Jenny Nokeo – Bond Real Estate

Recently we had the daunting task of looking for a rental apartment in NYC for our daughter attending Grad School at Columbia. We had heard about the unscrupulous practices in the NY market and showed up during open season on student renters. We ended up contacting AC Lawrence where we got involved with three brokers. The first broker we met was through internet contacts who passed us to another broker who delt with contracts and brokers fees. And finally, we were assigned to another broker who actually showed us apartments – Jenny Nokeo. Jenny was extremely knowledgeable and understanding of our frustration with the NYC rental market. If it were not for her guidance and her after hours availability for questions and texts, we would have probably given up. She really went the extra mile for us. After 5 days and losing on a multiple bid apartment, we left NY without a lease. Jenny kept in contact with us in California, and provided us with fresh listing and advice after we left. She viewed the apartments, Facetimed us realtime during the walkthroughs and we finally successfully found the right apartment for our student a week after we left NY. Jenny has lived in many cities in her life and has a great feel for the market in NYC as well as our expectations with regards to location and budget. – a vibe I didn’t get from any other brokers. If it were not for her, our frustration with the other two brokers would have ended our relationship with AC Lawrence\Coldwell Banker. If I ever deal with AC Lawrence in NYC again – I will go directly to Jenny for advice.
