We were excited to move to nyc but didn't realise how difficult the apartment hunt could be. Very soon we realised that a broker might be needed.
We spoke to a few brokers and all they did was scare us even more, telling us how nothing will stay for more than two days and that it is a very tough situation out there. It was finally when we spoke to Yousaf that we felt at ease. He wanted to work with us instead of scaring us into just signing something.
So while people might want to scare you into signing leases , even very uncomfortable ones (happened to us) , do not do it. Instead reach out to Yousaf.
He was not only helpful but very encouraging. He always stuck to our budget and did not try to oversell.
People usually always go overboard the budget and try telling potential renters how they should get the overpriced apartment because that's what's available.
He did not put any pressure on us, was very open with us and did not get irritated or show any attitude when we didn't like the options.
He also got us a good deal ! Honestly he became a friend who genuinely tried to help us
With Yousaf you will be in great hands!
Working with Yousaf Rehman was a fantastic experience. Yousaf is attentive, professional and has excellent follow through, he listened to our requests and only presented apartments that met our criteria.
We are relocating from Paris to NYC and were facing a very tight timeline. Yousaf walked us, via FaceTime, through numerous apartments until we found the one we wanted in the location we wanted.
We HIGHLY recommend Yousaf. The best real estate experience we’ve ever had.
Yousaf has been extremely helpful throughout the entire process of finding a tenant. He’s proven to be very reliable and has made my life much easier. He thinks always two steps ahead and I never had to worry about anything. Would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks Yousaf!
Yousaf was extremely helped up from the moment we reached out about the apartment to the day we signed our lease. He answered all calls and texts right away and took time to walk us through the process and kept us updated with our application status. He knew exactly what he was talking about (most brokers I’ve worked with can’t even remember which building they’re at). He takes his time when he’s with you which is so important. He even worked with our building’s management to get us an earlier move in date which was amazing! He was there through every step of the process! Everyone looking for an apartment in NY should work with him.
Yousaf helped me find a great apartment within our budget. Getting the apartment was a very time sensitive issue, and Yousef worked quickly to find exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend.
Yousaf was a MAJOR help in landing an apartment in NYC. He was incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire process, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns my roommate and I had. He truly went above and beyond to help meet our needs especially since we were completing our search out of state. I would highly recommend him as an agent, and will definitely be going through him for future real estate needs!
Yousaf was absolutely amazing to work with! He does everything he can to not just find you an apartment but also provides his full attention and support throughout the entire process. He’s extremely knowledgeable and I really appreciated all his advice throughout the process of getting my apartment as well. He truly goes the extra mile for his clients and I could not recommend him enough. I’m so happy with my apartment and it’s thanks to him!
Yousaf was extremely helpful working with us to find our apartment! He took all of our requirements into consideration, and stayed on top of everything when we found a building we were interested in. He is always very quick to respond and kept us updated throughout the entire process. Could not recommend him more!
My girlfriend and myself had been looking for apts for almost 4 month.
I happened upon renthop and Yousef was my first realtor I had reached out to. Yousef responded almost immediately and set something up for the next day. He had asked our preferences and even tho we had scheduled one apt he showed us 8 within walking distance. We ended up moving forward with one of his showings the next day.
In my experience some realtors do the bare minimum, Yousef helped and guided us through the process and dealt with all issues immediately and promptly. He was a breath of fresh air among other realtors who just didn’t seem to care and treated us as if we were just another paycheck or just brushed us off.
Would highly recommend Yousef, and will surely work with him again when the time comes.
Great person and does his job very well - even offered to help move me in! Highly recommend :)
Yousaf was amazing to work with! We looked for an an apartment during covid, and were worried about renting without seeing it in person. Not only did he facetime us in, show us all the specs, and send photos and videos afterwards, he went out of his way to show us other units in nearby area until we found our perfect match! We are so excited about the unit he found for us, and it checked every box!
Yousaf is a really friendly an approachable guy. He spent the day with us showing us a variety of accommodations in different types of buildings. He has a very wide knowledge of property in Manhattan. We are brand new to the city so he also gave us tons of really useful advice and information on neighbourhoods and general NYC living.
We found a place after our first search with him.
Thanks Yousaf!

