Responded quickly after my initial inquiry, but did not get back to me about a meeting time or address for me to view an apartment. Like others have said, while I understand busy schedules, I had rearranged my own schedule with the promise of a viewing and never even received a message from Charles about having to cancel.

I had a very good experience with Charles. He was responsive, and most importantly, not pushy. I find that a lot of brokers try to pressure you but that was not the case with Charles. He was straightforward and patient.Would definitely recommend him.
Without a doubt, Ideal is the nicest brokerage company I have worked with in Brooklyn! Their broker Charles helped me find an apartment quickly, as I urgently needed to move in January 2017. The landlord made the decision within 24 hours of me submitting my paperwork, the lease was straightforward, and the landlord very sweet and accommodating. Charles went out of his way to find me the space I really liked, after taking me to see 9 different apartments over two days. Totally happy with my space, and happy to have found Charles.
Apartment hunting in New York City can make you seriously detest brokers. Two people from Ideal have restored my faith in this shady profession. Both Kayla and Charles Ega were friendly, knowledgeable, extremely professional, and always available for my many questions. Kayla especially was remarkably patient, working hard for me for a number of months as I was apartment hunting from afar. When I finally came to Brooklyn to look at a few apartments they have lined up for me, I ended up renting a no fee place that is just amazing. Iâm still in disbelief! I can't thank, particularly Kayla, enough. Great team!
I can't say enough about the quality of Ideal's inventory of apartments and their customer service. The apartment I rented in Windsor Terrace through their agent Charles Ega is in excellent repair, and cheap compared to similar apartments in the area.
I so rarely write reviews online, but finding an apartment in Brooklyn is stressful. I felt constantly rushed by brokers. Finally I found Charles and he showed me some amazing apartments. He was flexible with my insane schedule and very efficient. He had some awesome exclusives and helped us rent an affordable and super pretty place in Gowanus. Good luck with everything Charles! Hope this review helps further your great business, Scott
Charles was responsive, accommodating, helpful, professional and lovely to work with. I love my new apartment and would recommend Charles to anyone!

Charles from Ideal is awesome: professional, prompt, reliable. If you are looking for a place in Brooklyn save yourself the hassle of going at it yourself and just go with Ideal Properties Group. If not Charles, a lot of their agents (we have worked with 5 during the last two years) are very capable.
We reached out to Charles when we saw all the good reviews others left him. Charles responded to our initial inquiry and we set up an appointment. However, he never gave us an address to meet him at and did not take the time to cancel the appointment or tell us he wasn't able to make it. I understand that everyone has busy schedules, but I thought it was inconsiderate of him to waste our time.

I was overall very satisfied with Charles Ega! He answered all my questions very quickly and secured us an apartment that we are very satisfied with.
Charles was perfect for my apartment search! He researched my easiest commute to work and had a list of 10+ apartments along the subway line I needed. He started with an apartment below my budget, didn't try to go any higher than I was comfortable with, and highlighted apartments where I would not have to pay the broker's fee. I found my apartment on the 3rd stop. If I even need an upgrade in space I will be going back to Charles.
Working with Charles was great! He works with you well and goes out of his way to accommodate you. Even the smallest of inconveniences (at no fault of his own) were also accompanied with great communication to keep you up-to-date and follow-through to remedy the situation.A very friendly and professional broker that I would definitely work with again in the future.
I have worked with the Ideal Properties Group many times and wouldn't recommend anyone but this great firm! Their team is easy to work with and provides amazing customer service. Looking for the right 1031 in Brooklyn was difficult, but they made it all seem easy. Thank you, Ideal Properties, for looking out for me and my $$$!
Charles was super helpful in wrangling my new apartment. When I first saw the listing I reached out and he responded very quickly, giving me the ability to see the apt and jump on it. When I wanted to get the price lowered he talked to the owner for me and helped get me the rent I was looking for! Also, as brokers fees go his was far more reasonable than many of the other brokers I talked to. Can't recommend him enough!
Charles from Ideal helped us in our rental search and was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. He was always on time to all of our appointments and was very knowledgeable of all of the options we had. I would highly recommend Charles if you are looking for a real estate agent intimately familiar with the Brooklyn area.
Ega responded quickly to let me know the apt was already taken. I truly appreciate that as passed experiences have not been the best. He was very polite and well-mannered.

To put it simply, Ega is a name you can trust in real estate in the NYC area. Though we didn't end up renting with Charles, he was quick to respond and showed me three times as many places than I had originally scheduled with him, all great, great apartments. He literally drove me around the neighborhood to each location while we talked life and real estate. This is someone you want working for you, a real stand up guy. Thanks Charles!

