Edwin was super helpful when finding an apartment in short notice. He went above and beyond to make things work. Even after moving in he has been unbelievably helpful with any questions I have had. He made this process very easy.
Edwin was recommended to me by my landlord when I had 45 days to move out and find a new place. He was incredibly helpful, well connected and turned what was a very stressful situation into an easy one. He is very kind, professional and on-time. He even helped me by having someone he knows help me with the move. I can not recommend Edwin's services enough, if you are looking for a place in New York City or surrounding neighborhood, you should call him.
Edwin was very helpful in facilitating moving towards renting the apartment. He followed up with the landlord on the concerns/:"To Do list": I had and "brokered" the final exchange of checks, keys and lease. He followed up on both sides until it was done, had the landlord's contact info, and even the keys thems
Working with Edwin was a breeze from start to finish. He was prompt in responding to my initial inquiries about the apartment, and at the open house, he was right on time and ready to answer any questions I had. Throughout the process, he displayed patience and professionalism, taking the time to thoroughly address all my concerns. When it came time to finalize the lease, his timely and detailed responses gave me the confidence to proceed. Edwin's courteous demeanor and extensive knowledge of the area made the experience enjoyable, and I'm grateful for his assistance.
Edwin was very patient and communicative throughout the process. He helped show me an apartment while even also ask a question that I forgot to ask to the tenant at that time. He and his partner Peter both helped me secure the apartment I want in less than 2 days :)
Edwin is INCREDIBLE. I honestly do not have a better word to describe him. He went above & beyond for me every step of the way. I moved from Sacramento, CA to Brooklyn, NY & had 1 month to figure it out & I am so grateful that I was able to find Edwin & work with him. I have recommended him to people in my circle already. He is absolutely wonderful & he made me feel like everything would be ok no matter what I needed or what time limits we were presented with.
Edwin helped me find the best apartment I've ever lived in in NYC. He's super, super responsive and a very clear communicator (doesn't leave anything vague or open to interpretation) and also a rare gem of a broker who seems to really care and whom you feel like you can actually trust. I was in a situation where I needed to sign the lease for an apartment ASAP but he went out of his way to do everything properly and make sure I saw the place, answered all questions, connected me to the super of the building, and assure me that the building I was moving into was a good, good building in a great, great part of the neighborhood (he has extended family who lives around the corner.) And it was!! Thank you for making a usually hellish process so smooth and so personable, Edwin!
Edwin went above and beyond to help me sign the lease on a once in a lifetime, rent controlled apartment, including negotiating the lease on my behalf! Thanks for all the help!
Edwin is efficient, informative, and provided a painless application process.
My easiest move to date.
Edwin helped me find the perfect apartment in the area I wanted to be in. He made sure I negotiated the best price possible for the area. He was even helpful in giving me area information to make my transition smoother. I highly recommend Edwin Ega.
Edwin is super friendly and extremely professional. He works quickly and efficiently and is always promptly responsive. His ability to keep me updated and Lee the ball rolling even while he was sick in the hospital for a week is a true testament to his excellent communication skills. I moved into my new home 4 months ago and I am very happy with the location and affordability.
Edwin was really helpful in my search for an apartment. I went to look at one but it wasn't really for me but he helped me find another apartment that was exactly what I was looking for. Definitely recommend working with him on your search for your spot. 10/10 experience.
It was a pleasure working with Edwin! He was so patient and thorough, I truly love my apartment. Thanks Edwin!
First, I’d like to say thank you to Edwin, who has been very helpful on securing an apartment for my family. In less than a week, we were able to view, review, negotiate and sign a lease. He’s upfront and wouldn’t take advantage of you and even after moving in, he is still there if ever you need help.
Edwin was super responsive and communicative, always letting me know what the next steps would be. Highly recommend working with him!
Edwin was great to work with! During the open house Edwin was very friendly and informative, which helped me make a decision and ease the stress of finding an apartment in NYC. He was extremely responsive and communicative, quickly providing answers to all of my questions. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and was very accommodating, making it easy to get all paperwork and payments submitted without issue.
Edwin went above and beyond to answer all my questions and act as liaison between me and the landlord.
Edwin is truly the kindest, most reliable, and generous professional I have ever worked in my many years of renting. He was extremely communicative and responsive throughout our process, and was incredibly reassuring when I had questions. He ensured that everything was done fairly and in a way that supported my move. He made my process so easy and helped me secure the apartment of my dreams:m. I cannot recommend him enough. He is phenomenal at his job and an incredibly kind human being. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.
Edwin was an extremely helpful broker! He went above and beyond to make my apartment-renting experience pleasant and successful. I would recommend Edwin to anyone looking for a respectful, honest, and communicative broker.
Responsive, and went above and beyond to help me find a good fit. Thanks Edwin!
Edwin was great to work with, super responsive and straightforward with everything.
Edwin is one of the best and most honest real estate agents you will work with in the greater tri-state area. No games, straight to the point, and reasonable. Thanks to Edwin, I was able to move out of a pretty toxic situation in less than a week and into a STEAL/BARGAIN of an apartment in Staten Island. I couldn’t be more grateful for his services. Thank you!
Edwin was fantastic. He worked to get all questions answered and anything addressed before we committed. Absolutely LOVING our beautiful new home, and being right around the corner from family. Edwin will work to get you the best deal possible and was a true pleasure to work with!
Searching for an apartment in NY is tough and so Edwin is one of those brokers that you hope to work with. Not only was he extremely helpful and responsive during the process but even after everything was done, was still helpful in getting me answers that I needed. My situation was a little complicated in that I was out of town through the process and he worked with my family to help view and complete rental process. Can't recommend Edwin enough -- professional, responsive and overall a good guy. Thanks again, Edwin!
Edwin Ega was incredibly helpful, kind and responsive throughout the process of getting a new apartment. Finding a place has been difficult but from the moment I scheduled with Edwin I felt at ease. He was quick to call me back and answer any questions I had which made the process seamless. I would recommend him to anyone searching! Thank you again.
Mr. Ega really went above and beyond when helping me find an apartment. I was consistently advised of the status of my application and he even went out of his way to submit my things at the leasing office himself. He made the entire process so easy and stress free !
Terrific person to work with. Very helpful.
Wonderful experience. The apartment was exactly as described and met all of my criteria. So grateful to have found this home through Edwin. He was clear and responsive making a stressful process like moving, a seamless one!!
Thank you!!!
Edwin was a great help with securing our apartment. He was communicative and responsive to any questions we had via text. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing an apartment.
Thank you, Edwin!
A very kind person who understood my situation and wanted to help me to the best of his abilities!
Edwin Ega is a trustworthy man, you can trust him with your eyes closed. Makes everything easy and complete. I can say from my experience that no one will be disappointed working with him. Stay alive, big brother, do good to people. Thank you very much for giving me the new address.

