Testimonials
“Ari and his team are a first class organization. Their collective experience, real estate market knowledge and guidance throughout the process
made the purchase process very smooth. Start to finish Ari and his team provided excellent guidance and advice while their level of
communication was impeccable. I would not hesitate to recommend Ari to anyone involved in a real estate transaction and would certainly
use Ari for my next transaction. I would be pleased to serve as a reference for anyone considering his services.” –M.S., buyer
“Ari represented us on both the sell and buy side and we couldn't recommend him more highly. He was always ready with exhaustive
information and sound analysis when we asked for it and yet gave us plenty of space to make our own decisions. Ari is a very smart,
sober negotiator and helped us navigate all the tricky timing issues of buy, sell and renovation-to-move-in dates smoothly. Ultimately, he
made what can be a very harrowing process pain free, and we daresay — even fun.” - Betty T. & Matt G., buyers and sellers
"There's nothing more important than partnering with a first-in-class real estate professional and organization to sell an apartment in this
challenging environment. From the moment I met Ari, I knew he was going to be the perfect person to help me market my apartment to
success. Ari has a keen understanding of the Williamsburg market and brought thoughtful insight to pricing and marketing strategies that
paid off resulting in not just one, but several offers in less than one month's time. I highly recommend Ari to bring added value to any real
estate listing in the New York City area.” - D.S., seller
“We were introduced to Ari by our trusted financial adviser and hit it off immediately. Despite his considerable experience, Ari seems to bring
fresh energy to each project. Ari helped us orchestrate both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing one, all within our
time frame and expectations. Most importantly, whenever we'd start to feel overwhelmed, we could count on Ari to come to the rescue
(and let us get on with our lives!).” - Scott D. & Liz H., buyers and sellers
“Ari Harkov brings to the table a broad set of skills: attention to detail, analytical abilities, a warm and friendly personality, patience, and a
genuine willingness to assist his clients at all times. As a demanding customer, I found that Ari promptly responded to my requests at all
times throughout the process. Given the current recessionary environment and New York City real estate market, I was looking for a
broker who set himself apart from the crowd. Searching for my first co-op and unfamiliar with the mechanics of the process, Ari was eager
to educate me and promptly responded to all my questions. Working with him led to my closing at a price roughly 20% below where
similar units were offered at that time.” – Santiago A., buyer
“Ari and Warner act as a true team with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. They are aware and ahead of the market and
honest and supportive through the process. On the sale, they were able to leverage their resources to get the maximum amount of
visibility for our listing. Even in a challenging environment, we had a signed contract in less than a week at a price that we were happy
with. On the purchase, they gave us objective guidance and were sensitive to our timing and needs. We relied on their experience and
real estate knowledge to find our new home and simultaneously close two deals in a short timeframe. The process was easy thanks to
their efforts and we couldn't be happier with the results.” - Danielle & Steven C., buyers and sellers
“While I like to think I am pretty good at handling stressful situations nothing quite prepared me for purchasing my first home. Warner was an
invaluable asset in navigating both the emotional and financial waters that go into home ownership. Throughout the process he was truly
there every step of the way to make sure that I was knowledgeable and comfortable with every decision being made. What started off as
a working relationship has now turned into a life long friendship.” - Sam R., VP of A&R Atlantic Records, buyer and seller
“Ari is a consummate professional. After having met many brokers, we knew right away when we met Ari that this was the person that we
wanted to guide us through our purchase and represent us at the negotiating table. He exudes confidence and for good reason: Ari is
young, bright, and extremely knowledgeable. He armed us with the information we needed to make an educated decision, afforded us
room to breathe, and was available to us at every point of the way. Best of all, he negotiated a 19% price reduction on our first-choice
home. We feel exceedingly confident in recommending Ari to anyone.” – Evan & Shelly G., buyers
“My husband and I sold our apartment with Ari during a very challenging time. Besides the housing market being in a tough spot, we were also
expecting our first child. Ari was a dream to work with during this time. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. He made the process
effortless! We trusted Ari's professional advice, which made us feel very comfortable in our decisions, and his attention to detail, follow up,
and work ethic were all wonderful. He was never pushy, and in fact he actually was very calming and informative. It would be a pleasure
to recommend him to others and to work with him again!” – Melanie & Nick L., sellers
“We first met Ari years ago at an open house and immediately liked him. His abundant knowledge of NYC real estate and general
professionalism were evident right from the start. We kept an eye on the market, randomly emailing him with questions over the years and
he was always happy to help. When we finally decided to buy, he was our first call! As first time home buyers, Ari was able to teach us the
ins and outs of buying in Manhattan. We felt confident in negotiations knowing that one of the best in the business was representing us.
