Milton did a great job at helping me find my coop apartment that was the perfect fit for me. He explored the possibilities with the tours, gave me the information needed to know if I qualified for a mortgage and gave his experience with negotiating a price that I was comfortable with. He is personable, experienced and professional. I felt like I was being led in the right direction and I was. I would recommend his real estate services whole heartedly. Great experience with Milton!
Milton did an indispensable job assisting us with renting our condominium unit. As a first-time renter in NYC, I couldn’t have done it without Milton’s expertise and help. He was professional and communicative, and he really supported us through every step of the way, from the first tour to lease-signing to move-in. I mean this especially for the condo application process, which I had no experience with and which Milton took the time to guide us with, like compiling and informing us of exactly what materials we needed, what the timeline was gonna look like, walking us through the application site, letting us know about anything we missed filling out, etc. Super recommend Milton as your broker.
