Had such an amazing experience with Josh! Despite my roommate and I being unsure on if we wanted to move, he did everything possible to ensure we made the best decision. Would recommend to anyone looking for a broker and plan to use in the future when itâs the right time to move!

Josh was so helpful and professional. He took his time carefully curating a roster of potential homes for my roommate and I. He was transparent throughout the whole process and genuinely wanted what was best for us. Thank you Josh!!
Josh was fantastic finding the appartment we liked in one of the most impressive areas in Manhattan. The process was fast and since we are not located in the US everything had to be done remotely. Josh showed us as much posible of each apartment as well as the advantages in each one.
Neither my roommate nor I were local to NYC, but Josh made our apartment search so much easier! He scheduled full days worth of tours for the times that we were in town as wl as touring some units on our behalf and sending videos. We ended up with a little hidden gem in the WV and are thrilled!

Josh was a life saver when it came to finding an apartment as a first time mover into Manhattan! Could not have done it without him! Thank you Josh!

Josh was the most amazing agent I have ever met! and I have met quite a few during my many moves in different cities.
He truly listens to what you are looking for, adapts to each request, guides you through the process, and is incredibly patient. I never felt rushed or pushed. On the contrary, I felt very well taken care of.
I am going to hire him when I sell, and I will recommend him to everyone I know. He is a true gem, both as a person and as an agent.
I also never write reviews, so the fact that I am writing this says a lot. I mean every word, 100%.

I worked with Josh Dockter to find the right New York City apartment to purchase and had an amazing experience! Josh was friendly, patient, smart, and ultimately helped me find the home of my dreams. I highly recommend anyone hiring Josh as broker to help find their next home!
Josh was so nice and was the reason we found such a great apartment!
Josh was amazing to work with. He kept my roommates and I informed throughout the entire apartment search process and worked tirelessly to help us find the right place in such a competitive NYC market. I really appreciated his responsiveness, professionalism, and dedication. I highly recommend working with him!
Josh Doc was Attentive, supportive, and an incredible hard working. Got me my dream apartment
Josh did a great job helping us find a place we are so excited about!! He wasn't pushy and always had our best interests in mind. Would highly recommend!
Josh is the best!! He was so helpful and incredibly organized. He helped me find the perfect apartment!! Highly recommend!

Josh was so helpful with my move from DC to NY! I didn't want to come up multiple times to see places so he organized a full single day of viewings (saw over 30 places in one day!!). He was super organized and even helped me apply. Would definitely recommend!
If you are looking for someone to take you on a tour of the top apartments in New York City, Josh is your guy. My friends and I had some trouble figuring out exactly what we were looking for, but Josh was ready for any curveball we threw at him. No matter the circumstances, Josh was able to find a great group of apartments as quickly as possible. Josh has continued looking out for us even after we have moved into our apartment, checking in to make sure the management company is taking care of us. With "The Doc" on your side you will find an apartment you love quickly and easily.
Simply put Doc is awesome. He helped my roommate and I find a great apartment within our budget in a one of the nicest neighborhoods in Manhattan. The whole process took less than a week and could not have been smoother. Doc knows the NYC market like the back of his hand and knows what to look out for as well as what to avoid. He is genuine and professional and comes prepared to every meeting/viewing with the necessary documents for application and an opinion on the value of the apartment based on what he knows his clients want and like. Overall my roommate and I could not have asked for a better agent and look forward to using him again the next around.
Honestly, if you want to make the apartment hunting process as easy as can be, call Doc.
Thanks again Doc!
Josh was very organized and amazing at helping me find an apartment!

