Robert Varvara

• "Working with Rob to find our recent home was a very memorable experience. Rob diligently worked to meet our every need, catering to our whims and albeit difficult requests. Rob gingerly pushed us to consider the unexpected and succeeded in finding us our new home. Our friends often remark how elegant and spacious our new home is. If and when the time comes for us to move, Rob will be our first and only call. "

Alisa Trairatana

• "We were having a little difficulty finding an apartment in the e village in our price range. After meeting with a couple of other brokers, we met Alisa and instantly liked her. She was really patient and didn't try to give us the hard sell on any apartments that weren't exactly right for us. I felt that she was definitely working for us during the entire process. Her boss, Gary, was also extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. We are very happy in our new apartment thanks to them!"

Rob was wonderful - dedicating whole portions of his days trying to find me something that fit my specific needs. He was very helpful through every step of the process. I will be using Rob again and would most definately refer him to friends.
  
  Thanks again."

Jeffrey Schleider

• "In December of last year you helped me find an apartment after I was transferred to NYC for my job and had only 3 days to move. We ran around the city on a Friday night with my Dad in tow and you found me an apartment I could move into the following Wednesday. Knowing what I know now about the NYC housing market I think that was short of a miracle. You and your team were the only reason I did not end up in a cardboard box. :)"

Gary Posylkin

• "The customer service at Miron is top notch. Pierna and Gary took time to make sure we were comfortable with every step of the NYC apartment hunt and were determined to make sure we were happy. I look forward to working with them again in the future and recommending my friends to them.
  
  Thank you."

Pierina Santos-Margaritov

• "We are so happy to have worked with Miron Properties recently. They were devoted to finding us a place that not only was in our price range but was something we actually wanted and were excited about! Pierina never forgot our “must haves” and preferences while she was aiding us in our search. After meeting a couple realtors in the city we were drawn to Pierina’s friendly demeanor, knowledge of the UWS, patience and honesty .
  
  The customer service at Miron is top notch. Pierna and Gary took time to make sure we were comfortable with every step of the NYC apartment hunt and were determined to make sure we were happy. I look forward to working with them again in the future and recommending my friends to them.

Bram Lefevere

• "Hi Bram,
  
  Thanks for following up. It was great to meet you. You are one of the most likable, eloquent and professional brokers I have met in 8 years of moving around this city. We hope to meet you again soon.
  
  Enjoy what's left of the weekend!"

Brad McAtee

• ""I knew little to nothing about Manhattan neighborhoods when I decided
  to move from California. With only twenty-four hours notice, Brad was
  able to compile an amazing – and plentiful – list of NYC gems: places
  I never would have found on my own. It was this initial effort that
  earned my respect and trust – A confidence rightly placed, since I had
  an apartment by 4 PM that afternoon. Brad toured my roommate and me
  around on one of the hottest East coast summer days, all the time
  maintaining his charismatic attitude and contagious smile. He was
  delightful, efficient, and very informative. He communicated very
  effectively and even took the time to point out the neighborhoods’
  noteworthy eateries and points of interest. It was not only a pleasure
  to work with Brad, but my particular good fortune.""

Paul (PJ) Griswold

• "“PJ was instrumental in helping me with the tough task of reloating cross country from Southern California to New York City. From day one of making contact PJ was proactive in educating me about the real estate market in New York City and understanding what areas and types of places would be the best fit for what I wanted.
  
  He has a huge rolodex of contacts and was very efficient during the process of scouting prospective properties with only showing attractive places that were in my price range. In the end PJ found me a great deal and I have recommended him to all contacts I have moving to New York.” August 5, 2011"
  - Phil Irvine

• "“PJ did a fantastic job helping me find an apartment when I moved to New York. I had looked at a bunch of very cookie-cutter apartments in big buildings and wanted to find something different. When it comes to smaller buildings, it can be hard to find what you are looking for on your own in an efficient way. PJ knows the market well and, more importantly, he paid a lot of attention to what I was looking for and what I was not. He put together a great list of apartments for me and when I found the right one, he was highly diligent and effective in helping me get through the co-op approval process.” August 18, 2011"
  - Alex Iannaccone

• "“Miron Properties was the best real estate broker firm I have worked with in NYC. We had a very tight timeline to find an apartment, and PJ Griswold was extremely timely and accurate in showing us what we wanted to see in an apartment. We found something in 3 days, and moved in May 1st - we love living there! I highly recommend Miron Properties and PJ Griswold.” August 19, 2011"

Ben Getman

• "My wife and I came flew into the city for the wknd to find an apt over a three day stretch. We had been monitoring the apt market on craigslist, etc and started to notice the repetition of photos (often not the apt you end up seeing) which makes things seem sketchy. If you don''t live in the city yet, than you''ll just have to go with your gut on who to work with by the vibe you get on the phone or email.
  
  We had a good few weeks worth of phone calls with Ben (Ben Getman), who at the time was working indepently as a no fee broker and now with Miron Properties (as we just learned). There are many reasons he was great, most importantly is that he listened to our "must haves" and created an organanized list of scheduled apt''s to view on one of the three days there. Also, his demenor was very professional yet laid back (which is verrrry hard to come by). After about a 3-4 hrs of looking, we sat down and had a beer with him and to talk about how well each of the apt''s matcged our wants/needs. We signed that afternoon after walking around the neighborhood (86th b/w 3rd and 2nd area). Below is what we asked of him and he delivered.
  
  Devote your time to him and it pays off! : )
  Good luck with your hunting!"
  - Aaron B

• "Ben was a friend of a friend but now he is just a friend. We spoke for maybe 10 min on the phone and he asked a lot of questions. The next day he had a detailed spreadsheet with all the information on 10 apartments that we saw.
  
  Each apartment on his list fit all my detailed criteria but he said the first one will be it. It took about 4 hours but he found it, and I signed the lease that day. I am sitting on my sofa now where Ben said "this is the one" and yes it was the first one he showed me.
  I wasted 3 hours a night for 4 months searching for what he showed me in 1 day. Huge 1 bdrm on 79th st"

Julia Segal

• "Having never lived in New York, our son''s search for an apartment convenient to NYU. At first the task seemed overwhelming. We contacted Julia Segal at Miron who scheduled several Manhattan apartments to see during our short trip to NY. Several other brokers we contacted in Brooklyn never followed through. Julia said "no problem" and located a couple of apartments for us to see in Brooklyn the next day. First one we saw my son decided to take. It was what he was looking for. Julia went out of her way to smooth the rental process, including getting a lease signed Monday morning after an application was submitted Saturday afternoon! Good people to work with. I recommend them to anyone."

May Amos

• "Thanks May! You were wonderful!!! We will stay in touch and we will invite you to our 1st party at the new apartemnt! See you soon!!"
  - Ash

• "Professionalism, market knowledge, dedication, results driven- characteristics every broker should have. Personal connections, concern for your happiness, charisma- additional characteristics that are rare to find all in one broker. Yet, I found all these things when working with May Amos from Miron Properties.
  
  I moved to NYC on short notice for my company who is establishing their presence on the East Coast. I had never been to NY and was working with a very tight timeline. Thank goodness I was able to work with May Amos who took me under her wings and found the best possible living situation for me.
  
  With a quick phone call, May asked me very pointed questions to understand what was most important to me- everything from area, finances, amenities, transportation...you name it!
  She took the time to educate me on what to look for and what was available in my price range. One week later when I arrived in NYC- she had a full day of amazing properties ready for us to view- organized by area.
  
  She took me around and showed me the different burrows and what each had to offer. I could tell by her organizational skills that by the end of the day we would find my perfect NYC apartment.
  
  May was greeted warmly by the staff from each of the properties I visited so I could tell she had a good relationship with them and was not showing me properties she did not have experience with.
  After viewing each apartment she would gauge my interest and it became clear she soon had a better understanding of what I wanted in an apartment than she did!
  
  Needless to say- by the end of the day I had found my perfect place and 6 weeks later I still feel that way. It was good to see about 5 other properties though- to understand the market and what was out there.
  I was pleasantly surprised by my first broker experience.
  
  May was the first friendly face I saw in NYC- and her professionalism and dedication to helping me find the perfect apartment with little effort on my end was the best possible situation for me. I would recommend her as a broker to anyone- whether you''re moving to Manhattan for the first time or have lived her all your life."

Eyal Amir

• "Eyal is a true professional. He knows his market very well and takes time to understand who you are as people, what you are looking for from a property and how he can help you. Compared to other brokers, he only viewed properties with us that were right up our street and fitted the bill perfectly against what we had asked him to help us find.
  
  He is personable, always available to help and buy the end of our rental search he felt like a friend.
  
  I would highly recommend Eyal to anybody looking for property in NYC."
  - Sara H.

• "It was a pleasure to have had Eyal as a Real Estate Agent. He was a breath of fresh air after having gone through many agents in the city. I absolutely recommend his service to anyone."
  - Vinna K.

• "Eyal has shown tremendous insight, proficiency and skill as a real estate agent. I hired Eyal to find a new owner for my apartment and on both occasions (there were two) he was able to find an owner that fit my exact requirements, and within one week! An incredible feet considering it was low season. I highly recommend Eyal. Warm, friendly and efficient!"
  - Anne-Marie V.

