My experience with Ivie Clifford was excellent!
I was moving from Europe and had an extremely limited time to search for an apartment. I commenced my search while still in Europe and due to the international nature of my move and the extremely tight timeline I had a large number of questions regarding the requirements for being able to rent in New York to which I needed answers in order to be able to prepare. I contacted several different brokers and Ivie was by far the most responsive! Not only did she go out of her way to respond to my complex questions via email but she even went as far as calling me in Europe to explain to me over the phone what my options were and how I needed to prepare.
As a result of the very helpful responses I received in the lead-up to my move, I did not hesitate to contact Ivie upon my arrival in New York. She immediately arranged a meeting and the same afternoon she showed me no fewer than eight apartments. She was very attentive to my wishes and priorities and as a result the apartments she showed me corresponded very well to what I was searching for in terms of location, size, amenities and budget. She was as helpful in person as she was over the phone and answered all of my questions clearly and gave me honest responses concerning the realities of the tough New York rental market. In one afternoon I was able to find an apartment on which I was willing to place an application. Prior to the lease signing Ivie was once again very helpful and effectively communicated with the management company on my behalf about the status of my application. She also gave me clear answers and excellent advice regarding how, as someone moving from another country, I could best satisfy the document requirements.
Thanks to all of Ivie?s effort my hectic move was made a lot less hectic than it otherwise might have been and I was within only a few days able to move in to my new apartment!
For all of the above reasons I strongly recommend Ivie!
