Testimonials for Mariana Bekerman

I did want to thank you for your efforts on our behalf. Had you not stepped in and guided us so professionally through the landmines of apartment hunting in New York, I shudder to think of what would have or could have happened. You were quick to respond to every one of my questions and ensured that the lease and all of the administrative hoopla was minimized. Your patience and professionalism as we tried to coordinate everything among those of us in Philadelphia, Chicago and New York City was an enormous challenge that you successfully met head-on.
   —Joe & Ruth, Client

Again, MANY THANKS!!!!!!

My wife and I came to New York just three months ago. We had no guarantor, no attractive bank statements, no proper proofs of income, nothing -- just tourist visas and a big desire to rent a gorgeous 1br apt for a year in a safe, non-ghetto area of Brooklyn (like Park Slope) for ~$1,500 a month.

You can call this "high expectations". In fact, it's just delirious and suicidal optimism. The possibility of renting something in NY with such conditions is much like the possibility of meeting a unicorn or having sex with Jesus Christ.

So... After month of searches and millions of hours at craigslist, Hurricane Irene is coming, and we have to move out from our temporary apartment on the day of Irene's benefit performance.

What would you do in this dramatic hell? There are only two options: kill yourself or call Mariana Bekerman -- the crisis-broker and miracle-maker of A.C. Lawrence.

She spent weeks with us, cancelled a long-anticipated visit to her mother, brought her husband with the car a few times, worked every weekend -- even on Sundays and holidays, even when one of her legs became inactive -- and in the end she shared 50% of her broker's fee with a co-broker, but she did it -- she saved us and found a gorgeous and mystical townhouse apartment for us.

Bekerman's work is not just about money, it's about being a human being and a professional -- a rare combination these days. A.C. Lawrence should definitely re-brand itself from A.C. Lawrence to A.C. Bekerman.

Each and every landlord denied us, but she kept pushing, kept searching, and she never gave up. If she says she can find -- she will find. That's why we have such an inspiring place to live now.

If you want to have a mix of Mother Teresa, your own mother, and a super-humorous fountain of light who can solve your problems -- ask Saint Mariana Bekerman. And by the way... burn in hell, craigslist!

My review is in particular for the agent 'Mariana Beckerman'. Since the first day I meet her she was committed to find me an appartment and was worried all the time to meet me and visit some appartments. I think she did a great job.
   —Ruben G., Client
I'd enthusiastically recommend Mariana to anyone looking for an apartment in NYC. I worked with her as a first-time renter, and since I was moving out of my family's home (which was within commuting distance of my workplace), I was quite particular about my price point and the quality of the spaces I was looking at. Mariana completely understood what I was looking for right off the bat. Although she was honest about the fact that my requirements might make my search a little more limited, she also managed to make me feel confident about finding something that fit my needs. Mariana was also great about following up, maximizing my time, and being flexible with my schedule and my opinions—which changed a couple of times even as we were looking! A pet peeve of mine is when a broker tries to pressure you into making a decision before you're ready—something Mariana never did. Above all, she was friendly, courteous, and tenacious, and I felt confident that she was looking out for me.

   —Sahar B., Client
“I worked with Mariana for over 2 weeks in the search of my NYC apartment. The search process was very smooth. I was looking for a very specific apartment in terms of location, budget, interior presentation and furnished. We met once and she perfectly understood what I was looking for. Within the second meeting she had gathered 4/5 very good quality apartments and at the end I put an offer for one of them. I ended up renting it without any major problems. The whole communication was very smooth, meetings very fast and straight to the point and she is really good fun to work with. Mariana is a very experienced, professional and pleasant real estate broker to work with and I highly recommend her in your search for an apartment in the city!”
