"I cannot recommend Dominque enough to anyone looking for an apartment in NYC. We were making a cross-country move and had very specific requirements we needed for our next apartment, had to stick to stringent deadlines and do so from a distance. From the very first phone conversation we had with Dominique, he was polite, prompt, efficient, and thorough. He explained to us the ins and outs of the rental process without overburdening us with information. That same day, he sent us videos of off-market listings that were all closer to what we were looking for than anything we’d been able to find online up to that point. Since we could not visit the apartments in person, Dominique took the time to schedule apartment tours with us via FaceTime. For those we couldn’t attend, he sent us detailed videos. A day after our first conversation with Dominque, we found our dream apartment. Two days after that we signed a lease. Thank you Dominique!" - Moncef B.

"Working with Dominique was a truly fantastic experience. I was relocating to NYC from out of state. I reached out to several agents to assist me in finding an apt. All the responses I received were via text. Those texts were rather short and robotic. Dominique, however, reached out in a very warm text and then followed up with a call. He inventoried my likes, dislikes, and budget. We decided on a date and time to meet and from there we found my DREAM apt. We had approx. 8-10 appts that day and walked over 5 miles. Dominique was attentive and had lined up appts based on my interests. He kept meticulous notes on each apartment. By the end of the day, I was clear on the apt I wanted. He immediately sprung into action securing the apt for me by working with the building management and advocating for my interest. He is an avid professional and offered to go back and take measurements for me once the lease was approved. He kept in touch to ensure everything went smoothly. Working with Dominique was phenomenal. He has a warm approach along with incredible knowledge of the market.. I relocated a week ago. I LOVE my apartment. The view is fantastic. I’m convinced It would not have happened without Dominique by my side." - Michelle H.