Now that we are settled in our new home, we would not hesitate to refer Ari to our closest friends and family.” – B.G. & S.T., buyers
Testimonials (cont.)
“Ari is a true professional. After dealing with numerous other brokers, working with Ari was a refreshing experience. As first time buyers, we
were extremely cautious. Ari was not only knowledgeable, but more importantly, he was patient and a straight-shooter. He helped guide us
through the process, providing valuable insight into the highly challenging Manhattan real estate market, which ultimately led us to closing on
our new home. We could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to working with Ari again in the future.” – Ryan & Jann P.,
buyers
"I would highly recommend Ari as well as his entire team for anyone who is looking for a broker. He is nothing but perfect--the best one should
expect! Very professional, knowledgeable, always attentive, patient, and will always provide the client with the best service and help. He will
get you the best value for your property.” -A.Rom, seller
“Ari and Warner have represented me twice in buying a home and once in selling it. I could not recommend them too highly. On the selling
side, they did an outstanding work. They priced the apartment right, produced stellar marketing material, negotiated skillfully with buyers and
dealt patiently with the demands of a difficult co-op board. On the buying side, they negotiated a very fast and profitable deal on both
occasions. At all times, they were sensitive to the needs of my family, extremely competent, professional, fun and never pushy. They are by far
and away the best agents I have ever dealt with and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else in New York City.” -I.R., seller and buyer
“Deciding to sell my first apartment was a difficult and stressful situation. Warner was extremely helpful and supportive. He was very receptive
to my concerns and was always flexible and considerate of my schedule. Most of all, Warner is so honest and hardworking. He kept me very
informed with constant updates and offered invaluable advice. He listened to my needs, and got me a great deal for my apartment in a short
period of time. I highly recommend him and will use him again when the time comes.” – D.G. seller
“I had the pleasure of working with Warner when I was looking to purchase an apartment in Manhattan. Warner was extremely knowledgeable
about the various markets in downtown Manhattan. He was also patient and took the time to understand what I particularly wanted in an
apartment. When I found the right apartment, Warner was instrumental in helping me secure the contract. Although I had offered the lowest
of four offers on the apartment, I learned later that the sellers were so swayed by my statement of interest (drafted entirely by Warner) that
they decided to counteroffer only to me. Two years later when I needed to sell my apartment to relocate to the West Coast, there was no
question in my mind who my broker would be. I was in a rush to sell, and Warner delivered, completing the sale of my apartment within 3
months of putting it on the market with a final sale price 11% over the purchase price. If you are looking to buy or sell an apartment in
Manhattan, I highly recommend Warner's services, without reservation.” –J.J., buyer and seller
“It was a dream working with Ari. He helped us to find our apartment very quickly after our initial meeting, despite a low inventory available on
the market. We would definitely recommend having him by your side during such an important and stressful time.” – Ashley and Sharif H.
Testimonials (cont.)
“Simply put, Warner is a pro. His knowledge of an extremely dynamic market is impressive, and was vital in our decision to list our apartment.
