If it's your first time renting in NYC, I would definitely recommend Joseph! I communicated and worked with a lot of brokers over the past couple of weeks and Joseph was the most knowledgeable and UPFRONT about the process. He took his time explaining everything and meeting our level of understanding. Being a first-time renter in the city is no easy thing and Joseph was very helpful when it came to explaining the financial aspect of the process as well as making sure we knew what to expect. My roommate and I are very excited about our move into the city and look forward to working with Joseph again in the future!!

Joseph is amazing! I've been living in the city for almost six years now, and everyone living in NYC knows what kind of unique pain the housing market here is. I've never had such a painless process - my roommates and I had a set of criteria and Joseph catered apartment showings exactly to what we were looking for without pushing us towards apartments that were out of our budget (or under our budget, which is more important than you might think!) He even had one of his colleagues cover for him one weekend when our schedules couldn't line up (she was also a stellar agent). We were able to negotiate a move-in day on the lease we ended up signing, as well.

Joseph is an outstanding agent from start to finish. He's a fast learner and quickly understands your needs and what you're looking for - the viewings were definitely curated. He is also very proactive in keeping up with market and scheduling appointments to view the most recent listings; he will call to check in advance to make sure that the specific unit does indeed have what you're looking for (e.g. lots of natural light) before setting something up. Joseph is very organized and schedules viewings efficiently; time is money and he spends yours consciously. He is extremely committed to securing your apartment once you've chosen your place and remained incredibly hands-on throughout the entire application process to ensure all the paperwork are submitted and keeping you updated every single step of the way. Communication in such a fast moving market is key and Joseph has always been consistently transparent and honest. He also does as much as possible to accommodate your schedule by travelling to and from the landlord to pick up/drop off the keys/documents/etc on your behalf. I'm very pleased with the apartment he found and I'd be happy to use his services again. I have no reservation in recommending him to help you find your next home.
