But more importantly, he was willing to explain everything, including market price and future renovation proposals. Throughout the tenant search process, Donald provided daily updates. His team took professional photos and created an amazing streeteasy posting.Overall, Donal was professional throughout the entire process, from first impressions to tenant signing. I would recommend any potential landlords or tenants to seek out Donald and his team for guidance. I look forward to hiring Donald again for any future rentals.

Comment: Im a first time homebuyer and I found Donald on Yelp. Donald showed me several listings and took me to several apartments. Donald really took the time to try to understand my lifestyle and what I was looking for. When we looked at apartments, I found his insights invaluable. Donald walked me through the entire process of making an offer, preparing my packet, and making sure I knew what to expect every step of the way. He also had many resources such as referrals for attorneys, inspectors, and contractors and handymen. During walkthroughs Donald make sure I was aware of everything happening in the apartment so that I could make an informed decision now and down the line. Working with Donald was a fantastic experience. Ive already referred Donald to a colleague of mine who is buying, and if I ever need an agent in the future, Donald will be the first person Ill call.

Comment: Donald rented out my condo in Brooklyn while I was out of town. I was so glad to have him as my agent and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an agent.I found Donald online and we spoke on the phone. I knew right away hed be a great person to work with—he was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared his expertise with me even if it was just an inquiry call.I was out of town but needed to find a tenant. He worked hard and went above and beyond to help. He reached out to my previous tenants to check out the space, take professional photos and eventually for showings. There were a million other things he did for me. I am grateful that it was such stress-free experience as he handled all the paperwork, compiled materials, and worked with the management company of the building on my behalf. He found a contractor to paint the place and carefully inspected the space before handing it over to the tenants. And these are just a few examples of what he did!If you ever need an agent in NYC, go to speak with Donald! He is the best.

Comment: I called Donald when trying to find an apartment for my daughter in Manhattan or Brooklyn. While he had no listings of his own to offer he spent no less than 15 minutes taking to me about ways we could overcome some of the roadblocks we were experiencing. He offered excellent advice and even followed up after the call by sending me contacts to help us find a guaranty company for our daughter. Here was a man who went above and beyond for no benefit to himself whatsoever. He was just doing the right thing and helping someone who needed his expertise... for free. 10 Stars!! If you need a trustworthy realtor in NYC, Donald’s the one!

Comment: Donald Lai was our buyer’s agent. He helped my wife and I to buy an apartment in Queens, NY. When we contacted Donald, he listened to what we were looking for, and made a list of apartments based on our criteria. He made appointments for us and went with us on apartment tours. As first-time buyers, my wife and I had many questions, and we always felt welcome to ask Donald anything. After we decided on an apartment and started the mortgage process, Donald helped us resolve the many issues that arose with both the lender and the building. He communicated with us and guided us up through the closing day. My wife and I feel grateful for all of Donald’s hard work and highly recommend him.

Comment: Don assisted me with finding a new apartment in the NYC area -- I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with him.He was efficient and knowledgeable on our introductory call -- offered trustworthy advice on neighborhoods, price ranges, and buying vs. renting. Within a week, he came back with a diverse and well-tailored listings report. After I had narrowed down my selections, he quickly arranged on-site tours. During the tours, he made sure to suggest layouts for each apartment, and to ask all the right questions. I was able to quickly find a match and put in an application -- Don helped me to review the lease and find a mover when I was ready.I would jump at the opportunity to work with Don again, whether buying or renting. Truly an all-star.

Comment: Im so excited to write a review for Donald! He is a wonderful agent and helped my partner and I have a seamless move into our new Brooklyn home. He was always attentive and immediately responsive to our questions, concerns, and needs. He was clearly looking out for us and went out of his way to make sure we had no problems on a day as stressful as moving day. I highly recommend him if youre considering a move in the area. Were not planning on moving again anytime soon hopefully, but if we do hell be the first person we reach out to.
