Ali Petlin LICENSED REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON

I almost never write reviews unless it's for someone that is truly exceptional; someone who goes above and beyond, setting themselves apart from everyone else. Ali is that someone. From the very start, Ali made the entire search as seamless as possible. Ali listens to you and asks all of the right questions to help you find a place that you love. Ali was there every step of the way, always prepared, defending your interests and providing a level of insight and detail that is so very hard to find. I cannot commend Ali enough for her professionalism, knowledge, dedication, thoughtfulness, organization and execution. Ali is without a doubt a rising star. She is one of the best real estate professionals with which you will ever have the pleasure of working. I found a place that I love and I enjoyed the search every step of the way. I have Ali to thank for all of it. - Andre N.

Ali came through in a pinch for me. About 5 months into my year-long lease in a luxury highrise in Downtown Brooklyn, I had a forced relocation to Los Angeles for work. Of course the penalty to back out of the lease would have been devastating. I reached out to Ali as she had experience with the building and area, and after just one phone call she knew exactly what I needed and exactly what to do. Bear in mind, I was in Los Angeles before I even reached out to her, and we never even had to meet in person. She swiftly got photos and a listing up, drummed up interest, and was able to close with the perfect tenant. This could not have been easier, more low-maintenance, or less painful. Ali is a true professional and I cannot recommend her enough. - Jason W.

Working with Ali was a dream come true, and I'll definitely recommend her to friends looking for a broker. Ali made the often stressful process of looking for a home considerably less so with her stellar professionalism. She was punctual, thorough, a good listener, a hard worker, reliable and has an excellent knowledge of New York real estate. Ali made every step of the apartment hunt calm and even fun. By the end, when she had to put a board package together, I had total faith that she had the attention to detail necessary to do so effectively. What impressed me the most about Ali was her honesty and how easy it felt to communicate with her. I never felt pressured by her in any direction while also feeling that I was getting her true opinion. I recommend Ali to everyone and especially those for whom communication, responsibility, professionalism, and consistency are valued. - Maya Rock

I couldn't have had a better experience with Ali! I was connected with her after reaching out to a few buildings in NYC and she helped us find and navigate our first apartment rental in the city. We started our search with Ali over the summer when we were just simply trying to get a lay of the land, and then in January when we were ready to move in, we reconnected and found our new apartment within a week. We are absolutely thrilled – I cannot recommend Ali highly enough!
Ali was patient, highly knowledgeable about the city, New York real estate, and the ins-and-outs of renting (it's a very complicated process that she made very easy!) She was incredibly flexible and accommodating in scheduling viewings and generous in giving detailed feedback and notes after each. She took the time to read through our lease and contracts, helped us set realistic expectations throughout the process, and basically guided us every step of the way. My boyfriend and I felt tremendously grateful for her guidance.
She was professional and responded quickly whether by email or text. Also important to us was the fact that she put absolutely no pressure on us to choose a rental. Moreover, she is highly attentive to detail, and provided information in an even-handed, non-judgmental, manner, and was unfazed by several course-changes in what we were looking for.
Bottom line – I can’t imagine having a more positive experience and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking to rent in this stressful market. Thanks Ali! - Olivia C.

Ali P. was so great to work with!! She listened to our needs, produced great options/results, and did it all with a smile and great attitude! She does all the homework that makes apartment hunting difficult and exhausting. I would highly recommend working with her, as you will be very satisfied! I have zero complaints on working with her or Elegran Real Estate. - Tatiana B.

Working with Ali was an absolute pleasure. From the outset, she was responsive to all of our requests, understood our must-haves, and used her experience to place us in a wonderful apartment. Following our move in, Ali continued her attentiveness by sending a welcome note, and continuing to work on our behalf to make sure that any matters needing attention from the building management were addressed. While we have no plans to move, I know for certain that we will be contacting Ali when we're ready to do so. - Ian C.

Apartment hunting has never been easier thanks to Ali! From the very beginning of getting to know my wants and needs to signing the lease and getting my keys, Ali was an incredible person to work with every step of the way. Her professionalism, genuine desire to find something I'd be happy with, and southern charm made the entire experience easy and stress free. Thanks to Ali I found an amazing apartment that I am very happy to call my new home. If I'm ever in the market again, Ali is the first person I will turn to for help. - Brett B.

Ali Petlin is a gem! Apartment hunting is a stressful and emotional task, and Ali understands that. She truly cares about your wants and needs. The client's comfort and happiness are her priorities throughout the entire process - from initial conversations to putting your new keys in the door. We found the perfect place and Ali worked diligently to make it a reality. She was always available for questions and concerns, made sure to keep us informed on every movement, and accompanied every step of the way. We are so happy with our new home and know we couldn't have done it without her. - Molly C. & Dr. Hunter S.

I had an amazing experience with Elegran when I moved this past February. I've been in NYC for 8 years and have worked with about a dozen real estate agents in that time for various reasons. When looking for a new apartment this time though my roommate got in touch with Ali at Elegran somehow. I had not heard of them and was skeptical but Ali was simply the best I've seen. She was incredibly punctual (a rarity in NYC real estate agents), she was informed, friendly and what struck me the most was her genuine interest in finding us something we would like rather than just trying to sell us something for the sake of making the sale (also a rarity in NYC real estate agents.) She was also super patient with us. We had her show us quite a few apartments before we found the one we ended up moving into and once we decided to move in we had a few difficulties (on our end) getting a lease signed. Ali was great through the entire experience and we're convinced she did some pushing on her end to help us get into the apartment we fell so in love with. If the rest of the staff at Elegran is anything like Ali then this company is as top notch as they come. I will definitely be reaching back out to Ali and Elegran the next time I'm in the market for an apartment and will be recommending them to all my friends. - Liam W.

We couldn't be happier with Ali. She took our budget and location preferences and found us amazing options and we're delighted with our new home. She worked diligently on our behalf, was always easy to get a hold of, and has helped us well beyond our lease signing and move-in date. Above all, Ali is kind and honest, and we dearly appreciate that. We'd recommend her to anyone. - Noah & Jaqueleen
