Samia Akodu

Samia was dedicated, knowledgeable and genuine. We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with her. My boyfriend and I had called at least 20 different brokers in search of an apartment within a very *specific* budget and area of Manhattan. As luck would have it, we found Samia by chance who got back to us in no time whatsoever and immediately began narrowing down our search by both taking down our conscious wants and needs and paying attention to us while we spoke to get a good gauge of what was a possibility. Samia made an extremely engaging effort to make sure that our dream apartment became a possibility - and eventually a reality. "Eventually" is the wrong word to use considering it only took us FOUR DAYS while working with her to find, apply, and sign the lease for the perfect apartment. Working with Samia was like having a good friend with you who has your best interest at heart, understands where you are coming from, and can help insightfully guide you to what you're looking for. We strongly recommend and plan to work with her again on future apartment searches.

Recently, I had to move out of my apartment pretty quickly to move back to Virginia. I had to break my lease and my landlord said that if it was rented before I moved out he would give me back my security deposit. Samia was absolutely wonderful!! She quickly got the place rented and saved me a ton of money! Also, she was great to work with. She was very good about letting me know when they would be showing the place and helping me get in contact with the new tenants and even helped me sell some of my furniture! It's always refreshing to meet someone in New York City that is as sweet and professional as Samia was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone if you are looking to rent your place or looking for a new home!

Samia is a fantastic broker. She is very driven and definitely went the extra mile for us. After we had seen a few very nice apartments that weren't perfect fits she called us on a Friday evening, when she was off, to tell us that she'd found the one. We saw it on Saturday, and were working out a lease by the next week. We are in the middle of a two-year lease and couldn't be happier, we will probably renew.
