One Manhattan Real Estate

My husband and I have been searching for an apartment, and we were very ambivalent about working with a broker after previous experiences that we had. We had the pleasure of connecting with Eli (Eliran) Bar at One Manhattan and I am so glad we did. Eli was responsive to our needs and requests, honest, hardworking and persistent. We enjoyed all the time we spent with him. He truly restored our faith in brokers, showing us apartments that were within our budget and interests. I highly recommend that you contact Eli for any of your real estate needs. You will not regret it!

I am the first person to tell you that I have always had bad experiences with brokers in NYC. I refused to move quite a few times just so I wouldn’t have to deal with a broker. This all changed when I met Tal Cohen from One Manhattan Real Estate. He was professional, courteous, smart and honest which are traits you don’t typically find in brokers. For all of you out there who have had bad broker experiences like me, trust me when I tell you that Tal rises above and beyond. Thanks Tal for finding my husband and I the perfect apartment!

Recently moved to Manhattan and inquired about a few apartments. I had the pleasure to speak with a realtor by the name of Tal Cohen. He was very knowledgable of the area, the neighborhood, and answered every question with upmost patience. The experience here was one of kind. I would definitely work with him again and recommend this business and Tal immensely! Thanks again!

I recently worked with Tal Cohen from this agency. He went above and beyond to find me the perfect apartment. He was not only knowledgeable, but professional at all times. He also was very helpful throughout the entire application process and took his time explaining all of the paperwork. Tal is also very prompt at returning emails, text messages and phone calls. He really cares about his clients and I cant say enough great things about this agent.

I worked with Lia Shoshan — she was incredibly helpful and patient as we searched and searched for the right apartment. She showed us some apts before they were listed, and we were often the first to see an apt once listed. She is very knowledgable and doesn’t push an apt onto you just for the commission. She is a great broker!

My experience with One Manhattan Real Estate was second to none! I dealt exclusively with Ori Degani who is a true class act! His breadth of knowledge regarding the Manhattan rental and condo real estate market is truly impressive. Ori guided me through the complex Manhattan real estate market and spent a Sunday morning showing me a handful of apartments that fit my extensive criterion and my price range. Once I reached a decision, Ori was able to lock in an apartment at the rental rate I wanted to pay within an hour. Ori is honest and fair and could not have been more accommodating. I would highly recommend One Manhattan and Ori to anyone and I certainly intend to use them again should I decide to move in the near future!

I worked exclusively with Lia Ben Shoshan of One Manhattan Real Estate and she is amazing. She knows the market, she does not show you something that does not meet your criteria (therefore not wasting your time!), she has a lot of contacts at all the best buildings and most importantly she is a great, lovely person! We relocated from Europe and were in NYC for one week to find our dream apartment. In that one week she found us the exact apartment we were looking for, in the best location (and it wasn’t even listed yet!). She really cares whether or not you are happy in your new home… she is NOT in it simply for the commission. I would (and have) highly recommend her to anyone looking to rent or buy in NYC. You work very closely with your broker so it is important that you like them and Lia has become a friend to us, not just a broker.

James Blanchard is the worst. He insulted me over the phone because I asked why an apartment I found on Craigslist was listed in the wrong category of no fee/​by owner when he is clearly a broker. He offered only vague, even paranoid responses such as «Oh my intern posts on so many websites», and then «people get killed and raped on Craigslist.» A-​ha. Then he proceeded to send me a text where he called me an idiot and berated my wrongly guessed political affiliations, misspelling two words out of three. This guy is not professional, in fact he needs professional help if this is how he comports himself in a service industry. Any company that is affiliated with him deserves zero stars. I can’t imagine how anyone would work with them.
