Ariel's Google Reviews
"As someone who knows nothing about the area, I needed someone with local knowledge. That was what I was seeking, and I definitely found that with Ariel. She not only took the time to explain all the potential areas I could live in, but took the time to get to know me, and what I was looking for specifically. She used all the resources she had at her disposal, and found me the perfect spot to rent in town. Ariel would answer any time of the day and had extreme attention to detail, knowing what to look for in each apartment as someone who not only works in the area, but has lived here herself for a long time. I can't recommend her enough."

"Ariel helped sell our condo in Jersey City. She took us through every step of the process, hosted countless Open House events, and stuck with us through three offers—where the third was the charm! Ariel is positive, knowledgeable, experienced, and a pleasure to work with--you want her on your team. Thank you for all your help!"
★★★★★
"I am a repeat customer of Ariel’s. She is the best agent you could ever have. She will trek all over the city to find the best apartment for you. She is very transparent and will advocate for you whenever necessary. This year was my second year working with her and it will not be my last. I moved into my now apartment and a week later she checked in on me to see how I was liking the place. She is truly so kind and gets down to business. Ariel wants the best for each of her clients and she will be transparent every step of the way. She will never let anyone move into a place that does not reflect a good quality of living. She is so knowledgeable about the industry as well as telltale signs of a safe apartment. If you are in Jersey, hirer Ariel!! She will not disappoint."
★★★★★
"Ariel is a great realtor: capable, knowledgeable, organized, and tenacious in the best way. We did a couple of tours with her in person and knew that she understood us and what we were looking for, so we trusted her to do virtual tours later. She payed close attention to the details of each apartment so we could make informed decisions from afar. And she was fantastically thorough and communicative through negotiating our lease and giving us a list of next steps. We'll definitely turn to Ariel if we need real estate help in the future!"
★★★★★
"Ariel is fantastic! Very responsive, always working towards advancing your needs, and really knows how to get the job done. She helped us find a great tenant for our apartment in less than a week. She's very friendly and easy to talk to. I couldn't recommend her more."
★★★★★
"Ariel is VERY down to earth and knowledgeable about the area. She really has gone above and beyond throughout the entire rental process with myself and my roommate. Unlike other realtors, Ariel wanted us to find the place of our dreams instead of just pushing any apartment to score a brokers fee. She is understanding of tenants requirements and easily approachable for all questions/concerns. I HIGHLY recommend using Ariel as a realtor if you're searching for a new residence."
★★★★★
"Ariel was a fantastic help. She treated me as if I was her only client, and dedicated much of her time on Sunday, in showing me around Jersey City and providing genuine knowledge and opinion on the neighborhood and listings that we were seeing. I will without a doubt be working with Ariel in the future."
★★★★★
"Ariel is a rockstar! She was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. One of the kindest and most knowledgeable real estate agents I've ever worked with. She exceeded my expectations and she's very professional. Highly recommend!"
★★★★★
"Ariel was the best broker I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She went out of her way to show me almost 10 apartments in one night, telling me about the history and culture of Hoboken in between, all while wearing heels! She was honest about both the location and pros/cons of all the apartments we viewed, and did not try to upsell me in any way. After I made my decision, she went over the lease with me and even got me the best empanada I've ever had while we waited to sign everything. She dealt with me texting her constantly about the application process & lease finalization. Having lived in NYC for 5 years prior to moving to Hoboken, and thinking brokers were just a formality, she really showed me what a good broker is capable of. If I ever decide to move again within Hoboken, I wouldn't trust anyone else!"
★★★★★
"Ariel was very helpful to us as first time home buyers. She answered many questions and help clarify murkier parts of the process. When we found the home we ended up purchasing, we contacted her the same day as the open house. Even though it was a Sunday, she worked with us to get all of our paperwork together to immediately get an offer over to the seller. We would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home."
★★★★★
"Ariel is a true dream to work with! My boyfriend and I had just started our apartment search when we reached out to Ariel about a listing we found online. She immediately scheduled a tour and worked very quickly with us to make sure we had a strong profile against other candidates. Ariel is really knowledgeable about the market, how fast it moves, and what you should do to make sure you lock down the apartment of your dreams. She went the extra mile for us, making the whole process a breeze. Now I’m happily writing this review in our new apartment! Thank you Ariel, we’re so grateful to have worked with you!"
★★★★★
"Ariel made finding an apartment (in an incredible competitive market) fun and stress free! She was extremely helpful, transparent, and reliable throughout the process. She understood our needs and did not push us towards something we were not interested in. She even went the extra mile by attending open houses on our behalf - and taking FABULOUS videos! When we finally found ‘the one’, Ariel was sure to give the apartment a thorough inspection and advocated for fixes with the landlord. I would recommend Ariel to any of my friends!"
