I am student in NYU and while I have friends that live in the Financial District, I never considered living there but changed my mind when I got in touch with Danny. Danny was very helpful in explaining the benefits of living in FiDi and also was able to put together the best deals for me. It is clear he knows his way around as almost everyone in the neighborhood seems to know him.
While I decided to extend my current lease by a few months, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Danny for any real estate needs in the future.
Dan the man. Don't know what I would have done without this guy.
Danny showed me and my roommates a few apartments up and down the east side and didn't waste our time. We were presented with a few solid options, given some advice, and decided to go with the first we saw.
Dan took my fiancee and I to see 1 bedroom apartments last week and we just signed a lease on our new place! He was extremely helpful, kept our best interests at heart, and worked hard to get us a great deal. Highly recommended!
DANNY BOYY!!! AY!!
LOL!
;)
Though I did not enjoy paying the brokers fee, Danny did a great job.
Before meeting him, I met with a lot of shady brokers. They did things like ask for a deposit before me even seeing the apartment, signing contracts to only work with them, and even have me pay them a small fee BEFORE EVEN RENTING AN APARTMENT!!! (Yes, I'm still mad about that).
I gave Danny very specific parameters for what I was looking for, and all of the apartments I was shown were within those parameters. I did not feel pressured to choose something that I did not initially want. Ultimately, I found a great place. Danny was also very helpful in guiding me through the process of applying to the landlord.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research before just sending out messages to everybody like I did.
Overall, I was very pleased working with Danny.
At first, I was a bit surprised because he doesn't have a very upbeat personality like most realtors I've met. In fact, he's pretty laid back. However, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing because I could tell he actually takes his time to listen and make the right decisions when it comes to showing apartments we actually wanted to see.
We looked at 3 places and were in the last one by the weekend. Go to Danny for a stress-free, professional apartment hunting process.

This review is for Danny Won, who happens to be awesome. I was starting to lose hope in my apartment search until I went to Platinum Properties! Not only was the receptionist extremely friendly and pleasant, but then Danny took me around to several beautiful units in FiDi, which actually looked like the photos I've seen and actually met my requirements. Plus he knew everything about everything. But what makes Danny unique is that he's not a typical salesperson. He's professional, and at the same time easy to contact via phone/text/email. He also didn't have to sell or convince me on anything, because he listened to our needs and only took me to places that met them. He followed up, but didn't pressure my roommates or me. He's just genuine, extremely personable, funny and relaxed, and made a stressful thing actually a ton of fun. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a place in NYC :-)
Don't waste your time with anyone else.
so i really didnt want to spend more than a day on this apartment search as i heard how difficult it can be in new york.
luckily danny showed us a few great apartments and it was ours before the end of the weekend.
would recommend this guy
This review is for Danny Won of Platinum Properties.
Danny was very helpful during my apartment search. He really listened to what I wanted and did a great job of finding me an apartment that fit within my budget. My biggest surprise during the whole process was learning of Danny's age and time in the business - though he is of the "Millenial" generation, his work ethic surpasses that of anyone I've met and he carries himself in a way that most twice his age do not. I foresee Danny becoming a top agent in this city because he is very knowledgeable, listens well, eager to learn and really goes all in for his clients!
HEY danny!! :-)
Me and my girlfriend didn't end up going through Danny for an apartment since one of us ended up taking a job elsewhere instead of NYC..
BUT danny was SUPER helpful from the first call we had together- he wasn't overly pushy like every other broker I talked to and I acutally felt like I could trust him! nothing like the typical horror stories I hear from my friends that already live in the city.
Even though I'll be hours away in cold Boston I will definitely keep Danny in mind if I ever find myself in NYC!
Danny was absolutely amazinggg to work with! Its clear he actually cared about finding the perfect home for us. From the second my roommate and I met him, to the 10th apartment we saw hours later, he was patient and extremely helpful. Danny knows the ins and outs of living in FiDi, and I've already recommended him to friends looking for an apartment!
