Izzy was great! Very responsive to our inquiries, and he helped us along the renting process all the way. Was really helpful in communicating with all 3 renters and made it as smooth as possible. We got the apartment and love it.
Izzy couldn't have been a better solution to my immediate move across the country. He was incredibly insightful, professional, and helpful. Coming from Los Angeles in a matter of days, Izzy helped make it all possible. I ended up going with an apartment we didn't even have an appointment to see initially, but based on my preferences, he brought me to another apartment and I knew immediately it was the one. He made the whole process efficient and painless- made sure all paperwork was simple to understand, completed, and good to go. Izzy is incredibly easy to get along with and gets the job done!
Izzy is curteous, patient, responsive, and very knowledgeable about all the apartments he shows. He is not pushy and is also very good at listening and getting a sense of what the client wants. The only reason I did not get an apartment through him is because I ended up renewing my current lease for financial reasons. I would definitely work with him in the future and have already recommended him to a friend.
Izzy was more than great; he went out of his way to make sure I had all of the correct paperwork to successfully lock down the apartment I was hoping for. Would definitely recommend him to any folks looking for a future apartment.
Izzy was great to work with! He found me a great apartment within my price range. He was very helpful and patient through the whole renting process, and was quick to respond to any questions.
Izzy was patient and willing to show me several units he thought would be a good fit for my budget and preferences. He was so great to work with!
Never responded to my inquiry.
To be short, I had less than a week to find an apartment and be moved in. Izzy found a place, got the paperwork through quickly and made what was a stressful move easy.
Izzy is an outstanding agent. Responsive and professional, and takes time to show you the apartment he thinks will click with you. Highly recommend working with Izzy. Thanks Izzy!
Izzy is a fantastic person to work with. Very transparent about everything to do with the apartment. No BS and straight to the point. Very easy to work with and all around great guy.
Izzy was prompt, communicative, thorough and very pleasant. He found me multiple apartments that suited a list of desires I expressed to him. Any time a new one meeting my needs would pop up he'd text me right away. Overall, it was a great experience. Ultimately, I found an apartment outside of Izzy's listings but I'm certain Izzy would have found me one if I hadn't.
Izzy is wonderful. He showed me places that weren't yet listed, and when the place I wanted was initially snatched up, he took an evening to take me to several spots that were in the exact ballpark of what I was looking for. When I put down my deposit and signed for a place, he was extremely good at communicating my needs with the management, and I'm so happy with how everything worked out. Thanks Izzy!
Izzy was very attentive and accommodating, I highly recommend him.
Izzy was incredibly pleasant, responsive and professional from A-Z. It was our first experience with a broker in NYC and we would not hesitate to go back to Izzy if we ever need to find a new apartment. He listened to what we were looking for and we never felt rushed or pressured and he always seemed genuine and interested in finding a good fit for us. Thanks!
Izzy was a fantastic agent to work with from the start. He would respond to inquiries over text and email within minutes and was very attentive to our needs. We managed to view, apply for, and sign for an apartment within 48 hours!
Everything went very smoothly, from his initial contact to lease signing. Izzy communicated thoroughly through the entire process - and after.
Not only did Izzy find us the perfect apartment on the first night we went searching, but when our landlord was slacking to make repairs, Izzy made the call and within two days the landlord sent someone. Izzy goes above and beyond the call of duty and really had our backs. I cannot recommend him enough.

Izzy was quick to respond and very straightforward about the apartment. He made every step of the process, from looking at the apartment to signing the lease, easy and accommodating.
Everything you read in the reviews is accurate. Izzy is friendly, responsive, honest, flexible, and great to work with. Absolutely would recommend working with him.
Izzy showed me several apartments in the Crown Heights area, but my budget meant the locations weren't exactly what I was looking for. When I described what I wanted to Izzy, he showed me an apartment in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, a neighborhood I didn't know about. It was a true one-bedroom, fit my budget, and had bars/restaurants/stores around, which is exactly what I was looking for.