He was able to devise a strategy that met our needs not only with price, but with closing times to accommodate our eventual move. Everything
played out exactly how he predicted, and he was able to secure a deal in a timely fashion. Overall, Warner guided us through each part of the
process with sound advice and kept us calm. If you are looking for someone to be a real advocate for you, and make the whole process as
headache-free as possible, this is your guy!” –J.S., seller
“I was relieved to have a colleague refer me to Ari after two deals fell through. Ari brought a strong point of view on the market due to his deep
knowledge of the dynamics and advised us on how to aggressively pursue a property that met all of our requirements. When Ari set our
expectations on what the market was demanding and what the deal would require, we were able to close with ease. Strong client skills are rare
to find and Ari is very good at setting expectations and guiding you through the rough spots. We are so grateful we found someone as
grounded, strategic and intelligent as Ari is." –S.M. & G.K., buyers
“My wife and I had the pleasure of being represented by the Harkov Lewis Team over the course of 5 years. Through countless open houses,
several bids, two false starts and finally one closing, Warner and Ari provided the guidance and market knowledge needed to navigate complex
markets during the highest highs and the lowest lows. The team’s professionalism and integrity are bar none, and we would recommend them
without reservations to real estate rookies and veterans alike.” – R.C. & A.C., buyers
"Ari is not your typical real estate broker with whom you feel you have to second guess everything they say. He's smart, practical, and very
knowledgeable on the New York market and Williamsburg in particular, where he not only works, but also resides. He is extremely responsive
and no question is too crazy. Ari was a great guide to the long and complex journey to a successful closing, and helped us generate multiple
bidders on our sale, as well as negotiate down our purchase price with ease." –J.S. & C.H., buyers and sellers
“I first met Ari in connection with the purchase of an apartment in New York City. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and flexible and
showed me the apartment several times for taking measurements etc. Subsequently, Ari sold a different property for me in NYC. He was able
to negotiate a price above my expectations and he managed the marketing, negotiation and administrative aspects of the transaction in a
smooth and efficient way. Working with Ari was a pleasure and a learning experience on the complexities of real estate transactions. I would
never think of buying or selling a property without at least consulting with Ari. In summary, he is transparent, knowledgeable, efficient and a
great person to work with. Thank you Ari.” – P.B., buyer & seller
“After being traded to the New York Rangers, my life was a bit of a blur. Warner & Ari came in and took care of everything. I would recommend
them highly to anyone who wants to be looked after with the utmost care and professionalism.” - Chris H., former New York Rangers player

What makes us different?
This moment represents a very important decision for you. So, as your potential partner, our credentials
are important.
Halstead Property is one of the most visible and respected real estate firms in the Tri-State Area. We
have a rich legacy. In fact, Halstead is the standard-bearer of a number of great Metro New York real
estate traditions dating from the late 1800’s. Our principals include David A. Burris, Kent M. Swig, Arthur
W. Zeckendorf and William Lie Zeckendorf, legendary icons in the business. Great brokers come to work
here to be in good company. We’ve worked very hard over the last two decades to achieve excellent
results for our clients, and have a stellar reputation built on our core principles: expertise, service, integrity
and passion for what we do. The agents of Halstead Property will serve you in a full service capacity. This
expertise is combined with an award-winning support system, innovative web and marketing programs,
global reach, and the finest management team in the business.
A B O U T
Largest Privately Owned Tri-State Area Firm
Our offices, our agents and our ownership are locally based and community minded. This sets us apart
from the somewhat impersonal national firms. At the same time, Halstead Property is one of the area’s
largest real estate companies and the single largest privately-owned independent firm that receives
additional value and resources via our parent company, Terra Holdings. Firm size is important, but it’s not
everything. Quality of services matters more.
Since Clark Halstead opened our doors in 1984, we have expanded our depth of service through offices all
over New York City, Metro NJ, Hudson Valley, Fairfield County CT and the Hamptons. When you are
partnering with one of our agents, know that you are also partnering with an extremely powerful network
made up of 1000+ real estate professionals from 23 prime storefront offices, supported by thousands of
worldwide partners. In addition, our Property Management Division manages over 18,000 units in New
York. We boast affiliations with local stakeholders in communities and neighborhoods around the world.
Together, these assets bring you enormous value as we work together.
A B O U T
We’re Recognized Innovators
Led by President Diane M. Ramirez, Halstead Property is known as an industry pioneer, which is how we
have become a leader in many areas of our business. We were the first to create storefront offices and
take real estate out of the typical corporate Midtown offices and bring it into the communities we serve. To
this day, our offices are among the most strategically placed in the highest trafficked areas. This
placement creates outstanding showcases for our properties. We were also one of the first to turbo-
charge the buying and selling of property through aggressive use of technology, by registering domain
names to start a real estate site back in the 90s, and were the first in the Tri-State area to embrace video
and incorporate social networking into our business model. But being first is not enough. We are the best.
