I was so pleased with how fast Cecilia helped me find my new place. I also had a tight budget and specific location I wanted close to work. She's so awesome and understanding and doesn't push you out of your price range. She helped me find a nice clean new studio that's perfect for my needs and I am so much happier and have more free time and better access to the things I need like groceries etc. Highly reccommend!
Renthop was great. Cecilia who assisted me in finding my apartment made things easy and was great to work with.
Great and accommodating person who helped me even when I was under a lot of stress from the building management company. She really went above and beyond!
Cecilia has helped me find my last two apartments. Her ability to move quickly and thoroughly sets her apart from any other broker I've dealt with in New York City. I highly recommend working with Cecilia!
Cecilia is so accommodating and attentive. She truly listens to what you are looking for in your apartment search! I called her on a Sunday at 12pm on a whim and met us at 2pm to show us apartments. Cecilia is dedicated to her clients, knows how to navigate the unique real estate market in NYC and was really wonderful to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!
Cecilia was awesome throughout the whole process. In just one day of viewing apartments with her, she was able to get us exactly what we were looking for at an amazing price. Thanks again!
Cecilia helped my roommates and I find our ideal NYC apartment in less than a day. She had access to an endless number of properties and quickly picked up on what exactly we were looking for. Throughout the process she was approachable, upfront, and knowledgeable. We would definitely work with her again.
I had a fantastic experience with Cecilia. She was incredibly responsive and helped me rent a beautiful apartment that fit all of my criteria almost immediately after I emailed her! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an apartment in NYC.
Cecilia was phenomenal to work with and went the extra mile for us in our apartment search at every stage of the process. Her knowledge of the NYC rental market and relationships across the industry were huge assets to us in our apartment search. We highly recommend Cecilia to anyone looking for a rental in NYC.
Cecilia was helpful, responsive and landed us a great apartment. Highly recommend!
Cecilia was efficient, professional, approachable, and friendly. We signed our apartment with her on the spot and she was very helpful in updating us on the status of our application as well as throughout the entire rent process. I would highly highly recommend her.
Cecilia is by far the best broker that I have worked with. She was incredibly responsive through our apartment search and went the extra mile to both understand our needs and find the perfect fit.
I have recommended Cecilia to all of my colleagues, and she will be my first call when/if I even begin another apartment search in the future.
Cecilia was very easy to work with. She showed us all of the apartments that were promised and did a fantastic job of setting realistic goals and expectations for each trip. She was very responsive to communication and always kept us in the loop on the latest listing that would be a potential fit for us. By no means is the process ever easy but Cecilia helped to make it much much more manageable.
Cecilia was very organized and thoughtful in our apartment search. She quickly understood what we were looking for and what we weren't. She set up a full schedule of appointments for us and was willing to make changes on the fly - we were able to find our new apartment with Cecilia's help in just one day.
I would highly recommend Cecilia in connection with renting an apartment in NYC. She actually stepped in for another broker who had an emergency and couldn't meet with us-as such Cecilia didn't have an opportunity to speak w/us beforehand regarding what we were looking for. Nontheless, she picked up on what we were looking for immediately and took us to see an apartment that we really loved in a great area-after spending one afternoon we had made a decision and Ceclia faciliated the application/lease signing procedure and stayed on top of the whole process. She remained accessible and moved things along.
Cecilia is far and away the best broker I've ever worked with and I've lived in the city for awhile. I'm also typically very cautious of brokers in general, but would recommend working with Cecilia to anyone.
She found us an amazing apartment and went above and beyond to make sure we closed it. We were in a particularly tough situation that consisted of a lot of moving parts and we legitimately couldn't have done it without her. She made it seamless and went to bat for us time and time again.
She also happens to be awesome, which is just an added bonus.
By far the most down-to-earth, helpful, responsive and knowledgeable broker in nyc. I have dealt with a few and by far she is the best and only one I really trusted.
Cecilia was very helpful and knowledgeable in my apartment search. She showed us some great apartments in our desired neighborhood and ultimately was successful in finding us a place. I would recommend Cecilia to anyone looking for a place in Manhattan.
Cecilia is incredibly knowledgable and dedicated to finding the right spaces to meet your needs/preferences. She found our new apartment before it was officially listed and worked with us to get it signed, sealed and delivered immediately. Highly recommend!!!
Cecilia was able o deliver exactly what we were looking for in an apartment in a timely fashion. A pleasure to work with.
Finding an apartment in New York City is stressful. Cecilia helped put us at ease and found us a spot that fit all of our needs. She was very down to earth and very honest. I highly recommend her for anybody apartment hunting!!
