Brooklyn Prime

Katarina was really easy to work with and really helpful with our move-​in. Found a great place and she’s made sure we’ve settled in nicely. Generally, I try to avoid apartments with brokers but in this case it was totally worth it. Will work with her again in the future!

Katarina was really wonderful to work with! She was very responsive to all of my questions about apartment hunting. I rented from her for two years and loved it. She is a great person to work with. No matter what it was, she would always help and be completely understanding. Applying for an apartment in NY is pretty stressful but she is very knowledgeable and patient and knows exactly how it all works.
She recently helped me through the process of renting another apartment. Without her, I would not have lived in some very beautiful apts in Brooklyn. I highly recommend Katarina… she is awesome! Thank you so so much!

Katarina is fantastic!!! Her wealth of knowledge in the real estate industry seems to be never ending. We have used her to rent out several of our apartments and have been delighted each time. She takes the time to thoroughly find the right match for both landlord and tenant, which is a god send in Brooklyn. Most realtors try to stuff you with a tenant/​landlord no matter the consequence. Her patience and courtesy are always extended to her clients. It is always a pleasure to be in her company, you walk away feeling more knowledgeable. Thank you Katarina!

Very professional and great service! My significant other was extremely satisfied with service and that is why I am happy!

Katerina was an incredible broker to work with!
She made sure I got everything I needed with no fuss. I would highly reccommed using her and her company to find your apartment. She made the process simple and easy and was very on top of making sure I was taken care of from start to finish. She was more than willing to go above and beyond to show the apartment and be flexible with my schedule at the drop of a hat.
Thanks to her I have the apartment of my dreams and a real home that I couldn’t be happier about.

So Katarina was our realtor for finding our amazing apt in greenpoint at a great price. However she is much more than that. Being in NYC 2 years and wanting to move somewhere conveinient but nice, and a bigger space this time and without a big realty involved was our plan. We didn’t want to pay hefty fees etc. It takes time to find a good deal and I noticed katarina’s ads on CL. First thing I liked was the amazing amount of clear photos, what you see is what you get. I totally don’t waste my time on ad’s with one pic or no pics! And you feel when you see the apt its even better than the pics as the pics are quite clear. She also includes floor plans with the photo’s so you can understand the layout before you visit.
She showed us three apts and was not pushy in the slightest like most agents are, giving us time to decide on whether they were suitable. She listened to our grievances in regards to why the first place we looked at was not suitable and made suggestions, such as places closer to a subway etc.
We decided quickly on the apt we wanted and whilst we were looking for a no fee, this apt came with a fee however she negotiated it to such a small price that we realized in the world of fee apt’s there is no way you would pay such a low fee so we were ok with it. (Obviously this was suited for this particular apt however other apts she has may be different in regards to negotiations, we were lucky).
We also have unique requirements and being new to the country she helped us with paperwork and all that comes with trying to get an apt in NYC, she is happy to hear whatever your requests or needs may be and advise you on the best move.
After moving in because the previous tenant had been here 7 years there was obviously going to be some minor issues, and swapping out old equipment and she has been really quick and prompt to respond to these requests and get the super out to handle these issues asap, so it’s been a painless and smooth transition.
We will definitely be keeping up our relationship with Katarina in the future in regards to this apt and any other move we may require, however we are pretty pleased with our place right now.

Katarina is awesome! I did not use her for real estate/​rentals, so this is strictly for the notary service.
It’s always difficult for me to find a convenient notary public in my area. Saw her post on the window (located of L train/​Metropolitan stop) and called her up. I was in a pinch to get some documents notarized, but I was also really busy that I could not meet in her office. She offered to come by my office to notarize them all at no additional cost :)
Considering it’s only $ 2.00 for each notarized page (and I only had 8 pages), she was really sweet to stop by our office on a cold and raining Monday. Stellar service!
Thank you!

After searching for weeks to find the perfect apartment in the perfect location we finally one and it was all thanks to Katarina! My best friend and I met Katarina in hopes she would find us the our perfect apartment and she did! Katarina, is the best she goes out of her way to meet your needs and will show you an apartment anytime (always around YOUR schedule!) professional, nice, honest the list truly goes on. If you’re looking for an apartment in NYC it can be very stressful but with katarina there it takes a lot of the stress off!!! THANK YOU KATARINA!!!

My apartment was rented today after 2 months of difficulties with the board in my building. Through it all Katarina never gave up. She kept finding me new prospective tenants after some walked away due to long wait for board approval.
She was always pleasant, professional, hardworking, and honest. I highly recommend her. She works well with tenants and landlords.

So my parents decided they were going to move to Brooklyn and since I always see this place on my way home from work, I decided to try them out. Like the other reviewer said, Katarina is great. We saw a few places that fit the parameters my parents had set, and once they saw this one apartment they fell in love with, that was that. Our time wasn’t wasted, our questions were answered, and the whole experience actually helped put some of my parents concerns to rest. Brooklyn Prime, while relatively new and small, I guess, are competent and professional. You’ll be fine using them… I know my parents were.

The only review of Brooklyn Prime listed was of a renter’s so as a landlord/​agent I didn’t know what to expect. The apartment was empty for so long because of all the renovations we did so we wasted a lot of time and money on the apartment and I wanted to rent it out right away! I actually called up a few realtors and out of all of them, Katarina was the best and fastest! The other realtors didn’t even have a chance. She came in, took some pictures and had someone looking at it the very next day!!! We filled the place so quick it was hard to believe! She handled all the necessary paperwork so we didn’t have to worry our heads about it. She did all she could to find us the best tenant and while it’s still to early to tell if it’s true, she did all the necessary checks etc. to find us one. I would definitely use her again the next time an apartment opens up.
The previous reviewer was right about her being honest, she told me how much rent she felt was fair (luckily we were right on target) and what things needed to be fixed (luckily it was minor things). It was because she was so candid and honest with me that I would do business with her again.
Note: when I read reviews and I only see that one person is being reviewed I get a little weird-​ed out by it but it seems to be a small business which is why I felt the huge customer service doing business with her. I know her colleague travels a lot so in the future I do expect to only see reviews about her on this site… I hope this helps others who feel the same way I do when reading these reviews.

My boyfriend and I were able to find a great apartment with Katarina of Brooklyn Prime. I liked her from the start: she was very honest before I even came to look at the apartment about what it had and what it didn’t. It really seemed like she didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. She was also really helpful with the paperwork and application process. And, she didn’t disappear (like most brokers) after we had signed the lease: she met up with us on move-​in day to give us the keys, and 2 weeks later helped us with a tricky situation involving Time-​Warner installation. I’d definitely call Bk Prime the next time I’m looking for an apartment (which probably won’t be for a few years because our new place is so awesome!).
