Landlords &/or tenants if you’re not using John O’keefe from Devoted Real Estate you’re making a mistake! After a long search filled with viewing crappy apts & dealing with unproffesional brokers i was losing hope. Thats when i sent the “id like to request a tour” message to one of Devoted’s properties and all my troubles went away. That was on a Tuesday morning. I met with John to view it just a few hours later that day. Applied on Wednesday. Approved on Thursday! I could of signed my lease same day or next day too if I wanted but I opted for that Saturday. John answered every one of my concerns, gave me his advice & opinion on questions I had that wasn’t even part of his job to answer he’s just a good guy on top of good at his job! He may be a little late to your meeting or miss a text because he’s juggling so much getting us into our new homes but i’m telling you do not let it deter you from working with one of the best agents out here! Oh and dont hesitate to provide whatever is needed to submit your application. Just think about all those apartments you reached out to on zillow or street easy but then didnt respond after. Devoted wants to protect their time spent, show you’re serious and also make sure you dont back out last minute of a property another potential tenant could have its only fair! I can confirm all agreements were honored with no issue! I could go on and on because I’m so shocked at how seamless the whole process was but i’ll end it with John you’re the best! It was a pleasure and thank you a million times over!
Working with John was truly a 10/10 experience! He was incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to helping me find apartments that matched my needs. John consistently kept me in mind whenever a new place became available and was always easy to communicate with. His professionalism and kindness made the entire process so much smoother. I’m so grateful to have crossed paths with him…highly recommend!
Hello, I can say that my experience was very successful, I was looking and looking and when I met John my search ended.
At first I wasn't totally sure because I didn't know him, nor did I have any reference, I had only seen him on the street easy page and we know that in these times there are many scammers, but thank God this was not the case, everything I talked about with John also came out and now I'm super happy with my apartment.
I hope my review helps you and you can find what you are looking for, have a nice day.
100% would return and recommend to my friends. The apartment hunt in NYC is brutal right now- it’s easy to put a deposit down to reserve an apartment only to lose it to another agency’s client. My partner and I were in despair but finding John was a godsend. He made it easy with his transparency about what could happen throughout the application process and directed us towards other units that were even better than what we reached out for. Within a week of reaching out to Devoted, we were sitting in our new apartment. Do yourself a favor and ditch the other guys
I love this agency. Words cannot describe how happy I am with this agency and with the people who work there. I was really struggling to find an apartment that works for me, and at a price that was reasonable. I was getting really discouraged until Devoted Real Estate reached out to me via an app I was using for my search.
John is incredibly honest, extremely thorough, and truly supportive. He told me that if I don't like what he shows me, he will work to find me something that works for me. He showed me two beautiful places, and I was surprised by the price. John was very attentive to what I was looking for, and I highly recommend working with him. A huge thank you to Moe too for all your help, it means a lot. You guys truly rock, and I am very happy with my new apartment.
John is the man ! Old school Brooklyn as it gets, understood the environment that would best fit my lifestyle, found me multiple places that fit my budget & went above and beyond with helping me gather all my info to sign my lease. Will be coming here if I move again!
I had the pleasure of working with John and he is absolutely wonderful. I applied for my apartment on a Monday and by Friday, John let me know I was approved. Amazing service, quick turn around time and extremely responsive. If for whatever I have to move again, I’ll definitely be coming back to these guys.
It has been a pleasure working with John and Moe. I had a positive experience, John was able to work with my income and credit and got me my apartment that same week. I greatly recommend Devoted Real State!! John is the greatest, courteous, professional and understanding. Thank you 😊 for helping us!!
Since i first came in contact with this real estate all the vibes has been positive. Where ever we had to meet they was on time. Any question i had they had the answers. When we was in the process of applying for an apartment the landlord rented out but the real estate found us another one right away and we got approved. I would highly recommend them
I was starting to become a bit disheartened as my apartment search for a place within my price range was starting to look a bit out of reach.
I initially reached out to Devoted in search of a studio apartment. I saw some of the postings online and applied for one of the apartments but unfortunately, it was taken already. Then I received a phone call from John, one of the Realtors at the office.
I spoke with John and he let me know that they may have other apartments within that price range and to stop down at the office to take a look.
Overall, I worked with Devoted for about a week and found an amazing apartment. Not only were we able to close a deal in a week, but it was also an upgrade from a studio to a 1BR at the same price tag.
Honest,polite, and professional. Absolutely fantastic service -- 10/10. I will definitely be looking forward to working with John and Moe again in the future if needed.
