"My wife and I hired David Berger to sell our 2-bedroom / 2-bath apartment on the Upper East Side, this past year. While we interviewed other brokers, we selected David in particular because of his work ethic. David does his homework. He came prepared with comparable research for our building and the neighborhood. When we challenged his aggressive pricing (highest in our apartment line), he confidently defended his numbers and was able to deliver. He also took the time to get to understand our home by learning about our renovations and thought about how a new buyer might inhabit the space. David is an excellent communicator. He kept us informed throughout the process (by phone, email, and text) which made everything super easy. Finally, David is a true professional that delivers excellent results. He sold our property in less than one month, at the price he set, with multiple offers for us to consider. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! We are very happy David Berger Homes clients and would recommend using David for your real estate needs without reservation."-Ed M.

"Before engaging with David, my wife and I had our 1 bedroom / 1 bath apartment sit on the market for several months without much movement. Our broker wasn't helpful, just remarking that the pandemic has slowed everything down. We fired her and found David through a mutual friend. I'm so glad we went with him. David has a good eye for an apartment and how a potential buyer may perceive it. After a careful review, he established a strategy and a plan for going to market. David was straightforward with us and didn't beat around the bush - our apartment needed to be spruced up if we wanted to maximize our chance of a sale. He worked closely with us to find the right approach and ready the space for listing. The net result was that we had an all-cash offer, at our asking price, within three days of the first open house. Throughout the whole process, David was transparent and communicated frequently with us. This was refreshing, considering our past experience. His process is also consistent and repeatable. I recommended David to another couple who were looking to sell their home. David took the same approach and had the apartment sold within a month. Results speak for themselves. Thank you to David and his whole team. I strongly endorse and recommend working with David!"-Ilya Z.

★★★★★
"With such a unique buying process for a New York City co-op, David did everything to ensure a smooth process from initial viewings all the way up until my move-in date. He has expertise in the market and ensured that I knew all of the specifics of the co-op vs. condo market in the city as well as setting up viewings to compare the two. While I started out with quite a flexible set of requirements, he was able to ask the right questions to help me narrow down my search criteria. At no time did I ever feel pressured, and each time we had a viewing he ensured that my feedback was taken into account for all subsequent viewings until we were able to find my perfect apartment! Once we found the apartment, he was able to handhold me through each step of the process as well as help me manage all of the moving parts with my crazy travel schedule. I could not be happier with my experience - I would highly recommend working with David as he is extremely professional and personable, which made what is usually a complex and frustrating process very smooth and comfortable."-Neil C.

★★★★★
"David seemed very comfortable with dealing with international clientele, as his communication skills are superior which complemented his vast knowledge of the real estate market. I highly recommend David he truly is the best."-Julian

★★★★★
"David is knowledgeable, reliable, tech-savvy, and a consummate professional. More importantly, he's one of those rare people that emanates genuine kindness and warmth."-Tom D.

★★★★★
"David is the best. He is very patient and very knowledgeable when it comes to helping find you a new apartment. He's the first agent who actually listened to me and didn't show me things way over my budget or apartments that did not have what I wanted."-Jasmine.

