Elegran Real Estate

I have worked with Elegran for the past few years and have found their listings to be reputable and agents to be knowledgeable and engaging. I recently closed on the sale of my Village apartment with the help of Jared Antin, Sales Manger for the firm. Jared is diligent, professional, responsible, and did a great job of keeping me informed during the entire process. Our deal could not have gone more smoothly! I highly recommend him and the firm he represents.

The Elegran team is absolutely stellar. Brett Michaels is a rockstar and made the entire process end-​to-​end pleasant and flawless. Everything was confirmed and delivered ahead of expectations and we were happily moved into our gorgeous new apartment within a week.
Moving in New York is a nightmare — no one disagrees with that — but working with Elegran and Brett and the rest of the team was honestly such a fantastic experience. They are really knowledgeable about the options you have and how to help their clients with the application process. You absolutely cannot go wrong with working with this company.
Super professional and understanding staff. Definitely the best of the best for real estate agents in New York and I would totally work with them again when the time comes.

Kevin Huang from Elegran is the first broker my husband and I reached out to when we started our apartment searching in Manhattan, and he is great! He helped us find a lovely apartment in upper west side, and we love it!
Kevin is patient, considerate, quite responsive to my emails and calls, and very efficient in preparing all the paperworks during our application process. Last but not least — he can also speak fluent Chinese, which is quite a bonus:)

I wish I could say I had a positive experience with this firm but I did not. I was put in contact with JOHN CELLA from Elegran. I found his knowledge of the industry to be surface at best. He also had an extremely unprofessional profile on Streeteasy for a long time. His profile states he speaks Spanish but he does not! He didn’t seem interested in my business because I was just renting versus buying. He would take days before returning my calls and emails. I am sure this firm as a whole is great, but please go the direction of another agent and save yourself the hassle.

I could not be more pleased with my experience looking for an apartment in Manhattan with Daniel Chun at Elegran. Though I was working with a tight schedule, he was able to line up apartments that were within my preferred location and price range. Daniel coordinated everything ahead of time and was on point; all the apartments that we looked at fit my specifications and were scheduled with maximum efficiency so as to be able to see as much as possible with my limited schedule. In one afternoon, I was able to select a great apartment and had a fun time in the process!

Ugonna Onyekwe at Elegran was a pleasure to work with for our office rental search. He helped us find a beautiful penthouse office space very quickly that met all of our criteria: budget, location, size, amenities, and lease terms. Ugonna took time to thoroughly understand our needs and priorities and remained in close touch through our search with updates on new available properties and updates. He was very flexible and understanding of our busy startup schedule. Ugonna’s a great overall guy, very friendly and professional. I’d highly recommend him.

I was in the market for a new apartment rather unexpectedly and was on a tight schedule as well as a fixed budget. As a free lancer in the city, getting an apartment is not exactly easy.
I contacted Ugonna Onekwe, after looking at a few apartments with another broker and I really feel like he took my particular situation into account and worked hard to find me the right place. I gave him my specifics and he did all the legwork, contacting me within a few days with appointments lined up to see 4 – 5 places. Each of the buildings he took me to were exactly the feel I was looking for, and there was a decent range of layouts and views and neighborhoods to choose from. I picked one of the buildings he showed me and he helped me get all the necessary paperwork in order, as well as presenting me with options for dealing with my free lance status as a renter.
The whole process was easy and Ugonna really helped me to feel at peace and comfortable during what was feeling like a very stressful time. I have already referred one friend to him and will gladly refer friends when I hear they are in the market for a new place.

I cannot speak for the Elegran organization as a whole, but only one of the Realtors I worked with their named Jason Thomas. I grew up in a family of Realtors and heard some horror stories that always put me on the defensive when dealing with real estate agents. After I met Jason, my outlook completely changed. Jason was an absolute pleasure to work with. His personality, attitude, and ambition will clue you in from the beginning that you’re happy he’s on your team. Jason showed me apartment after apartment until we found the one that was right for me. He was in constant communication with me throughout the negotiation process with the owner and the application process with the condominium (and boy what a process it all was!) — He truly made me feel like I was his only client. If I could leave you with one takeaway from this review it would be that in my personal experience there is no other Realtor out there that will work harder for you than Jason Thomas.