I recently relocated from Australia to New York with my wife and daughter. We had temporary accommodation for 2 weeks and had a very small window to find a long term living solution. After meeting with Josh, we felt comfortable that his local New York knowledge would help us find exactly what we want. As soon as we commenced our search, Josh began short listing our non-negotiables. For example, a walkup with a 2 year old was not an option but we had flexibility on location. After an extensive search on day 1, Josh sourced the exact apartment we were looking for on day 2. A week later the lease was signed and we are now fully fledged New Yorkers. I highly recommend using Josh for your rental needs.
Josh has been an amazing person to partner with when looking for a new apartment to rent in NY. I have never met anyone so dedicated to the customer experience and showing genuine care towards the people he connects with. Let me really confirm that my significant other and I are VERY picky when it comes to the apartments we wanted to look at and eventually rent but Josh met our requests always with a positive outlook and professional understanding of the market and locations. 1,000% you must work with Josh in finding your next "Home" whether it's renting or buying. Cheers!
If you're looking to move to NYC, I cannot recommend Josh enough. My wife and I were in the city for a very limited time, and had just 2 days with Josh to find an apartment. Using our preferences in advance, Josh put together a strategy and was able to show us many units which could have worked for us. Shortly after the two days of showings, my wife and I had signed a lease on a new home. It wouldn't have been possible without Josh's hard work, hustle and insight. Call him.
I can’t say enough good things about Josh Dockter! He helped me find my last two apartments in the NYC area, and he’s the best. As a 23-year-old trying to figure out the NYC rental scene, Josh was like a guiding light! He’s super knowledgeable and very patient.
Josh really took the time to understand what I was looking for. He doesn’t just show me random places; he finds apartments that are perfect for me and within my budget. The whole process with him was smooth and stress-free!
Josh is a genuinely nice guy and made the whole apartment hunting experience fun and enjoyable. If you need a broker who truly cares about finding you the right place, Josh is your guy. Thank you, Josh!!
My son will begin his graduate studies at NYU in September and helping him find an appropriate apartment in NYC was very stressful. There were many considerations; budget, location, safety, scams, timing, budget (yes, I said it twice). After speaking with Joshua for the first time I was hopeful. He took the time to explain the process of finding and securing an apartment in detail and immediately followed up with the relevant information via e-mail. When the time came to find an apartment he was readily available and found 3 good options for my son. He spent an afternoon showing us the apartments and discussed the pros and cons in a very transparent and honest manner. He was not pushy and was prepared to continue the search on our behalf if necessary. Well, we picked one, and he help us through the application process. It was a stress free experience. Thanks Joshua!!!
We were in search of an apartment for our daughter in Manhattan, while she attends college. Being a novice to the market in NYC, we didn't know where to start. We were fortunate enough to find Josh. From the first call we had, Josh explained every last detail to educate us and help us make the right decisions. Let's start by saying, we made the RIGHT DECISION in selecting Josh to assist us in this process. He was easy to work with, extremely detail-oriented and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. No matter what time of day I reached out to Josh, he responded. Even on a Sunday afternoon! Who does that now-a-days? Josh, does!! When we arrived in NYC, we were truly impressed to see the level of detail on a two-day itinerary he set-up to view a variety of apartments, and each one met the criteria we had set forth. He listened, researched, and executed!! We would HIGHLY recommend Josh to anyone in search of property in NYC! You will not be disappointed!
We are so fortunate to have discovered Josh! Along with another couple, we had spent the summer months fruitlessly looking for a 2 bedroom apartment in downtown NYC for our sons, both rising college sophomores. At the eleventh hour Josh came on our horizon. A great listener with an incredible knowledge of the rental market in the Village, Josh promptly generated a list of apartments in our price range and desired area. We met with him on a Saturday in late August, saw half a dozen apartments that same day and voila! we just signed a lease a mere 5 days later. Amazing! We are all delighted with the outcome, and it could never have happened without Josh. His expertise, his genuine interest in helping us achieve a happy outcome, and perhaps above all his incredible responsiveness - via email, phone and text - make him the ideal real estate agent. And to top it off, we now consider him a good friend. Thank you, "Doc"!
I had been agonizing for months about my son moving from a dorm to an apartment in Manhattan because of the concept of having to wait until the last few weeks before classes started to even start looking for a place. We tried doing it ourselves - racing up to NYC from south of Philadelphia when a "hot" apartment hit the market - only to lose it to two young professionals. We were at a loss as to how to orchestrate this process from 3 hours away.
With our online search, what I noticed were all the AMAZING reviews for Josh(Doc). I decided to email him with our quandary and within minutes had a reply! In fact, Josh cut to the chase and asked if we could talk on the phone. I couldn't have been more impressed with his responsiveness and understanding of the market and our particular situation. He held a conference call with us going over professional handouts that he emailed to us on the spot - outlining the process, the market specs and the documents needed with two sets of parent guarantors. With the other roommate abroad and her parents in VA, Josh was able to orchestrate everything we needed. By the time we arrived in NYC one week later, he had all our documents ready and waiting for when we found the right apartment.
Josh was well organized, presenting us with a map of the 6-9 apartments within our budget that he had arranged for us to view. We traipsed around the LES and East Village on a hot summer day, climbed multiple flights of stairs to view a wide variety of apartments and Josh never faltered. He was a delight to talk with - he knew the market - he gave his opinion - but he let you make the final decision. When my son made his choice, Josh walked him through the process, working with the other agent to make sure the apartment that had just been listed that day was officially off the market.
When we signed the lease the next day, Josh and the other agent where so helpful walking my son through the details. I felt like we couldn't have been in better hands for what could have been an extremely stressful experience. He even helped my son take measurements of the apartment and went back the next day to get one important one we forget! We will definitely be looking him up again if my son ever decides to move!
If you have any reservations about working with a broker to locate a NYC apartment just have a conversation with "Doc". He will take the pressure off and give you confidence that he can help. This was the second "go round" for my daughter and she started out trying to go the "no fee" route. She wasn't finding anything decent in her price range and was very stressed out trying to balance apartment hunting with work. I encouraged her to consider going back the broker route. She reached out to several brokers and received a call back the same day from "Doc". He really listened to her to understand what she was looking for. She signed a contract the next day (very reasonable, protects both parties). Every agent has access to the entire market (regardless of who's exclusive it is) and "Doc" scheduled multiple showings together instead of my daughter bouncing around from one broker to another and wasting time. They looked at a number of very nice properties that met her needs based on his intimate knowledge of the market. In about a week she is signing a lease on a place she is very happy with in her price range. What a relief! I'm sure there are other good brokers out there, but if you are looking for someone who will listen to you and take personal care to help you through this stressful process you can't go wrong with "Doc".
Have to say it from the start: couldn't have done it without Josh. After spending many weeks trying to tackle my our NYC apartment hunt while not actually being in the city (a daunting task with many dead ends), my mother, roommate, and I decided to enlist the help of a broker, and Josh came to save the day.
Accessible, knowledgable, and tactful, Josh was a perfect guide through the Manhattan market. While doing much of his own thorough research, he consistently remained attentive to our needs and questions when trying to find an affordable 2-bedroom apartment for two college students downtown - a task we had much difficulty with on our own. However, Josh took to the task enthusiastically and prepared a packed itinerary of quality viewings in the East Village and LES. Throughout the process, he carefully listened to our thoughts, found answers to all of our questions, and remained honest when presenting any advice.
After a day of working with Josh (compared with previous weeks spent pouring over online rental sites), we had found a fantastic, sizable apartment at the lower end of our budget that was both unique and in a great section of the LES. It was a rapid few hours and what, at first, felt like a decision made too quickly, but Josh consciously navigated us through each step so that in the end all parties were confident, content, and excited about the outcome.
I am thoroughly pleased with having had Josh as our broker and guide through the NYC market, and will certainly recommend him in the future to anyone having trouble finding their "perfect" place in the city. He knows what he's doing and will find you what you're looking for, with the added bonus of a positive attitude and upbeat personality!
I've lived in 5 different Manhattan apartments and I can say with confidence that Joshua is hands-down the best real estate agent I've worked with. While other brokers make YOU do all the work of finding an apartment, then just open the door for you and charge you 15% of your annual rent, Joshua actually works FOR you (and makes the apartment search enjoyable, or as enjoyable as it possibly can be in Manhattan).
Extremely professional in his approach, Joshua first met to confirm our must haves, wants, and budget. Following that initial meeting, Joshua organized an incredibly efficient 6-hour tour of apartments that fit our exact bill. We had an application in that same evening and an apartment the following day. Seriously.
I cannot recommend Joshua more highly. And, while I'm dishing out recommendations, my recommendation for his future clients is to just be super clear about what you are looking for so that Joshua can work his magic like he did for us.
I moved to NYC about a month ago for the first time from Los Angeles and Josh was a LIFE SAVER with the process. I knew nothing about where I wanted to live in Manhattan or what the process entailed at all, and Josh made everything very simple. We spoke a few times before I got to the city to start my search and through talking with him, I was able to pinpoint exactly what neighborhoods I liked, what was important to me in an apartment and every other detail I would have never thought of myself.
Once we started the search, Josh was great at asking all the right questions to leasing agents and was always pleasant and patient. I ended up going with the first apartment I looked at!
I will recommend Josh to anyone who asks me for a broker recommendation - he was the absolute best!
Although I ended up renting an apartment outside of manhattan, Josh really went the extra mile looking for amazing apartments for me. If someone wants to rent an apartment in Manhattan, Josh is the guy to go to. I would highly recommend him!
I can't recommend Joshua enough.
I did a lousy job at describing what I was looking for, and he patiently took me for a day of seeing several places. After that one time he figured out what my priorities were and the next day he had the place for me.
Went to see it and closed.
He's extremely responsive both on the phone and email, and really helps you through the process.
Would definitely call again for my next move.
Josh was incredible to work with. His methodology really stands out because he takes the time to truly listen and understand what youâre looking for, then plans an efficient, focused search (we saw 31 apartments in one 10-hour day!) so you can confidently find the right fit. I felt completely heard and understood, and he showed me places I never would have considered on my own that ended up being great options. Once I chose an apartment, everything moved quickly and smoothly - within a week, all the paperwork was signed. On top of that, heâs just a pleasure to work with. Iâd recommend him to anyone, and while I hope Iâm not moving again anytime soon, if I do, Iâll absolutely work with him again!