Searching for apartments in NYC is always challenging. However, working with Edwin made everything so much easier. He was very professional and maintained constant communication with me. From taking a tour of my current apartment to signing the lease agreement, Edwin was helpful and sincere the entire time. I definitely recommend working with Edwin to make your search easier and more reliable. I am grateful for his time and effort and you will not regret working with him. -Quincy H.
Edwin helped me with getting a great apartment in Brooklyn in Sunset Park, and definitely knows the area quite well. He went the extra mile to help me get the apartment including advising what would be necessary for the application. Overall a great experience!
I just wanna thank Edwin, for being a great man in helping me find this perfect apartment . I couldn’t ask for anything better. He hit everything on my bucket list ,thank you so much I really appreciate your honor.
Edwin was a pleasure to work with. His communication was prompt and clear over email, text and phone. He was responsive to all my questions and always followed up to make sure the process went smoothly. He seems to take his work seriously and has standards for delivering good service. I would recommend him to others looking for a thorough and reliable broker in Brooklyn.
My husband and I worked with Edwin on our apartment search. He was very helpful and definitely worked hard to make the experience seamless. We love the apartment that we found. I recommend working with Edwin on your next search. Thank you so much, Edwin!
Edwin has been incredibly helpful and communicative throughout my entire search and rental experience, even after my lease was signed. He is very reliable and helpful, following up to make sure needs are met and problems are resolved quickly and effectively. I highly recommend!
I found and now live in my new apartment thanks to Edwin Ega. After I had inquired about an apartment which was already in contract at the time of my inquiry, Edwin kindly texted me back with an opportunity to see a couple of other ones. One of them ended up being my new home. He is on point with all of the communication needed to quickly secure an application. It would make a big difference to have Edwin and his team in your corner when looking for a place and I highly recommend him. I hope to stay at my current address for awhile but if I need to move again, I will certainly contact Edwin Ega and would hope to work with him again.
Thank you Edwin!
Edwin is highly professional and works with you from start to finish. He will make an effort to find you the perfect fit. He always responds in a timely fashion if you have any concerns or questions throughout the process. I couldn't recommend Edwin more for help finding an apartment.
Edwin was great to work with. Got me in a new place fast and makes sure to follow up with you throughout the whole process.
If you are looking for the real deal, he is the one
Edwin was a delight to work with! He was well-informed on the property and amicable when showing the apartment. He was always quick to reply, answered any questions that I had and was available to jump in if I had an issue. I felt that I was in good hands and the whole process of renting went very smoothly! Especially in NYC where finding an apartment and signing a lease is typically a nightmare, it was such a relief to work with Edwin and I couldn't be happier with my new place. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone
I recently had to relocate to NY for a new job without much notice. So I messaged Edwin Ega about one of his rentals. He responded really quickly and we set up a showing. I was extremely happy with the location and the cleanliness of the apt. His communication was on point and the other tenants are so Great too! I’d recommend him to anyone.
Edwin was wonderful to work with. He is extremely responsive from signing the lease to move-in day. He has the best listings in the Sunset Park area!
Edwin is really good at matching people with spaces. He is amazing at managing the whole process and has really interesting listings that I long admired before having the pleasure of working with him. Thanks Edwin.
I saw Edwin at two separate apartment showings when looking for a place in NYC. He ultimately helped me get the second place. Edwin is transparent, responsive and thoughtful. I really appreciated his transparency and thoughtfulness around the different apartments and the process. Thank you Edwin!
Unbelievable broker and person in general! Extremely responsive and caring. I have recommended Edwin to multiple people already.
Highly recommend Edwin for any rentals in the 5 Burroughs. Got me a apt quick, answered my thousand questions and gave it to me straight unlike many other realtors I’ve used in the past.
Edwin was incredibly helpful, honest and communicative throughout our entire process of finding a new apartment. A breath of fresh air compared to some of the experiences we were having with other real estate agents and brokers in a busy season. I would certainly work with him again if we're ever looking for a new home, and I'd recommend him to anyone who might be in the search now.
Edwin was my realtor in finding a one-bedroom apartment in Park Slope. Edwin was great to work with! Very communicative, quick responses, and detailed instructions/messaging. He is loyal to his customers, and not to mention he has a really great portfolio of Brooklyn apartments, working with very good landlords and management companies. I would recommend Edwin to anyone looking for a rental in BK.
Edwin was very responsive and helpful in the apartment process!
Edwin was very helpful with our apartment search. He knows the neighborhood of Sunset Park really well and provided personal attention to our rental needs. He was also easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. I recommend working with him.
Edwin was super responsive and quick to reply to all of my questions. He kept me in the loop and made sure I knew what was going on each step of the way, making himself available for phone calls and quick email replies. The process was fast, but didn't feel rushed. He and Manas Property Management as a whole are really kind and want to make sure you feel welcome and comfortable in your new home. I really recommend working with them if you get the chance.
Edwin is always quick to answer any questions I had. He made it very easy to find a place to rent in NYC where the competition is rough. Thanks Edwin!
Edwin was absolutely phenomenal! He was super helpful and kept me in the loop about an upcoming unit, answered all of my questions and anticipated my needs. He made sure my lease signing was a breeze. I love my new apartment and never want to leave - but if I do, I will definitely be reaching out to him directly for future rentals.
Edwin was very helpful and informative. He brought us to multiple locations that met our needs and our budget, and made the final decision very easy.
Edwin was very responsive and helpful in our search for an apartment! I would recommend him to friends looking in the future.
Edwin was a class act throughout our process! Very accessible, communicative, and most importantly, a straight-shooter with the nitty gritty details. Apartment hunting can be such a pain, filled with spotty communication and shady characters. But Edwin was always straight with me and it allowed me to feel much more comfortable making the important decision to sign. We need more people like him in the business!
Edwin was very kind and helpful. He showed us some great properties and was able to solve issuses if they came up. Would recommend to anyone looking for help finding a place!
Mr. Ega was responsive, friendly, and helped me find an apartment in a tough market. I would absolutely reach out to him again for my next move.
Long over due review. I really cant thank Edwin enough. Being a first time renter, I was anxious and had many questions about the process. Edwin was always courteous and graciously answered all my questions. He was incredibly patient and available whenever I called.
Additionally, there was a minor hiccup when the apartment I had applied for became unavailable. Edwin was able to put me at ease throughout the entire process and eventually helped me find another similar apartment.
In this housing market you really cant put a price on finding someone to give you peace of mind like Edwin. Thank you again for all your time and support.
All the best.
Very helpful, quick to answer and friendly.
Edwin was an absolute lifesaver for me. I was looking for a 2 bedroom apartment in a particular neighborhood while living out of state. I met Edwin through a posting a few months before my target move date. Throughout those months, he was constantly in contact with me with new postings. Once I settled on an apartment, he sent me regular updates on renovations and helped get all my questions answered prior to the move-in date. If it wasn't for Edwin, I would have spent so many hours clicking through Zillow - he's truly amazing.
I would like to recommend Mr. Ega, he is very professional, Mr. Ega found me the right apartment. Thank you Mr. Ega for your valuable help.

