I had such a great experience working with Bar finding an apartment on the Upper West Side. He took me to some excellent options around the city that gave me a perspective on what's out there in my price point. When I chose an apartment I liked, he was able to negotiate a great deal with the management company. Very much recommend working with him to find your next home!

Bar is an absolute treasure of an agent. He's kind, listening and accommodating. His inventory is great! Would recommend 10/10.

Bar was amazing! He was so helpful and understanding of my needs. He became a friend to me rather than just an agent. He made the process very easy and less stressful. I will definitely work with him again if I need another apartment in the future. Thank you so much again for all your effort, Bar!

Wanted to come in here and say how incredible of a job Bar Kroitoro did in helping me find the perfect apartment. He didn’t waste any time, he wasn’t there to just cut a deal and move on. It was truly a fantastic experience and couldn’t have asked for a better broker and now good friend!

I worked with Noah Caspi and it was a 10/10 wonderful experience. Can't speak highly enough of him - incredibly organized, helpful, and professional.

We used Tal Hait for our apartment search and were very impressed with how, in a short manned of time he was able to line up so many apartments for us to view. We were out of towners (from North Carolina) and really appreciated how he valued our time by lining up everything so we could literally fly in to NYC, tour multiple apartments and be able to shortlist. He shortlisted spaces for us ahead of time, taking into consideration every single “must haves” and I am very happy to say that we finally were placed in a beautiful apartment in a great neighborhood, very close to work with wonderful amenities in the building. Tal’s professionalism, patience and diligence far exceeded our expectations and we wholeheartedly believe that our apartment search could not have been smoother without his help. If anyone needs help finding a space to make your home in NYC, without hesitation we highly recommend using the services of Tal. Thank you Tal, for all your help, your knowledge of the city and your patience. We could not have done this without you. Rohit S (for Rhea)

I cannot express enough how outstanding Bar and the entire Eshel Team have been in assisting my wife and me in finding our home in the Upper West Side.

Bar exhibits a level of determination and commitment that I've never encountered before. He was constantly communicative, available, and went out of his way to understand our needs and preferences.
Once again, BIG THANK YOU!

Apartment hunting in NYC is quite possibly the most stressful process there is. But Sam Apfelbaum made the entire process so much easier!!

In our initial interaction, Sam set up viewings for 5 different buildings in the span of 2 hours. He gave us all the information up front and helped us make informed decisions throughout the process (best locations, mgmt companies, markets, etc.). He even went out of his way to spend 2 extra days searching different areas in NYC with us until we landed on the apartment we loved.

He listened to all of our feedback and our criteria and kept everything in mind when finding us apartments to see. I truly cannot recommend Sam highly enough. If you're in the market for an apartment in NYC, make sure to check out The Eshel Team and ask for Sam directly!

I wanted to take a moment to highly recommend Tal, our fantastic broker, who made our apartment search in Manhattan an absolute breeze. Tal's dedication was apparent as they listened to our preferences and needs, and their patience and respect throughout the process were truly appreciated. They were incredibly thorough and timely in their approach, ensuring we had all the information we needed. With Tal's expert guidance, we found the perfect apartment that checked all our boxes. If you're on the lookout for an exceptional broker who genuinely cares about finding you the right place, we can't recommend Tal enough.

Noah Caspi was absolutely amazing! Im not from NY (from the midwest)...So the Big city way of life had me a little intimated and I was concerned about being hustled into a bad decision. Noah, however, took the time to understand my preferences, needs, and priorities. He never rushed or pressured me into making a hasty decision.
I felt valued as a client and was able explore various options provided by Noah and his team at my own pace. I highly recommend The Eshel Team!

Searching for an apartment in NYC is tough, but Sam made the process a lot easier. We had a lot of time constraints with viewing potential apartments, but Sam went out of his way to make things work for us. He gave honest advice and presented a variety of apartment options to us. Even though we were searching in one of the most competitive times of the year, we are ultimately pleased with where we ended up. I will be recommending him to all my friends in the future!

Amazing!!

We worked with Samuel and he was absolutely amazing! We would highly recommend his services. He was unendingly patient, had a vast amount of knowledge about the neighborhood, the real estate market and answered all of our many questions. For moves in the future, we would 100% reach out to him again.