It was a pleasure working with Josh and I would describe his process as efficient and resourceful. After communicating the features I am looking for, he was able to generate a list of over 25 available units for viewing. After categorizing my interest, he was able to create 2 days of viewing, where he took care of scheduling, organizing and pathing. After only two days of viewing, I was able to find multiple locations of interest and once I was ready to make an offer, he had a list of resources and contacts to help me through the closing process. Josh was very communicative and available when needed and simply pleasant to interact with. At the end of the day, Josh was able to help me find a place that checked my core boxes, which wasn't easy - many would describe this deal to be a rarity. However, Doc Knows real estate and Josh was able to help me find a home I am incredibly excited about!
Josh Dockter was an absolute dream. From our very first conversation, he brought an unmatched level of professionalism, warmth, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Josh talked me through every step of the way. He truly goes above and beyond and was genuinely invested in finding the perfect home for me and my roommate. What stood out the most was his communication. Josh was always quick to respond, call with any questions, patiently awaited my responses, and proactively kept me informed at every step. He thoroughly delegated all communication between myself and potential landlords. He made a process that can easily feel overwhelming feel as seamless as possible. He found 13 apartments for us to view, ensuring I had a myriad of options to find the right home. His negotiation skills were sharp and his honesty made me trust him completely. Most importantly he prioritized transparency so I was will informed of any potential challenges along the way. I felt like I had not just a realtor, but a true advocate on my side. If you want someone who works hard, listens deeply, tries to accommodate all of your needs and requests, and treats you like a priority, Josh is the one you can trust. I couldnât recommend him enough

