, he proposed that we take one neighborhood at a time. We chose a time to meet to explore couple of units on the UES.
Tony was there at the appointed time, and was pleasant and easy going. We then spent about 3 hours (I got a lot of cardio!) looking at one fabulous place after another. He was completely efficient with our time together and we saw a lot of high quality properties. He gave me enough space and time to explore each apartments. I felt that he knew exactly what I was looking for. He listened to me. Tony completely blew me away with his detailed, thoughtfully made listing and he made the unpleasant experience of finding a new home into a productive, insightful afternoon. I am lucky to have found a place.
I am in the healthcare industry and part of my job is to get a good read on people. Tony made a great impression -- he is relaxed, thoughtful, and trustworthy. I did not have any doubts about his integrity and I feel that my interests are his top concern. He will definitely be my go-to guy for all my real estate needs in NYC...
Tony Lee is a real gem and I am grateful to him for all of his hard work.
I am happy to answer any related questions regarding him.

I had the pleasure of working with Tony for about 3 weeks while in the process of finding a new home. I really felt that Tony listened my concerns and housing needs and he continued to search for the best possible match. He was extremely responsive (within the hour any day of the week) and punctual, and took a personal interest in making sure my housing needs were met and was concerned about things like safety and building quality. He never tried to talk me into anything that wasn't a good match for me. Tony was not only helpful and informative throughout the whole process, he worked tirelessly to make sure we found the perfect apartment at the perfect price in the perfect location. I've never had a realtor go above and beyond like Tony has and I'm so glad I was able to work with him! I cannot recommend him enough!
