Reviews of Bond New York Real Estate (Real Estate Agency)

Ishan Dave

We went to their office to see a specific unit posted the same morning as our appointment. They had us fill out a form and then told us the unit we were interested in was already rented, but they could show us others. This is a very common bait and switch tactic used in NYC realty that has wasted a ton of our time.

Pleasant experience at Bond real estate where I was serviced by a very capable young lady called Ariana who showed me a selection of properties of the specification I required. There was no hard selling or fake "sales" techniques used, she was very forthcoming and her follow-up with me was very very proactive. I would definitely recommend Bond real estate to anyone who's looking for a new apartment or house to rent or buy in the city or surrounding areas. Great service, great people

Justin and Phillip adopted a systematic and informative approach when helping me with the apartment search last summer. They were mindful of my criteria at all times, knowledgeable about the apartment listings, and quickly incorporated feedback from the first day into the second day of viewing. They also kept clear and prompt communications regarding document preparation, action items, as well as any potential issues. Both my mom and I found the interactions with them a pleasant experience. I am glad to be able to find a place within such a short time frame, and would like to recommend Justin and Phillip for being professional, efficient, and friendly throughout the process.

Hello!!! I definitely had an amazing experience with your company! Kacy Worker helped me find an apartment last summer and she was the best ! She was very knowledgeable and professional. She really went out of her way to make me happy and very comfortable to find the best fit for me ! I would definitely recommend her and your company to anyone. Five stars all around!!!!!

I had the wonderful experience of having Barbara Fears as my agent, after having a VERY stressful time looking for an apartment in NYC. Barbara was a breath of fresh air to say the least. In a market where agents are either fresh out of college, unprofessional, shifty, or just plain don't care, Barbara put them all to shame by being super attentive and understanding of our needs. They don't make too many like her, so I stress that anyone who is looking for an agent to put their full faith in Ms. Barbara Fears! I couldn't ask for a better professional and person to help me and family find a home. Thank you :-)

I can’t say enough great things about Kevin Damman and Jonathan Gomez. I am a highly suspicious (of real estate in nyc), money conscious consumer - and before working with BOND I was speaking with several brokers that were not impressing me - I didn’t see the value in working with real estate agents and wanted to do it myself. That is until I found Kevin and Jonathan who worked so hard for me - you can tell when someone is being honest and genuine and wants to work hard for you. Immediately I knew this was the team to work with. I ended up with a studio apartment, under my budget(!!) in the neighborhood of my dreams in 24 hours. I would recommend them to everyone.

Justin Duffy did a fantastic job helping my husband and I find an apartment! We needed to be by specific subways and had several features in our future apartment building that were important to us - Justin was extremely patient, found tons of apartments for us to look at, and helped us find the perfect one. He was reliable, hard-working, and easy to work with. Thank you Justin!

Tristan Weissler

When working with Bond, I was taken care of by Justin Duffy and Aubree Brown. They were both very accommodating with my schedule and apartment needs. I would recommend them to anybody that wants to make the apartment hunting process stress free. Despite my eagerness to find an apartment, they both kept a professional demeanor throughout my time working with them. They have an obvious understanding that not every client is alike, and will make the necessary moves to meet whatever needs are required. Thanks a bunch to Justin and Aubree, as well as Bond!

Steve Trummer

Beka helped us every step of the way to secure our first apartment at a great rate. He was extremely responsive to any questions we had, even if they were outside business hours! Would definitely reccommend to a friend. Pleasure working with him!

Ashlin Dolan

Had the best time looking for an apartment with Bond. Beka is the best. Very trust worthy company with trustworthy people!

Gabriel

Lance is a incredible broker! Helping us with everything

Camille Garcia

The word perfect is not enough but Devon Carter was incredible in order to find my apartment. I am very proud of her successful job, her open minded to work and her understanding with my apartment's criteria. She has done a very impressive job and in a fast time to answer to my need. I definitely recommend Devon Carter and Bond New York Estate

Kevin De La Cruz

Ariana and Casey are the BEST. I highly recommend using them if you need a place in NYC. They were quick, efficient and listened well!

