Sam is responsive, clear, and very pleasant to communicate with. He's patient and always there. I've managed to search for an apartment and sign a lease within one week. There was nothing "extra" about him that slowed down the process and I'm grateful to have been able to work with him.
We were really under a time crunch and only had a little over a week to find an apartment. Sam was very accommodating and helped us find exactly what we were looking for right away. I highly recommend him as a realtor as he will make your apartment rental process as smooth as possible.
Sam is AMAZING! He was extremely patient and thoughtful while working with us on finding an apartment. He really listened to what we wanted and only showed us what we wanted to see (i.e. places within our budget and that we could afford). And, he ushered us all over the city! We highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for an apartment in NYC, especially if you are new to or unfamiliar with the city.

Sam is an amazing person to work with. The moment you meet with him, he puts his complete attention and effort on you. He takes into consideration all your worries, considerations, constraints etc. and gives you the best choices of places. With his vast knowledge of the city, you can be assured that you will find some great places to live !
Sam was really nice and willing to be there for us even if it meant staying late at night. He was really available and persistent in finding an apartment. I can only recommend Sam.
Found Sam through a listing on the Columbia off-campus housing website.
Both Sam and his partner Robin were extremely efficient and friendly people. They had a good understanding of my needs and guided me smoothly through the otherwise difficult Manhattan apartment search.
With their guidance I was able to find a fantastic apartment within just one day of searching, and they guided me through all of the necessary paperwork as well.
Sam did a wonderful job of helping us find our new apartment. He was very responsive and, although we only had a few days to look at places, was proactive at finding and vetting apartments within our specifications; he made our search very efficient and I couldn't be more appreciative.
In addition, Sam was extremely helpful and accomodating through the application process- especially since we were conducting everything from out of state.
I would definitely recommend working with Sam!
I worked with Sam Kankalil on finding a studio apartment in Manhattan. My goal in changing apartments was save money. He showed me several studio apartments within my budget. But in the end I decided to renew the lease on the apt I presently in. I would definitely work with Sam again!
Sam is an amazing broker! This is my fourth time moving in the city and I've had many, many brokers (some good, but many bad). Sam took the time to really understand what I was looking for and showed us 5 apartments that were all great and within my budget. I highly recommend Sam for your next apartment search!
Sam was amazing and showed me a few great apartments that were in my price range. I actually saw one that was amazing and that I would have happily put in an application for that same day. However I ended up seeing another apartment later that day that I decided to go with instead. Regardless I would happily recommend Sam as a broker for anyone. He was understanding, nice, and seemed very knowledgable and experienced with real estate in NYC. Thanks again Sam for your help!
Worked on Sam with getting my studio. He was extremely helpful and diligent. He is patient with requests and understands what you are looking for. I would be referring my friends to work with Sam.
My sister and I worked with Sam to find an apartment in either the upper west side or midtown. We weren't sure which area would work for us and he took the time to show us both. We were looking at the end of summer and there was not much available but Sam was very resourceful and persistent with helping us find something that worked for us. We ended up in midtown and are very happy with our new apartment and with the whole process with Bond!
Sam was an amazing broker to work with, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. It took me a long time to find the right apartment. He never grew impatient or pushed me to sign a lease for a place that wasn't the right fit. Sam would routinely send me updates of new options and even responded to me after hours. I'm happy to have found a wonderful apartment thanks to Sam's willingness to help. If you're looking for a broker that is willing to work within your budget and devote time and effort to finding you the right place than do yourself a favor and work with Sam!

Sam was extremely helpful not only during the apartment-searching process, but long after. He was always available when I had questions, taking the time to promptly respond via email or phone during any time of week. He made a stressful process all the more manageable, and was kind and understanding the whole way through. Highly recommended!