Best Trained Agents in the Industry
Our formal training programs include intensive initial training sessions for all agents joining the company
as well as advanced real estate seminars fortified by ongoing education in creative financing, time
management, effective marketing and more. We expect our agents to open doors for you, thus we open
doors for them. This is why Halstead’s multi-tiered continual education program is tailored with such care
by a dedicated team; one that constantly procures information on good business practices, the latest
technological advances and the unique market needs of each area we serve.

  • 6. Testimonials “Ari and his team are a first class organization. Their collective experience, real estate market knowledge and guidance throughout the process made the purchase process very smooth. Start to finish Ari and his team provided excellent guidance and advice while their level of communication was impeccable. I would not hesitate to recommend Ari to anyone involved in a real estate transaction and would certainly use Ari for my next transaction. I would be pleased to serve as a reference for anyone considering his services.” –M.S., buyer “Ari represented us on both the sell and buy side and we couldn't recommend him more highly. He was always ready with exhaustive information and sound analysis when we asked for it and yet gave us plenty of space to make our own decisions. Ari is a very smart, sober negotiator and helped us navigate all the tricky timing issues of buy, sell and renovation-to-move-in dates smoothly. Ultimately, he made what can be a very harrowing process pain free, and we daresay — even fun.” - Betty T. & Matt G., buyers and sellers "There's nothing more important than partnering with a first-in-class real estate professional and organization to sell an apartment in this challenging environment. From the moment I met Ari, I knew he was going to be the perfect person to help me market my apartment to success. Ari has a keen understanding of the Williamsburg market and brought thoughtful insight to pricing and marketing strategies that paid off resulting in not just one, but several offers in less than one month's time. I highly recommend Ari to bring added value to any real estate listing in the New York City area.” - D.S., seller “We were introduced to Ari by our trusted financial adviser and hit it off immediately. Despite his considerable experience, Ari seems to bring fresh energy to each project. Ari helped us orchestrate both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing one, all within our time frame and expectations. Most importantly, whenever we'd start to feel overwhelmed, we could count on Ari to come to the rescue (and let us get on with our lives!).” - Scott D. & Liz H., buyers and sellers “Ari Harkov brings to the table a broad set of skills: attention to detail, analytical abilities, a warm and friendly personality, patience, and a genuine willingness to assist his clients at all times. As a demanding customer, I found that Ari promptly responded to my requests at all times throughout the process. Given the current recessionary environment and New York City real estate market, I was looking for a broker who set himself apart from the crowd. Searching for my first co-op and unfamiliar with the mechanics of the process, Ari was eager to educate me and promptly responded to all my questions. Working with him led to my closing at a price roughly 20% below where similar units were offered at that time.” – Santiago A., buyer
  • 7. “Ari and Warner act as a true team with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. They are aware and ahead of the market and honest and supportive through the process. On the sale, they were able to leverage their resources to get the maximum amount of visibility for our listing. Even in a challenging environment, we had a signed contract in less than a week at a price that we were happy with. On the purchase, they gave us objective guidance and were sensitive to our timing and needs. We relied on their experience and real estate knowledge to find our new home and simultaneously close two deals in a short timeframe. The process was easy thanks to their efforts and we couldn't be happier with the results.” - Danielle & Steven C., buyers and sellers “While I like to think I am pretty good at handling stressful situations nothing quite prepared me for purchasing my first home. Warner was an invaluable asset in navigating both the emotional and financial waters that go into home ownership. Throughout the process he was truly there every step of the way to make sure that I was knowledgeable and comfortable with every decision being made. What started off as a working relationship has now turned into a life long friendship.” - Sam R., VP of A&R Atlantic Records, buyer and seller “Ari is a consummate professional. After having met many brokers, we knew right away when we met Ari that this was the person that we wanted to guide us through our purchase and represent us at the negotiating table. He exudes confidence and for good reason: Ari is young, bright, and extremely knowledgeable. He armed us with the information we needed to make an educated decision, afforded us room to breathe, and was available to us at every point of the way. Best of all, he negotiated a 19% price reduction on our first-choice home. We feel exceedingly confident in recommending Ari to anyone.” – Evan & Shelly G., buyers “My husband and I sold our apartment with Ari during a very challenging time. Besides the housing market being in a tough spot, we were also expecting our first child. Ari was a dream to work with during this time. