This will be my third year renting in the Upper West Side, and I've worked with two other brokers previously who had completely overwhelmed me to say the least. Being a doctor I have very little time to spare and Sam got straight to the point. Showed me literally three apartments all which sparked my interest, no beating around the bush, and one of those apartments being "the one". The least I could do was give him this review. Thanks Sam!

Rewind a couple of months: my husband, my two small dogs and I needed to relocate from North Carolina to NY, and after the initial excitement over living somewhere new, we were struck with terror at the prospect of finding a place to live in a city that neither one of us knew very well. We spent hours searching on Craigslist, looking at various housing listing websites, finally finding Naked Apartments which comes highly recommended by Time Out and The New York Times! However we were getting increasingly discouraged at the prospect of finding a suitable apartment from afar. Running across the reviews for City Stop Realty we did a quick search on the website and felt they were legit. Well, I can't tell you how thankful we are that we dialed that number. In our initial phone conversation, Sam took time asking questions about our requirements and actually listening to what we said. We had several specific needs. Over the course of two trips to the Upper West Side area, Sam took us around to a *wide* range of different properties, all of which fit the basic criteria we had laid out. Having previously dealt with brokers in New York City, I was absolutely shocked to find that he had actually listened to what I said, and that he realized that if I was happy, that meant more likely business for him. I never once felt pressured, ignored, or that I was being annoying. Instead, he showed us different sizes, styles and different prices. Presently, we are currently sitting in our new Upper West Side apartment great location and great ambiance. I honestly didn't think we were going to find anything at one point. Overwhelmed by all the options. I honestly couldn't recommend Sam's service more highly.
