5/5
I absolutely hate apartment searching in NYC. I was lucky to come across an agent who made it rather enjoyable for once. Even through all my grumpiness and pickiness, Tony was extremely professional and persistent. He worked around my schedule and was fun to talk to, too. Usually I drop the agent after they've shown me the apartment that I made the initial appointment for because I know they'll just drag me around showing all the apartments they have within my budget, but they'll show me nothing that I'm actually looking for... but not with Tony. He listened carefully and immediately eliminated everything that he knew I wasn't looking for. He's very observant as well; I was beginning to grow tired from running around so he offered to call us an uber to take us to the next viewing. I actually ended up liking a lot of the apartments he had to show me because of this, and that never happens for me. He even made arrangements so I could see the unit like 5x before I decided to apply because I really wanted it to be the perfect apartment, with no compromise of any sort. Even throughout the application, he answered my many many questions thoroughly and almost instantly. He made sure I had all my paperwork in order and told me how to fill things out to make everything most efficient. I'm so glad I gave into his persistence at the start because I wouldn't have been able to move into the place I am in now, which is nothing below what I wanted. I highly recommend Tony at Scope Realty, he won't disappoint.