Tal Hait was amazing !! He found us the perfect apartment and made the entire process easy and efficient. He was so helpful and very responsive. We are so happy to have worked with him and will definitely reach out to him next time around!

Tal is an excellent agent. It was a pleasure dealing with him !!!

Tal was so helpful! Thank you so much

Very professional and devoted

We had the pleasure working with Tal. He was super pleasant and professional and helped us get our first apartment after moving here from abroad.
Would definitely recommend!

Tal was great to work with. He was very thorough and listened to all of my needs and was very easy to communicate with. He was very patient and went above and beyond up to the lease signing. Would highly recommend!

Samuel Apfelbaum went above and beyond to find us an apartment that fit all our criteria! He was really patient with us and very knowledgeable about the real estate market in NYC. He was a pleasure to work with!

Sam Apfelbaum was extremely helpful in finding me a place to live. He was patient and considered all of my needs when selecting what apartments to show me. After identifying the apartment I wanted to rent, he helped all the way through to lease signing. Highly recommend using Sam!

Tal was amazing to work with! He was incredibly helpful, honest, transparent, and kind - something rare with brokers. He had our best interests at heart and showed us amazing options that made our decision so hard! He was also very responsive and knowledgeable about real estate as a whole. He has great relationships with buildings which helps his clients like us. Next time I need to move again, I am definitely reaching out to Tal again. Can’t recommend him enough.

I had never used a broker before and can’t recommend Sam and the team enough - they access and curate listings I never would have found myself. On my first apartment tour, I found exactly the unit I wanted, in my desired neighborhood and under budget!

Sam Apfelbaum is incredible :)

We were working with a pretty tight budget but Sam went above and beyond to find the apartment that was perfect for us. It was clear that he had our best interest at heart because he showed us over 10 apartments and never lost his patience. He was super communicative and made sure to answer any questions we might have throughout the entire process. I have already recommended Sam to some of my friends because he was a pleasure to work with.

I liked working with Tal and the Eshel Team. Tal made the process of finding an apartment very very quick. His also responded to me very quickly. He was the first broker I worked it, and would highly recommend him.

Tal helped me find my future home in NY while I was still living in Miami and was incredibly helpful. He understood exactly what I was looking for and while I had a certain neighborhood in mind, he went the extra mile and showed me units across different areas to help me feel confident in my decision. I would recommend him to anyone -- the attention to detail and customer service he offers are unmatched!

We recently worked with Sam A. and had the BEST experience finding our new apartment. When we originally moved to NYC we had a tough time trusting anyone else to help us find our place. This time around we found Sam and he found us an amazing place on his first try. He really listened to our wants/needs and was very knowledgeable. He really made us feel cared for and heard.

I worked with Tal to find an apartment for me and 2 friends all moving from out of state this summer. It was definitely a trying task!! Tal was highly prepared, spot-on with his viewings, and very honest while guiding me through the process as a new New Yorker. I highly recommend working with him for your own apartment hunt!!

I cannot recommend Tal enough. In the toughest NY market, he made the experience of finding an apartment easy and manageable. He found me and my girlfriend amazing apartments at fantastic prices, that I would not have otherwise found. This is the person to have by your side when searching for the best home for you. Recommend 100%

"Tal was great to work with. He listened to exactly what we were looking for and stayed within our budget and other criteria. He didn't waste our time showing us places outside our price range or those which didn't meet our needs. He is personable, responsive, understanding and accommodating. He clearly knows the market, neighborhoods and buildings. We could tell he cares about the client and not just the transaction. He helped us find the perfect apartment. Highly recommend!"

"Tal was a great agent! He helped us find the perfect apartment, knowing exactly what we were looking for and sending us a listing as soon as it was on the market. He helped us get through the application process smoothly, and was always available to chat if we had questions. Loved working with him!"

"We worked with Tal - he was extremely available and communicative throughout the process. He helped identify multiple buildings and apartments and ended up negotiating a great deal on our now apartment. Would recommend Tal to anyone looking for a broker or apartment in Manhattan, we had a great experience working with him and are so happy with the results!"

