"Daoud was super efficient, which worked perfectly with my roommate's and my crazy schedule. He showed us a bunch of apartments in the span of one morning and we were able to make the decision really quickly. He guided us through the application process and answered all of our questions (and we had A LOT) without even a hint of annoyance and gave us wonderful and much-needed advice on things pre and post move. Love Daoud, he's the best." - Zainab
"Working with Daoud was absolutely perfect. From our initial consultation to signing the lease, he was very thorough and always made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. I had a very particular idea of what I was looking for, and he sent me a map of the numerous places we would look at that day which I thought was a nice touch. He made sure to understand my pros/cons for each one, and when I found my dream apartment he was very expedient in submitting my application and helping to eventually secure the apartment for me! He knows the Harlem area quite well, and provided great insight into which buildings would work best for me giving my criteria. If you are moving to NYC or just looking to switch apartments within the city, I highly recommend reaching out to Daoud to find your dream home!" - Jackie
"We had the pleasure to work with Daoud Heidami when we were searching for a two-bedroom in the city. It was absolutely delightful to work with him. He was reliable, professional and above and beyond helpful from start to finish. We had many special circumstances and he worked hard to find the apartment that was perfect for us. He also very quick to respond to phone calls, texts and emails- even on the weekend and during evening and early morning hours. We highly recommend requesting Daoud to help you with your next apartment search. He'll make it as easy and painless as possible!" - Brandi