Just found an amazing apartment in our ideal location and price with Joshua! My roommate and I were having a lot of trouble finding a new place before working with Joshua it was a nightmare. Then a friend recommended Joshua to us saying he would be able to find us EXACTLY what we wanted. So we gave him a call. We went through our search criteria with him before seeing any apartments. Then the very next morning he sent me and my roommate a detailed listing of apartments that fit our criteria and let us decide which ones we wanted to see. Hence not wasting anytime showing us any apartments that would not work for us. My roommate and I had a tight budget and were set on things our apartment must have, which we knew would be challenging to find in NYC. Joshua was very patient with us and found us the perfect place that fit our budget and met ALL our requirements. I can not say enough to express how great it was to work with Joshua. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and co workers looking to to move.

I highly recommend Joshua to anyone!
We are glad we called his services to look for an apartment. Joshua has been fully dedicated to work on our specific case (as we moved from France to NYC with our son, no credit score, no guarantor, we had to find an apartment in a very short period of time).
He had been patient, had taken time to build a true relationship and provided us with a clear strategy adapted to our situation. He had meticulously prepared our meetings. We visited a dozen of apartments in 2 days, we applied to the one that fits our expectations on day 2 and we finally got it! Joshua did an excellent job. We could not be more happy! And above all, Joshua shows us true, genuine empathy. Thanks Joshua!
Josh was a fantastic buyer's agent! He carefully and accurately gauged our parameters for a new apartment, found places for us to view that aligned with those parameters, and then smoothly guided us through the search, offer, and purchase process, making the whole experience largely painless. Plus, he is a pleasure to work with - warm, thoughtful, lots of positive energy, and very professional. Highly recommended!

Josh was the best realtor. We met him by chance when visiting an apartment (he was assigned to us). How lucky were we to have met him! He's honest, straightforward, and very flexible. He explained how NYC real estate market works so that we understood what buying an apartment would entail. He looked after our interests and gave spot-on advice. Thanks to him, we were able to meet our deadline and most of our requirements. Thank you, Josh!