Edwin was excellent and communicative hroughout our application process. He was honest and prompt.
Edwin has been nothing but amazing helping my fiancé and I find an apartment here in Brooklyn. We put out trust in him and he helped us get an amazing apartment for a great deal. (Note: we did a lot of searching remotely) He was quick to respond, kind and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him.
Edwin went above and beyond to help get me into my new apartment. I was moving from out of state, which is stressful enough already, but Edwin was helpful, communicative, and really went out of his way to make sure I had as smooth of a move as possible. I'd highly recommend working with him and am so appreciative of all of his help!

Edwin helped us find a home within 2 days. Responsive and very helpful.
Edwin was amazing all the way. He help me through the process. Smooth and easy sailing thanks to Edwin.
Thanks Edwin
Edwin is the best realtor, hands down! He listens to all of my needs and always delivers the best listings! I’ve successfully moved into two perfect apartments because of him! I trust him wholeheartedly and will always go to him if I need a new place.
Edwin rented me a great apartment, was prompt and reliable at every stage of the process, and continued to help me sort out minor details with my new landlord even after I'd signed the lease. He's good at his job - I highly recommend him to others!
Edwin was not only professional but my interaction with him made my experience feel personal. He took great care to respond to my needs and questions along the process. Finding a new home is always a trying endeavor but Edwin made sure it was smooth sailing from showing to signing.
Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Edwin is everything I hope to encounter in a realtor: on-time, honest, communicative, and transparent about any potential issues. He got us the best possible deal and has been properly attentive every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Edwin is an exceptional real estate broker! He helped me find a new studio in Brooklyn in no time, the overall experience was fast and smooth.