Izzy Pruss is the best agent probably ever. His charm is only surpassed by his ability to find you and amazing home. I would need more characters to go into detail about this man's professionalism. To say the very least, I would highly recommend using him as an agent if you're interested in renting an apartment. In all seriousness I'm very happy with the place I'm renting and Izzy was extremely helpful in assisting me specifically as someone moving to NY for the first time. He made the process swift and easy. 10/10 would recommend.
Izzy was extremely responsive and easy to work with, and went above and beyond to help me find an amazing apartment. He was very transparent and patient (never tried to pressure me into taking anything I was less than thrilled with), and stayed in touch even after move in to make sure everything went smoothly. I credit him completely with making a stressful process so much easier and getting me into an apartment I love - I highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent in Brooklyn!
Responsive, helpful, and honest. Izzy was great and if in the market again, I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch. The process from first contact to signing the lease was quick and professional. An excellent experience.
Izzy was great and extremely easy to work with. He answered all my questions immediately and was extremely responsive over email, texts, and calls. I would recommend him to anyone and definitely work with him again.
It's been a year since we moved in, and we're still suuuper happy with the apartment Izzy found for us (my wife and I). When we asked other agents/agencies for what we wanted, they told us "that doesn't exist" and one Brooklyn-based agency literally laughed at my wife when she went to them in person.

Izzy responded very quickly and addressed any concerns I had in an upfront and honest manner. He listened to what I was looking for in an apartment and was able to show me listings that matched.
Izzy was great to work with. He responded quickly, listened to what we wanted, and found us the perfect apartment in record time.
My friend recommended Izzy and unfortunately I didn't end up being able to use Izzy's services to the fullest because of personal apt issues. However, if I were ever to do this process again, Izzy is the first one I would reach out to. He was incredibly responsive and easy to contact. You could tell he was good at his job and truly worked to help the client find the best place but never put his job before being a human being. A genuine, down to earth kind of human being. Definitely would and will recommend!
Izzy was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was extremely timely with communication and was very patient in answering all questions that came up as we were an out of state move. He was willing to accommodate our needs, and if he didn't have an answer right away he always looked into it and followed up. He was kind and transparent which was a breath of fresh air during an already stressful time. I would highly recommend working with him, and would work with him myself again in the future.
Izzy was really understanding and accomodating of our needs and wants. He helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for and stuck to showing us places that fit that criteria.
Izzy was wonderful! Responded quickly and was very flexible with when I was available to view apartments. He even took videos for me as to save me time.
Izzy was very helpful and courteous. He understood our requirements, and made sure we were the first to see an apartment that fit what we wanted! We appreciated his liaising with the building management. Thanks!
Izzy made the whole process so easy, from finding places for me look at through signing the lease. I appreciated how he listened to what I was looking for and was transparent throughout about what was available.
Izzy did a great job. He understands what his responsibilities as a broker are and executes them effectively. He was straightforward and worked with us through an intense application process, and he also gave us good advice before we started looking at apartments. This was our first time looking for an apartment in NY, and we did feel a little rushed during the process... but that may just be the way the NYC market works. When dealing with Izzy (or any broker for that matter), it's important to communicate clearly your timeline and needs, because there are always places available, and your broker can do their job better with these specifics set early on.
I had a great experience renting an apartment from Izzy. The process was fast, simple, and professional. This was my fourth time renting a NYC apartment and it was by far the best.
Izzy is the real deal. I've met dozens of agents in my 4 years of living and renting in NYC, and Izzy has been by far the best. From his initial email, to scheduling the viewing, then going through the entire application process, Izzy was transparent, communicative, friendly, and really went the extra mile to help us land our new place. Brick & Galo is a name you can trust. Thanks Izzy!
Working with Izzy was a great experience. He was clear, communicative, forthright, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. I always felt he truly had my and my roommate's best interest at heart and worked sincerely to secure the apartment for us. He was always available to address any questions or concerns and was very organized throughout the entire rental process. We are forever grateful to him for helping us secure our apartment, which we love.
Izzy was a pleasure to work with. After meeting with multiple agents and talking over the phone with countless others I was so pleasantly impressed with how cool, calm, and collected Izzy was. He was straight forward and never feed us bs to get us to sign the lease. He was professional, fun, and I would absolutely recomend anyone looking for an apartment to work with Izzy.

