"If you are searching for an apartment in NYC, we highly recommend working with Jason Angrist. From showing us our apartment unit through our move-in date, Jason was helpful, quick, transparent, and trustworthy. Not only did he show us the unit that we love, but his support throughout the application process was well above our expectations. This apartment was our first co-op application and we were working on a very tight timeline. Jason was clear on the documents we needed and the priority level of gathering each piece of the puzzle, he was communicative on the status of the process, and above all else, he treated us with kindness and respect. In an industry where you come across manipulation and dishonesty often, Jason was a breath of fresh air. He was fully transparent, real, and human-centered with us throughout the entire process. We love our apartment and are so grateful for the work that Jason did to help us move into it." – Andrew R.

"Perhaps the most appropriate testimonial to Jason is the fact that I chose to work with him two times within two months. After my first experience working with him, I wouldn’t seek out anyone else. Jason is professional, knowledgeable, and gets to know his clients’ preferences with such expertise. Moving can be stressful, but Jason makes the process a pleasant one. We look forward to working with you again, and will continue to refer our friends and family to you. Thanks Jason!" – Rita H.

"We can’t thank Jason enough for helping us find an apartment for our daughter who is attending graduate school in New York. We had two days to find the apartment. After trying it on our own the first day, we found nothing even close to acceptable and were very frustrated. We called Jason that afternoon and by the next morning he had six or eight appointments lined up for us, every 30 minutes. All of the apartments were nice and we ended up picking the first one. Jason helped to guide us to the right place considering the apartment itself, the cost, and its location. Jason assisted us all of the way through the process and was able to answer any questions we had. My daughter is settled and happy in her new place. We could not have done it without him! " – Philip S.

“Jason is the kind of guy you can trust when you’re new to the city, and to America itself. From day one Jason showed me a variety of apartments and helped me navigate in the jungle of bureaucracy. Thanks to the combined efforts and negotiation skills of Jason and Ryan, I found an apartment in the best spot in less than a week! Jason’s patience and ability to be on target have proven essential in the process and I recommend Jason and Ryan, true professionals of their kind. “ – Ophir T.