It was beyond a miracle meeting Edwin! Since the first day of seeing an apartment I really wanted, Edwin has provided top-tier support in helping me securing it. He not only provided details of the residence but gave a stellar overview of the neighborhood too, making me feel really comfortable when I moved. If you're looking for your new NYC home, then I would 100% recommend Edwin as your go-to realtor!
I highly recommend working with Edwin if you are looking for an apartment. He quickly helped me find an apartment I love. I looked at an apartment and the next day completed the lease. If you want make moving in NYC headache free and quick work with Edwin :)
My partner and I loved working with Edwin to find an apartment. He is very honest and upfront, and we trusted him completely.
Edwin and Daniel were very pleasant to speak with and they answered my questions about the listing as well as helped streamline the application process and communicated with the unit owner with the process. I appreciated working with them!
Edwin is a very clear communicator and is very helpful with answering questions. He helped me secure an apartment at the last minute, only 2 days before I had to move. He was more responsive than the other agents who were showing units in the area. Would definitely work with him again.
I reached out to Edwin about an apartment and unfortunately an application had already been submitted.
Two days later, I heard from Edwin that the applicant hadn’t completed the application so the unit was available again. Edwin was able to arrange a viewing of the unit the same day. I submitted an application immediately.
Edwin guided me through the whole process. The lease is signed and I couldn’t be happier, all thanks to Edwin. He is professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with to find the place that you are looking for.
Edwin was super helpful, had great communication, and was genuinely caring and attentive during the application process. I highly recommend him.
Great experience working with Edwin! Responsive around the clock and friendly. even though the apartments we saw and wanted were taken off the market, he would always send us new listings right away that always matched our search. he made the searching and applying process so much easier than all my previous experiences. definitely recommend!
Working with Edwin and Daniel was great!
they are both very professional and attentive, always ready to answer messages and clarify doubts.
Thank you for helping me to find my new home!
trabajar con Edwin y Daniel fue genial, ambos son muy profesionales y atentos, siempre dispuestos a contestar los mensajes y a aclarar dudas.
Muchas gracias por ayudarnos a encontrar nuestra nueva casa!
😊
It was a pleasure working with Edwin! He was incredibly responsive from beginning to end. Would highly recommend him for your next apartment search!
A five star review here! I was very dubious of working with a broker, as so many experiences felt like they were not all that helpful, not all that friendly, and just in it for a hefty broker's fee. Edwin was helpful from start to finish. He was friendly, communicative, and extremely responsive—more so than he needed to be as I know sometimes he was with family as he was fielding my anxious phone calls. He followed up after the move, as well, checking in to see how everything went. I can't say enough good things about him—he was extremely helpful, and in the end I was actually glad to have paid the broker's fee because it made my apartment application process feel substantially more supported. Go with Edwin! He is really a good guy and good at his work. - Ashleigh
Edwin was wonderful! He was friendly, helpful, and personable. He helped make our experience moving into our beautiful new apartment smooth and easy.
Edwin was fantastic to work with. Very responsive and helpful and his team was great as well. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone on their apartment hunt.
Edwin was a pleasure to work with. He was very personable and thorough in knowing his details about the apartment.
After some time searching, me & my fiancé found our beautiful apartment through Edwin. Working with him was a very good experience. He is a trustworthy, compassionate and honest person. (nothing like many brokers in NYC) He did his best to help us find a new home. We are extremely happy and thankful. Definitely recommend working with him.
Thanks again Edwin!
I had a wonderful experience working with Edwin! He is very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He helped me finding my dream apartment in Sunset Park and the process was stress free and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Edwin to anyone looking for a home.
Edwin was referred to me by my best friend. Edwin showed us some super apartments. We were spoilt for choice. We chose a leafy Brooklyn street two bed apartment in a brownstone. Edwin requested all our paperwork, we sent immediately and Edwin forwarded to Landlord immediately. Within 24 hours we received a text from Edwin saying “it’s yours”. We met Edwin next day signed lease, exchanged funds super easy. Edwin is professional, punctual and honest and will do his utmost to find you what you want. Thank you Edwin.
I can recommend Edwin as an honest and straightforward broker. Working with Edwin was easy, and he always responded promptly over text and phone. He even went to bat for me in negotiating pet approval from the landlord. Overall it was a very smooth process and I'd gladly work with him again.
Edwin was incredibly refreshing to work with after speaking with several brokers to find a rental from the other side of the country. He was prompt and clear in his communication via text, voice, and email while being friendly and thoughtful. I highly recommend Edwin!
By far the easiest agent to work with , my last minute situation was handled professionally and it showed Edwin’s years of experience in the business - you are in great hands !
Edwin went out of his way to find my family and I an apartment that best suited our needs.
Edwin was a pleasure to work with throughout the process of showing, application and signing the lease.
He seems to have good relationships with great landlords/buildings as well. Highly recommend.
Edwin is great to work with and always has beautiful apartments to show. I found my last apartment from him that I was in for 7 years and I just recently found my current apartment from him as well, both are the nicest places i’ve lived in since moving to NYC in 2004
We recently had the pleasure of working with Edwin when looking for a new apartment in Brooklyn. Edwin was extremely responsive and helpful, he was able to find us an amazing spot. Edwin tactfully guided us through the application process and was always available to answer all our questions. Without his expertise, we would not have found a new home. We had a great experience working with Edwin and we would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a new home in the city.

Working with Edwin made my apartment hunting a breeze. He was very communicative, transparent, and punctual. Both apartments he showed me were wonderful -- I got the feeling Edwin only partnered with quality Landlords. I will come back to Edwin for my next search, and will be recommending him to all my friends. Thank you!!
Edwin made it super easy for me to get my first apartment. Communication was clear, and Edwin was very patient with me. I would definitely recommend this guy to be your next apartment hunter. He did a superb job and found me exactly what I was looking for.
Edwin is amazing! He showed us a few apts we liked and we ended up signing the lease on an apt we love. It was a great pleasure working with him. Hope he could help you too!
Edwin was incredibly professional, helpful, and timely. It was refreshing to work with him after my previous experiences with other brokers. Throughout the process of renting, he was easy to reach, honest, and prepared to answer any questions I had. I would absolutely choose to work with Edwin again!
I would highly recommend working with Edwin, he was very accommodating and helpful through the process, and very quick to helping me get the apartment I wanted.
Working with Edwin was great! He prepared all of the documents necessary digitally which was very helpful, especially during a pandemic! He answered all of my questions immediately and helped me find my perfect place!
Of all our experiences with Brockers in New York none have been as straight forward, honest, helpful, and generous as Edwin. He worked effortlessly as an intermediary between us and our landlord and was always very responsive and helpful with all of our questions and needs. He provided necessary information about the neighborhood, previous tenants, and landlord all with an air of consideration for us and a compassion for his work. He made the process painless and easy.

My roommate and I looked at many apartments before connecting with Edwin. The apartment he showed us was beautiful and it was the best deal we had found by far. We've been really happy with it since moving in. He was easy to work with - friendly, responsive, and honest. He also made sure that the apartment tour was socially-distant and safe.
Edwin was very responsive and made me and my partner feel so comfortable in our search! You are in good hands with Edwin.
Great guy. Very response and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
At the time that I met Edwin Ega, I was frustrated with the unprofessionalism of some of the agents who refused to respond to my e-mails and calls and who did not listen to any of the concerns or wishes which I had.Edwin Ega, on the other hand was very patient and attentive, he responded to all my e-mails and texts and he made an effort to listen to and fulfill all the concerns and wishes which I had.It was a pleasure working with Mr. Ega. I would highly recommended him as a personable, professional and efficient agent who exceeded my expectations.