"Without a doubt, Tal is the best real estate agent I've ever dealt with in any city. Trying to plan a cross country move to NYC comes with enough stress, but Tal was just the best. He answered my endless emails within my minutes and arranged viewings over one weekend on a tight timeline. Once in New York, Tal took us all over trying to find the perfect place. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly and fun -- not to mention great negotiator who helped us get exactly what we wanted at a fair price. He was also just fun to be around! I would not hesitate to recommend Tal to anyone, and I will most definitely been working with him again in the future."

“I worked with Tal, Has a lot of energy for the job, very responsive, worked for me, and gave detailed answers when felt needed. Was not over pushy, which I think is probably a trap for realtors in general. Would happily contact again.”

"My husband and I recently worked with Tal and Idan while looking for our current apartment! They were both such a pleasure to work with and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Tal and Idan were both extremely professional, communicative, and timely. They listened to what we wanted and quickly found us some fantastic options ! Once we found a place we loved, they managed all of the negotiations and made the lease signing easy! They have great relationships with excellent buildings in the city. We absolutely love our current place and can't thank them enough. We will definitely recommend them to friends who are looking and if you're looking for an excellent group of brokers, you've found them!"

“I worked with Tal Eshel and he was honestly the best representative I have worked with over the last 2 years. He is not only attentive to your needs but he also is honest about what would work best and things to consider during your decision making process. He is extremely detail oriented and was always available to answer my questions. I would HIGHLY recommend asking for Tal!"

Samuel was very understanding of the needs and requirements of my future tenants and I. The process was very easy and stress free and Samuel was very quick to get back to us with any questions and concerns that we had. 10/10 experience

I highly recommend Sam Apfelbaum . He helped my partner and me find our dream apartment in NYC with professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. Sam took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and he worked tirelessly to find us the perfect selection of apartments. His expertise and negotiation skills were invaluable throughout the entire process. We are thrilled with our new home and truly grateful for Sam's exceptional service!!!

My partner and I just moved to NYC and without having enough knowledge on how the market works Bar managed to help us navigating the several options and even more, he listened to what we liked and sourced the perfect match for us.
We could recommend Bar more to find the right place in NY

Sam Apfelbaum was great! Showed me so many options and didn't felt like I was rushed into a decision or forced to compromise at all - even with my many conditions he was able to find a place for me that was absolutely perfect. The entire process was straightforward and he helped me understand every part of it.

Sam is truly the best real estate agent anyone could be luckily enough to work with. He has been so insanely patient and helpful every single step of the way. Could not recommend him enough!!!

Bar was amazing in helping us find our dream home!!! From the beginning, his professionalism and expertise made us feel so confident and assured. In the midst of market uncertainties, Bar and the team had our best interests at heart, guiding us with valuable insights. His 24/7 availability and attention to detail went above and beyond, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and satisfying journey. We're so grateful for Bar's dedication in making our dream home a reality.

I worked with Bar Kroitoro &
it was a pleasure . He made the search process incredibly easy & tailored it to my every need. He was super responsive over text & calling and was able to make sure he got the job done in short time we had. I cannot recommend Bar and his service enough!

Noah is a very responsible person. He is very dedicating to his work. He always listens and tries to find places you like. He not only shows you apartments, but also tells you about the area and gives you advice so you can make the best decision. He even asks questions that you had not thought of. I highly recommend him.

Noah's knowledge of the market and personalized approach made our home buying experience a breeze. He patiently answered all our questions, negotiated skillfully, and ensured we got the best deal possible. Working with Noah was a pleasure, and we're grateful for his expertise in finding us the perfect home.

I worked with Sam. He has a lot of energy for the job, very responsive, worked for me, and gave detailed answers when felt needed. Was mindful of our timing needs and made it work. Would recommend.

Noah Caspi is a fantastic broker! He made apartment hunting very pleasant and significantly easier for me than what I've experienced in the past. He was extremely prepared, honest, insightful, and helped me find a great spot. Highly recommend him!

We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He listened carefully to our criteria, and then organized a consolidated tour to view all relevant properties at once (>8 apartments in 2 hours!), which allowed us to make an informed decision before applying

Throughout the entire process he was highly responsive. We would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a quick and pain-free apartment hunt!

Sammy was incredibly helpful & informative throughout the process, and made every effort to find an apartment that fit our preferences in a difficult market. He also would try to negotiate on our behalf for a lower price. He was patient when we did not like certain places and I would highly recommend working with him.

I got reffed to Tal from my friend of mine who used his services in the past.