Josh was great! He was super knowledgeable and helped us in our search for our first NY apartment. He helped us through every step of the process- from familiarizing ourselves with the neighborhoods to making sure our application went smoothly and was accepted. He was great at finding outstanding places within our really specific parameters and I couldn't recommend him more! All in all, our search for an apartment with a July 1st start date (which is nearly impossible) took two days total and ended up feeling effortless with his assistance. I've already referred multiple friends to his services and would absolutely hire Josh again!
Had the best experience with Josh! He was so friendly and accommodating and managed to find me a new apartment that I really like in one day! He made the process surprisingly fun and I canât imagine trying to do it on my own.
Would happily recommend him to anyone :)

I worked with Josh Dockter this month to find my new place, and he was terrific. Super professional, very thorough, gave us all the guidance we needed to navigate the NYC rental market. In the end we found a place weâre super happy with at a price comfortably in budget.
Josh joined us for every unit tour, documented everything for us, and made sure we had all of the info we needed to make comparisons and decide.
Heâs also super pleasant to work with. Canât recommend him enough.
I had a great experience working with Josh. He made the process super easy - lining up all the showings, coordinating applications, etc. He was also very patient answering all my questions as a first time renter in NYC. Highly recommend!
Josh helped me move into the city from outside the state. I had a tight two day window to look at properties and wee toured 20+ spots. When I landed on my favorite, Josh made sure that I got it. He stayed in constant contact with me and the management company, even helped to fill out my application while I was standing in the security line at the airport.
Josh will absolutely do what it takes to make his clients happy and I can't recommend him enough!

Working with Josh was easy, fun, and very efficient. Josh fully understood what we were looking for and showed us some amazing and well priced apartments. He packed an entire day full of apartment showings and even somehow managed to squeeze in a mini food tour of the various neighborhoods. In the end, he helped us navigate the application process and liaised with the management company to get our lease signed and move in date finalized. Iâll definitely be texting him when I need another apartment!

Josh was super helpful when we were looking for apartments. My roommate and I were both living out of state and busy at work but Josh made the whole process easy and set up all our tours for us and guided us around the city to them all. We found a dream apartment on the first day of touring. Josh even sat with us the next day in the office to help us apply for the apartment and answered all our questions. I would definitely work with Josh again!!

Josh was great, he listened to us, provided guidance through the whole process and made securing an apartment as an expat as simple as it could be.

His dedication, knowledge and energy was truly impressive, and he made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. Highly recommend Josh for anyone looking for a new place!

He patiently showed us various options, negotiated effectively on our behalf, and displayed a genuine care for our satisfaction. Josh made the entire process smooth and successful, and we highly recommend this service.
Just wrapped up an incredible apartment search with Josh where he quickly identified my needs and efficiently showed me a diverse set of great options to choose from. Josh was organized, easy to work with, and also just a great guy to have a conversation with. An easy recommend for anyone looking for an agent to help them with their search!

Josh was amazing! He found us exactly what we were looking for and provided a lot of guidance along the way. He helped us manage an extensive application process that ultimately landed us a perfect apartment. Not only did he find and show us apartments, but he was excellent in providing advice around what to look for, other neighborhoods to explore, and how to get the most out of this process.
Thank you so much, Josh!

Doc was incredible in helping us move across the country on short notice. He went out of his way multiple times to send us videos, pictures, arrange our paperwork, payments at all hours of the day. We had a long list of requirements and a dog, and we were able to lock down a place within 2 weeks.
Josh was attentive and helpful from square 1, making sure he understood what kind of place I was looking for and helping me understand how that aligned with what was available on the market. After a long day of seeing places that didnât work out, he went back to the drawing board that same night to line up showings for the next day, when we found my New York dream apartment. He also doubles as a psychologist when the going gets tough ;-) 100% recommend!

Josh was very communicative and patient with us - we never felt like he was trying to push us towards an apartment that we didn't absolutely love.I would recommend Josh to anyone looking for a new place in NYC. Thank you, Josh!

I'm really happy I chose to work with Josh. I heard great things about Josh through a friend and decided to reach out prior to our move. Honestly, I have never had such a great experience. He just *listens* to you! I gave him my price range, interests, and tastes, and the apartments we saw, and the one we eventually applied for, clearly showed that he is most interested in making his clients happy.

Josh was so helpful. He made the post-grad move as seamless as it could be.

Doc is AMAZING, truly amazing. We were first time NYC residents moving from across the country... within 2 weeks... with a large dog (!). Doc calmed all anxiety we had about finding an apartment and showed us 8 options within 48 hours of first contact with him. The hardest part was choosing because they were all precisely what we were looking for. We truly could not have made this move without him, and couldn't recommend him more!