Tahlia Burton

Showed up for an appointment, was told to fill out a very long form, then waited for 25 minutes. Finally left after my appointment apparently ghosted me. Front desk staff stared at me and said absolutely nothing as I said I had to leave. Very poor experience. Consider the time of the people you’re serving, especially during the work day.

Mark Lewis

This firm will have you register with them first, then you get bombarded with emails from their vendors trying to sell you their products. The office looks like a boiler room, rows of agents, not trustworthy people--stay away! Their "customer service" person got back to me after 2 months!

Steven Kalergios

Best agent around!!

Alyssa T

Beka was so helpful in the process of renting our first apartment in NYC. He knew the building/landlord well and helped answer all questions we had quickly. Also was easy to get a hold of and flexible with viewing times. The application process can always be stressful but he was very responsive which eased our minds while waiting for the approval. Thanks Beka! You were awesome.

Daniel Duncan

In a city bustling with energy and commotions finding an apartment can be very stressful. Arriannas insight and relations with apartment buildings management can make this process only easier. Her organized, calm, yet fierce deemer will ease the burden of running around wasting time looking at less than acceptable apartments. She will save you time and headaches, while working effortlessly to get you the absolute best apartment in the your expected time frame. Work with her and she will outline a direct plan of action for your New York City housing needs.

ANASTASIA ZHURAVLEVA

Kacy Worker was great! Extremely helpful and patient with me in this search.

Logan Crewss

I was new to working with Bond Realty but my overwhelming concerns were no more when I met Ariana and Kacy. New to the New York area. They worked hard to help me get everything I wanted and negotiated terms to fit my needs and wants. Great team and partnership they had. Couldn't have asked for better. Thank you again for your help!

Caitlin Kozlowski

After quite a few sub-par brokers, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop when I met Aubree and Justin - they were too good to be true (spoiler alert: my partner and I have happily moved into our new apartment and no other shoes have dropped). Aubree showed us apartments within our budget AND were what we were looking for (sometimes a tough combo!). In addition, they were very fast and responsive whenever we had questions. We met with Justin both to apply and sign the lease - he was patient, organized, and very helpful (and funny!). When I have friends who are moving, I will recommend them.

Christopher Hager

We had a great experience, thanks in large part to our agent Arianna Mamounas, who was professional and a pleasure to work with.

Alexandria Henke

My roommate and I have gone through Bond New York, specifically with Justin Duffy, for the past two apartment moves and will continue to do so every time our leases end! We have had wonderful experiences and both of our apartments have been everything we asked for and more. The process is much faster and more organized than I anticipated when moving to NYC and I could not recommend Bond and Justin more highly.

basalinas

Alice was very helpful in finding us an amazing Loft in Soho and took care of every step of the home search process, from looking at apartments all the way through to signing the lease. She was unlike all other brokers I have used in the past, who were too pushy and only focused on making a quick sale. She listened to all of our asks and wants, used her knowledge of the westside neighborhoods, and completely delivered for us. I would definitely recommend Alice!

Julian Williams

Extremely rude and weirdly forceful. This is just from an inquiry. Avoid maybe?

Jeffrey L

They are an Absolute disaster!! I responded to one of their apartments listed on STREET EASY to 2 listed agents one day...and after no response, to a 3rd agent 2 days later. I contacted them 3 different ways----by live phone contact, voice mail and text messages. NONE of the agents responded...except one who stated she would call or text back that evening with a viewing time for the apt. She did not call back that evening or the next day. Nothing. Avoid this company like the plague!

Denise Goldberg

Looking an Apartment in New York in a very affordable prices.

Brooke Holman

Bob Brooks has been fantastic to work with. He showed us three beautiful apartments, all in our preferred neighborhood and all in our price range, and was extremely accommodating - he even had his colleague, David, take us to see two of the places twice! I've seen a lot of terrible units during my apartment search, and every single place that Bob showed us was better than anything we saw elsewhere. In the end we rented a huge one-bedroom in Hell's Kitchen. Bob got us a great deal and has continued to be helpful even as we prepare to move, since he is so knowledgeable about the area. We're lucky to have found him!

