Cemile G. 05/09/2007 " This, like all the reviews for realty firms, is more a review of the broker than the firm. My partner and I were looking for a two bedroom we would share with our single friend (not a very conventional case), close to central park, with a lot of light, in the UWS or UES. We worked with about 10 brokers, including ones from Manhattan Apartments, Citi Habitats, etc. Benjamin Workman, our broker from Kurland Realty, was by far the most pleasant to work with. He wasn't pushy. He was well-organized and very sensitive to our needs. He cared  and wanted to find us our new home, not just another apartment. He was also very respectful of our time and did not waste our time with crappy apartments, stuff out of our price range, etc. Ben's choices of apartments to show us were dead on, they fit most our criteria, if not all. He was also very easy to contact by phone and by email. I have a habit of writing long emails describing everything we need with examples and such, and I found that he was the only one who actually read these emails, thought about them, and used all the information to find us something great. I highly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking for not just a great broker, but also a great person to deal with and a very pleasant overall experience. " Susan M. 03/22/2007 " As a newby to this town, I had the fabulous time of trying to find the perfect little gem of an apartment - trying to dodge the dodgy brokers who charge exorbitant fees for showing you the worst places to rent possible. By chance, I happened upon Bianka Yankov from Kurland Realty. Not only was she well-dressed, young and funky, but she showed me only really nice places that fell across the full range (highest and lowest) of our budget, and then charged us a very low brokers' fee. Highly efficient, very friendly and amicable, Bianka worked til 11pm on the night we put in our offer to ensure that we got the apartment off the market and kept in constant contact with us during the financial / legal part of the deal. I'd highly recommend Bianka's services to anyone looking to rent an apartment without the hassle involved in actual pavement pounding. " Robert C. 03/23/2007 " When I moved last time, I just went on Craigslist and sifted through the hundreds of ads, spending hours of my time on the phone with shady agents and landlords. So this time around I decided to use a real estate agent. I was pretty happy with the service. The fee at Kurland is lower than a few of the other agencies I called, and my agent was well-informed and helpful. Overall it was a pretty painless process. " Lisa G. 03/23/2007 " I feel so lucky to have found my agent at Kurland Realty! I worked with a couple of agents from other firms, but felt like they were just pushing the most expensive apartments on me, without listening to my criteria or budget. After I spoke with the young man at Kurland, he showed me 5 apartments, that were exactly the kind of places I was looking for, and now I have a beautiful 2 BR apartment in Soho that I wouldn't give up for anything! If I move again, I will definitely work with the same agent. " Mike Z. 12/11/2007 " I would like to express my positive experience working with Debbie P. last week. She showed me at least 10 units in the freezing snow that were all within my original criterion. She made the apartment experience much easier than anticipated. I managed to find a unit that is 3 blocks from my office in only 3 days and I am very thankful to have had Debbie to show me around. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone that is searching for an apartment. "   Name: E-mail: Testimonial:
