"New to New York, my wife and I, and our son, daughter in law and grandchild decided to buy a house together. We asked Burton to help. Having bought 7 houses in the past in other states, we have never worked with an agent this organized, efficient and really willing to go the distance. Our housing needs are somewhat unique and our desires (4 adults) changed a bit as we explored housing options. Burton patiently walked us through viewings and helped find the house we wanted. Burton then connected us with a great team from home inspection, mortgage broker, to real estate lawyer. Absolutely thrilled with Burton's professionalism and knolwedge! " - John P. February 2024

"I'm delighted to recommend Burton, and will absolutely work with him again in the future. I first approached Burton for advice when selling my apartment last time, and his assessment and recommendations were so helpful. I knew I wanted to work with him when we looked to buy an apartment in Brooklyn and he did not disappoint. It was a long and complex process navigating financial deals and he helped provide visibility and transparency during an otherwise opaque and confusing high-stakes transaction. We felt very taken care of and knew he was always advocating for us and keeping things moving towards a successful closing! He brought humanity and humor too- which put us at ease. Thanks Burton! " - Casey Y. July 2023

"Burton was extremely wonderful to work with! We were moving from out of state and not really familiar with the NYC rental market and how much of a bear it is. Burton texted me a listing that just hit the market within a couple hours on a Friday, virtually toured it for us that same day, helped us gather everything and submit our application and by Monday we were accepted and got the apartment!!! I’d recommend him to any friends or family looking to move to the city. Thank you again Burton!!!" - Courtney, May 2023

"Burton Frey is an exceptional realtor! He helped me relocate from Texas to Manhattan. He made the process quick and easy. He was quick to respond with any questions we had, and he took the time to help us fully understand all of the documents we needed to acquire before starting our search. Once we were in Manhattan, Burton put together a great schedule for us to see multiple apartments in different neighborhoods. Within two days, I found my dream apartment. Burton helped us with the application process and assisted us with all of the contracts and communications with the landlord. The experience overall was wonderful and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to find a place in NYC!" - Shelby, July 2022

★★★★★
" Working with Burton to help find our new apartment was the best decision we could have made. I am so thankful for his insights, effort, thoroughness, and care throughout every step of the process. His expertise in guiding us through the twists and turns and paperwork was such a gift. Burton had such great instincts for apartments that would make us happy, and he stayed with us through our own process of discovery as we learned about neighborhoods and layouts that best suited us. We will absolutely call on Burton again for future real estate needs!" - Jenna E., June 2022

"Thank goodness for Burton! He had to navigate a number of hurdles when it came to finding me an apartment, including my abnormal income situation and the fact that I have an ESA. He handled all of it with grace and composure, even when we encountered an equally abnormal situation with the apartment I eventually signed a lease for. Would highly recommend him, especially to people in the entertainment industry! He understands how to make your application look the best. 5 stars!" -Aja A. February 2023

"Burton was the absolute best. He helped me find an apartment that I am absolutely obsessed with- but more than that, he helped me not panic during my search, was always hopefully, and made sure that my applications were clear and concise. I got a rent stabilized apartment that was pretty much exactly what I was looking for amenities wise. I would recommend him to everyone." - Dylan G. October 2022

"Burton is the best! He helped me secure my new studio in the Turtle Bay area, and he was extremely helpful throughout the process. I especially appreciated his responsiveness -- whenever I had a question or a concern, Burton got back to me quickly. It was a relief to have a broker so dedicated to getting it right." - Jack R. September 2022

"My boyfriend and I were just starting our apartment search when we were referred to Burton. We both expected our first phone conversation with Burton to last 10, maybe 15 minutes… an hour after later, we hung up with Burton and we knew he was the right broker for us. I knew my boyfriend and I had some high asks for an apartment in our price range, but we felt good about working with Burton. He found a place for us in less than 24 hours- and it met almost all of our hopes and dreams. He negotiated a great deal for us and we felt taken care of and had no stress throughout the entire process. Our circumstances may have been special, maybe the stars aligned in our favor, but we could not be more pleased with our experience with Burton. Will be singing his praises for years to come." -Anna S. March 2022

★★★★★
"My spouse and I were making a cross country move to New York and were overwhelmed by the wide range of apartments that were available. We were unsure of what we wanted to prioritize during our search. We communicated our potential interests to Burton, and he very thoughtfully curated a list of showings that really helped us set our priorities. Throughout the showing, we could see the effort that he put into understanding our needs, Thanks to him, we were able to find the perfect place on the first day out searching for apartments! In addition to being very attentive, Burton was such a joy to spend the day with! He is incredibly patient and was very helpful in answering all our questions. We highly highly recommend Burton!" - EJ B. February 2022

★★★★★
"I was recently transferred from Brazil to the US and Burton was fundamental during my search for an apartment. While trying to find an apartment on my own I only had disappointments, a lot of stress and still wasn't able find a single one that matched my criteria, once Burton came in everything went smoothly. After a long and super tailored call with Burton and his team they asked me a lot of questions and perfectly understood what I was looking for. They successfully put up a perfect list of apartments and made the impossible possible, I was able to visit several apartments and sign and close the perfect one all in 48h, prior to my return to Brazil for the year end holidays. Burton did a tremendous work, answered all my questions and supported me throughout this stressful process. I strongly recommend his work to everyone!!" -Jordana F. January 2022

★★★★★
"When relocating from upstate New York down the city, Burton lead a tremendous effort to find me a perfect apartment. Burton met me in the city, greeted me with a smile, became familiar with my situation and what I was looking for, and coordinated a targeted search to that criteria so that we maximized my time there. Burton was candid with me, shared personal experiences, gladly answered my long list of questions, and guided me through touring and ultimately securing my apartment. Burton and his team take much of the stress and legwork out of the apartment search, and I'd strongly recommend Burton to others." - Ryan L. December 2021

Thanks for all of the help Burton!" - Nick M. July 2023
