Hi Eli, I didn't think it was possible to actually trust a broker in NYC, but after meeting Eli, it became clear that he had our best interest in mind. He was able to find the perfect apartment for us and was completely flexible and understanding throughout the entire process. I will definitely be recommending him to friends who are apartment hunting! Thanks, Bridgette _____________________________________ _____________________________________ __ Hi Eli, After dealing with a seemingly never-ending trail of unscrupulous brokers, working with Eli to find our new home was a much needed breath of fresh air. He was direct, helpful, and truly on our side. We will certainly be working with him again in the future. Take Care, Seth ______________________________________ _________________________________________ Hi Eli, I appreciated that you were not pushy and did not put pressure on us. You were also very quick to respond to emails and phone calls, no matter what time it was. Ian _______________________________________ _________________________________________ Hey Eli "Besides being professional, knowledgeable & reliable, Eli made the apartment hunting experience extremely comfortable from start to finish." Jason Acevedo ______________________________________ _________________________________________ Hi Eli, All is well in the new place! We could not be happier. Despite the unavoidable stress of moving, Eli was a guidance and support throughout our apartment search. He listened carefully to us, as he showed us apartment after apartment, and took in to consideration our thoughts on each place before showing us the next one in order to ensure our wants were being met and our time was not being wasted. When the "perfect" apartment came up, he did not hesitate, he acted to get it for us, and because of that, we really did end up with the perfect place to call our home. ~Kathryn _______________________________________ ________________________________________ Hi Eli, "Eli really went the extra mile. He found us the perfect apartment and helped us through the application process. A great ally to have." Hope this helps and all is well with you and yours. -Jacob _____________________________________ ________________________________________ Hi Eli: Sorry this has taken me so long. We were relocating from out of state so we were concerned that we wouldn't be able to find an apartment with all of the amenities we wanted. We worked with at least three other agents until we found Eli. He really listened to what we wanted and in the end found us a great, affordable apartment within the parameters we had set. NHB, Upper East Side Take care, Nicole _______________________________________ ________________________________________ Hi Eli, Hope you had a great holiday dinner! I just wanted to Thank You for all the work you had put into finding Chris and I an apartment. I know that we weren’t the easiest clients to work with at times but we truly appreciated all the waiting and late nights you gave in order to accommodate our difficult work schedule. Best of luck to you and I wish nothing but endless clients and large commissions!!!! You are now “my real estate guy” in NYC! Sam _______________________________________ ________________________________________ On behalf of Stuart and I just wanted to say thanks again for your help with finding a great place.

He kept me informed, educated me and handled all negotiations very professionally. I am a demanding client and I am very happy working with him.     ...:':......:':......:':...     My roommates and I were looking for a 3 BR apt in the Gramercy/Flatiron area. This, being my third apartment search, I was quite familiar with how difficult it is to find a good apartment in NYC and the right broker. Through Alpha Properties, we worked with Tom Beron who blew away all our expectations. Not only did he find us a great a place at a very reasonable price, but he was very easy to work with. Throughout our search and application process he was very patient, never pushy, and always seemed to be working for our best interests. He had a lot of good listings to show us and worked with all our needs to ensure we would get the place we wanted. It was great having Tom as a broker and I would recommend him to anyone else looking for an apartment in NYC.     ...:':......:':......:':...     I have recommended Ohav to every single person I know who needs a broker in Manhattan. We all know how grueling of a process apartment searching in NY can be..Ohav made it a breeze!!! He found me the perfect apartment..and within 3 hours of meeting him I was ready to put down my deposit! Unlike most pestering brokers who push you to fill things out because they claim "someone else has applied," Ohav was extremely honest and helpful in both the application process and the lease signing. He even kept in contact over my moving process to make sure things went smoothly. Very amazing guy and broker-I recommend Alpha Properties specifically because of Ohav.     ...:':......:':......:':...     "From my first meeting with Gili, she has worked tirelessly to find out exactly what I was looking for, and to find a suitable 1 bedroom apartment that I can call my home. She is cheerful and energetic, and most accomodating with my hectic and unpredictable schedule. She has gone above and beyond to survey a great area of Manhattan (the entire East side), for a suitable apartment and then arranged a well-strategized viewing schedule. Most importantly, she is very considerate and did not push for an immediate decision on the apartments that we viewed, but instead offered her thoughtful opinion on the lag between an apartment getting on the market and then becoming occupied. It did happen that an apartment that I really liked was already taken by the time I gathered the application paperword. Gili was amazing and put forth extreme efforts to make sure that I finally got a similar apartment, in the same building. Finally, she helped with the application procedure which went very smooth. All in all, Gili was tremendously helpful, finding us an apartment in a very short time frame, given my extreme schedule restrictions, and she did it cheerfully and light heartedly. I can say that she can easily rival and real estate agent featured in House Hunters".     ...:':......:':......:':...     