Agent Profile
Kenneth Thornton landed in New York City by way of chilly Syracuse. He has always had an affinity for the energy of the big apple. He first experienced the cities vibrance as a young boy taking visits to his grandmother's home in the Bronx. Their trips to Manhattan provided his first glimpse at the magnificent architecture and larger than life skyscrapers. Fast forward to 2006 when he graduated from Syracuse University followed by his move to New York where he began his career in Media.
Kenneth has worked for some of the most well known brands and top advertisers in the world. MTV, Warner brothers, Procter & Gamble are just a few. After spending several years in Advertising Sales he decided to start a new journey in the real estate industry. A decision that has afforded him the luxury to fully explore the city he fell in love with as a child. In a fast paced market where short attention spans are the norm Kenneth takes pride in taking his time, listening to his clients and ensuring they receive exceptional client service. He actively treats every relationship with the worth and respect they deserve. His positive attitude is infectious and he understands that consistency is a characteristic that seems simple but is ultimately rare to find. "People appreciate being treated like human beings, not numbers. Timely responses are pivotal and I always want my clients to feel like they are my top priority." Kenneth continues to educate himself and evolve which allows him to spread valuable knowledge to his ongoing relationships. Kenneth loves music and uses it as a creative release. He manages producers in his spare time and thoroughly enjoys being in the studio during the creative process. He loves staying active through organized sports like basketball and touch football as well as bike riding.
Reviews for Happy Clients:
Rachel: "Ken is hands down the best broker I have ever used. My roommates and I were really struggling to find an apartment we liked and were using all the wrong brokers. After a lot of shady business and seeing lots of terrible apartments, we came across Ken on Naked Apartments.
Ken actually listens to what you want/what you are looking for a does not waste your time. He is honest, reliable, and trustworthy -- and will go above and beyond to make sure you get the best possible deal and land in a great apartment.
Thanks to Ken, we found an apartment we loved for an incredible price. After my experience working with him, I will always recommended Ken to those looking to move in NYC.
Do not waste your time on other brokers -- Ken is the BEST in the business!!"
Carson: "Ken was an absolute pleasure to work with. As most people know, apartment hunting usually takes place over a short and stressful time period with inventory getting low while competition is getting higher. Ken made this process much, much easier than I thought it would be. He was willing to stay at the office later when I needed to send over documents, meet me at almost any time that I could make it to see an apartment, and answer questions via phone or e-mail at all times. Truly awesome client service, which is not something you can take for granted in the gritty NYC rental market. I didn't really even give any other brokers a chance because I knew Ken had my best interests at heart, and understood exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely go through Ken again in the future if I find myself apartment searching, but in the meantime, he found my sister and I a great apartment to live in!"
Taylor: "Warm and sociable, I forgot I was viewing tons of apartments when working my way around NYC with Ken.
My roommate and I were thrilled and struck by Ken's kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond to protect us as renters.
No shark-like qualities, no greasy, surreptitious intentions, Ken is a real gem in NY."
