Testimonials

Grant Braswell is Awesome! I'm interested in joining the real estate industry as an agent so I called his office to ask a few questions after reading raving reviews. He kindly stayed on the phone with me for almost 30 minutes! Not only did he answer my questions but he openly talked about the industry and all the great things it has to offer. If you are thinking about getting into the business or have any real estate needs I suggest you give them a call!!

My wife and I were thrilled to find the Braswell Team through Yelp! We wanted to sell our apartment in Manhattan and needed a reliable and trustworthy agent to represent us because we live in San Francisco. From the initial phone call to the closing date, Grant was always helpful, responsive, and professional through and through. We couldn't be happier having more than 6 offers in a week and sold our place at a well-asking price within a month. Thank you Grant, Corey and Huma once again for a job well done! We highly recommend the Braswell Team if you ever consider using their service.

I worked with Jennifer to rent a coop apartment that she was representing, and I have to say, I've never worked with a more helpful, professional and genuinely nice broker. Even though she was working for the subletter, she helped me through the arduous process of submitting materials to the coop board and went out of her way to make sure the apartment was cleaned and ready for me to move in (she even shuttled herself from Manhattan back out to Queens just to give my key to the super when I couldn't get out of work to do so). She goes above and beyond and is a joy to work with. I will definitely be calling upon her the next time I have to find a place!

I just moved to NYC and had heard horror stories about finding a place. Grant knocked it out of the park on all accounts! He put my needs as first priority, found places that fit my exact specifications immediately and was able to line them all up efficiently so I didn't waste time looking! I found my ideal place within a day (even though we looked at tons of places in person! and even more online!) On top of that, he is simply a great person to chat with and puts you at ease. I think the most important part is his honesty - you don't have to worry about scams or unknown fees etc. that are the horror stories you hear about looking for NYC apartments. Reach out if you need to find a place!

How can I start thanking Grant for being probably one of the few most decent, genuine, honest, professional, down to earth, caring, empathetic, and fantastic person to deal with. Coming to New York, I was freaked out with the reputation of brokers. I had a few craigslist listings I went too. Then went with others who were clumsy, wasted my time, and walked me through 6 showings that they only had access to show one. Then I met Grant and he was AWESOME. Extremely honest and caring, he took me through several fantastic places and helped me land the one I loved in no time. Grant is also great in following up, he responds in no time to emails and calls. After 6 months of my rental, I reached out to him. Although there is no business interest and I am not providing any more fees to Grant, he stood by me and recommended a couple of solutions that were amazingly helpful. I have a lot of respect for someone with high integrity, experience, and support. I wish everyone in New York and world's real estate market have these values. I would recommend Grant blindly for anyone who is interested in a rental in New York. Respect and a lot of appreciation for your hard work man.

Grant is amazing! I moved here from the bay area in September. I found Grant on Yelp and he was the only realtor out of three that I called to promptly return my call. He was actually vacationing at the time. That said a lot to me! I was looking for a rental but ended up buying a condo. Buying in NY is a bit of a nightmare but Grant was amazing to work with. He was patient and always listened to what you wanted. A lot of the agents in NY give you what they want and work on their timeline and not with your timeline. Fast forward some months and due to some flooding issues with the new condo our insurance hires their own broker to find us temporary housing. Working with this broker and another agent only reconfirmed my feelings for Grant. He is great at what he does and really cares about his job. He doesn't have an attitude with you and works with you. If you want a nice smooth transition from home to home Grant is your man!

Last year my fiancé and I were burned by a not-so-good broker who only selected apartments that were BOTH out of our price range and extremely mediocre. This year we decided to be much more careful when selecting a broker and we were SO happy to have found Grant. We had a long list of must-haves from neighborhood to kitchen requirements, so in short, we presented a bit of a challenge. Grant was patient and extremely responsive. At the height of our search he would meet with us multiple times a week to make sure we were always getting first crack at apartments. And even when we shot down places because we didn't like the block or the kitchen was too dark or whatever, Grant never wavered or complained. He would take our feedback and refine the search. In the end, Grant found us a better apartment than we thought possible. All in all, we could not be happier with our apartment and recommend Grant to anyone who needs help finding a new home.

We could not have asked for a more helpful agent than Haim Farkas. We were moving in from Chicago and only had one day to view places, so we wanted to make sure that we spent our time wisely. Haim was super responsive to all of my (very long) emails, not missing any details. If he didn't have the answer to one of our questions, he let us know, and then reached out to whoever he needed to in order to confirm all of the information with us as quickly as possible. While I'm sure he was working with other renters, it felt like all of his attention was given to us - emails and calls were replied to within minutes, even after business hours. Haim walked around Manhattan with us in the pouring rain showing us places, making sure that we were comfortable the entire time. He gave us advice while being sure not to sway our decision in either way. We felt like Haim was more of a very helpful, resourceful friend than just an agent. I definitely recommend him to everyone, especially people moving into NY from out of town.

As a first time buyer, I was super intimidated by the aggressive nature of the NYC real estate industry. Before working with Grant at The Braswell Team, I spoke to a ton of agents but never felt an honest enough connection to start taking my apartment search seriously. Grant gave me a call in response to a listing inquiry, & immediately made me feel comfortable & safe. He answered all of my questions elaborately (there were a lot of questions), & sent me a variety of helpful resources to educate me on the process. Utilizing the Compass app made it very easy to explore & discuss listings with Grant, & he was super-fast in reaching out to property owners to set up viewings. Grant never once pushed me to consider a property that wasn't within my financial means (if anything he level-set me when I was reaching above my budget), & was completely supportive of me while I navigated through each of the process milestones with mortgage lenders & property managers. I recently closed on my apartment & could not be happier with my experience with The Braswell Team.