Doc was great. He is very professional, organized, and truly works in his client's best interest. He's not one of those brokers who just cares about getting a fee. He takes the time to understand your wants and needs, and doesn't waste your time by showing you properties that don't match your criteria. He goes above and beyond-- taking pictures and videos of each unit that he sees with you, and he even takes dimensions of all the rooms-- all so you don't have to. His attention to detail is impeccable. You will be in very capable hands!
Doc was excellent! Knowledgeable about the NYC market (specifically, Manhattan), understanding, and extremely helpful. He listened to my concerns and expectations and executed them beautifully. I signed a lease and had keys to my apartment within 3 days of viewing the apartment. Getting an apartment in the fast-paced and dizzying NYC market is no easy task, but Doc was willing to put in the work with me and we quickly found a beautiful apartment within my budget.
We recently worked with Doc to find an apartment in East Village. All the apartments he showed us had everything we were looking for. He was a great agent to have. I would recommend him to anyone!
Doc was so awesome helping us! He was very responsive and great to work with! Would recommend to anyone!!
Doc was very knowledgeable of the market and attentive to my needs. I appreciated his transparency with the process and he lived up to his promises and then some. He was able to supply me with a dozen apartments to pick from in under 3 days... 10/10 would apartment hunt with him again.
Doc an unbelievable! He was recommended to us from various people. He made our apartment search easy and really enjoyable! He was so knowledgeable on New York City and really listned to our apartment needs. He helped us find the perfect apartment for us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment!
Doc was a huge help navigating the confusing apartment hunting process in NYC. He listened to our needs and was able to show us apartments that fit our criteria. Would definitely recommend!!!
Doc was an excellent partner for our apartment search. He patiently answered our questions and took our concerns seriously. He helped us secure an apartment within our budget and in the timeline we put forth.
Doc made our apartment search so easy. He listened to exactly what we wanted and modified our search list based on our changing criteria. He was so accommodating and understanding and made a stressful process so much better!
Doc could not have been more helpful in searching for an apartment. He met with my roommate and I in the evening after we had both gotten off of work and sat down for an hour with us to figure out exactly what we were looking for in a NYC apartment. He set realistic expectations on his end for what we could find for our budget/needs and was never dishonest with us. On the viewing day, he took us around Manhattan to view 13-15 apartments that exactly met our criteria. We ended up with an amazing apartment, in an amazing location, within our budget. I highly recommend using Doc for your apartment search- he will not disappoint.
Doc was on top of it, and found me an apartment on my first day looking with him. I had a feeling I was going to be in good hands, and I was. I recommend him highly.
We found our new apartment in a single afternoon because Doc asked the right questions before we began our search and kept to the budget we'd laid out for him. Not only are we happy with the final apartment, but we could not have asked for more in terms of service along the way. Highly recommended from a 7-year vet of the rental market in NYC!
I did not end up renting an apartment through Josh (or Doc). My situation was very unique. A childhood friend of mine lives in NY and offered me his apartment after day one into my search with Josh. It was a deal I could not refuse. However, as soon as I found this information out, I immediately communicated with Josh my circumstances. While someone else would have turned around and said "I'll move on to my next customer," he was extremely professional and continued to show me apartments throughout the rest of the day. This he did with a smile and positive attitude, even though there was a high probability I would not choose one of the units he showed me. Had it not been for my friend offering me his place, I guarantee you that I would have signed into one of the apartments he showed me, as they all met all the criteria I asked for. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of an apartment in the City. If the opportunity arises again, I would reach out to Josh without hesitation!
Doc is not only a best-in-class agent, he is also a genuine person. He met me late after work one night and we reviewed all of my documents and walked me through a well-thought out checklist of requirements, needs, and wants for my new apartment. Being a Villages expert, Doc was able to provide me with market data corresponding to different neighborhoods and types of units. He spent a ton of time on my search and treated me with utmost respect, something that 99% of agents do not do. If you're looking for a Villages expert, and a great person, do not hesitate to contact Doc. I promise he will provide you with an unexpected, high-quality experience. Although I did not end up renting through Doc, as I had previously viewed a different unit, I would 100%, without a doubt, have rented with Doc. I would recommend Doc to anyone looking for a new apartment!
Joshua was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive in my NYC apartment search. He is a hardworking and professional individual. He is extremely thorough throughout the whole process apartment search to ensure the best outcome for his clients. He made sure I was educated in the NYC rental market. I had a great selection of apartments to choose from that all fit my criteria. Joshua was patient and determined in finding an apartment to suit the needs of myself and my roommate. I would recommend Joshua to anyone looking for their perfect apartment in NYC.
Doc was so helpful as my sister and I were searching for an apartment! We were totally clueless and he was super patient with us, always prompt in his replies, and overall a pleasure to work with!
We were having a hard time finding an apartment on our own. Josh was super helpful and we were able to find a place in one day!
Doc is the best! My sister and I were totally lost without him. He did a wonderful job of setting up the entire apartment-hunting process for my family and me. He was always available if I had questions and I am very grateful!
Josh was the most attentive broker I have ever dealt with. He throughly discusses what you prefer and don't prefer to understand your needs. His organization and structured process are second to none. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend him.
Josh helped three young ladies looking for their first apartment out of college navigate a complex real estate market. They landed a great apartment and got all the paperwork done,even though they were in different locales. Thank you for taking the stress out of a complex situation and guiding them to a good outcome.
My roommates and I were having such a hard time finding an apartment by ourselves. From the moment we got in contact with Josh we knew we were in good hands and the process would be a breeze. He sat down with us and took the chance to get to know our wants/needs and the best area for my roommates and I to move to in terms of commuting to work. Josh could not have made the process any easier and was very fast at responding. I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for an apartment.
Josh was AMAZING. This was the first time my roommates and I have apartment hunted in NYC and we wouldn't have been able to do it without him. He found us the perfect apartment in the perfect location and we are so happy with our place. I would highly recommend Josh.
Doc is a great broker! Very transparent and trustworthy. Even after signing lease he has been very helpful with our questions. Would recommend to anyone.