From day one Tal has been very responsive and answered any of my calls/Texts/Emails within seconds!

Tal helped me find an apt super fast as I had 3 days to leave my old apartment.
Tal mad it seamless and super easy.

Best agents in New York!!
Loved working with this amazing team!

Helped me find the apartment of my dreams

Best experience ever !

Tal is an amazing salesperson. He was patient throughout the process and was never discouraged by the amount of phone calls and requirements we had, he always had a smile on and said he’ll make it happen - he found us a beautiful apartment and got us amazing terms 11/10 recommend!

Worked with Samuel Apfelbaum. Best broker in New York. Honest guy with amazing places. Does everything he can to make the process as seamless as possible. Wouldn't work with anyone else.

We worked with Samuel Apfelbaum and he was absolutely amazing! We would highly recommend his services. He was unendingly patient, had a vast amount of knowledge about the neighborhood, the real estate market and answered all of our many questions. For moves in the future, we would 100% reach out to him again.

Tal was amazing when looking for my future home. He was informative, detailed, nice and patient. I never felt rushed to make a decision. Highly recommend him, you won’t be disappointed! :)

Samuel Apfelbaum is the MAN when it comes to Real Estate. He is quick, intelligent, and knows how to get it done, YOUR WAY! Highly Recommended. A+++

Samuel Apfelbaum was one of the nicest and most honest brokers we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He took our wants and needs into consideration, brought us to multiple units in one day, and promptly followed up with details after the showings. He was very willing to negotiate with the buildings and get the best rates available on behalf of us. Samuel’s very communicative, transparent, and dedicated. I would recommend him to anyone looking for their next apartment!!

Sam was fundamental in helping me, and my roommates find our current dream apartment. He was more than willing to walk in the freezing cold on his Saturday to tour over 8+ apartments with us as we continued our search. With our budget, location, and amenity requirements, we asked Sam to show us a miracle, and he did! Thank you, Sam, for being such a gracious broker. I highly recommend using him if you are looking for your next dream apartment in NY!

Tal was AMAZING to work with!

Before we connected, I was struggling on my own to find a place in Manhattan. I was a little uneasy because I had a pretty limited window to get back to the city, and I needed to do it sight unseen. Thanks to him, I'm now in a GREAT apartment in Hell's Kitchen that literally checked all my boxes...and then some!

He is patient, meticulous, charismatic, flexible, fun, etc. etc...I can't say enough positive things about the experience! And while he showed me some awesome places via FaceTime in my desired neighborhood, he also made sure I didn't get tunnel vision. We checked out some solid units in nearby areas as well.

It's also been over a month since I moved in, and he still checks in to make sure all is good. I'm VERY appreciative of his help in getting situated back into the Big Apple :)

Tal is by far the best broker I've ever worked with. He was professional, had a positive attitude, and found me exactly what I was looking for. He was also always available to answer any questions and made the rental process go smoothly. I highly recommend working with him!

I highly recommend Tal and the Eshel Team. They helped us find our dream apartment rental in an ideal location. Tal was extremely knowledgeable about the market and the rental process, and he worked with our budget and priorities. We truly felt like we were in great hands. He was communicative and responsive to our many questions. Thank you Tal!

Tal is absolutely the best.
We were moving to NYC from Israel, and as you can imagine - this move includes a lot of question marks and uncertainty - dwellings being the first and most important one.
The moment we met Tal - we felt that uncertainty removed. Tal was able to understand our needs in an instant; he showed us multiple options, and continuously shared more options as they came up. He was always super flexible with us (being, to be honest, very annoying customers) and worked hard to understand and remove our concerns when possible, but also change his offerings when he realized something wouldn't fir out needs. He deeply cared about us also after the move, and we always felt like we have someone we can trust on the other side. And - he helped us understand what are the options and best way for us as dog owners, in areas that had nothing to do with his services as a broker.
On top of all - his relationships with the buildings helped us find the apartment we currently live in - which didn't get to the market at any point - so we could absolutely not find it without him.
Tal - you're the best!

