5 Bedroom in Williamsburg
Another brokerage had this unit listed for 5 months in 2024.After taking over, we submitted an application within 2 weeks without having the listing. We successfully negotiated for the lease to begin a week earlier and are confident it could have rented for $8,000 if we didn't have to compete against another brokerage's listing at $7,250 on StreetEasy.
3 Bedroom in Williamsburg
This unit had been listed on the market and remained vacant with another brokerage since August 2024.By leveraging our lead generation from a similar unit, we successfully rented this unit within a few weeks of starting our efforts on this account.

Simon Itah
James has represented me for the sale of my 7-unit new condo development in Bed-Stuy. Due to his advisement, we were able to achieve the highest PPSF of any similar new dev in the neighborhood. He has contributed tremendously to the success of this project and I cannot thank him enough. Since then, I have given him several other projects including a multifamily building sale in Bushwick and my newest luxury condo building in Greenpoint. I highly recommend James and I look forward to working with him for many more years to come.
Roei Paz