Very attentive and nice guy ! Saved me and my girlfriend through a rough struggle and landed us inside a beautiful home ! Absolutely recommend him as a agent ! And again , thank you so much Edwin ! :)
Responded right away, always answered calls and texts. Extremely helpful and courteous, takes his time during viewings and wants to help in any way he can. Would recommend 110%
I contacted this agent 9 mins after the ad was posted and he requested my phone that night. In the morning, I sent my phone (which was already apart of my signature in every email) and I never heard back. I canât say this was a good experience.

Edwin!!!This was the best moving experience I've ever had and I've moved almost every one of the past 8 years I've been in New York. I was in the middle of a terrible moving situation with incredibly dishonest brokering and management firms, and Edwin absolutely came to my rescue and found me my perfect home!You couldn't ask for a better, kinder, more reliable, or more knowledgable person to work with-----he's just a genuinely good guy who's there to help you. What a gentleman! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!Thank you again so much Edwin!Lauren Sher
Edwin was amazing to work with. He was quick, efficient, honest and did his best to get my paperwork approved so I could seal the deal. As a foreigner in New York, I was always insecure about how easy this part of the process was going to be, but Edwin provided guidance and support throughout and now I have a great apartment to live in.
Edwin has been absolutely amazing to work with! He helped us through the entire process, working to help us get approved for the apartment. He is very easy to reach and responsive through both text and call, and he answered all our questions right away. Working with Edwin has definitely made it a nice and simple to move into a new apartment.
Edwin helped us with the process in a timely and professional manner.
This is the second apartment that Edwin had helped us find! He's very helpful and matched us very quickly with an apartment that suited our needs! Thanks Edwin!
Edwin is great! He responded to our inquiries right away, and within three days we had seen a great apartment and signed the lease. He was really communicative and helped us get approved by the landlord. He was really accommodating to our schedule. Our apartment hunt couldn't have gone any smoother. Thanks Edwin!
Edwin was extremely helpful from the start. He got back to me right away about the apartment I was inquiring about. When we went to view the apartment, he answered all of our questions and was with us every step of the way through the lease signing. My roommates and I move in the middle of December and we have a lot of confidence in our choice and very excited to move into our new place.
Edwin was extremely helpful and responsive. He was respectful of our budget and timeline and was patient as we figured out what we wanted and could afford. We would definitely recommend him to others!
Edwin was fantastic. He showed us the apartment as quickly as he could and helped us communicate with the landlord. I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others.
I'm a student who just moved here from Canada. A lot of realtors were unwilling to help me since I did not have an American guarantor, and therefore the credit my guarantor had was Canadian. Edwin made the job easy and helped me find an apartment I love in a great area! He was also always quick to respond, even when I first reached out to him.I would recommend him to anyone needing a new place in NYC.

Edwin is by far the best agent I have dealt with. From showing me several listings to making sure I got the keys to the apartment, Edwin made the process easy and enjoyable.
Edwin was very helpful and accommodating. With his help, I was able to find a place in a very timely fashion. 10/10 would recommend.
Edwin was professional and fast to execute all necessary paperwork. I liked his approach to viewing apartments, he was not pushy whatsoever. He was a pleasure to work with and certainly was worth the brokers fee, would recommend him to anyone searching for an apartment. :)
Edwin has found us two apartments. We've had an easy search with him both times. We highly recommend working with him.
Edwin and his colleague JT were fantastic and made sure to find me a place when the first one fell through. Couldn't be happier, thanks guys!
Our experience working with Edwin was very positive. Not only was he respectful and friendly, but he also was very knowledgable about the area and took into account specific preferences that my boyfriend and I had in mind. Once we had found the apartment we wanted, he was very quick and communicative about the next steps and ensured that our application was submitted quickly and correctly. Thank you, Edwin, for helping us find the perfect home!
Working with Edwin was a great and refreshing experience. He was extremely friendly and professional, and was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. He kept his eyes open for us and helped us find an apartment that met all of our criteria. Then he went the extra mile and was able to negotiable a more affordable rent. We loved working with Edwin and will definitely recommend this trustworthy broker to all of our friends.
My communication with Mr. Ega went well until I had to cancel our scheduled appointment about 2.5 hours prior because the rent did not include heat and hot water. His response via text was ,"Its fine. I didn't think you could afford it anyway." Considering this individual had so many good reviews, I didn't think this would be the response I would receive for simply cancelling an appointment.If Mr. Ega felt this way after I informed him of our total income, then I am not sure why he did not communicate that to me from the beginning. If he did not believe we could afford apartment, he should not have scheduled an appointment with me. I would have been okay being told we did not meet requirements for the apartment.I am glad I did not waste my time to go view the apartment.
We started looking for our dream apartment and *BAM* -- Edwin was there to answer my texts and emails. I've lived in NYC for over 8 years and this was by far the best broker experience I've had. Edwin was courteous, responsive -- and HONEST. Some agents say what they need to say to get you to sign, but he was genuinely interested in making sure that we were happy in our space. Thank you, Edwin!
This review is overdue. Edwin responded quickly and professionally. Being new to NYC and not knowing anyone, he made it easy to trust him, in fact, we decided to apply to our current apartment on the pictures alone. When we finally did see it we were not at all disappointed. He made the application process easy, and not once did it feel like all he was after was our money. Will definitely recommend him to others.
Edwin was great. Looked at a studio I wasn't thrilled with. Told him what I was looking for and he delivered. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is squared away. Super easy to work with. On time. He definitely put in the effort to make the brokers fee worth it.
One and only agent you would need to find a perfect home in Brooklyn! Edwin is the first broker I've worked with and I'm lucky to have his experience and guidance for the past month. He's well versed with Sunset Park area and landlords, quick in response, always accommodating to my schedule and very attentive to what I was looking for. On top of everything, he is genuine and kind. I'm sure he has dozens of other clients to work with at the same time. But he always made me feel that I was the priority at the moment. It took me a bit of time to find a place I truly like. And I can't say enough about the support from him. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home in this area.
Edwin responded to my inquiry about an apartment immediately, and though that space was no longer available he recommended another that was larger and in the area I was interested in. I met with him to see the apartment the next day and fell in love with it, and he took the time to meet with the landlord and bargained the price down. I ended up getting an amazing deal on an apartment that I could only have dreamed of before I worked with Edwin! He was quick and courteous, and made the renting process so much easier than I've experienced with brokers before. I would recommend him to my friends and family, and would absolutely use him again if I ever move. He has made the daunting process of moving in New York infinitely easier, and I am so happy that I found him on Naked Apartments!
Normally I try really hard to find no fee listings, but Edwin has really shown the value of having a broker. He was able to put me in an apartment over the course of about 3 days from when I first viewed it. He showed me one apartment which had everything I wanted in the neighborhood that I wanted. He also connected me with a concierge at Time Warner who can save me money on cable hookup. I was happy to pay his fee and I will look for him if I'm ever renting in this neighborhood again!

