Michael Zats was the Brooklyn Heights Real Estate broker who sold my apartment in November, 2024. He is the most effective broker that I have ever used. When I decided to sell my apartment in November, I talked to several other brokers and only Zats said he could close within the holiday period. The day after I signed the broker agreement, he had a photographer at my house the next day and an open house, by appointment only, that was fully subscribed in about 7 days. He kept up this pace for 18 days until, I accepted an offer. The key to his success is that he has a selling strategy and he executes it. And he works extremely hard. I appreciated that he always found time to call me with an update on the day’s events. His work ethic and performance exceeded my pretty high expectations, . Z

Leo and his team were extremely helpful and supportive throughout the entire process of finding a new apartment! Big thank you to Leo and his team.

I'm beyond happy with Lior and his amazing team! They were with me every step of the way, super patient, helpful, and truly cared about finding the perfect place for me. They went above and beyond, and I honestly can't recommend them enough — such a warm, professional, and dedicated team. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic team. Michael Zats leased our apt at ask in 3 days. Everything arranged for and easy. Definitely recommend.

Very disappointed with my experience. Lack of transparency & communication regarding a property. I understand if it’s a high interest property but at least update people regarding their question. Lior & Alona left me on read multiple times. Unfortunate.

Michael was truly exceptional throughout the entire transaction and really went above and beyond to ensure we get the deal done. I was impressed by his extensive knowledge of the market and his innate ability to negotiate challenging deals. A true professional and someone I highly recommend to represent in any real estate transaction.

Michael Zats was really awesome. I was on a tight schedule trying to find an apartment in the Carroll Gardens area before the new school year started. We found something perfect in our price range - which I didn’t know was going to be possible - all thanks to Michael’s hard work and grassroots connections. He also negotiated on my behalf to get me a few extra perks, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend him.

I had an overall great experience with Brooklyn Heights Real Estate. I worked closely with Michael Zats. He was helpful, courteous, professional, and friendly. Very knowledgeable about retail spaces and properties throughout the area. Five stars across the board!

Michael Zats made my first big purchase an excellent and easy one. He was super helpful, informative and knowledgeable, explaining everything about the entire transaction and even home ownership. He connected us with all the right people, and made it as seamless as possible while remaining friendly and professional at all times. Based on our needs and wants, he was able to find us our first home, and for that we will be forever grateful. Thank you Michael, I would recommend his service to my family and all my friends. So thankful to have found my dream home and in the best area Brooklyn Heights, where my children will now go to the best local schools.

Michael Zats was well informed on every neighborhood I asked about. He was a big help in finding us a retail space in the right neighborhood. He was extremely responsive and got it done.

Michael Zats was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and courteous. Will work with again. Thank You.

Michael zats was very professional , patient and knowledgeable about the neighborhood helping my family with finding the perfect space they were looking for. Highly recommended!

Staff here has been very helpful and professional. Overall a positive experience.

The worst ever all I did was called to ask a question and the women were very rude and hung up on me I will never recommend this place

The receptionist was very rude I called inquiring about an apartment for my elderly mother and special needs brother and as soon as I told her my mother has a nyc section 8 voucher her ignorant self went on to say there’s apartments are very expensive and are located in the good area of Brooklyn I don’t know what that had to do with anything but I told her she is unprofessional and explain to me what she meant by good area and she never answered my question as to accepting vouchers and programs

Yan was amazing. She got my apartment rented right away, took care of all the paperwork and issues with the coop board, and generally was on the ball on the time. I will definitely use her when I decide to sell my apartment.

From the beginning, Yan was very on top of things. She was honest, careful, and straight forward, which made decision making much easier. She worked so hard to find us a new home, we felt very taken care of. Thank you Yan!

Yan helped me find/rent an apartment— The whole process took about a week and she made it easy as could be! This is my second time working with Yan and it’s always a pleasure.

Yan was very helpful and communicative throughout the process for finding my rental. I would 100% work with her again!

I worked with Yan when I was shopping for my first home. She really tries to understand your needs and wants before trying to show you places to buy instead of pushing her own agenda. She had my best interest at heart, and it came through throughout the process. She communicates often and well.

Yan was awesome and super thorough! She was super quick and helpful.

Yan helped us with our rental application for a listing she represents in January. I appreciated Yan's sincerity and manner-of-factness. Besides this, she was very responsive -- almost always got back to us in minutes! -- and clearly knows the area.

Am looking for a studio apartment in Brooklyn, Ny either the dumbo, williamburg or fort greene area. I have a voucher for an amount of $1,265 & yes HRA will pay brokers fee.