Steven Burk

It was a great experience using Kacy Worker to help my client find a rental in midtown from South Florida. My referral clients were thrilled that Kacy found them the perfect rental well under their budget the day they arrived.

Christian Ferrulli

We’re pretty new to New York City estate market, being from Italy and in the city only two years and a half, and meeting people like Jill is lucky fate. She took good care of us, understanding our needs and immediately. Professional and empathic, getting in touch with a person like Jiss really makes a difference . Looking forward to seeing you soon Jill.

Naneh Mehrabi

Brilliant and professional service from Ariana

zannis margaronis

Wonderful experience with this firm and broker. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Great knowledge of the neighborhoods!!!

NESTOR KALERGIOS

Ariana helped my sister and I find an apartment together. She found us the coolest place in our budget and never tried to push us into spending more.

Sarah Huyck

Stay far far away from these incompetent people. They lie and cheat.

David Campos

Tatiana is the best agent in the world. She walked around all of Manhattan to help me find the best place.

Lana Pin

Really bad experience with broker Ric Salinas... Wouldn't recommend.

Carly Preusse

I could not have asked for a more honest, professional, or knowledgeable real estate broker upon my move to New York. Neither me nor my mother were familiar at all with the NYC real estate market; luckily, we had Justin Duffy to take care of us and I found the perfect apartment, a place I would never have found on my own! Justin was reliable, friendly, and easy to work with and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a real estate agent in NYC.

Katerina Kalergios

Great! Helped us find our dream place!

Fatima Johnson

Tatiana Castro-Acosta was such a patient and helpful real estate agent with my boyfriend and I. She was able to truthfully answer any questions we had, took us to multiple apartments in the same area (less walking) and was wven flexible with time, meeting us in the evening after work (6/7pm). She was well-versed on the areas and even told us about the history of some places. I will be recommending Tatiana to everyone who tells me they need help finding places in NYC.

terie margaronis

Ariana helped my son find a place when he first moved to New York from the UK. We were greatful for her professionalism, manners and prompt response. I would strongly recommend to fellow friends.

Mary Stackhouse

My daughter just finished her freshman year at NYU and her dorm situation for next year was untenable. With great apprehension, we began the search for an affordable apartment in the city. She had to do almost everything, as her father and I live 6000 miles away. Justin Duffy was helpful, easy to contact, professional, and efficient. He was transparent about the process and the fees involved, and all of his advice proved correct. I felt free to ask as many questions as necessary, and Justin answered my dozens of questions with a smile in his voice. Most importantly, my daughter felt comfortable with him and, happily, found the perfect apartment on her first day looking.

Beatriz Manzano

(Translated by Google) Very happy with the experience with Bond. We have the services of Yera and Gabriel and we could not be more satisfied. Both are very friendly and help you find what best suits your possibilities. We spent 3 days walking through Manhattan with Gabriel and we were surprised by good humor, patience, education, and all the things he told us about the different neighborhoods. Without a doubt, I advise you to hire them to find a flat in NYC! (Original) Muy contenta con la experiencia con Bond. Contamos con los servicios de Yera y Gabriel y no hemos podido quedar más satisfechos. Ambos son muy amables y te ayudan a encontrar lo que mejor se adapta a tus posibilidades. Pasamos 3 días caminando por Manhattan con Gabriel y no dejaba de sorprendernos el buen humor, paciencia, educación, y todas las cosas que nos contaba sobre los distintos barrios. Sin duda, aconsejo contratarles para buscar piso en NYC!

They are the shadiest rental brokers. They will charge you a 15% fee for apartments that are listed as no-fee apartments by the landlords. When confronted, that I have seen the apartment listed as no-fee on Craigslist that was being shown to me by Sam Kankalil on his computer, I was told about this elaborate story about how the landlord has given his cousin the right to rent all apartments and that he works as the broker and blah bla blah. My wife and I walked out of their office.. Stay away from these people. Do not pay a fee for No-Fee apartments.

Matthew Harris

Justin and Aubrey helped me to find the perfect apartment with all my requests. I always felt like they were on my team even after the lease was signed. They were efficient, kind, and had listings than I had seen with any other real estate agency. I'd refer them to anyone!

