Positive:Professionalism
It was great to work with Chris from Advantage. He didn't waste our time showing us any rentals that weren't right for us and when he found a good fit he had all the information we needed. Chris also made the relationship with the landlord go very smoothly. Great communicator!

Our company just used Advantage Realty to find is an affordable warehouse. As a not-for-profit business, it was important that we find a place that was affordable and included all our requirements to house our unique equipment.
Chris Cosio found us several options and was "on it" from our very first meeting. He found us a great place. I wish we were getting a discount for posting this review, but we're not. Genuine review from a real customer.
Definatly call them!

We have been using Advantage Realty for the past three years. From the moment we started working with Mike and Chris they promoted our property and were extremely proactive. Every week we would receive updates and within a few weeks we had more interest than we did in the year before. Due to their expertise our building is now almost fully occupied. We feel very fortunate to have found Mike and Chris. If you would like to have brokers that stay on top of all matters, check in with you, are extremely proactive/responsive and honest you should contact Mike and Chris at Advantage.Highly recommended

A couple of years ago we needed to move our warehouse from the Bronx to Fairfield County. I was referred to Advantage Realty and Mike and Chris. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. After looking at a couple properties, we found our space, and it was under our budget. I would recommend Advantage to anyone looking for commercial property.
