“I can't thank you enough for your incredible attention to detail, professionalism and kindness. Truly, I never would have expected the process to be so easy (haha "easy"), especially being so far away. But you put me at ease, took care of the details, updated me at all stages, went out of your way to coordinate and accommodate - thank you for your hard work!! You are AMAZING!!” — R. Menon / June 2021
“Thanks again for all your help. You were beyond helpful throughout this whole process. As a first time buyer I felt very confident with your guidance leading the way.

“David Delaney is an excellent real estate agent and provided such an easy and stress-free experience when my sister and I were looking for our first apartment together. Unlike many other New York realtors, he wasn't about the high-pressure sales tactics and was very transparent and helpful during the process. You could tell that he really enjoyed what he was doing, was knowledgeable of the apartment and neighborhood, had amazing rapport with the current tenants and had an overall positive and nurturing attitude. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to search for a new apartment in NYC to work with David, it was such a pleasant experience.” —M. Grain / April 2015
“David Delaney helped me find my dream apartment. I know that sounds cliched, but it's the absolute truth. I told him what I was looking for, and where I wanted to live, and how much I was able to spend - and he made it happen! Throughout the entire process David was always responsive, communicative, organized and incredibly thorough when it came to all the paperwork and managing my expectations. I very much appreciated the transparent and candid way he works, and found him to be a friendly and compassionate breath of fresh air in the usually cold and stressful world of NYC real estate." —M. Cooper / June 2014
“Throughout my six years in New York, I, like many New Yorkers, have met more brokers than I'd like to admit, and looked at more apartments than I care to remember. David Delaney however was genuine, honest, and displayed integrity that more people in general should have. I also appreciated his communication skills that keep me updated early and often during the process, and his Marine Corp style discipline for moving things along quickly.” —A. Pappas / July 2009