Edwin was very professional and I instantly felt good vibes when meeting him (unlike most other brokers). He found me a great place based on my needs and went above and beyond by providing a lot of great resources that will help in my transition to my new apartment. Edwin was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process as was the rest of the Urban Realty team. I highly recommend.
What's there to say about this gentleman that hasn't been said by all of these reviews. Edwin Ega is a class act, through and through. He first showed us some of the initial properties we selected to view but they didn't turn out to be good fits once we visited. On the spot after hearing our specifications, he mentioned a new place that was just renovated and very close to where we wanted to be. It blew us away and he negotiated a monthly rent that met our budget range. Edwin always answered texts quickly, took phone calls during the application process, checked up on us at the lease signing, and put us in touch with a lot of great local resources to help make the move easier. We were originally trying to find a "no fee" place but were willing to pay a fee if the agent and place was right. This guy is worth every dime. Thanks Edwin, you are a rockstar.

What a pleasure it was working with Edwin (and his office manager, the immensely helpful Gillian McKenzie). I had the sense that Edwin took special interest -- and certainly worked very hard to understand my needs and then match me with the right apartment.In just a few days he showed me what he had, called other agents and building managers, drove me here and there, offered excellent, honest advice and found me a place I liked and rented. He was good company as well.I recommend Edwin and Urban Realty very highly. I will certainly call him again when I am next looking for an apartment.
Edwin has been such a great help during the entire apartment search project. When my roommate and I initially reached out to him about the apartment listing he responded to us immediately. We were able to set up two separate viewing appointments since my roommate and I have such different schedules, and once we applied for the apartment we were approved the same day. He was even able to give us a small discount on the brokers fee. Once we moved in he checked in with each of us to make sure we were happy, and followed up with the landlord about small fixes that needed to be done. Overall I would highly recommend Edwin. He is charismatic, genuine, upfront, and a real pleasure to work with
Prompt & Clear. Minimal amount of hassle.
Edwin is great! He helped us find a beautiful apartment really fast. He was very helpful and was able to answer all our questions about the apartment, he was there for us after signing the lease too.He is very kind and helped us finding a place in a good neighborhood with a good landlord! :)
Edwin was great. I contacted him and he answered my call right away and set up a viewing for the apartment within a couple hours. He was very accommodating to my availability. Being from Canada, I do not have a social (aka no credit). He was very upfront about what the landlord would expect from me so I felt comfortable applying for the apartment without the fear of rejection and losing my application fees. Ultimately, I was approved just as he said I would be with the required information within 1 business day. I signed the lease the same day and was able to move in the next day. All-in-all it was a very quick, hassle-free, and convenient transaction and Edwin is excellent to work with!
Edwin called me within minutes of my request for more information about an apartment and we met at an open house that night. Edwin was easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful, even checking in with me while he was away on vacation.
Edwin recently helped me and my partner find our new place and we couldnât be happier! We initially made an appointment with him to see a different listing and we were a little disappointed with its size and layout. Upon listening to our apartment requirements, he told us he had something close by and offered to drive us up the street to check it out immediately.After looking at places for several weeks and being discouraged we were shocked that this place truly had it all. He let us really take our time looking around the apartment, and answered all of our questions knowledgable. His demeanor was casual yet professional, and he made us feel like we were in good hands when we took the leap and but down a hefty deposit. He was even generous as to lower his brokerâs fee to monthâs rent which is shocking in todayâs NYC renting world. Even after we signed our lease he continued his great service. He reached out and gave us a Time Warner contact to get us a good deal!This will be my 4th time moving in NYC and I can say that this experience was defiantly the best. It was seamless and stress free and we are so grateful we found Edwin who is solely responsible.
I reached out to Edwin via text and he responded within the hour. I had a crazy schedule and he took the time to back and forth with me to find a slot that would work to view my desired apartment. He was upfront about the number of people interested, but he never put the pressure on with any "this place won't last" language--he was always very nice and relaxed. I was 5 minutes late to the viewing and he was outside chatting with the owner, whom he had worked with for years, and they clearly have a good working relationship. He gave me space to see the apartment for myself, while providing plenty of great info. Always nice and easy, never tried to sell me something I didn't ask for...like "another apartment close by but for a little more money". Very classy. I wanted the apartment so he drove me back to the office and we took care of the prelims. Two days later we signed the paperwork and it was done. Quick and comfortable and Edwin was very classy and cool.
I had the pleasure of being able to work with Edwin. Edwin was very thorough in finding the best apartments available in the Brooklyn area. He took his time in driving us around to see the various apartments and I never felt rushed. He was a wealth of information and was easily available anytime I had a question. I ended up signing a lease with Edwin and was able to do so while out of New York. Thanks Edwin!
We could not be happier with the service provided to us by Edwin. He truly went well above and beyond for us. Moving from out of state we really didn't know what to expect and Edwin exceeded all of our expectations. He and his team (Gillian was great as well!) made this experience hassle free with minimal stress. Even after our lease signing Edwin continued to send us information regarding dog friendly areas of the city along with utility info, etc. Thank you Edwin, Gillian and the Urban Realty team. We sincerely appreciate all of your hard work!
