ZillowVERIFIEDIn my view, John Harrison is the most honest, hard working real estate agent in NYC. He is a consummate professional and always goes above the call of duty. John helped us in buying our condo in NYC and later assisted in renting it. He was always there to help us navigate the complex NYC real estate rules and provided appropriate guidance throughout the process. I would highly recommend John as real estate agent to anyone who is looking to buy, sell or rent a place in NY.
ZillowVERIFIEDSo, where do I start. I live in Massachusetts and I inherited some property in Brooklyn, NY. I struggled to attempt to sell it on my own unsuccessfully. Then while my wife was having breakfast with my daughter at a hotel she ran into John and his family, and started discussing our situation. John offered to give us advice with no strings attached, and no pressure to be my agent. Of course I was suspect, but eventually through our discussions I could see John was just trying to help me. I came to trust John and started to work with him on the sale. After taking his advice and taking his direction he took us from a sale that was SIGNIFICANTLY below what I was asking to double what I was looking for. He handled the process of getting the property in a shape that drove interest through the roof. Took care of the showing of the property and negotiated the bidding war on my families behalf. He ensured that we received the strongest offer and brought a difficult situation to a wonderful conclusion. I couldnt have asked for a more professional individual to guide me through this entire process. The one thing that impressed me the most and for anyone reading this review, is I have yet to meet John face to face. I have never met John. We conducted this entire process while I was in Massachusetts and he was in New York. John was so honest that I left this entire sale in his hands and I will tell you it was the best thing I ever did. Thanks to him I am currently building a new house and have the finances to pay the entire house off and provide for my family thanks to John. And this all happened because John saw a family in need of some direction and some help that he didnt know. He didnt have to help us at all but that tells you about his character as a person. I will forever be in his debt, and if you are considering working with John, trust me, you want John and his team in your corner. Hands down, he will not steer you wrong and take his advice because it will be the best move you will ever make. Thank you, John, from my entire family.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is a very smart and knowledgable broker who understand the New York market very well. He has guided us through the complexities of a 1031 exchange, explaining things in a very clear way and helping us to find the right people, from mortgage brokers to insurance agents. He was also very helpful to find new tenants and even taking on the role of a superintendent to make their rental start as smooth as possible.
ZillowVERIFIEDVery knowledgeable and always available, John Harrison has successfully rented and managed more than a dozen of our rental properties and brokered the profitable acquisition or sale of many other real estate assets. Recommend his services without reservation.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I worked with John to sell our co-op in Ditmas Park (Brooklyn). He worked tirelessly to ensure that we received a 5 star service. He found us a buyer before the apartment was even posted. He took pictures, conducted the open houses, contacted the tenants to schedule the open houses, dealt with the doorman and management office from beginning until the closing date. He did it all. John kept us abreast of everything. He was amazing, professional and all around cared about the process as if he was selling his own place. He listened to our concerns and needs and was able to get us a buyer within record time and at an above asking price. We could not ask for a better real estate agent. John is the best realtor I know and we wholeheartedly recommend him.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and above all else, very honest with the sale of our apartment. His expertise and kind approach really have him stand out in the industry. We highly recommend him for any real estate needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDShowed me a few properties in Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and Downtown Brooklyn. Took the time to meet with me over coffee to discuss search criteria and considerations. We haven't pulled the trigger on a purchase, but when we do we will be back in touch with John. He is terrific.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Harrison is a gentleman who listens closely, pays attention and is always focused on his clients' needs and desires...and thus remains flexible in his options and advice. He is highly knowledgeable in the realities of the real estate market and tireless in his work and sincere in his communication. John is a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to know. We have worked with John from 2013-2016
ZillowVERIFIEDI started my home search in Fall 2015 and I was looking in Brooklyn. I currently live in Queens and I do not know the Brooklyn area very well. Before I met John, we had a phone conversation to understand my needs and help me think through the process. He also sent me a comprehensive financial checklist on purchasing a home. John met with me on a Sunday afternoon and selected open houses in different areas of Brooklyn for me to view. He educated me about the neighborhoods, buildings, financial aspects, etc. It was the most thorough real estate professional experience I had been through. When I received an offer in Queens through a friend to purchase his home, John offered to brainstorm with me about the opportunity. Even though John would not financially benefit if I purchased the Queens apartment, he spent an hour looking at the apartment online with me and follow up. I highly recommend John Harrison for his integrity, professional knowledge, and passion for working in the interest of his clients.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I have been interested in buying a home for quite some time, and John has provided thoughtful, informed and thorough information to us about every step of the process. When we are ready to buy, we know who we'll be working with!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is a very well-rounded Broker, who's always looking out for the best interest of his client. He's very knowledgeable about the New York City Real Estate landscape. He's always open about fees and the negotiation process. We're now working on our 3rd corporate apartment together, and it's always a pleasure.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn worked true magic for my family and I. We put our house on the market while looking for one to purchase, but were in a sticky situation in that we absolutely needed to sell ours first. John was extremely knowledgeable about the Real Estate market in our neighborhood and was able to council us thoughtfully without being pushy. He was extremely patient, grew quickly to understand what we were looking for and found us the home we were looking for. Simultaneously, he sold our home at the rate we needed to make the other transaction happen. We were over the moon and remain extremely grateful. John is professional, friendly, understanding, patient and extremely knowledgeable.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was extremely helpful in helping us find a home along with the myriad of details including financing and general things to look for when accomplishing this feat. I would trust John over anyone.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn has helped us find our initial apartment on the UES and then, after a messy situation with the UES Landlord, helped us to relocate to Brooklyn Heights 4 months later. He is patient, professional, kind, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He met us at every location, he helped us to negotiate a lower the lease amount, and he put up with numerous calls at all hours of the day - we highly recommend him!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Harrison recently handled all aspects of our real estate transaction and we had a great experience. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and made the process stress-free. What separates John from the rest is the time he spent understanding our goals and strategizing with us how to meet them. Additionally, he went above and beyond to prepare our apartment for viewing (arranging cleaning service, painters, furniture removal etc.) We are extremely happy both with our experience and relationship we have with John and we highly recommend him.