Cecilia was a pleasure to work with. Always showed up on time and was very truthly about the listings
Cecilia was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us find exactly what we wanted and needed in an apartment. She had informed answers to all of our questions and made the apartment hunting experience an easier one.
Cecilia is FANTASTIC!!! She listened to what kind of apartment we wanted and only showed us units that fit all criteria. She went above and beyond when it came to helping with paperwork and negotiating price for rent. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to find their next place.
Cecilia knows NYC real estate like the back of her hand. I've had bad experiences with brokers in the past, and she instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease upon meeting her. She was professional and readily available throughout the entire search process all the way through the lease signing. She truly dedicates herself to her clients. She helped me and my friends find the perfect apartment - one we would have NEVER even seen without her help. The brokers fee was 100% worth every single penny. Thank you!!!
Great agent! Understood exactly what we wanted and stayed very on top of our search. Cecilia made the entire process very easy!
Cecilia was honest, efficient, and a genuine help! My friends and I loved working with her and would definitely recommend her :)
Cecilia found my 2 roommates and I a great spot in Greenwich Village that would have gone on and off the market in a matter of hours. She was showing us around a few places, knew what we wanted and diverted the plan to include this spot when she was notified it just became available when we were out looking. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a spot in a top location at an affordable price.
I recently accepted a position in NYC and had a small window of time to find an apartment and relocate from Virginia. Cecilia made the entire process a breeze! She has an intimate knowledge of the city, transportation system, and real estate market which allowed us to make quick work of the search. I was on a plane home within 3 days! Cecilia is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her for your search!
Good Day,
I originally wasn't looking to use a broker in Manhattan, and wanted a low fee apartment. My first experience was at Best Apartments, and it was a complete nightmare. On Monday, we met one of your brokers, Cecilia Sullivan, and the experience was completely different. Cecilia was very professional, friendly, and managed to find the apartment we were looking for. Cecilia understands sales and interpersonal skills very well. After showing us an apartment, she expressed that others may want to take it off the market since we saw others brokers and suggested that we acted quickly. Our third roommate was in Staten Island, however Cecilia waited about an hour and half to show him the apartment on a Monday evening. Her patience allowed us to seal the deal. Cecilia was very responsive with emails/phone calls, and also knowledgeable about the neighborhood. I grew up in NY but she could tell us interesting facts about the neighborhood and point us to the local pubs.
After dealing with several nightmare brokers, I can honestly say she is the best. Cecilia is a very good broker, and I will share her information with my friends.
To say Cecilia is a breath of fresh air compared to other brokers is such an unbelievable understatement. I can''t thank her enough or tell her enough times how great of a broker she is, but at the very least I can write a few nice words about my experience. She listened to what we wanted (myself and 2 roommates) and then showed us apartments tailor made for us, she was very knowledgeable about her apartment listings, 100% honest with everything, discussed the apts with us (pros/cons/layouts), was very professional, always on time, responded immediately to emails (even at 3am which is just plain impressive), easy to talk to, great personality, very very helpful... the list goes on. Hopefully before you deal with a shady broker, or a broker who only pushes the most expensive apts, or the awkward personality broker, you''ll read this and make the rig ht decision. Thanks again Cecilia.
We are thrilled with the apartment, the building, and the amenities. However, this is not why I'm writing this email.
In my 3 months of apartment hunting I was subjected to dealing with several brokers who (at best) could be described as untrustworthy, if not worse. What's more, they did not listen to the qualities in apartments we sought and continually tried to bring us above our price range and pitch us something we did not want and did not ask for. When I had all but given up and was at my wits end, Cecilia swooped in to rescue us from our apartment hunting debacle. Within a matter of days she was 100% on point and aligned with our apartment goals and (low and behold) listened to what we wanted and delivered. In a nyc real estate market saturated with unsavory and/or incompetent brokers, I can confidently say you have a invaluable asset to your firm in Cecilia Sullivan. Hey abilities and reputation are beyond reproach and I would feel 100% confident doing business with her again and referring people her way. As a matter of fact, I have already referred a good friend of mine her way and I have complete confidence she can help anyone that sits before her.
She goes above and beyond the call of duty, so much so that you would think it was her own apartment on the line to lose. I can genuinely tell it is not about just the quick buck with her. She knows how to build and cultivate strong client relationships that will grow into future business. All in all, don't lose this one! She truly is a diamond in the rough.
Once again, thank you, Cecilia, and your firm for helping us land this apartment on such tight time constraints and without any unwanted surprises. I look forward to working with Cecilia and your firm in the future, as well as referring more business your way.
Best Regards,
Jon, Jed, and Everett