Edwin helped my boyfriend and i out of a bind. We had had a heck of a time finding an apartment with my boyfriends poor credit and had a couple of apartments slip through our fingers. The apartment Edwin showed us was by far the best that we had seen and we were able to reach a deal with the landlord concerning my boyfriends credit. We are beyond happy with our new place!
I have worked with Edwin twice in the past. He has been professional and really takes finding the RIGHT apartment for his clients seriously. The first time he helped me find an apartment, I was living on my own, and for the first time. I had no idea where I was going to look or what I could really afford. He actually DROVE me around all day finding a place, and alas we found a great 1br apartment under budget in one day!Second time, now with a roommate was the same situation. In one day we found the place we now call home, and I can't be more grateful for his help. He knows Brooklyn very well and knows MANY landlords and building managements. He is out to help his clients find the RIGHT place, not out for your pocket. I would definitely and HAVE recommended Edwin to friends and will continue to work with him.
Edwin was great. When I originally contacted him to view an apartment, he responded right away, AND found 3 other apartments for us to look at. When we decided to apply for a place, he was incredibly helpful and got us approved for our apartment overnight for $100 less than the original listing! Definitely recommend!
Working with Edwin was great. He was quick to respond to my inquiry and any questions I had during the lease approval and signing process. He is great, it was a pleasure having him as an agent. I've already recommended him to my friend. Thanks again Edwin
Most realtors are really scummy - it's an unfortunate fact. Edwin is the opposite. He worked hard to introduce me to the area and find a safe, affordable home that met my and my girlfriend's restrictions. Not only was he willing to go to bat for me with my current landlord, but he made sure we had a good landlord and a good neighborhood. I absolutely recommend! He lives in and loves the area, he'll take care of you
Edwin responded to all of our questions/inquiries quickly and clearly. He was also super patient and showed us a ton of units - some more than once. Most agents in NY will rush you along and pressure you to move as quickly as possible, but we really felt like Edwin was on our team. Can't wait to get into our new place.
Edwin was amazing. Probably the best, most attentive, honest, broker I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Unfortunately I couldn't rent the apartment I wanted but he did everything in his power to make it happen, and when it didn't work out he was so nice.
My girlfriend and I didn't end up renting an apartment from Edwin because we settled on a different neighborhood in Brooklyn but we were both so impressed by his professionalism and courtesy I felt the least I could do was write a positive review.Edwin was a big relief from other brokers I've dealt with in NYC. He was straightforward and honest about the rentals and he drove us to our next appointment. He lives in the neighborhood and knows the business cold. I'd highly recommend him.
Edwin was amazing in our search for an apartment. He showed my roommate and myself numerous places over the course of two weeks until we found one that suited us and fit in our exact price range. We ended up in a 2 bedroom in Sunset Park right next to the park, it is lovely and we are enjoying new neighborhood.
Edwin listened to what I wanted and didn't show me the apartments that were not suitable saving me time. He came up trumps and I got a fantastic apartment within days of making contact with him. He knows a lot of people in the neighbourhood and he has good contacts to find you the right place.
It's really hard to find a good apartment without a broker. I quickly realized that I need one. I had been using other sites (as well as craigslist) but just discovered nakedapartments and quickly found Edwin. I'm very happy with both discoveries.The entire experience with him and his team was quick and professional. What had taken me weeks to find a place, was done in three days! Edwin didn't do the pressure tactics that other broker use; he let the apartment "speak" for itself and I was very happy with what I saw. For anyone looking, if you come across an apartment that you like, run don't walk to put that deposit down and start the application.Edwin is good guy and I appreciate his help as well as his team, Urban Realty.

After seeing his reviews, I called him up and scheduled to meet him 2 hours later. He showed me six apartments (far more than I expected, given how hard it was for me to find apartments within my price range). He seemed to really know the area I was looking in (Greenwood/Sunset). He answered all my questions, and was honest and not-at-all pushy. My fiance and I are so happy to have gone through him!
Edwin is literally the best broker, I have worked with since moving to NY from Chicago 2 years ago. If you want a broker that is knowledgable (drove me around the neighborhood, showed me hot spots) about the area and I know the area well but Edwin did too, even better than me. I saw some places with other brokers and I knew more than they did. He treats you with respect, isn't going to push you into a place that you aren't feeling. He is a broker that is looking out for YOU. First one, I met in NY.I felt that Edwin was there to help me and get me the best deal at the best price and the best, most amazing apartment in the area I wanted. I don't write reviews but I am HAPPY to write this and recommend Edwin to anyone. Five stars.
Edwin helped my family and I find an apartment less than one week before our old lease ended and was there for us even after signing the lease. He's a soft spoken, kind, and curteous gentleman, which is very rare with many other brokers whom I've dealt with. He paid attention to what we needed in the apartment and respected the budget that we'd set up for ourselves. Judging from our little chats, he's also a family man which made him very sympathetic to my wanting a safe and comfortable place for my loved ones. I could not have asked for a better realtor. He definitely came through for us.
Run don't walk to work with Edwin Ega. Edwin and his team are hands down the absolute best people I've ever worked with in NY apartment hunting. Not only did we score an amazingly beautiful apartment but everyone was incredibly courteous and understanding of our scheduling problems (we had a very tight window with which we were trying to move). We were even those jerks that had put money down with them and then asked them to wait while we pursued another option and when our other option fell through Edwin and his team didn't hesitate to pick the search back up with us with their full weight and positive, friendly, human approach. They found us something that was ultimately perfect. I don't know why we ever thought to work with anyone else- If we ever have to go searching again (which I doubt we will since we are in our dream apartment) I've got Edwin on speed dial.

