The last few days have been a blur, so I am only now getting a chance to sit down and write you a note of rather extreme gratitude. You have been absolutely amazing throughout this whole process - kind, helpful, and diligent. You are far and away my new gold standard for what a realtor should be and do, and setting a very high bar in the process! I can't thank you enough for everything that you, Julianna, and your colleagues did to help me end up in this apartment. I'm thrilled to be here. If there's ever anything I can do to be of help with anything, just say the word. And the next time anyone I know is looking for apartments in Northern Manhattan, I know who I'm telling them to call.

Everything moved so quickly with the help of Greg and Sovereign Associates! I got a job on the spot on a Thursday and saw apartments on Friday and got the keys on Saturday. Greg is amazing!! Who has ever heard of such a thing in NYC?! If you need to find an apartment, I suggest you go with Sovereign because their ability to find exactly what you want and need is unparalleled. We literally took the first apartment because he nailed it immediately! Thank you, Greg!

We had the pleasure of working with Greg as our real estate agent, and we couldn''t be happier with the experience. From the get-go, Greg displayed a remarkable balance of professionalism and approachability. He was thorough in his approach, taking the time to understand our needs and preferences without ever making us feel pressured. What truly impressed us was Greg''s extensive knowledge of the neighborhood where we were looking to rent. His connections and insights were instrumental in finding us an apartment that was the perfect fit. His friendly demeanor and genuine interest in helping us find the right home made him a pleasure to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend Greg to anyone in search of a real estate agent who is not only well-connected and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about their clients'' needs and preferences.

Marina helped us in finding an apartment in New York City. Since we do not know anyone in New York City, we contacted her from India regarding an apartment, and she is one of the most trustworthy mediators. After landing in New York, she showed us several apartments as promised. After finalizing one apartment, she processed our application with Sovereign very quickly and gave us the keys. We thank her a lot for her genuine service and help.

Classy, patient and consummately professional; Ms.. Hawkins opened the door and quietly invited me to look over the place at my own pace and with my own eyes. It was so refreshing to view an apartment in peace, without ever once being told what I needed, what I wanted, what I could afford, where I could put my furniture and what were the advantages of the neighborhood I had already chosen to hunt in . . . If you would like to feel respected, given straightforward answers to questions you ask and time to think for yourself about how an apartment will work for you and your family? Work with Annie Hawkins!