Kara Mercer

Justin Duffy was great! He made finding an apartment easy and painless. Renting an apartment in New York City can be challenging, but Justin made it simple. I am a graduate student and he was able to work with my situation and find me an apartment that was perfect for my needs. Plus he is genuinely a cool guy and fun to hang out with while home hunting. I would definitely recommend Justin!

Ryan Neal

When I decided to move to NYC all I heard were horror stories about finding apartments. Thankfully, my brother recommended that I work with Justin Duffy. Justin made the process simple and painless; the least arduous task in my move to Manhattan. I would recommend Justin Duffy to anyone new to New York City.

Kevin Wang

Great brokerage service. Ask for Phillip Gepty - he went out of his way to ensure a smooth transition given my tight window to move to NYC. Good and genuine dude.

Jason A. John

I had the wonderful experience of having Barbara Fears as my agent, after having a VERY stressful time looking for an apartment in NYC. Barbara was a breath of fresh air to say the least. In a market where agents are either fresh out of college, unprofessional, shifty, or just plain don't care, Barbara put them all to shame by being super attentive and understanding of our needs. They don't make too many like her, so I stress that anyone who is looking for an agent to put their full faith in Ms. Barbara Fears! I couldn't ask for a better professional and person to help me and family find a home. Thank you :-)

Kathryn Moton

In looking for an apartment in New York City, it began as a daunting task for my daughter and I, given we were from Arizona. We noticed a listing online by Justin Duffy, Bond New York Real Estate Broker. Justin quickly responded with an outline and information of what to expect. Within 24 hours his team contacted me and the ball was rolling. Aubree Brown reached out to me and she was amazing! We had several conversations on what to expect prior to our arrival. We looked at several places and picked one, did the paperwork with the team’s careful guidance and submitted the application. Approval was received within 24 hours! The process was smooth! The only advice I have to give is to make sure there is a corresponding bank available as ours was not and securing funds (money orders) through the post office proved frustrating as their debit card machine was not reading my card. The solution to that was my husband overnighted the certified checks via FedEx. The team supported us through the entire process. I definitely recommend Aubree Brown and Justin Duffy for your rental needs. They were polite, professional and patient. They know what they are doing. Kathryn Moton, July, 2018

Justin Duffy is beyond amazing!! I cannot say enough good things or thank him enough for everything he did for my son. After making three trips to NYC from Boston trying to secure an apartment in Manhattan for my son, and having no success with another realtor; on our fourth trip my son reached out to Justin Duffy and Linaris Rivera. From the moment he made contact and we visited them at their office, we knew we were in great hands. Justin listened intently to my son''s needs and scoured his listings for apartments that would fit his budget and geographic requirements. Justin had several listings and Linaris took us all over the East and West Villages showing us apartments. Linaris was so much fun to work with, she knows the city and its neighborhoods inside and out, and was able to answer all our questions. For the first time, we actually had a great time looking at apartments! Linaris stayed late into the evening to show the apartment my son is now renting, and Justin stayed extra late to help us through the application process. Justin was so attentive to our needs, our time constraints, and the fact that we were having to do this from Boston. Justin was in touch with us every day, keeping us informed of the status of our application and getting the lease overnighted to us for signatures. But it doesn''t end there! Justin was in touch with the management company for us to clear up a couple of questions we had, and he even arranged to pick up the keys for us and delivered them to us at the apartment on SUNDAY of Labor Day weekend! Unfortunately for Justin we were a couple of hours late getting into the city that day and it held him up from enjoying his long weekend - for which I apologize profusely. Justin has continued to follow up with me and my son to make sure that everything has been going as planned. I truly believe that if it had not been for Justin Duffy, my son would still be living in Boston! Thank you so much Justin!