I was completely pleased and totally satisfied with the experience of having Josh find my son and roommate a NYC apartment. He was patient, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, with a no pressure approach that made us relax and appreciate his honest advice. He made us feel he had our best interests at heart, and showed us listings that were within our renting parameters, i.e. our time was well spent. I would highly recommend Josh Dockter as your next agent in the NYC rental market!! You will not be disappointed.
Josh was great! He quickly organized showings for the right properties for us, allowing us to zero in and find the right place immediately. He advised us of the ins and outs of renting and leases that made the process understandable and straightforward with not surprises. Highly recommending Josh!
From my first phone conversation with Josh, I knew that he would be business-like and on top of things. He explained everything in detail, told us what we needed to do, carried on pleasant conversations with our son, and guided us knowledgeably through every step of the process. In one day, we saw several apartments and found one with which we are very happy! Less than a week later, we have signed the lease! Thanks, Josh!
My roommate and I go to NYU and we've been looking for an apartment for months. We finally had to bite the bullet and get a broker but it was the best decision we made because we got Doc. Our search was very unique as we needed a 2 bed/2 bath in the East Village which is very rare especially for our price range. But who ya gonna call? Josh Dockter! He was extremely professional and always responsive. We found a wonderful apartment in a great neighborhood in our price range in a matter of days despite all the odds against us. If you want a very friendly, loyal and honest broker Doc is definitely your guy!
After using several brokers to find apartments unsuccessfully, my roommate and I met with Joshua with a pretty strict and short timeline. He was incredibly efficient and spent about an hour listening and understanding our needs for an apartment in New York. He found my current apartment 2 days after we had first met and I love it- thanks again for being so helpful!
Josh was incredibly helpful. Very thorough, very easy to contact. Excellent communication. Signed with him and then saw the place we wound up renting the next day. Overall great guy!
Joshua (Doc) Dockter is amazing! He is extremely detailed and organized. He listens to all your needs before showing you endless great options that surpass your expectations. I highly recommend him and he is certainly one of the best brokers in NY!
Josh did a great job with trying to help us find our apartment. He was thorough, took the time to explain how the market works, and was very quick to adapt to our changing wants/needs. I definitely recommend him, especially if you're working with a short timeframe.
Doc was great! High customer service and he delivered. He helped us find an apartment for our daughter and her friend who is an NYU student. Very responsive and professional!
After spending a little over a week looking for apartments and having no luck, my roommate and I decided to find a broker. Based on his reviews, Doc was the obvious choice and he lived up to everything people have said about him! Doc did such thorough research and listened to our wants/needs so precisely that we found our apartment after just 2 showings. Doc made the whole process seamless and we were able to get approved for the apartment and sign the lease in just days. I highly recommend working with Doc and I know I will reach out to him next time I am looking to move!
Josh is an amazing Realtor. Trust his system. After strategizing with me for about an hour he gathered all my information and in less than a day found the ideal apartment for me that was within my budget. I highly recommend him to help you find your next home.
We loved working with Josh. Super helpful & informative about the whole NYC moving experience!
Joshua was incredible in providing us with key insight through the process. We were new to the market and ended up not needing a place, but he helped us every step of the way and knows the NYC market like the back of his hand.
Outstanding realtor and person. He was an immense help with a search of property in New York. I would recommend him for your future rental or real estate purchase needs. He is a great guy and will get you the best deal possible.
For anyone looking to have an easy, pleasant, and relaxed experience looking to find the perfect home, look no further than the Doc. He invited us in to his office during a very stressful time (Summer apartment hunting in NYC) and made sure to listen to our needs, give us the breakdown of the housing market, and helped us see many places and ultimately finding the perfect place.Give the Doc a shot to cure your housing woes!
Josh was so incredibly helpful in helping me find an apartment. Coming from Los Angeles, and having 2 days in the city to find a place and sign a lease, left us with not much time, but he executed! He showed me 10 apartments in the areas I was interested in, and also gave a mini tour along the way! Would absolutely recommend him.
The reason I decided to work with Josh in the first place was because he took the time to give me a call instead of send an email as most other brokers do. I'm so glad we made the decision to work together. As a first time apartment renter, I was nervous about all of the steps and potentially being taken advantage of. Josh was so patient and walked us through every step. He put up with our paperwork confusion and talked to other agents and landlords on our behalf, making the process painless and safe. He found us an incredible, well-priced apartment with everything we wanted. We will definitely be giving him a call again when we decide to move to our next place. Thank you Josh!!!
Josh took some time to really understand our needs and motivations. He's hard-working and dedicated to finding something that works for you!
Josh was very good to work with and I would recommend him any day of week. We really appreciated his straight forwardness especially since we were coming in from out of town. He was organized and prepared when we arrived. He made us feel very secure during the process. He is very professional and very honest. It's good to know that Josh also has a sense of humor - we also had a good time in the process.
Josh is a very hard-working, professional, and friendly agent. He answered my initial inquiry right away, and we talked on the phone about the specific criteria that I was looking for in an apartment. I found my apartment the first day that we met up! Josh is patient and thorough - he will make sure that all your questions are answered and he's very straight forward. I asked him all kinds of questions, and he didn't make me feel like my questions were trivial or unimportant. He's an agent who will go above and beyond for you and do all the research and work to make sure that you feel comfortable and happy with your search. I would definitely recommend working with him! (:
Joshua was a pleasure to work with and very helpful in finding my apartment in Chelsea! After dealing with other agents, I was about to give up but once I contacted him on a listing he immediately responded. He was organized and thorough with the questions he asked about my move. Thank you for your help and next time I move I'll be in touch!
Josh was great at finding us an apartment. He helped us develop a plan to look at several locations and asked all the right questions the right way to get a better sense of what we were looking for. Josh was extremely patient and understanding when showing us many options in and around our budget. He didn't hesitate to show us multiple places in around the tristate area. We had a excellent experience while looking for an apartment with Josh. I recommend him to others looking for a new place.
Joshua was fantastic, hardworking and very helpful in finding my apartment in Queens, Long Island City. He was organised and thorough with the questions he asked about my move and my preferences regarding apartment research. Thank you for your help again, I will recommend your outstanding services around me!

