Jennifer Chiongbian – Charles Rutenberg Realty

Seriously now, Jennifer, amazing broker with Charles Rutenberg Realty, totally works above and beyond for her clients, completely deserves TEN stars… five is not enough! I can honestly say that I would never want to use anyone else in NYC to buy, sell, or find a rental with.
In NYC you really need someone who will be on your side when it goes to dealing with management companies. Jennifer went above and beyond the call of duty and literally ended up holding the management company on our property to their word… in essence, making them behave professionally. If she had not been «fighting for us» the management company probably would have gone against their word and legal promises they made to us and they would have given our place to another renter.
Unlike the majority of agents I’ve seen and heard horror stories about from friends, Jennifer is honest, will work with whatever your realistic and financial parameters are, and she won’t ever try to push you into a property that is out of your price range. She knows the market and she knows NYC and will be able to locate the right and best home for YOU!
I know that many people are a bit blown away by brokers fees when it comes to finding a place in NYC. All I have to say is this, Jennifer Chiongbian’s worth goes way beyond the money you will end up spending in finding the right home for you, your family, your animals etc and I would gladly pay that fee again in order to make sure that she was the broker for me! She is trustworthy, consistent, a wealth of information, super savvy in dealing with other brokers and companies, and she is also very fun and pleasant to be around!
Whatever you do, you will never go wrong with choosing Jennifer! Thanks Jennifer for making what could have been a very stressful and scary transition for me, my daughters, and my husband into a fun filled, exciting, and positive experience! You are a complete gift from God for our family!!!

I have used Jennifer as my broker for the past 2 apartments I’ve lived in in NYC, what a gem!
She listens to what you want and won’t stop showing apartments until you find the perfect place. At our first meeting, she showed me 5 – 6 apartments which is hard to come by with other brokers I’ve met with.
Her services don’t stop after you sign your lease either! She was there for me to give honest advice on utilities expenses, apartment location, building cleanliness and will help negotiate anything you need with the management company and/​or landlord.
Super organized, very knowledgeable about the NYC real estate market, extremely down to earth, & a pleasure to work with!
I recommend her to anyone looking for a new apartment b/​c I know she’ll deliver!

Jennifer Chiongbian was so wonderful to work with. We had less than 2 days to find an apartment and she made it happen. Not only that – she also hooked me up with a job interview! Talk about full service! She’s a pleasure to be around and a real asset. Thanks Jennifer!

I created a Unilocal account just to express my gratitude for Jennifer Chiongbian at Citi-​Habitats. Really.
I had to move to NYC quickly — and dealt with other rental brokers before I met Jennifer. Each one would show me two apartments, and then want to go back to the office to regroup and meet up the next day. I didn’t really have the time for this — they moved too slow.
After having a bad experience with another broker (maybe I’ll write about that next!), I emailed Jennifer. Within minutes, she she set up an all-​day agenda of apartment showings that fit my budget, expectations, and Pug requirements. She not only showed up on time, but was professional, fun and tenacious. She knew what I wanted, and MADE IT HAPPEN.
I would have never been able to navigate the city the way I did with Jennifer’s assistance — and four other brokers in the city couldn’t compare! She held my hand all the way through the lease signing, hugs and all. She was quick, accessible, and told me exactly what to do to get things done quickly.
She was a total rockstar, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend her to anyone (especially out of towners)!