Izzy has been wonderful to work with. He is quick to respond, answers all of our questions, and helps liaise with the landlord to make our new rent as smooth as possible. We would recommend working with him!
Izzy is the first realtor that we really liked (we've seen many!)! He didnât try to sell us some particular apartments, but he really tried to find a perfect place for us. He always asked what we liked about an apartment he showed us, and what we donât - then he showed variants that fitted our needs.
We viewed multiple apartments with Izzy, and he was always timely, courteous, and forthcoming. In addition, he showed clear interest in our apartment search and found multiple additional listings for us to peruse that we had not found ourselves. Overall, we had a great experience with Izzy, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment.
Izzy had good communication and made sure that minor cosmetic repairs were addressed even after I had signed the lease. Good with text, which is a plus for me because I don't like talking on the phone.
Izzy was very responsive, friendly and incredibly easy to work with. He answered all of our questions honestly, which was super helpful having just moved to New York and being unfamiliar with the process. I'd definitely recommend him!
Izzy made the whole process of renting an apartment very easy and stress free. Always answered emails and texts immediately, and knowing that I was in a rush to move in, made it happen quickly and easily. He was very honest and straightforward and I felt like I could trust him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent in Brooklyn.
Izzy was fantastic! He made the entire New York City apartment search experience a positive one. He was always responsive, available, and courteous -- he was always happy to answer any questions I had. If you need a trustworthy broker, he's your guy!
Izzy helped me find an apartment in Brooklyn. He always returned calls and texts and answered questions quickly. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment.
Izzy was great to work with; he responded very quickly to me throughout the process and got me through the stresses of finding an apartment with ease! would use him again in the future!
I am a resident of Southern California but my daughter attends NYU and I was in need of an apartment for her, as she has decided to live in NYC after her upcoming graduation. I was fortunate to find Izzy early in the process, as he turned out to be of great help navigating the bi-coastal logistics and very understanding of my circumstance. He was straightforward and honest, always on point with next steps and very responsive to my inquiries during the application process. I would highly recommend Izzy.
Izzy was great to work with and made finding an apartment under bad circumstances a much less stressful experience for us.
Izzy was amazing! Even though we didn't end up renting from him, he was very cool and charming and listened to all of our picky needs to show us great apartments. He made the process of searching comfortable and enjoyable. I recommend!
Izzy is amazing! Straight to the point, friendly, and informed about neighborhoods. My fiancé and I rented an apartment with Izzy and it took us a total of 3 days before we got our keys and were ready to move in. Izzy is on point with communication and very professional and helpful.
Izzy was helpful, timely, easy to work with, and we got the apartment we were looking for!
SOOOO helpful and accommodating. Didn't feel like I had to hound him down regarding the status of my application. I had just got screwed over by another realtor and was in a rush to move; he got things done in 2 days.
Was a little early but he was very helpful
Izzy is a fantastic agent. He responds quickly and is dedicated to helping you find the perfect apartment for your budget and needs. It was a pleasure working with him!

I worked with Izzy while looking for an apartment in Brooklyn. He was very responsive, flexible with timing and overall very easy to work with. I was confident that everything was taken care of while applying for the apartment and appreciative that he made the process so smooth. I have heard nightmares about renting apartments in NYC, but I had a great experience thanks to Izzy!
Izzy goes above and beyond! if your looking for an apartment and a trust worthy agent look no further! Izzy worked magic i swear! I did all my apartment searching from another state and never was actually able to back it to NY until the date I moved into an apartment I had never seen in person. Izzy did nothing short of making the search and move-in as easy and as stressless as possible. He never ignored any text/email/call and was very quick with responses! Izzy won't get you into a house/apartment, he will get you into a home.
Izzy was professional and friendly -- efficient, to the point, and very happy to work with us to make sure we understood everything. The process couldn't have been smoother. Would absolutely rent from him again, and will be recommending him to friends and family!
Though I did not end up booking with Izzy, I would have no hesitation in working with him in the future. He is honest, kind, smart, and not pushy, unlike most broker's I've worked with. I would happily recommend him and go to him myself in the future if I am ever looking for apartments again. Thank you Izzy!