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. He made the process effortless! We trusted Ari's professional advice, which made us feel very comfortable in our decisions, and his attention to detail, follow up, and work ethic were all wonderful. He was never pushy, and in fact he actually was very calming and informative. It would be a pleasure to recommend him to others and to work with him again!” – Melanie & Nick L., sellers “We first met Ari years ago at an open house and immediately liked him. His abundant knowledge of NYC real estate and general professionalism were evident right from the start. We kept an eye on the market, randomly emailing him with questions over the years and he was always happy to help. When we finally decided to buy, he was our first call! As first time home buyers, Ari was able to teach us the ins and outs of buying in Manhattan. We felt confident in negotiations knowing that one of the best in the business was representing us. Now that we are settled in our new home, we would not hesitate to refer Ari to our closest friends and family.” – B.G. & S.T., buyers Testimonials (cont.)
  • 8. “Ari is a true professional. After dealing with numerous other brokers, working with Ari was a refreshing experience. As first time buyers, we were extremely cautious. Ari was not only knowledgeable, but more importantly, he was patient and a straight-shooter. He helped guide us through the process, providing valuable insight into the highly challenging Manhattan real estate market, which ultimately led us to closing on our new home. We could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to working with Ari again in the future.” – Ryan & Jann P., buyers "I would highly recommend Ari as well as his entire team for anyone who is looking for a broker. He is nothing but perfect--the best one should expect! Very professional, knowledgeable, always attentive, patient, and will always provide the client with the best service and help. He will get you the best value for your property.” -A.Rom, seller “Ari and Warner have represented me twice in buying a home and once in selling it. I could not recommend them too highly. On the selling side, they did an outstanding work. They priced the apartment right, produced stellar marketing material, negotiated skillfully with buyers and dealt patiently with the demands of a difficult co-op board. On the buying side, they negotiated a very fast and profitable deal on both occasions. At all times, they were sensitive to the needs of my family, extremely competent, professional, fun and never pushy. They are by far and away the best agents I have ever dealt with and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else in New York City.” -I.R., seller and buyer “Deciding to sell my first apartment was a difficult and stressful situation. Warner was extremely helpful and supportive. He was very receptive to my concerns and was always flexible and considerate of my schedule. Most of all, Warner is so honest and hardworking. He kept me very informed with constant updates and offered invaluable advice. He listened to my needs, and got me a great deal for my apartment in a short period of time. I highly recommend him and will use him again when the time comes.” – D.G. seller “I had the pleasure of working with Warner when I was looking to purchase an apartment in Manhattan. Warner was extremely knowledgeable about the various markets in downtown Manhattan. He was also patient and took the time to understand what I particularly wanted in an apartment. When I found the right apartment, Warner was instrumental in helping me secure the contract. Although I had offered the lowest of four offers on the apartment, I learned later that the sellers were so swayed by my statement of interest (drafted entirely by Warner) that they decided to counteroffer only to me. Two years later when I needed to sell my apartment to relocate to the West Coast, there was no question in my mind who my broker would be. I was in a rush to sell, and Warner delivered, completing the sale of my apartment within 3 months of putting it on the market with a final sale price 11% over the purchase price. If you are looking to buy or sell an apartment in Manhattan, I highly recommend Warner's services, without reservation.” –J.J., buyer and seller “It was a dream working with Ari. He helped us to find our apartment very quickly after our initial meeting, despite a low inventory available on the market. We would definitely recommend having him by your side during such an important and stressful time.” – Ashley and Sharif H. Testimonials (cont.)
