I have been a tenant of Santino's for over two years. He is always responsive and takes pride in his properties. Thanks, Santino. Happy to have you as our landlord and appreciate all your hard work.

I just moved out of my apartment managed by DeRose & Appelbaum and wanted to give them a shoutout. They were an incredible company to work with throughout my time with them. My landlord was responsive and efficient, and the folks in the office were accommodating and available (thanks, Santino!) I've lived in many apartments in the past and this was not only a great apartment, but a great experience overall. Recommend!!

Nasty disposition Office manager Sean. I called inquiring about office space for a new business i would be needing space for. Before i could get into detail about the space available i was quickly shutdown by the office manager Sean who told me immediately Oh this would be to large for what your looking for without even knowing what i was looking for. Absolutely RUDE! Thanks but no Thanks hope you have a better day Sean.

I first met Santino when he was the broker representing the owner of a building I rented a space from. He was kind, available and super easy to work with. Fast forward a yearish later. I needed to rent an additional space. I reached out to Santino to see if he would help me find a new space. A week later in walked my savior, Shannon Mackey, a broker at his business.

Shannon worked with me for about 6 months - looking at spaces, responding to my freak out emails and texts, advising me, writing up and reviewing proposals, etc. There are truly not enough superlatives to describe Shannon - competent