Would recommend without hesitation. Very responsive, and available to meet at my convenience. Made sure everything was ready for move in. The experience and process of moving was seamless.
Izzy was great. He helped me find a great apartment for a good price I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. He was very helpful throughout the process and responded to all of my questions promptly and politely.
Izzy was great!! He found the perfect apartment for my roommate and I. He worked with our budget, and specific requests. Very reliable!
Izzy found us an apartment we never would have found on our own. He's also a really nice guy and very willing to answer questions. I only took off a star because of a few minor communications about meeting times, but overall a very good experience.
Izzy was really helpful and worked with me when it came to gathering the proper paperwork. Nice guy, would recommend.
We were working with a handful of brokers, but Izzy was always on the ball, always on the lookout for apartments that fit our criteria, and eventually came through with an apartment that hit every one of our criteria--in a word, the perfect apartment. The entire process, from application to signing, was a breeze. We found Izzy straightforward, likable, professional, and very diligent. He was happy to show us a dozen apartments and would have happily shown us a dozen more. We never felt pressured, and Izzy never acted put out, which made the experience of apartment hunting surprisingly pleasant, all things considered. I'd recommend Izzy to anyone looking to get exactly the apartment they want.
To put it quite simply, Izzy is the THE BEST BROKER IN BROOKLYN. He is responsive, straightforward, highly connected, listens to you when you describe what you're looking for and doesn't waste your time showing you things you wont like, and he found us the BEST APT ever and I'm so excited and grateful he was our broker. Everything went smoothly and I would recommend him to anybody.
Izzy is very responsive, patient and respectful and has access to lots of great listings. Finding and renting a place with him was a real pleasure and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
After contacting Izzy I met with him same day and after viewing the apartment he told me it was available and I was the first to apply. I put down my deposit and gave him all of my paperwork. He said I "have the apartment, no one else is going to take it." On my way home that night after spending over an hour signing paperwork, he called me saying he listed the wrong price and the apartment was more money and that if I don't agree to that price it will still be on the market. I told him this is unfair and after multiple back and forth he agreed to pay the difference over the course of the year. A week went by, I contacted him every day to see if I was approved, finally a week later he said I was approved but that apartment was no longer available!! He tried to show me two apartments same price that were much smaller and extremely loud in all directions. I was completely dissatisfied and felt jerked around when I could have been looking elsewhere. Completely unprofessional.
It was pretty easy to work with izzy! he was responsive - call - and had a fast turn around for all the questions we had. Would work with him in the future!
Izzy was great! He replied to our inquiry quickly, he listened to us and took our needs into consideration, and he only showed us apartments that fit into our budget. He's very knowledgable and efficient. Will definitely work with him again!
When I first met Izzy he introduced himself as "the best broker in New York," and he wasn't lying! He coached me through the application process and managed to get me my first pick of apartments, despite my less-than-perfect financial history and stiff competition from multiple realtors all representing the same property. Izzy is the man and I'm so glad I worked with him.
Izzy was extremely helpful, empathetic and courteous. He was very quick in setting up an appointment for me to see the apartment and was equally as patient as I got my application together, answering all of the questions I had in a very timely manner. I cannot express enough how helpful he was. I definitely recommend working with Izzy to find your new home, especially if you are a first-time single renter (wanting to live alone can be very expensive in NYC, and Izzy helped me find something in my budget). I had lived with roommates for the past decade in NYC, and this is my first studio apartment. I do not think I could have got it without Izzy's guidance and assistance throughout the process. I love my new apartment and am grateful for your time and assistance, Izzy! Thanks so much!
Izzy was thorough, straightforward, fair-minded, prompt, and very helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend working with him. He's a solid guy.
He responded right away on a Sunday which was impressive, we went back and forth for a while and Izzy really understood what I wanted and made me feel like I was in good hands.
Izzy responded to my initial inquiry and quickly gave me a list of options that fit my search. Once I reviewed the links I picked my top 3 and the next day we were out looking at them. A truly quick and easy no hassle experience. The place I ended up with was better than I expected I could get in my price range now I have extra bedroom for an office / art studio for the same price in the area I wanted.

Izzy was very helpful and responsive. Went out of the way to find me what I needed. I would recommend.