Tal was amazing during our apartment search process. He got us the first apartment we looked at and wanted the most! I firmly believe that without his help and advice we wouldn’t have gotten approved for the apartment. He was very kind and understanding, and answered our many many many questions! He was there to help throughout the entire application process, and even after as we were sorting out stuff with building management! The information/advice he gave was 100% accurate and it was comforting to know how much he knew about the apartment buildings he works with. He was always a quick text and phone call away. As someone moving into the city from out of state, Tal helped so much in all the difficulties with the infamous NYC apartment search. Thank you Tal!

Tal was extremely helpful and instrumental in securing us an apartment on our ideal move-in date.

"I cannot recommend Tal Eshel enough! He helped me secure the apartment of my dreams and went above and beyond for me. He was always available for my calls, and I was always able to reach him with any questions. You really feel like you have someone on your side with Tal! If you get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend working with Tal, and can't wait to work with him again in the future!"

"In my experience Tal has been absolutely amazing to work with. I needed to find an apartment within 2 weeks, and Tal removed all of the stress of searching for me. He showed me lots of apartments that were exactly what I was looking for, and was very conscious to stay within the price point I had set. He also assisted me in getting paperwork in very quickly, during an unexpectedly busy time at work. He tailored everything to fit my situation - don''t know what I would have done without him. Hes easy and quick to communicate with, and I felt he answered all my questions honestly without bias, which in my experience, is difficult to find in a broker. Tal followed up consistently with me, to ensure everything was running smoothly, even after I signed the lease. He was the most professional broker I''ve worked with, and it was clear he had established relationships with the buildings we viewed, which was very reassuring. Will definitely use Tal next time I move, and will recommend him to anyone."

"We highly recommend Tal as an excellent resource if you need to find a luxury apartment. He has seasoned knowledge of the NYC market especially, Midtown West and Hell's Kitchen and honed in on our needs quickly and showed us several apartments each day over about 3 or 4 days. Sometimes we asked to go back to a building we had already seen but wanted to narrow down our choices. Tal was always happy to meet us and take us anywhere we wanted to go. From the beginning, we knew that we were lucky to find Tal and he showed us several apartments that were beautiful with great amenities which made it hard to choose. Tal is patient and was determined to find us a great new home. In the end, after many viewings, we ended up choosing a unit in the first building that he showed us. He respected the process of us needing to satisfy our curiosities by looking at our options in different neighborhoods. He has a very professional "no-pressure' approach which we also thought made the process easier. If we ever had questions, Tal always got back to us with answers/floor plans/prices within minutes and gave us excellent customer service. And all of this while not collecting any fee from us during the pandemic! We cannot say enough good things about Tal. He really is great at his job!"

"Working with Tal was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the process and helped me get approved for a great apartment very quickly. His expertise made the entire search and application process so much less stressful. He is an absolute professional in the business and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new apartment, especially if you're new to NYC like myself."

"It was challenging finding a suitable apartment for my daughter. Recommended by a friend Tal had access to multiple listings and the apartments were what we envisioned. He made the experience easy and enjoyable. We could not have done it without his help!"

"Are you looking for a broker? or a partner to search for your next apartment? Someone who can empathize with you and your requirements. Someone who knows the industry and has established relationships. Who is direct and unbiased, someone who looks out for your interest. Look no further than Tal and his team. Tal helped us explore the market, negotiated on my behalf, and got us a deal that I thought was impossible to get. He truly looked out for me. His insights and advice throughout the process made the whole process seamless and easy! Cheers Tal, and for anybody else thinking of renting an apartment in NYC do yourself a favor and talk to Tal."

"Don't shame me but I'll admit that I use these reviews to make decisions but almost never leave one but I just had to for this... Tal is awesome! I moved here last year from California where we do things quite a bit differently and somewhat overwhelming. I found my current place on my own and it was rough and saw things about fees and brokers and swore I'd be fine on my own. When I started looking for my new place I was hesitant to do anything with a broker but after meeting Tal I realized how wrong I was about letting a broker help because he made the whole process super easy and found me a place that had literally everything I asked for and more. He was a great guide throughout and couldn't be happier to have worked with him and happy to sing his praises... I'm in NYC for school and not sure how long I'll be here but if I stay and need a new place the first thing I'm doing is hitting up Tal for help!"

Sam Apfelbaum could not have been more helpful for me and my buddies. Everyone needs some guidance when searching for a new spot in NYC, but especially 3 kids who just graduated college and need somewhere affordable. He was very understanding in what we were looking for and did his absolute best to make sure we got a spot we wanted. I will for sure be sending his contact info to anyone my age moving to NYC in the future. Highly recommend using his services!

