As of May 2020 I have worked with George on three occasions: the first time as a buyer and other two times as a landlord. He has been very helpful in looking for the right condo within my budget and has walked me through the complicated process. I have purchased condos before in California but it was my first time in New York.
I also engaged him as a landlord for the condo that I purchased - he made the process seamless from the purchase to the rent-out while proactively talking with the building. For the second time, he was very helpful in transitioning from the previous tenant to the new one (remember that this is during Covid-19 situation and I was not in New York).
I highly recommend George! I am sure he will help me again in the future.
Mr. Torres provided excellent customer service! I saw the apartment on Saturday and I signed the lease on Thursday, the following week. Mr. Torres was very professional, available and prompt. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Thank you for such an easy process. I highly recommend Mr. Torres.

An absolutely amazing agent to work with! Went out of his way with patience and consideration to make sure I found the right apartment!
George was extremely responsive (via email and text) with setting up viewing/meeting times around my work schedule throughout the entire process. He was so helpful in finding a reasonably priced 1 bedroom in my current neighborhood, it being my first time apartment hunting on my own without roommates. I felt I could trust his opinion and advice on what I could get in my price range, and he was a great advocate for me dealing with the management to make sure a few tweaks were taken care of (little updates, replacing damaged counters, etc). Strongly recommend!

Great agent to work with! Was able to find me a great deal on a place when I had limited time to find an apartment.
Out of all the agents, George continuously searched apartments for me. If one apartment wasn't to my expectations, he would alert me as soon as something else popped up. After a short amount of time, he found me an awesome apartment in a great area that was below my budget. I highly recommend George.
I had been looking to move out on my own for a while and was being shown some less than desirable, way overpriced apartments. After much frustration, I happened to come across George through a listing and so glad I did. He's efficient, listens to what you're looking for and an overall great broker to work with. Not only is he always quick to respond, he showed me a few places the same day as well, around my work schedule. I've referred him to several friends, too -- he definitely takes the stress out of looking for a new home and will certainly work with him again.
George responded quickly and made this process very easy for me. He was easy to communicate with and worked with me and my out of state guarantor to make sure I got all of the necessary paperwork in on time so that I could secure my apartment. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

George was really excellent! I explained to him exactly what I was looking for after our first apartment viewing. He called me later in the day with a perfect place!I could not have possibly been happier. He understood and listened to me. And was kind and courteous the entire time!
Working with George was extremely pleasant and easy. He always responded to my messages/emails in a timely manner and got me exactly what I was looking for. He is friendly and honest. He listens to your needs and is far from one of those animated sales agents who are trying to sell you something without even understanding your needs. I really appreciated his honesty and diligence.
George was very helpful. Answered all of questions and helped facilitate the lease signing with no problems whatsoever.
We rented an apartment in Crown Heights from George. He was great to work with - was on time to our appointments, answered all our questions, and worked with us each step of the way. We communicated via text message, and he always responded quickly. Highly recommend.
George was absolutely MAGNIFICENT. My fiance and I had been searching for a great apt for three weeks and had encountered our fair share of dismal agents that had that used-car-salesman vibe. George was like a breath of fresh air- super honest, no BS, just let us look around and decide for ourselves. It took us five minutes to decide the apt he showed us was perfect and then he even gave us a tour of the neighborhood! This is a good guy. I would recommend my friends work with him in a heartbeat, and I love my friends. :) If you don't want to feel pressured AND get shown an apt that is exactly what you told your agent you were looking for, go see George!!!!

I rented my apartment from George last year. He was easy to reach and answered all of our questions. I would work with George again.

I was looking for an apartment for over a month and a half then out of nowhere George's listing popped up. The application process was fairly easy we signed the lease a week later.
George helped me find a place after5 months of searching in brooklyn. very happy to sign a lease through him
Quick response. Saw (and loved) apartment quickly. Good communication and transparency.
I was braced for the notorious NYC apartment hunt but George made mine incredibly quick and simple. I contacted him one day, saw the apartment the next, and was approved the following day. And the place is better than I thought was possible for the money. He was quick to respond by txt and was professional, efficient and friendly.
George was really amazing. He found me the perfect apartment and met me after normal business hours to show it. The approval happened really quickly, and I was able to sign the lease the day after I saw the apartment. This has by far been the best experience I've ever had with a broker, and I recommend George very highly.

George is an honest and sincere agent and really tried to help me finding a new apartment. He's definitely knowledgeable about the nyc renting scene and the apartments that his company takes care of. I'm very happy that I signed a lease through him.

Very nice, seemed very fair and square (that means honest). I'm sorry the apartment I viewed wasn't right. Wish I'd heard back from him about other options.
To be completely honest, I tried to contact George and he didn't contact me back. My fiance contacted George and then George got back to him like a week later. I had decided before meeting him based on peoples comments that George must be a jerk... or sexist... I don't I was trying to come up with some reason he would wait so long to respond... and then not respond to both me and my fiance who never told him we were the same "lookers".Regardless the apartment looked cool in the pictures and we were determined to see the apartment. My boyfriend was a real pain in the butt and kept calling George and leaving messages till he finally called back and scheduled an appointment.George ended up pushing our appointment back an hour and was also late. He apologized and was incredibly sweet and nice. We thought because we were viewing this apartment at 9:30pm on a Sunday he would rush us through... but he was patient and let us take our sweet a*s time.We ended up loving the place and putting down a deposit on the spot. He had all the paperwork on hand, and even was so sweet a to drive us home to the complete opposite side of Brooklyn!What I realized was... George is not a jerk. George is actually a very kind, relaxing, and not pushy at all, agent. Also... he's crazy busy. So if you like an apartment and really want it... I say flood his phone and email with you messages.That's my best advice. I would definitely use George again... even if we don't get the apartment.
He responded to my inquiry within hours. I saw the apartment that night. I put in an application that Friday and was approved by Monday.George is very straight forward which I appreciate, with all the BS agents typically throw at you.
