"My wife and I were referred to Haley through a friend and we could not have been happier with our choice of broker. Haley was tremendously helpful in completing the lease application and negotiation process. In fact, she was able to secure favorable lease terms for us. Her knowledge and experience in the NYC market gave us confidence and comfort that Haley would represent our best interests throughout the process. Finally, Haley truly understands customer service. She helped us exit our prior lease and deal with our not-so-friendly former landlord. She answered all of our questions and was available to discuss them at our convenience. All in all, working with Haley has been our best experience working with brokers in NYC."

"If you're looking to buy a home in the city, look no further for any and all of your real estate needs. Haley is the most compassionate, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and well-versed real estate agent that I have ever worked with. Prior to meeting Haley I worked with many real estate agents, and the common factor amongst all of them was that this was simply a job to them - a way to pay the bills. They had little understanding of the often emotional and arduous process that goes along with buying a home and lacked empathy toward their customers' needs. For Haley, this is more than a job. Everything that she does is held to the highest standard, and she goes above and beyond all the time. She is committed to making sure that the process of buying a home goes seamlessly for her customers, and she is extremely passionate about her work. Haley is also a pleasure to work with; She is friendly, responsive and gets along well with everyone. I assure you that you will not be disappointed with the quality of work that Haley provides. I will highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home!"

"If avoiding all the horror stories and negativity surrounding apartment purchases and rentals in Manhattan is important to you, Haley Rutherford is the real estate agent for you. My first apartment search was a nightmare so when it came time to move I wanted to work with someone who had been vetted. I asked a friend for advice and they told me I had to work with Haley. The process was 100% seamless. After my roommate and I discussed our parameters with Haley, we scheduled a day that weekend to look at 3-4 different places. Every single apartment was amazing and less expensive than what we had seen online through other agents. I had such a wonderful experience that I came straight to Haley when it was time to purchase an apartment of my own. I emailed her on a Friday, we sat down the following Monday, and that Thursday she showed me the apartment I eventually purchased. She knew exactly what I wanted and nailed it on the first try. Of course I had her show me a few other places but ended up making an offer on that first apartment. Whether it was figuring out a fair and reasonable offer to make, or working in tandem with my attorney to negotiate intricate details of the contract, Haley was there for me every step of the way. Her knowledge of the New York City market, commitment to her clients, professionalism, and passion made my first home purchase hassle and stress free. I have and continue to recommend Haley to everyone I know looking to buy or rent an apartment."

"Haley was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad that I worked with her to buy my first apartment in Manhattan. I had been renting for several years and was finally ready to purchase my first home. I was, of course, very nervous about this process, being it was the first time I would be purchasing, and in the Manhattan real estate market. A few days after Haley and I first spoke, she had several apartments for me to look at that all fulfilled my requirements. The first day we went to look I found exactly what I was looking for when we saw the second apartment on the list! We put in an offer quickly, it was accepted, and then Haley worked closely with me over the next month to help me prepare the best board package to present to the co-op board at my building. I believe it was directly due to Haley's expertise and knowledge of the market and the co-op process that my purchase was completed quickly and successfully, and I now am living in my dream apartment! I recommend Haley unreservedly to anyone who needs real estate assistance! "

"We are new to NYC and tried to find an apartment on our own. After several disappointing showings, we called Adam. We gave him a list of what amenities we were looking for and he found us exactly that the next day. We gave them a deposit that day. Adam walked us through the co-op renting process and stayed with us every step of the way. Absolutely no problems getting into the place. We highly recommend Adam and couldn't have found a place without him. 5-star service!"
