Ana Saljanin – Citi Zone Realty

Had an excellent experience locating a great apartment with Ana a few weeks ago. My boyfriend and I just relocated to Astoria, and we only had to spend one weekend looking at apartments with Ana. Within a few days, we had keys. I’ve never had such a smooth moving process. Ana Saljanin is very professional and warm, and she didn’t waste our time. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to move within Astoria.

Ana was absolutely amazing.
We had spent months looking for a new place and had so many terrible experiences with laughably terrible realtors, so we were very much on our guard when we met Ana.
From the first meeting, Ana was professional, friendly, and polite. She showed us exactly what we were looking for – none of that «oh no, that place I posted just went off the market, but I have this other listing…» business. She introduced us to the landlord. She was exceptionally accommodating when it came to seeing the apartment more than once and visiting her in her office.
It’s New York, and we had had so many bad experiences, we were waiting for the catch. No one can be that nice. The deal seemed too good. There had to be something. It was just a matter of time. But we’ve been living in the apartment for two months now and could not be happier. We’re really lucky that we met Ana. I would recommend her to any of my friends moving to Queens.

Ana helped my boyfriend and I find a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment in Astoria in just 1 evening!
I found the listing on Craigslist, and she replied to my email within a couple of hours. We then moved the communication to text messaging. We saw the place that evening and decided to take it a couple of hours later.
Ana made the process very simple and transparent. We even got the keys early! I would highly recommend Ana if you’re looking for a positive, open, trustworthy realtor in Astoria!

Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us find the perfect place to move into. She was knowledgeable, helpful and above all, nice! She had all the paperwork ready for us to sign and she made the transition smooth and fast.
I highly recommend Ana to work with. She is genuinely looking to help people find their perfect place. Thank you Ana!!!

Ana is extremely professional and courteous and knows the astoria rental market well. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to rent a place in the Astoria/​LIC area.

Ana was so wonderful! She was responsive, attentive, and was pro-​active. She found me my apartment and made it happen in a very short amount of time. I would absolutely recommend working with her!

(I made a Unilocal account just to give Ana a review, so this is my first review :))
I called Ana on a Saturday to see a 1 bedroom apartment in Astoria, and she scheduled to show it to me within 2 hours! I was the first person to see it, and wanted to put a good faith deposit on it, but wanted to do it via Chase Quick-​Pay. I was worried that someone else would put their deposit before I had a chance to get home and get to a computer and make mine, but she gave me her word that she’d be waiting for my deposit, and she most definitely did.
Because I just graduated from college and had just gotten a credit card, no credit score came back on my credit report. She explained things to the landlord and got me a meeting with him. We met at the office (Peter Horowitz Real Estate) and I was approved for the apartment!
There was a slight hiccup where I was missing a key from the bunch that was given to me, but it was the landlord’s mistake.
All in all, Ana is a wonderful person to work with, with a charming personality, and she got me a really great deal on a great apartment in Astoria. My coworkers are actually envious of me, since they’re paying the same price as me, but living in flexed rooms, while I have a 1 bedroom to myself! Thanks Ana!

I had the honor of having Ana as my broker to help me find an apartment for a long distance relocation. Ana is passionate about her job and genuinely interested in finding the best place for you. She went out of her way to help me find the perfect place for me to live. She even came in on her day off to show us a couple of places. She knows her stuff, cares about her clients, and is an awesome person. I really do suggest anyone looking for an apartment in the Queens area to reach out to Ana. You will be more than satisfied with the end result!
Thank you Ana!

I have only the best things to say about working with Ana. Dealing with her made the process smooth and painless. I would absolutely recommend Ana to any potential renters.
She did not play any «games» that you’ll often hear about. Instead, she was honest and upfront without being pushy in the slightest. Ana listened to what we had to say and her suggestions and comments reflected that. She responded to all of my texts and calls in a very timely, professional manner and when meeting up to see properties, Ana was always accommodating and flexible. Ana is also so friendly, constantly smiling and lightening the mood.
I’m not really sure what more you could ask for in a Realtor… if you are in the market for a home, I would definitely contact Ana.

If you’re looking for a straight-​forward broker in Queens, then reach out to Ana! She is resourceful, polite, honest and caring. She won’t steer you wrong.
I’ve been living in Astoria for 5 years and absolutely love it. I previously decided to move and was optimistic that I could quickly find an apartment in the same area. Note: I’m from PA originally and the rental process is ENTIRELY different there. Translation: I lucked out with my first place and had no clue how difficult it is to find a rental from scratch in NY. Anyway, after searching for a week to no avail and only having UNDER 30 days in NYC to find something (it’s the norm newbies… really), I had to MOVE (pun intended.) Ultimately, I decided to try a broker. After contacting 4 «local» brokers (traffic signals were more helpful), I started to lose hope, but then found Ana’s info on Unilocal.
I met with her (the next day) and discussed what I was looking for. She showed me a few beautiful places (that met my preferences.) Long story short, those didn’t work out and she didn’t have any new places until the following month. I said «okay», had a mini panic attack, but kept searching. Ana said that she would reach out if something new opened. About 24 hours later, she called and connected me with her co-​worker who had something. #truth #miracle #awesome
I checked it out… it was large space, well maintained, the landlords live in the same building, modernized and there weren’t any weird pauses, negotiations or anything like that. In other words… NO SURPRISES! Just the normal paperwork and that was that. Really!
In conclusion, if I ever needed to move again… Ana would be my go-​to, hands down.

Due to complications w/​a different Realtor, my girlfriend and I were all but homeless late last year. We were incredibly fortunate to find one of Ana’s posts on craigslist in such short notice. Our current apartment and landlords are great! Working w/​Ana was a pleasure, as she is incredibly personable and professional. A good Realtor is a powerful ally when you are in NYC, I’m glad I have Ana on my side!

I had the pleasure of working with Ana when I called about a posting on Craigslist for an apartment in Astoria. This was the first time that I had gone after apartments with brokers attached to them so I was a bit hesitant but I couldn’t be more pleased with getting to work with Ana.
Ana was extremely friendly but also very professional. I also appreciated that she was honest. She told me straight out that there were many other people interested in this apartment and that if someone else called before my deposit was in she had to give it to them. When I assured her I was interested she was nice enough to drop me off at the bank since it was getting close to closing time.
As the proceedings went on she made sure to explain all the processes, answer any questions that I had and made sure that I got what I wanted. For example: the apartment had security bars on some of the windows but not all. I told the landlord that I wanted them on all windows. They said that was no problem but Ana assured me that no lease would be signed until we made sure they followed through.
In the end I now have a great apartment and when the time comes down the road that I need to move again I will definitely be contacting Ana.