Mohamed Aseel Hassan

Justin Duffy from Bond New York is a superstar! My wife & I moved to NYC late February and needed to find a place asap. Our requirements were not the easiest (short tenancy, location etc..) and we had spoken to a few agents before and were very nervous about the whole process. Then I came across Justin Duffy on one of the real estate websites and sent him and email. From get-go Justin was amazing! He was warm and friendly, very accommodating and extremely helpful. He had excellent knowledge of the city and very quickly pointed us to a few places we might like. In fact, the place we moved into (less than a week later!) was no.1 on the list Justin made for us. Justin went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure we were able to get the place. He did an amazing job speaking to the landlord and guarantors on our behalf and put an admirable effort until he was finally able to secure the apartment for us. Justin is down to earth, friendly, very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. Justin, thank you for making my wife & I feel welcome here in NYC and making one of the most difficult aspects of our trip so much easier. We saved a lot of stress and sleepless nights thanks to you.

Millimil Nunzi

As a mother assisting her son out of college (because of his busy work schedule) to secure a place in the city.. I was delighted to have Bobby Florian from Bond recommended to me! It was worth every penny as he stayed within budget and helped me feel confident in the process. Straight up New Yorker and pulled no punches.. A hiccup for the keys but no fault of his.... He waited patiently by my side till all was completed... Mom can rest! ;) .. I will recommend Bond and Bobby especially! His expertise made me feel at ease! Hamptons mom delighted with the end result.. <3!

Daisy Daeschler

Justin and Phillip helped me to find an apartment in the summer of 2017. I had previously reached out to Phillip quite early for my lease start date, but once the timing was better, he reached out to me pro-actively to begin my hunt for a new place. I had previously met with other realtors that I felt were trying to push me into signing for apartments I visited, but Phillip and Justin weren't like this. They were thoughtful in considering what I wanted, and presented me with a number of options when I met with them in-person. Then, we went to see a bunch of apartments, and I had luck by the 3rd option! Once I found somewhere I loved, they reviewed all my paperwork with me, went to the building management office with me to submit my application, and even sat with me through my lease signing. They were really helpful in answering all of my questions and making sure everything went smoothly. Phillip even delivered my deposit checks to the management company for me when I had a work event and couldn't bring them myself. Overall, I had a great experience working with these two and love my new place.

Ariana was key in helping me find my apartment!! Very diligent and informative.

Ashley Brooke

Kacy is wonderful to work with, she pays close attention to detail and understands the needs and wants of her clients.

Kara Macdonald

Very Helpful, quick to communicate and did everything they could to get us the apartment we wanted. We would use them again

I have had the pleasure of working with Deborah Abraham for over 15 years. She has always proven to be professional, hard working, sincere, creative and personable. Her ability to work effectively with potential clients, property managers and staff and fellow colleagues is nothing short of remarkable. Over the years, Deborah has successfully rented an apartment I own in the West Village and has found wonderful two month summer renters for my home in Chelsea. I wholeheartedly recommend Deborah and look forward to working with her in the future.

Ariana Mamounas

Kacy is an amazing person to work with. She really puts her heart into helping someone find the perfect place and makes a point of giving any client as much information as possible. I could not recommend her more.

Oscar Marengo

I was really troubled looking for a place to stay in the SoHo area just for 6 months. Justin and Phillip were really welcoming and fast finding me a place. On the same day I was signing the papers. Truly, I didn't expect such results. Tremendously glad I went to them.

Tom Smith is an excellent agent and goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. Highly recommend

Katie O'Sullivan

Justin Duffey and Phil Gepty were incredible assets in finding the perfect apartment. They guided us through the process and really took the time to understand my wants & needs. I absolutely recommend Bond to all!

Ofelia Mangen

Kristine DeVine has restored my faith in NYC brokers! Every aspect of my experience with her has been pleasant. She's helpful, informative and friendly — all things you learn not to expect when apartment-hunting in NYC. Kristine will be my first call when I'm ready for my next move.

Cristy Dominguez

Justin Duffy and Aubree Brown went above and beyond in helping me to find the perfect apartment in the city! They were very thorough, professional and supportive throughout the process. They prioritized my needs and desires and made sure to fulfill them to the best of their ability. They were also very quick to respond to emails which I found to be rare when working with other realtors. Justin and Aubree played a significant role in making a dream of moving to the city a reality without having to settle for an unfavorable living environment. They have my highest recommendation and I could not thank them enough for their dedication to my satisfaction. You will not be disappointed!