My partner and I had a great experience working with Noah Caspi. Noah is a dedicated, thoughtful broker who took all of our preferences seriously and showed us nice options that match our criteria. We appreciated Noah's flexibility to accommodate our schedules, negotiate on our behalf, and his honesty on which lease terms work best in our interests.

We would definitely work again with Noah in the future if we move, and we have already recommended Noah to our friends.

Noah was great, he handled everything and made our process as easy as possible. He was responsive at all hours of the day and was very diligent when it came to finding a place that met all of our needs. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

Samuel was wonderful to work with! He took time to show us many apartments in one day and really helped us make the right choice. He is extremely responsive and took extra time to answer any questions that came up throughout the process. Sam guided us all the way through the end of our lease signing. I highly recommend working with him!

Sam is incredibly helpful! He took me to multiple tours around the city based on my preferences and was extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, responsive, and honest. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment. He truly cares about his clients and always strives to find the best possible deal. I ended up finding a wonderful apartment, which he negotiated down multiple hundreds of dollars below asking price. You will not find a better broker!

Bar went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. He's been an absolute pro throughout the process and we just knew we were in good hands right from the start. Bar and the team had our best interest in mind and made us feel confident while navigating an uncertain market.

Sam Apfelbaum did an excellent job! He was able to get us the exact apartment we wanted while also negotiating down price and fees. We would never have found it without him!

I'm excited to share a glowing 5-star review for Tal Hait and his colleague, Bar.

Tal and Bar stand head and shoulders above the rest. The properties they introduced me to were consistently exceptional, and they have well-established connections within each building. During different property tours, I witnessed Tal bumping into past clients in the elevator – a live testament to the joy they bring to people's lives by helping them find their dream apartments. Their expertise, professionalism, and communication skills are truly unmatched. I look forward to sending friends and family their way, as I know that they'll be in the best hands. Thank you, Tal and Bar!

Samuel Apfelbaum was very helpful in answering our questions. He made the process of finding an apartment extremely easy. He did everything he could to match our specific needs to the perfect apartment for us. Will be calling Sam in the future should I need to move and would recommend Sam to anyone who asks for a broker in NYC.

We worked with Samuel Apfelbaum. He made our search process incredibly easy. He was responsive over text or over the phone, quick to convert our criteria into apartments we could tour, and amazingly courteous throughout the whole process. We can't recommend Sam and his service enough.

Noah is an exceptional real estate agent. He showed professionalism, expertise, and great attention to detail throughout the process. Noah listened to my needs, provided timely communication, and genuinely cared about my satisfaction.

Worked with Samuel Apfelbaum. Best broker in New York. Honest guy with amazing places. Does everything he can to make the process as seamless as possible. Wouldnt work with anyone else.

Sam was extremely patient and helpful in helping us find the perfect place for us. He is very knowledgable about the market and will make sure to check as many boxes as you need him to!

The Eshel team is the most professional and experienced I’ve worked with! They helped me from start to end, explained me everything I wanted and needed to know patiently, and got me the most amazing deal! I will definitely be working with them in the future!

Tal really got me a good deal, thanks!!

Tal was amazing and helpful!

I highly recommend Tal and the Eshel Group. They helped us find our dream apartment rental in an ideal location. Tal was extremely knowledgeable about the market and the rental process, and he worked with our budget and priorities. We truly felt like we were in great hands. He was communicative and responsive to our many questions. Thank you Tal!

We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He listened carefully to our criteria, and then organized a consolidated tour to view all relevant properties at once (8 apartments in 2 hours!), which allowed us to make an informed decision before applying

Throughout the entire process he was highly responsive. We would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a quick and pain-free apartment hunt!

Amazing service from Samuel. Very thorough and listened well to our needs, all units he showed us were exactly what we were looking for. Helped all the way until lease signature, highly recommend!

Tal was incredibly instrumental in finding the right apartment. His insights into the neighborhoods and buildings that fit my preferences really turbocharged my search. He instilled great confidence in me that we properly evaluated the options by thoroughly showing me various areas and buildings, leading to a terrific decision in the end. Throughout the entire process, Tal was positive and organized. He has always been easy to reach and communicate with, while also providing expert guidance all along the way. Would highly recommend!

