"Working with Ania was a dream! From the moment we started working with her, we knew she was a tier above other brokers. She goes above and beyond in not only assessing what you're looking for, but also in keeping you organized. She took all of the pains out of looking by constantly updating a shared doc with all the apartments we'd seen, that included rent, pictures etc. (As a person who thrives off of order, this was AMAZING.) Ania also was a true asset when going to appointments; she asked questions we didn't even think to! She found us a place we love and was a great negotiator. We will definitely be working with her again!" -A. Watson

"We have finally moved into our apartment at Tudor city, and I want to send you a deep appreciation for supporting us throughout the process. We got introduced to you by a friend's very nice recommendation. From the first interaction we had with you, you were very professional and very precise. The comparison chart you developed made our lives so easy, and all the research you did for us was amazing. Your groundwork, including but not limited to going to the apartments to provide us a virtual pre-tour, was a big help, especially when living away from NY, and we had limited time actually to see the place ourselves. Your priority was always to understand our needs and what we were looking for, which provided us comfort. You were always available to answer all questions we had and represented us strongly towards the landlords. When we entered the final phase to sign the lease, you were there for us successfully negotiating the rent down further, and we did not have to worry about all the details, which usually is a big headache. It would not have gone that smoothly without you. Even after the lease was signed, you have been proactively on our side to make sure the move goes without any speedbumps, and you also swiftly reached out to the landlord when we had issues that needed to be taken care of. I would recommend you to anybody in a heartbeat when asked for an agent. You were superb, and I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us. Thank you so much for everything, and I sincerely hope we can remain in touch." - T.N.

"This was our 6th move in NY. We had support from different agents each time (Japanese and non-Japanese) in the past but the service we got from Ms. Ishizaki was definitely the best. She was so attentive, responsive, did research above and beyond and negotiated professionally with owners. We are extremely happy to find our perfect place thanks to her." - M.N.
★★★★★
"Ms. Ishizaki had been an amazing support in our apartment search. At the beginning of the process she took the time to explain the rental market condition and gave us a clear understanding about how the rental process worked in New York City. Her knowledge is deep and precise. Ms. Ishizaki understood very well our needs and taste and we were extremely satisfied by the quality of the different properties we visited. On top of that, she is a very dedicated person that genuinely cares for her clients and their happiness."