  • 9. “Simply put, Warner is a pro. His knowledge of an extremely dynamic market is impressive, and was vital in our decision to list our apartment. He was able to devise a strategy that met our needs not only with price, but with closing times to accommodate our eventual move. Everything played out exactly how he predicted, and he was able to secure a deal in a timely fashion. Overall, Warner guided us through each part of the process with sound advice and kept us calm. If you are looking for someone to be a real advocate for you, and make the whole process as headache-free as possible, this is your guy!” –J.S., seller “I was relieved to have a colleague refer me to Ari after two deals fell through. Ari brought a strong point of view on the market due to his deep knowledge of the dynamics and advised us on how to aggressively pursue a property that met all of our requirements. When Ari set our expectations on what the market was demanding and what the deal would require, we were able to close with ease. Strong client skills are rare to find and Ari is very good at setting expectations and guiding you through the rough spots. We are so grateful we found someone as grounded, strategic and intelligent as Ari is." –S.M. & G.K., buyers “My wife and I had the pleasure of being represented by the Harkov Lewis Team over the course of 5 years. Through countless open houses, several bids, two false starts and finally one closing, Warner and Ari provided the guidance and market knowledge needed to navigate complex markets during the highest highs and the lowest lows. The team’s professionalism and integrity are bar none, and we would recommend them without reservations to real estate rookies and veterans alike.” – R.C. & A.C., buyers "Ari is not your typical real estate broker with whom you feel you have to second guess everything they say. He's smart, practical, and very knowledgeable on the New York market and Williamsburg in particular, where he not only works, but also resides. He is extremely responsive and no question is too crazy. Ari was a great guide to the long and complex journey to a successful closing, and helped us generate multiple bidders on our sale, as well as negotiate down our purchase price with ease." –J.S. & C.H., buyers and sellers “I first met Ari in connection with the purchase of an apartment in New York City. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and flexible and showed me the apartment several times for taking measurements etc. Subsequently, Ari sold a different property for me in NYC. He was able to negotiate a price above my expectations and he managed the marketing, negotiation and administrative aspects of the transaction in a smooth and efficient way. Working with Ari was a pleasure and a learning experience on the complexities of real estate transactions. I would never think of buying or selling a property without at least consulting with Ari. In summary, he is transparent, knowledgeable, efficient and a great person to work with. Thank you Ari.” – P.B., buyer & seller “After being traded to the New York Rangers, my life was a bit of a blur. Warner & Ari came in and took care of everything. I would recommend them highly to anyone who wants to be looked after with the utmost care and professionalism.” - Chris H., former New York Rangers player Testimonials (cont.)

Zeckendorf and William Lie Zeckendorf, legendary icons in the business. Great brokers come to work here to be in good company.

  • 45. A B O U T Largest Privately Owned Tri-State Area Firm Our offices, our agents and our ownership are locally based and community minded. This sets us apart from the somewhat impersonal national firms. At the same time, Halstead Property is one of the area’s largest real estate companies and the single largest privately-owned independent firm that receives additional value and resources via our parent company, Terra Holdings. Firm size is important, but it’s not everything. Quality of services matters more.

  • 46. A B O U T We’re Recognized Innovators Led by President Diane M. Ramirez, Halstead Property is known as an industry pioneer, which is how we have become a leader in many areas of our business. We were the first to create storefront offices and take real estate out of the typical corporate Midtown offices and bring it into the communities we serve. To this day, our offices are among the most strategically placed in the highest trafficked areas. This placement creates outstanding showcases for our properties. We were also one of the first to turbo- charge the buying and selling of property through aggressive use of technology, by registering domain names to start a real estate site back in the 90s, and were the first in the Tri-State area to embrace video and incorporate social networking into our business model. But being first is not enough. We are the best. Best Trained Agents in the Industry Our formal training programs include intensive initial training sessions for all agents joining the company as well as advanced real estate seminars fortified by ongoing education in creative financing, time management, effective marketing and more. We expect our agents to open doors for you, thus we open doors for them. This is why Halstead’s multi-tiered continual education program is tailored with such care by a dedicated team; one that constantly procures information on good business practices, the latest technological advances and the unique market needs of each area we serve.