★★★★★
"I can sum up my experience with David with something I said to him during our last meeting. Rather than saying thanks for finding me a great apartment I said, somewhat awkwardly, Um so could we be friends in real life even though I signed for an apartment. That is how awesome David is-he works incredibly hard, is very kind, extremely patient and by the end of it, you legitimately want to stay friends. Below I will describe the details. In terms of my apartment finding experience, David did a perfect job. I found my dream apartment that had all the things I was looking for. David really listens and does his best to find what you really want down to the minute details. He doesn’t try to sway you from things you truly don’t want to compromise on. He found me a beautiful apartment, in the location I wanted, that really fit my personality and I love it! Before I go into further detail, I want to note that I am extremely picky. My friends will not go shopping with me because I am utterly indecisive and constantly change my mind. There were many times in the process where I thought David would throw his hands up in the air and quit because of how indecisive I was. But he never did! Instead, he would say let’s get on a call and we would talk thru my options and the pros and cons of the apartments was looking into. I never felt pressured to rent anything. Rather, I just felt that I received good clarity from our conversations. It almost felt like a therapy session because he would get to the root of why or why not I was interested in signing for an apartment and what was stopping me. There were multiple times where he went back to the drawing board to find more listings because I was just that picky. I don’t recommend being as picky as me because it’s a bit silly, but I will say I don’t know any other broker or person really who would be able to deal with my indecisiveness as patiently as David did! Adjectives to describe my experience working with David. Surprising, amazing, fun, and truly delightful. Surprising, It was surprising because living in Manhattan for the past 10 years I have never met a broker who wasn’t trying to trick me into thinking my budget would only afford so much. Either that or I met brokers who just couldn’t be bothered with cultivating a relationship with their clients. David’s client relationship-building skills are unlike any I have ever seen. He asks you what you want, your budget and he really does everything in his power to find you this within what’s realistic. Amazing, When I started looking for apartments by myself I was discouraged because I wasn’t finding things that fit my very specific requirements, along with my budget. I tried working with some other person initially and he rudely told me my expectations were too high and it was impossible. I almost threw in the towel and stayed in my current apt, but then I happened to walk by David’s office and figured I would give someone new a chance! What luck! David assured me I could find something I loved with the budget I had and got to work finding apartment after apartment that fit my needs and wants. Fun, David is just fun. I’ve never had a broker work so hard and simultaneously be so nice and fun. Whenever I get overwhelmed, he talked me thru things and gave me the information I needed to come to a good decision. Delightful, It was a delightful experience for all the reasons above and for the fact that I ended up signing for an awesome apartment, in the neighborhood I wanted, that I love! Any and all questions were answered by David clearly and happily. I want to also say that after the whole process was done-a a part of my cynical New York self assumed I wouldn’t hear from or see David again. It made me a little sad, to be honest. However, the day I moved into my apt, as I was unpacking, I heard a knock on my door. There was David, To wish me well on my move, see how I was doing, and even to bring me an apartment warming gift. Honestly, if you want someone extremely genuine, kind, super smart, very very connected in terms of what’s out there on the market for rentals and buys, and very dedicated to finding you your dream home, within your budget. David is the one for you! I can’t say enough good things about him and have already raved about him to every single person I know who is looking for a new home and apartment. If you searched for a broker and found him consider yourself very very lucky and know that you are well on your way to finding your dream home. "-J G.

"David made the deal for us! From the start, thinking of what we would like to buy, where, and even when, David guided us with everything with his amazing attitude."-Yair T.

★★★★★
"David is an amazing professional and expert on anything related to real estate in New York. One of the most important things that amazed me is that he immediately understands his clients' needs. Great job, efficient, very reliable. David has always given us sound advice and acted swiftly with great results He knows the ropes to get you the best deal possible. He is the one, and I highly recommend him."-Damien C.

★★★★★
"I had never met David before contacting him randomly about an apartment I saw online, all the way from Los Angeles. He was game for my FaceTime tour idea, walked us through every step of the process from offer to closing, connected us with the best lawyer Michael Strauss, and got us the deal of a lifetime. He was so professional, was available 24/7, and made our co-op board package undeniable. Truly would use him for every real estate need I have in New York City."-Brittany D.

★★★★★
"David is a highly competent agent who was always available to assist in the purchase of our home in New York City. He does not spare any efforts in helping find the perfect apartment that corresponds exactly to what you are looking for. Living in Europe, David selected apartments and organized many visits, spending a lot of time with us traveling around the village and Chelsea neighborhoods. David seemed very comfortable with dealing with international clientele, as his communication skills are superior which complemented his vast knowledge of the real estate market. The three main qualities of David that I want to emphasize are 100% involvement in your research by completing a large number of steps to submit only relevant proposals. Efficient and great honesty, At no time, did I feel pressured to buy a property and all steps were clear and transparent. An incredible after-sales service. David has made many steps after the signing of the closing, moving, deliveries, telephone, internet and etc. I highly recommend David he truly is the best. "-Julian W.

★★★★★
"David brought the knowledge, the insight into the availability in the market, but what really impressed me was his speed to reply to my emails and messages. David made himself available when I was able to attend viewings and maintained a high level of energy and enthusiasm for showing me different places that would meet my needs. We shared our list of must-haves and could haves and he found the perfect place to call home. Apart from being an excellent listener, David is genuine and authentic in his approach from the beginning to the final closing. Even post-closure, David continued to go out of his way to help with any extra matters and answered questions we had. Working with David was an absolute pleasure. At all times, I found David to be genuine, reliable, honest, and diligent. David is an absolute asset to his firm and to those looking to sell or purchase the property. I strongly recommend him."-Erik O.