Nirel, I just wanted to thank you for making this search such a pleasant and smooth process to go through. You are such a pleasure to work with and I will definitely send your contact information to friends that are in the process of looking for apartments going forward. I wish you all the best! Thanks again Marta :-) ______________________________________________________________________________ Hey Sunny, I emailed you a few weeks ago because I wanted to begin looking for an apartment. Nirel Levi contacted me and helped me through this process. I wanted to let you know what a great job she did and how happy I am with the end result! The apartment she helped me find is exactly what I was looking for. My schedule is very difficult to work around and Nirel always found time to show me listings on the weekend and to keep me up-to-date on openings. She was very quick to respond to my emails and inquiries, and I really appreciate that. Nirel definitely went above and beyond. I thought you should know that I will definitely recommend using her services to friends who are looking to move. Thank you very much. Regards, Gregory L. Bronson _______________________________________________________________________________ Dear Sunny, I am writing to you to complement one of your employees, Ms Nirel Levi. Ms Levi helped me to find an apartment recently and I just wanted to let you know that she went above and beyond. I am living in New York since 2003 and changed apartments 3 times already. This time my apartment search was certainly the most successful and comfortable one thanks to Nirel Levi. She took an extensive amount of time to show me and my friend 3 different apartments. Since we could not decide, we had to go back and forth and Nirel Levi was patiently waiting until we could finally decide. Mrs Levi was very supportive and gave us professional advice on the pros and cons of the apartment. She was in no way pushy or impatient to close the deal but advised us to decide fast in order to secure the apartment. This is a very rare attribute in real estate brokers.......... Furthermore I just received a phone call today from her again to follow up how the apartment feels. This type of service and care is very difficult to find these days in New York. Working myself in the luxury service industry, I can only highly recommend Ms Levi to any future clients of your company. Please pass my thanks on to her as well. All my best to you for a successful 2008. Sincerely, Marcel Thoma | Front Office Manager The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Dear Nirel, I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and effort over the past couple of days.

Once we picked an apartment, she laid out the process in simple terms and guided us through every step, keeping us updated as she put in our application. I would strongly recommend her as a real estate agent. Thanks! Sachi _______________________________________ Dear Gili, "I had a great experience working with Gili during my apartment search. She was very flexible with my schedule, and she showed me places that were in my price range, and just what I was looking for. She works harder than all of the other brokers I have worked with, and listens to find you the perfect apartment!"     ...:':......:':......:':...     Hi Sunny, Carlos has been extremely helpful with aiding us in the process of finding a suitable apartment. Because of our specific requirements, our choices in apartment spaces were limited, however Carlos went out of his way to accommodate all our needs. Thanks to his dedication, Carlos ended up finding us the perfect apartment and I would highly recommend him in the future. Best Regards, Blair Goldman     ...:':......:':......:':...     Israel is the one of the most talented and dedicated real estate agents (or professionals for that matter) that I have ever met. He knows Manhattan like the back of his hand and always goes the extra mile. NYC is a very difficult place to find real estate for rent or sale if you don''t know what you are doing -- I can''t recommend Israel enough.     ...:':......:':......:':...     "Dafna was an amazing asset in our search for our perfect apartment. She went out of her way to make sure that the broker process was simple enough for us to complete as a full time student and full time lawyer with little free time. The entire arrangement was always transparent and 6 months after signing our lease, I still recommend her to friends." Afrodet Zuri Best, Afrodet _______________________________________ • To Whom it may concern, I am writing in regards about your employee Dafna. I Had the pleasure in working with her on finding my new apartment back in November. She was so accommodating in showing the apartment I wanted to see. Dafna is great with people and made me feel comfortable in making a very big decision. She is timely, professional, and knowledgeable about her field of work. I am very lucky to have worked with her and super pleased about my living situation and how it all came to fruition. I would recommend Dafna to anyone who is looking for an apartment. Regards, Sarah Yurich _______________________________________ This was my first apartment by myself, so naturally I had all sorts of weird requirements, silly questions, and tons of hesitation in signing a lease. Dafna was very understanding, and she was more than willing to show me one particular apartment more than once. I had actually met her a few weeks ago when she showed me another apartment that didn't work out. Out of all the brokers in the city, I guess I was really meant to rent from her! I knew I had to have the apartment as soon as Dafna showed it to me, and she was very helpful in making that happen. We rushed to her office as soon as I decided, and I was out of there in under an hour. When there was a slight snag in the management company's scheduling, Dafna was very responsive, and worked with me as much as she could to come up with a viable solution. I love my apartment now, and Dafna is to thank! _______________________________________ Dear Dafna - You assisted us with getting an apartment for my daughter, Casey (Katherine) Smart, at Mulberry Street, and on which I am a co-signer. However, neither of us received a copy of the signed lease and I am writing to you now to ask that you send a copy to me at: Cynthia Smart Smart Legal Assistance 701 4th Ave. S. Suite 201 Minneapolis, MN 55415 She loves the apartment! Our compliments and thanks for your excellent, swift, professional and friendly service! Happy Spring!