Charles was great! I worked with a handful of different brokers in Brooklyn and he actually took the time to show me around neighborhoods, open to all sorts of questions, and understanding and willing to hear out situations and circumstances.I recommend working with him!
Charles was very prompt and had a ton of knowledge to share. He answered all of our inquiries quickly, including nights and weekends when we were working on our application. Charles secured our current apartment in a timely manner and walked us through all the steps while remaining down-to-earth and friendly during the whole process. We would definitely recommend Charles!
Charles was great, didn't get a walk thru or orientation to the building when we arrived.
Charles may be my favorite person on the planet. I found myself desperately in need of an apartment ASAP and reached out to Charles about a listing I found online. Before I was able to see it, the apartment was rented so Charles put together a list of 4 apartments to see that fell into a similar price and size range. I met him after work (I was 20 minutes late with a dead cell and he still waited⦠bonus points!) and we power-looked at every one. He never talked up a place or tried to "sell' me on it but rather let me take my time and form my own opinions. After our initial look at the apartments, I emailed at an ungodly hour to request to see my favorite again. He responded right away and I saw the place again the next morning. I ended up putting a deposit down. Charles advised me on all the documents I would need so my lease was pushed through in 2 days! Everything was seamless and smooth and Charles was friendly, funny, and helpful throughout. A totally enjoyable experience! I would recommend Charles to anyone looking for a place. He does his homework and wont waste your time. He's the BEST!
Charles helped us find a great place in a neighborhood we were not familiar with, and helped us through every step of the process even while we were still out-of-state. He showed great apartments and responded promptly whenever we had questions. Strongly recommend!
Never responded to my inquiry.

Charles literally drove us around Brooklyn all night so that we could get our proper documentation in on time. Responds quickly, knows the area, and we felt he genuinely wanted to help without screwing us over. Got an apartment in Greenwood and we're moving in this weekend. He made a stressful situation far more manageable. Definitely use this guy. Thanks Charles!
Before Charles Ega from Ideal Properties Group, apartment hunting in Brooklyn was about as miserable an experience as can be. I'm sure you'd all agree that trying to find a good place is difficult enough, so having countless brokers not even show up for appointments makes it even more challenging.From first contact Charles was concerned about getting to understand our needs as precisely as possible. He always picked up the phone, answered our texts, returned our emails. He never skipped a beat. Great service. I would definitely recommend Ideal Properties and Charles in particular.
Charles was quick to respond to all our queries, always answered the phone, and was good-natured and professional in person. He was as excited about the apartment as we were. This was the easiest search we've ever had, and we owe much of it to Charles for getting us in to see it asap and moving the paperwork so swiftly. Thanks for helping us find our dream apartment!

Charles is amazing. this was my first time looking for an apartment in NYC and he was so helpful. Charles went out of his way to help me find an apartment. He worked around different appointments to help accommodate my schedule, and got another broker involved too. I gave him a list of what I wanted and he showed me all of the apartments in one day. I ended up taking my friend's apartment instead, but both Charles and Danielle did a terrific job. I will recommend Charles to everyone I know and I will use him in the future!
charles responded to my inquiry almost immediately and set up a viewing of the apartment the same day. I had worked with a few different brokers before meeting Charles and he was beyond superior in every way. Once I decided to move forward with the apartment Charles went above and beyond in working with me to get all of the necessary documents in order. He is a great communicator and HONEST! I highly recommend him to help you find your next place to call home.
Helped me rent a great apartment in Sunset Park. So helpful and answers your questions no matter how many times you ask. Gets back to you quickly, and helps you through the application process.
Charles was a pleasure to work with! We looked at 5 apartments in an afternoon, ALL of which were within my price, size, location, and quality parameters. That fact alone is worth a 5-star review.In addition to listening and responding to my requirements, Charles was genuinely interested in helping me find a great place. I would not hesitate to work with him again!
Charles was great to work with! He is very friendly and personable and made sure that the whole process went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Charles to anyone who is looking for an apartment. 5 stars!
Very nice, cool guy. Easy to talk to, and good at his job.
Charle Ega helped us find a super apt. He could not have been nicer, more helpful, or more courteous! I would definitely use him and recommend him for all housing searches in the future. Sincerely, Carol FordPS. The manager, Yeidy, was also super helpful, informative and courteous during this whole process. ----I would stay with her office for future business.
Charles was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive to our needs and personable. I would highly recommend Charles. He went out of his way to accommodate us. We found the apartment we needed.