We worked with Yan Lee to secure a rental unit in Carroll Gardens. After viewing more than 30 apartments, it was clear from the moment we stepped inside that we had found the unit for us. Yan showed the apartment well, conveyed key information, and worked with us to craft a comprehensive application. Yan was a true professional and the best broker we have ever interacted with. She was clear, communicative, knew the property, and had a strong relationship with the owner. I trusted her throughout and would absolutely work with her again.

Lior is quite irresponsive. It always takes multiple chases. Almost everything is delayed, making the stressful apartment hunting experience worse.

Yan (literally) went the extra mile for us, making the trip from Brooklyn to Manhattan so we could sign the lease. Great experience, thanks so much!

Marta made our apartment rental a very pleasant experience. She helped like no other agent has in my experience renting in NYC. Her responsiveness and communication not only helped with the logistics of the transaction, but also made us feel comfortable and secure. She extra steps to be more helpful than she had to be. Thanks Marta!

I can’t speak highly enough of Marta Medeiros-Hasou as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, honest, good with people and has a knack for matching the tenant with the owner…. making it the perfect fit for your home. I completely trust her expertise and intuition, recommending her without hesitation. Marta is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you again, Marta and the Brooklyn Heights Realty team. Iris F M

Marta Hasou has been a great help to me. Her commitment is reflected in her attentiom to the details. She is very knowlegeable, accessible and communicates clearly, making the process easy. A joy to work with!

Marta is a professional and experienced real estate agent. She was able to get us in an Apartment while I was traveling and made the process as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!

Super helpful, friendly, and honest firm, and I love their office! Their logo is great too; they should definitely trademark it. I highly recommend working with this firm!

Yan Lee and her team were knowledgeable, friendly, and very responsive. She made our first home buying process a breeze.

Yan and Marta were incredibly helpful in finding me an apartment that I could really see myself in. They were kind, patient and thoughtful about it and proactively kept with me in my long search.

Yan Lee was extremely responsive and thorough in helping to get my apartment rented. She was very professional and persevered in a somewhat lengthy and difficult co-op rental. I would highly recommend her as a broker and would call upon her in the future.

It was a pleasure to work with Yan - she did a phenomenal job connecting our apartment needs with availability in the market, and partnered with us to ensure we were best positioned to get the unit we set our sights on. She was extremely responsive throughout the application process, and went above and beyond to offer guidance whether by email, phone, or in person. I highly recommend Yan and hope to work with her again in the future.

I recently worked with Yan to find an apartment in Brooklyn Heights. She was absolutely wondering. She was accommodating, responsive, and patient (I had a lot of questions!). She even went above and beyond what I would expect. For instance, she took time out of her day to allow me to take measurements on the apartment even after the lease had been signed and all was said and done. She also knew that I needed to find a sublet for the month of July as I waited for the unit to become available, so she gave me a few leads. Yan made the process extremely efficient and easy to navigate. I highly recommend working with her if you have the opportunity.

Yan Lee is an amazing realtor and we highly recommend her. We used several large real estate agencies and our two bedroom condo on Court Street was listed for over six months and no takers. Nada! After such a long while we decided to try a smaller real estate agency who understood the neighborhood and value of a Court St condo. Yan Lee was great at giving us the right advise and list of things needed to get takers and spike interest in our apartment. In a matter of one week our apartment was rented! We highly recommend her.

I highly recommend this company, especially Yan Lee. As of 2017 she has 12 years experience. Yan Lee grew up in Brooklyn and is extremely familiar with the housing market here. She had answers to every question I asked and was extremely thorough during our search with a high attention to detail. Yan Lee is an excellent communicator she was always willing to answer any question that came to mind very quickly. Yan also communicated well with the other against and would often ask them questions they never thought of or had no answer to which was so helpful because then they would get that information which made things much easier to make the best decision. If you are looking to rent or buy Yan Lee is the agent I would highly recommend!!

I recommend BHRE's Yan Lee as a diligent, dedicated real estate broker in Brooklyn. She walked me through every step of my transaction and stayed on top of the long to-do list that comes with selling an apartment in Brooklyn. She was always cordial, even when the inevitable surprises popped up, and her response time was unparalleled.

Yan Lee was a pleasure to work with. Not only did she show me apartments I really liked, but she was very responsive at all times of day and went out of her way to accommodate my rushed schedule, but also stayed on top of the whole process, kept me updated, and guided me all the way through to lease signing. I would recommend her to my friends for finding a place in that area without a doubt.