If you are looking for someone to take you on a tour of the top apartments in New York City, Josh is your guy. My friends and I had some trouble figuring out exactly what we were looking for, but Josh was ready for any curveball we threw at him. No matter the circumstances, Josh was able to find a great group of apartments as quickly as possible. Josh has continued looking out for us even after we have moved into our apartment, checking in to make sure the management company is taking care of us. With "The Doc" on your side you will find an apartment you love quickly and easily.

They call him "The Doc" for a reason. Josh is a true specialist when it comes to finding you the best apartments in Manhattan. Josh is hard working, honest, and diligent, and will fight tooth and nail to get you the best deal in the city.
Josh was absolutely amazing! He was able to find me the perfect apartment in the area and price range that I wanted and he did it in record time. He was also lovely to deal with (courteous, helpful and honest). I truly can't say enough good things about him. This was the most stress free lease I have ever signed and I will be working with him again in the future for sure.
I would recommend Josh to whomever is looking for an apartment in the city. He was able to show my roommates and I around 10 apartments, and even signed the lease on the one we liked all in about 2 and a half hours. I have never had such an easy, enjoyable experience apartment hunting.
While I certainly challenged Joshua with a small budget, a short time frame, and big expectations for my first apartment in NYC, he showed me a number of fantastic apartments with hardly any time to prepare for my appointment. Throughout the entirety of the appointment, Joshua continued to research additional listings to show me, truly going the extra mile. I very highly recommend Joshua for anyone preparing for an NYC apartment search!
