MNS

A pleasant surprise for a broker in NYC. I had quite specific tastes and she found me the perfect apartment on only our second viewing! Selin Dearborn is your lady. Responsive, thoughtful and very accommodating.

I never thought I’d be writing a 5 star review for an NYC broker, but I had a fantastic experience with Selin Dearborn and her colleague Alexis Smagula at MNS. I initially contacted Selin about one of her listings about 2 months ago. From the start, I was really impressed by her integrity — when I asked about making an appointment for another listing, she told me that she could show it, but that I’d be better off contacting the listing agent since it would be no fee that way.
My boyfriend and I ended up postponing our move until May, and Selin followed up in late March with a few great listings that matched exactly what I had told her we were looking for. Several other brokers I had previously been in touch with had promised to do the same, but Selin was the only one who actually did. We put an application in on one, and despite being out of the country on vacation, Selin helped us through the process over email (with heroically quick replies, I might add) and also put us in touch with her colleague Alexis to help out. Between the two of them, they helped to negotiate the terms of the lease on our behalf, despite some past credit mistakes. We could not have done it without them! They were professional, efficient, honest, and really seemed to have our best interests at heart — even though it was a no fee apartment. I highly recommend them both!

We recently used this company to move into our dream apartment and it was an absolute delight. Zaghir Ahmed was the best real estate agent I have worked with to date, he is a consummate professional, prompt in response time, attentive, understanding and patient. We LOVE our new place and could not have been more pleased with the service we received.
I would highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Zaghir Ahmed as your agent at MNS. My husband and I had the good fortune of working with him to find an apartment in Fort Greene in fall 2015. From the first viewing to signing the lease, everything happened within 48 hours. I’m convinced that we were only able to lock down a place we really liked in such a short time span because he was very communicative, clear with instructions and details, and reliable in every step along the way.
He is very attentive down to the smallest detail. He will even remember things that were briefly mentioned in passing and follow up on everything. He is also very transparent and trustworthy – he didn’t push us to place a deposit or sign at the first moment’s notice, nor did he overinflate any details about the apartment. It’s such a rare quality to find in a real estate agent, someone who will really take your best interest to heart. He even negotiated some of the terms of the lease on our behalf.
This experience has taught me that not every realtor is cut from the same cloth. Finding housing is stressful, especially in New York City, but I learned that it doesn’t have to be that way. When the time comes for us to look for another place, we will seek Zaghir’s help again.

Zaghir at MNS was incredibly helpful and actually restored my faith in realtors in this city. He was very open, honest, and transparent. I highly recommend his services.