Tal is the best broker I have worked with in NYC. He is honest, dependable, and charismatic. He ensures that his clients get the best of the best and gives valuable advice through the process. If you are looking for a great broker and a great apartment, Tal is the perfect person to help you find that.

Samuel Apfelbaum is an outstanding broker. He takes the time to listen to his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to make your apartment search a positive experience. Highly recommend!

Sam Apfelbaum was an incredible help to us! My husband and I were trying to go the non broker route and the process of finding an apartment meeting our budget/move-in date was becoming seemingly impossible. Sam came in with a calm, but confident attitude that immediately put us at ease. He put together a long list of places for us to see - a great variety of options - and he helped us negotiate our lease once we found a place. His help was invaluable and he is a fun person to work with.

I started looking for an apartment from abroad and Sam A. made it a seamless experience from start to finish. We sorted through several apartments via FaceTime and visited each apartment virtually. I needed to wait a couple of weeks before deciding and he was very understanding and patient given my situation. He is very communicative, professional and trustworthy. I will blindly recommend him to anyone looking to find a place in bustling Manhattan.

Tal was amazing to work with. I was able to find an apartment in NYC within a matter of days. Thank you so much for helping me find a home. I will definitely recommend Tal to my colleagues.

I highly recommend working with Tal. He helped me find someone to take over my lease quickly. His professional attitude and great care made the experience of finding the new renter stress-free.. He's the best!

We recently worked with Tal Eshel. He made the process of finding an apartment and signing a lease incredibly seamless and efficient. We love our apartment.

Tal was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of getting my apartment. Responded almost immediately after I initially showed interest and super communicative the whole way through. Also extremely patient when a few things were delayed on my end and worked hard to ensure I got the place even with said delays. Thank you!

Tal was exceptional. I provided him a list of what I was looking for, nice to haves and non-negotiables and I appreciated most he did not waste my time. Every unit we saw was exactly what I was looking for. He provided great guidance on the buildings and neighborhoods so I could make my final selection. In just a few hours I found my dream apartment and within a few days the entire process was complete. Coming from out of state I could not have hoped for a smoother apartment search and move. I recommend him 11/10!

"Tal was very professional, timely, and incredibly helpful when it came to finding my first NYC apartment. I would recommend Tal to anyone looking for a luxury apartment who wants someone to answer any questions they may have truthfully and with pleasure."

"Tal was the first broker I''ve ever worked with in my life. Previously, I had always been happy finding good places to rent by myself. When I decided to move to NYC, one of my friends mentioned that she had a great experience with a broker and asked if I wanted to talk to him. My first thought was "probably not", but I figured I had nothing to lose so I asked for his (Tal''s) contact info. I had a call with Tal and was upfront with him about my skepticism with working with a broker. I honestly just didn''t see a reason to work with one given that I''d been fine without one my entire life. However, he seemed very kind (as my friend had said), was very patient in answering all of my questions, and not at all offended about my direct line of questioning, including understanding his incentive structure or asking him to explain the benefits of working with a broker. I was unsure after our first call so I did some more research online about working with brokers in general and thought of more questions. I asked him for another call the next day and we talked for another half hour. What tipped me over the edge to decide to work with him was that he told me "he likes to invest in long-term relationships with clients". Although I had to take his word for it (and my friend''s positive referral, which was a meaningful indicator), I took a chance and said yes. My decision was made easier by the fact that I was moving across the country and that there were no fees on my side whatsoever. I sent a detailed email to Tal with all of the places that I was considering and notes on the kinds of spaces and requirements I had. He planned an 11a-4pm day of tours for me when I visited and we saw about 30 units in 9 buildings. It was a long day but gave me a very good sense of the options. I could also tell that he took my email to heart and tailored the tour for types of units that I would like. I walked away that day with one unit that I loved and another one that I liked and would also consider. We talked further and he offered to show me more units the next day, so we met again and he showed me 6-7 buildings and about 20 units. I really appreciated his willingness to show me even more apartments, even though I was feel pretty good about one unit that I saw that day. We even started an application for that building on the first day, yet he still was more than willing to put in the work to schedule a second day of appointments based on my feedback of places I had liked the first day. The entire time we were together, and during the decision making process, he never pushed me towards one unit or another. At the end, I decided on the second unit that I saw the first day. Price-wise, it was among the cheaper options, but he never pressured me to choose a more expensive one even though he might stand to make more if I did. I also feel lucky because the unit that I ended up signing wasn''t listed on any apartment search websites like StreetEasy! He also helped me with this place because he told me that shortly after we visited it, another person saw it and wanted to apply for it, but since he had showed it to me and had a relationship with the building owner, he was able to take it off the market if I was willing to move forward with an application. It''s an amazing unit at a good price and I feel so lucky to have found it with Tal''s help. I really felt like he had my best interests at heart all the way through, and I have to say that he won me over with his actions. I have talked with others who unfortunately have had bad experiences with brokers. If you go online, you''ll read about these bad experiences (not with Tal, but with brokers in general). However, working with Tal surpassed my expectations and if any of my friends move in NYC in the future, I''d be advocating for them to consider working with Tal because it was such a positive and productive experience. Especially now during the pandemic when the market has flipped to be very buyer-friendly and the buildings/landlords are paying the broker''s fee, I don''t see a reason not to work with someone like Tal."

