I found my current rental in Midtown thanks to Nick at Elegran. While I know I put him through hell with my pickyness, he never once flipped out and was consistently patient with all my demands. Thank you so much, Nick! You know you'll be the first guy I call when I decide to move :)

I couldn't be any happier with my new apartment. I was trying to rent a place for over 6 months. Dealt with so many brokers / agents and most of them couldn’t get me in and some didn’t even responded back once I told them I am on commission only. Being medical device specialist for fortune 100 company I make well over the minimum amount needed but it’s all commission. That did not stop Pia!!!! Within one week, she had me in an amazing apartment corner unit on W 50th Street, one block away from Theater District, Hell’s Kitchen and Times Square. I have and will continue to recommend Pia to all my friends and anyone looking for an apartment or looking to buy their own place! THANK YOU PIA!!!

Find an apt in NYC can get people frustrated, but with Elijah's help, I literally enjoyed my apt-hunting process. Elijah is professional and detail-oriented. 雖然與國語中介的溝通會比較容易，我還是會建議大家在找房子的過程中多多嘗試美國的中介公司。就我自己的經驗來說，Elegran房源十分廣，會有許多國語中介公司提供不了的私人房源。

I've lived in New York my entire life and have never owned an apartment untill now. Let me tell you, buying a different ballgame compared to renting here, and Dave at Elegran really helped out along the way. I knew I wanted to end up in lower Manhattan and had a sizable, if not, extravagant budget to work with. Dave and the rest of the staff at Elegran were extremely hands on and worked directly with me to find my place in the East Village. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Ugonna Onyekwe at Elegran was a pleasure to work with for our office rental search. He helped us find a beautiful penthouse office space very quickly that met all of our criteria: budget, location, size, amenities, and lease terms. Ugonna took time to thoroughly understand our needs and priorities and remained in close touch through our search with updates on new available properties and updates. He was very flexible and understanding of our busy startup schedule. Ugonna's a great overall guy, very friendly and professional. I'd highly recommend him.

Ugonna Onyekwe did a perfect job when he asked in detail which criteria were important for me while searching for an apt. in NY and sending me an excellent 11MB 27 page file of matching apartments with real pictures and all necessary information. Although I had a very good idea of the available options having lived here before, having worked with several other agents and having researched the offerings for months, it was a pleasure to see such a precise overview. When meeting Ugonna, it was also a very pleasant surprise that he is the kind, patient, knowledgeable and honest professional which you hope to meet when you look for a place. He had organized three appointments for the apartments I selected and everything was perfectly organized. If you want to enjoy your apartment search, call Ugonna. I will certainly recommend him to other friends and colleagues.

What can I say? Everyone at Elegran got the job done for me. I ended up in a great two bedroom in the Upper East Side and in about half the time I had budgeted.

Working with Ugonna Onyekwe was really fantastic. I was living in MA when I first started my apartment search so I emailed him about what I was looking for and specified my price range ($2000-$3000) for a studio / 1 BDR. I used to live on the UES but upon moving back, was open to living in different areas of Manhattan. He immediately put together an organized 20 page PDF of listings with large detailed photos, descriptions, and lists of amenities, etc. I was looking for an apartment in a clean, new, well-managed building and one that would have significant amounts of sunlight with granite/marble countertops, lots of closet space and a nice modern kitchen etc . I knew right away that we were on exactly the same page and that he understood what I was looking for. The listings were fantastic - I loved a number of the floor plans and ended up settling on a place proximate to my office in Midtown East. The studio I am in now is much better than the 1 Bedroom apartment I used to be in (in a co-op), although the rent is certainly comparable. The management in the building is wonderful; work orders I submitted through the portal have been attended to within an hour and at the latest, by the next day. The layout of the apartment is impeccable - the apartment is south facing and the huge windows flood the apartment with light. I do a lot of cooking and the closed-off kitchen (vs open kitchen) is a huge plus for a studio. Given the fact that I was juggling graduate school exams and applications during the time of my apartment search, I was relieved to have found someone who narrowed down all the options and filtered out listings to the absolute best ones available prior to me making a trip to Manhattan to view them. Ugonna was remarkably patient, professional, sharp and responsible throughout the process. He was easy to get in touch with, easy to work with, and really on top of things. He knew intuitively whether something would work or not and whenever I brought up a point, he really took the time to listen. I was unable to be in Manhattan to sign my lease and he took charge, conferred with the management office, and had them FedEx Overnight it to my home. The final authorization process for the building was quite convoluted and he was prompt about bringing things to my attention and resolving them. I was grateful for that level of professionalism and excellence. Ugonna was willing to go above and beyond expectations to find an apartment that fit my criteria and that type of dedication is noteworthy. I would highly recommend him for your next purchase, sale, or rental in the city.