• "Eyal was my broker for my most recent apartment search in NYC. Finding an apartment in NYC is beyond stressful, especially with several brokers trying to force you to sign any lease to get their payout. Eyal is NOT like this. He took time, right before the winter holidays, to show me several places until I found one I liked. He paid careful attention to what I wanted; from location, price, size, quality of building, etc. He was patient with me as I''m quite picky and we ended up finding an apartment that we LOVE. The building is exquisite as are the folks who work there. Eyal made the search less stressful and at no point did I feel pressured to sign a lease. He worked with me until the last minute (Christmas eve) to ensure we found a place we loved. He is always incredible nice and personable. I have recommended him to several colleagues and friends as a result and wish him the best of luck in 2011. He''s a gem amongst money-hungry brokers in NYC and you can''t do better"

May Amos

• "I wanted to express my gratitude for all your help. I appreciated you taking the time to understand what is important to me in an apartment and for your tour of the city! I am very excited for my new place and hope we continue to stay in touch. If you ever need a reference I have a very high opinion of your work and would be glad to pass that along!!"
  - Jessica B.

Gabrielle Lipton

• "I accidentally came across Gabby while browsing Craigslist and started working closely with her after we first met.
  Gabby is by far the most professional, efficient and courteous person I have had the pleasure of working with. She amazed me from the get go by her ability to come prepared with the right apartments, by her punctuality and her endless positive attitude.
  
  I have worked with many brokers to date and not even one came close to Gabby's level of enthusiasm and professionalism.
  I have referred at least 4 more friends after I met Gabby knowing that if she is going to take care of them they'd be in the best hands possible.
  
  
  Thank you for your time and please continue this tradition of working with people who actually care, this may eventually change the perception of the broker and rental industry altogether."

  - Tania R.

• "If you are looking for an apartment in NYC, you need to get in touch with Jeff Schleider at Miron. Miron is his company and it shows - he knows the market inside and out and is able to get you into great apartments at a moment''s notice because of the relationships that he''s developed with landlords and management companies all over the city. Halfway through our search, we had a change of heart in what we were looking for and Jeff was able to change gears and line up 8-10 apartments early the next day."
  - Stacey S.

• "After we encountered a classic bait and switch situation in the financial district, we contacted Miron properties and talked to Jeff. Taking into consideration our short deadline for finding a place, he sprung into action immediately. He showed us like 6 apartments the next day which were actually cheaper than what we had in mind.
  
  We wanted to see more places before making a decision so the next day (Sunday) Jeff sent Raul Mero from his office to show us more places. They found us a great place on Ave C which we really liked and got us a discount on the monthly rent, in addition, they were flexible in negotiating a fee..
  
  I have dealt with so many brokers in NY, and I have to say these guys acted like professionals and did not pressure us.
  
  They had a great variety of places to show which really helps when making a decision.
  
  Finding a good apartment in NYC can be a very painful experience, the guys at Miron definetly made it easier for us."

May Amos

• "Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for all the time you spent with us on the apartment hunting. Not many would go through all that rain from building to building showing us all those different places. You were very professional and personally committed to helping Jennie find the right place without applying pressure. And then coming back the next day to help finish the finding of the right place.
  
  Wish you the best in your future and thanks again, for me it was a very interesting and enjoyable adventure in the "city"."

Eyal Amir

• "My brother and I recently rented an apt in the West Village through Eyal Amir from Miron Properties and I have to say that the service, attitude and process were fantastic. Eyal was super friendly without being aggressive or pushy like many of the other agents we''d dealt with in the past. Overall, he helped make a typically grueling process super easy..."
  - Dan B

• "I''ve dealt with what seems like almost every other Real Estate company/ broker in New York City over the past five years. Although I have found apartments in the past with the help of others, it has NEVER been as smooth as dealing with Miron Properties.
  
  I found my apartment in less than two weeks because my broker Eyal Amir actually listened to what I wanted and showed me nice, clean, and safe buildings! Although I liked almost every apartment he showed me, he never pushed me into getting one that I didnt want. He was very professional and worked around my crazy work schedule.
  
  Eyal, you are AMAZING, professional, and a pleasure to work with! THANK YOU!!!!"
  - Sarah L

• "Eyal energetically showed us the apartments we inquired about, and talked with us on a friend-level to better understand our needs. He is an honest realtor, and will cater to your needs without trying to place you somewhere unfit. He has all the insider information you will need, and won''t steer you wrong. After weeks of searching, Eyal made things so much easier for us. He wants you to find your perfect home, and with his help we found ours!"

Furthermore, he streamlined all the additional work, making it a very easy and painless process."
  - Evan S

• "I found an apartment on Craig's List and Jeff was the landlord's broker. Unlike most brokers, Jeff was great to work with. He is very friendly and knowledgeable.