"Finding a place from abroad is challenging in the best circumstances, but with Tal everything was made extremely easy. Tal’s guidance and responsiveness through the whole process was extremely comforting and a great stress-relief. In every way he could, he went above and beyond. His great insight on the various neighborhoods and buildings was extremely valuable for someone not from the US and having only visited NYC a few times. Working with Tal, I truly got a sense that he really takes to heart findings the right apartment that suits a client’s needs and wants. Ultimately, that’s what makes him such a great broker. Will definitely be recommending Tal to any friends and colleagues moving to NYC."

"I met Tal in 2019 during the research of my first apartment in NYC. What I immediately noticed was not only his extreme kindness but also his very professional and sensitive approach. Searching for a new apt is a tiring process that is even more tiring if you don't trust your broker. In a city like NY where brokers tend to have a "first come first served" approach, due to the high number of customers on the market, finding a broker who really cares of your needs, that is alwasy there ready to help and support you, with a sincere interest in your final satisfaction, it's rare and precious. That's why I choose Tal also for finding my second apartment in NYC, and the search was faster and easier due to this trust and professional support that Tal was able to establish with me since the very first time. Frankly, I will not need any other broker ever and, if possible, I would ask for Tal’s professional service even if I will need an apartment in another city. Absolutely a great choice."

"Tal was so professional and relatable! He took what can be an extremely stressful situation (especially in a city like New York) and turned it into something so easy! The only thing that was hard was choosing between all of the amazing apartments he showed us! He really honed in on our unique taste’s, and with his unlimited (or at least it felt unlimited to us!) he found exactly what we wanted! He even knew we would love it before we did! If we ever have to move again we will be reaching out to Tal, and we suggest you do too!"

"We worked with Tal Eshel over at ITE Team and it was by far the best experience we ever had working with a broker. He actually listened to what we were looking for and each place he showed us hit the mark. He actually consulted us, and guided us through the process. He is knowledgeable and professional. He consistently followed-up and followed-through. He represented our interests throughout the negotiations and got us the deal we wanted. If you are looking to rent an apartment in NYC I would highly recommend you working with Tal...you would be hard pressed to find a broker better than him."

"Tal's distinguishing feature is that he cares a lot about doing right by his clients. From the very first tour it was evident that he had listened to and acted upon our wishlist. He'd also contextualized that wishlist and our budget within ebbs and flows a rapidly recovering rental market. Tal cares a lot about value and seeks to help clients identify what matters to them and where they can get it at a competitive price. For me this meant - I got a lease with more space than I had asked for, with the exact suite of amenities that matter most to me, under budget, in a building I never would have thought to look at on my own. A housing search that I anticipated would be stressful, bureaucratic and complex, was made simple and satisfying because of Tal's commitment to making it so. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a place in NYC."

“I had the pleasure of working will Tal and I can't say enough good things about him! He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and showed me many options that were suitable to my needs. He has thorough knowledge of the market is very prompt at responding and scheduling viewings - he sped the process immensely and saved me so much time! Thanks to him I get to live in my dream neighborhood- I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new place to call home :)"