Yousaf was such a pleasure to work with. He was patient and really had an understanding of what it was I was looking for in my new home. I would highly recommend him to anyone else in the market for a new home!

We went to New York with a very short window of time to find the perfect home. In one day, Yousaf showed us not one, not two, but three apartments that would have worked very well. We ended up getting the best one for the best price. Yousaf was professional, energetic, and exceedingly efficient. Moving in such a short time frame is a high-stress endeavor, and Yousaf helped to mitigate some of that stress.Thank you.Jason
This is the 2nd year I have worked with Yousaf to find an apartment in New York and definitely not the last! In a city where there's an overwhelming number of agents to work with, I can say with certainty that Yousaf is one of the most dedicated, trustworthy, and friendly guys in the business. He always puts his clients first and is extremely logical and honest. He always seems to have a solution when a problem arises, due to his extensive knowledge of the business and the positive reputation he's built amongst his colleagues. I've had only wonderful experiences working with Yousaf -- highly recommend!
Yousaf is a professional, efficient and friendly agent. He did a great job organizing and prioritizing the apartments correctly with the limitations we told him, and acted in our best interest in every apartment we visited. I highly recommend him.
You made something so overwhelming, so easy. Thank you Yousaf for taking your time to go through so many wonderful apartments. You cut through the chase by learning what my daughter wanted and came through with flying colors. Imagine, taking a list of over 30 apartments and breaking it down to find the very best apartment in just 2 days. And then within a week, she was moving in. Very pleased and will continue to inform other young adults who are making the move from college to NYC to go through the best person possible. And thanks for taking care of her during that full day as you were a total gentleman... by lending your jacket when she was cold and buying her smoothies when needed something nutritious. You are the best!!!

After initial contact with Yousaf he followed up shortly after with an expansive portfolio of numerous apartments not only in great areas but also for prices within my budget. Yousaf helped with every step in the apartment acquisition process and was truly a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Yousaf to anyone looking for an apartment.
Yousaf is such a nice guy. He was friendly and not cocky which is very hard to find from real estate agent. He catches what we need for my apartment and showed me spaces that we would want. He understands diversity and welcomed me and my wife. He worked really hard for me even though i had very tough situation to get an apartment.I definitely recommand Yousaf to anyone who is looking for right apartment for you.
Yousaf was the best broker I've ever dealt with. He is very straightforward, honest, and resourceful. He helped us through the process every step of the way; from picking out the perfect apartment within our price range to communicating to the leasing office on our behalf. He will be there at every signing (even when he doesn't need to be) just because he cares about his clients finding the perfect space. No complaints!
Yousaf is the best broker any one can ask for. He does not charge a fee, and he manages to show you amazing buildings that fit within the budget you gave him. He assists you with any thing you need, from looking for apartments until the moment you sign the lease. He gave me awesome advice and was patient at all times. I found my dream place, and thanks to his extensive knowledge, I was able to rent the apartment despite running into some problems related to guarantoors and despite me being away of the country while the process was going on.
I would definitely recomend Yousaf, he makes renting in NYC a pleasure!
Yousaf is great! He answered my emails and texts very quickly, showed me the apartments that fit my criteria exactly and was extremely helpful with the whole lease-signing process. I highly recommend him!
I just want to say thank you to Yousaf Rehman for dealing with my families crazy schedules !!! Even though we haven't found anything yet (only because of my daughter really doesn't need to move out of her current apt till June 15 lol) Yousaf made it clear that he would be available for us at any time (even nights and weekends to accommodate my daughters busy work schedule ) I really can't say enough good things to say about him!!! What a great personality he has and it is a pleasure to hit 10,000 steps on my Fitbit while apartment hunting with him lol!! He's not the typical "pressure pushing-agent" but always keeps us informed by sending us emails of potentional apartments that might meet our requirements......if anyone's looking to make their apartment hunting in NYC stress free I would recommend calling Yousaf Rehman!!! Thank you again Yousaf.....Jeanmarie
Yousaf was able to help find me exactly what I was looking for. Humble yet very efficient and professional. Highly recommeded!