ZillowVERIFIEDIt was time for a new apartment! I had just given birth to a baby boy and while the baby didn't take up much space, all of his accessories did. John went to work finding an apartment for us. Luckily we had a flexible move-out date because John found an apartment which was a short sale. Short sale purchases are more complicated than normal sales and John carefully explained each step along the way. He was very patient when I had questions or concerns and always made sure my questions were answered in a way that made sense to me. John was personable, professional, knowledgeable and an excellent negotiator. He saved us over $100,000!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Harrison is the ultimate professional. When I needed to rent out my NYC 5th Avenue Apt. I went to him and the 1st couple that walked into my home, took it... no questions asked... not even did they try to bargain the price John and I agreed upon. When they moved out 2 years later, John took it into his own hands and made sure that everything ended perfectly well for both my tenants and I... hard to find that these days. I highly recommend him to anybody looking to Buy or Rent a Home or Sell or Rent out their property in New York City. This man is a true gentleman, knows his game well... not to mention an excellent family man and a great friend that he has now become of mine. If I had to come up with one word to describe John Harrison that would be TRUSTING. Sincerely, Miss Mel Gorham
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn sold my appartment in 2013 we had several offers on the table and we were able to get the full asking price. John is very knowledgeable in what he does, he listens to the clients needs and put in perspective what was best for me and most important he delivers.
ZillowVERIFIEDWow! I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with John Harrison. Right after my husband and I got married, we were looking for a new apartment to call home and John made that happen. He took all of our criteria and budget into account, only showing us apartments that he knew would meet all of our needs. None of this running all over the city to look at places that would just be wasting our time. He was organized, knowledgeable, efficient, professional, QUICK to return emails/calls/texts, really listened to what we wanted and was an overall joy to work with. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family looking for a spot in New York. He's absolutely the best there is!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is THE BEST! I have had my share of experiences with a variety of brokers.. male, female, sellers, buyers, younger and more current, older and more experienced, and far and away on all counts John is awesome. I cannot speak his praises enough. He was helpful throughout the process on a professional level in his capacity as my realtor, and on a personal level addressing my needs as I parted with my beloved apartment. He is smart and skillful in his approach and was amazingly personable to me and all parties involved on a potential deal. Not to mention I had one particularly difficult situation, and he handled it with ease and grace. I hope this review isn't shrugged off as too positive, but I truly have nothing negative to say.
ZillowVERIFIEDAfter meeting with three brokers, John included, it was a clear choice that John was who I wanted to work with to sell my condo. John came to the initial meeting well-prepared with market data and having considered specifically my unit and building. Not only did he provide updated knowledge of the market, but also he listened carefully to my goals as he assisted me in determining whether to hold or sell my apartment. Once I determined I would sell, John marketed my unit extremely well and when it was listed there was excellent activity very soon. John was detail oriented and conscientious consistently throughout the process right to the closing. I relocated before my apartment was sold and John stepped in making sure my apartment was ready for the open houses and secure. John operates with a high level of integrity and professionalism and it is a pleasure to work with him.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Harrison has a passion for Real Estate. He knows NYC and understands the ever evolving real estate market that is NYC. John has his finger on the pulse of what is going to be the next hot neighborhood or the best buy for the first time buyer or the seasoned investor .. He cares deeply about his clients and I have never met a more honest and hardworking broker in my 14 years of living in NYC. John has helped me and my family through multiple real estate scenarios and apartment shopping all over NYC. Each experience with him has made us excited for the next time we can work with him as a broker who will go above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done with a unique approach. Thanks John for all you do, Patrick
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was an absolute delight to deal with. He walked me through a somewhat complicated purchase seamlessly, and was always available to offer honest and sage advice. I would and have recommended him to friends without hesitation.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn provided me 5-star service even though my budget was very tight and the process was like looking for a needle in a haystack. While most other agents I worked with through the process put me at the bottom of their list, I never felt like that with John. He was proactive to get the info needed to best negotiate, educated me at every step of the way and patiently worked with my verbal processing style as I figured out an initial offer (great devil's advocate). John developed great relationships with the seller's brokers wherever we went. I was also able to count on John to refer me to lawyers and other providers that delivered the same high quality service. I'm very excited about my purchase!