My boyfriend and I were moving in together and had a variety of neighborhoods that we could work with....ergo we talked to a lot of brokers. Edwin probably ranked in the top 10% of brokers that we worked with! He got back to us promptly and after initial contact, was constantly showing us just-available apartments. Best of all was Edwin's attitude and demeanor. Utterly knowledgeable and easygoing, Edwin was a breath of fresh air in the stressful NYC rental market. He gave his honest opinion of services available, landlords, and pros/cons of various apartments in the Sunset Park area. We hit it off with Edwin right away and would recommend him highly to anyone, especially if you're looking in Sunset Park!
Edwin responded very quickly to my request to see an apartment. it was a "right place right time" situation, so it all worked out very quickly. I also got the sense that Edwin knows his landlords well, which made me feel more at ease. I can't speak for the rest of Rapid Realty, but Edwin is definitely worth working with!

After a month-long nightmare of an apartment search, it was a pleasure working with Edwin. He's very popular in Brooklyn (for good reason) and is incredibly busy, but you wouldn't know it because his response time is lightning-fast and he never appears to be in a rush. He set me up with a great place, then went out of his way to offer additional assistance, even after I had signed the lease. Highest recommendation. (P.S. Top-notch team at his office, as well.)
Edwin is great! He showed us only one apartment, but it was the absolute perfect apartment for our needs. No wasted time showing us properties that didn't measure up. Edwin really knows the area. He listens to his client - and that's number one. He's also a very ethical and honest broker - hard to find in today's business environment. Work with this guy - you'll be glad you did.
From the first phone call Edwin was MORE than helpful. He answered all my questions, showed up promptly at the appointment time, and helped make my apartment search the EASIEST it has ever been (I've moved 6 times). I am reccomending Edwin to all my friends.
Edwin was great. He was one of the few brokers who actually responded quickly to an email about any of the apartments I reached out about. He was quick to answer any and all question we had about the apartment and made sure that since we emailed him first that we were the first to see the apartment. I had heard mixed things about Rapid but after using Edwin my mind has been changed.
Edwin responded very quickly to me inquiry and showed me an apartment I was asking about the same day. He was very knowledgable on the area and offered a lot of insight in to the neighborhood as well.
**this is an amended review, as I posted a review yesterday, 08/05/2013**Edwin did not respond to my initial inquiry, however I couldn't leave a text review without checking that box. Though Edwin did not respond to my initial inquiry, upon seeing my negative review, he reached out to me and sent me an email apologizing and offering to help me with any needs. I have to say, that's worth something.

Edwin was quick to respond to phone calls and texts. As that is how he responded to me upon initial inquiry to a beautiful two bedroom apartment in Bay Ridge.Edwin knows the BK area very well and is mindful of hi client's needs. He does his best to find out the information that you ask of him, and will deliver.I highly recommend Edwin for being a great professional throughout the entire course from initial showings to signing. He is honest truly wants for his clients to be happy where they end up choosing to live.I've seen former clients come back into the office, to once again get his help. Give him some of your time and he will certainly get you the apartment you want.Best of luck on your apartment hunts!
After about 3 weeks of looking for a place that was big enough and accepted 2 dogs, we finally came across Edwin who showed us a great apartment that we ended up renting. Although it was a bit over our budget, it had tons of space and allowed us to keep our two dogs. Now we have a great place in a brown stone near the park and it is all thanks to Edwin!
After living in Brooklyn for ten years and undergoing a three week long discouraging apartment search, I found Edwin. He was extremely responsive and helpful and completely put me at ease throughout the process. He had great listings and showed me very nice apartments. He had great relationships with the landlords and went to great lengths to give me information about the new neighborhood I was moving in to. Professional, courteous and patient, he answered every single question that I had. It's easy to see why he gets such good reviews! Do yourself a favor and work with him.

Responded to initial inquiry by asking for my number and then had some communication issues. His other reviews are great though so maybe it was a chance thing.
Edwin is great!I didn't take the first place that he showed me, but he called me back the next day and said he found a studio 2 blocks away from my old one. It was amazing!Edwin and everyone at their office made everything they could so I would get this apartment, and I'm really grateful to all of them, because I think there are no other place that will fit me and my needs better.Don't even think twice - he's the best one :)

After a crazy long apt search, it was very refreshing to meet Edwin. He stuck by his word, was very honest, negotiated a great deal and quickly answered the million questions I had (over a period of a few weeks!).Great experience-would absolutely recommend him to my family and friends!

Edwin knows what's going on, has a heart for people who getting started and might not meet requirements demanded by landlords. He seems to have great relationships with landlords he has been working with over the years. He knows the neighbourhoods he is dealing with very well!! He is quick, he puts his money where his mouth is!! Great Great Great experience!!!! Highly recommend him!!