Me encanto trabajar con Ugonna Onyekwe. Es un muchacho joven y elegante. Sabe mucho de la ciudad de NY y realmente, fue un placer tenerlo como mi agente asesor en el proceso de búsqueda de un apartamento.

I am grateful to have met Meena Ziabari, she made an excellent job in helping me found a house while I was out of the country. I was told that finding an apartment in NYC was a very difficult and exhausting process but it was really easy and quick to find it thanks to her. She took the time to really listen and understand what I was looking for. I highly recommend her professionalism and knowledge of the market.

Elijah Brown was truly awesome to work with. He's super friendly, professional, plus quick and easy to communicate with. I honestly feel that I would not have gotten my dream apartment if it wasn't for his persistent follow through with the owner in getting our application to be chosen. All in all I couldn't recommend him(and Elegran) more!

Anna Fields

A+. These guys were prepared, knowledgeable and always presented themselves with the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new apartment in Manhattan.

I was in the market for a new apartment rather unexpectedly and was on a tight schedule as well as a fixed budget. As a free lancer in the city, getting an apartment is not exactly easy. I contacted Ugonna Onekwe, after looking at a few apartments with another broker and I really feel like he took my particular situation into account and worked hard to find me the right place. I gave him my specifics and he did all the legwork, contacting me within a few days with appointments lined up to see 4-5 places. Each of the buildings he took me to were exactly the feel I was looking for, and there was a decent range of layouts and views and neighborhoods to choose from. I picked one of the buildings he showed me and he helped me get all the necessary paperwork in order, as well as presenting me with options for dealing with my free lance status as a renter. The whole process was easy and Ugonna really helped me to feel at peace and comfortable during what was feeling like a very stressful time. I have already referred one friend to him and will gladly refer friends when I hear they are in the market for a new place.

Elegran is truly a 5-star Real Estate Agency! My girlfriend and I moved to NYC from Ohio with very little knowledge of the New York market. We originally met with a different broker who tried to take advantage of us by attempting to charge us double commission. Luckily we were able to part ways and team up with Elijah Brown. Elijah is spectacular! When we met, he was very honest and upfront with us right away. He educated us on the NY market and his broker costs. We then gave Elijah one day to find us our dream apartment within our demanding specifications, and he DELIVERED! Elijah was very professional and personable. I would highly recommend Elijah Brown and Elegran to next of kin!

I could not be more pleased with my experience looking for an apartment in Manhattan with Daniel Chun at Elegran. Though I was working with a tight schedule, he was able to line up apartments that were within my preferred location and price range. Daniel coordinated everything ahead of time and was on point; all the apartments that we looked at fit my specifications and were scheduled with maximum efficiency so as to be able to see as much as possible with my limited schedule. In one afternoon, I was able to select a great apartment and had a fun time in the process!

I highly recommend working with Ugonna Onyekwe! He exudes professionalism, knowledge of the market, and took the time to really listen to and understand what was important to me in a home. He was patient in helping me understand the market and found me exactly what I was looking for AND in my price range. Working with Ugonna made my whole apartment hunting experience, which can usually be daunting, run smoother and less stressful. I'd definitely suggest using a broker, especially Ugonna, to find your place. He gets the job done while maintaining his laid back personality. If I move again I'll 100% seek his help.
