Yaffa is extremely patient, trustworthy, accommodating, and professional. She does not misrepresent herself nor the properties that she represents which is quite a rare quality among New York real estate agents. I would definitely recommend her and will be contacting her again the next time that I decide to move!

Yaffa was absolutely FABULOUS. Very prompt, VERY communicative, and very trustworthy (which is a huge thing; dealing with sleazy brokers is miserable). She took the time to respond to all of our concerns throughout the process, from the initial showing to signing the lease––and oh boy, did we have a lot of questions and concerns! She never tried to talk us into something we didn''t want and was always trying to better understand our needs. I''m most impressed because we weren''t even paying her fee, but I still felt like she was totally on our side throughout the process. To me, that''s the definition of a broker with integrity! In short, work with Yaffa. She''s a real gem.
