Client Reviews

I could not be more pleased with the service I received from Eric Bottomley during my apartment search. Although I had a certain building in mind, Eric showed me alternative apartments which met my criteria which were not pictured on Streeteasy (my go to source of information). We worked to put together my information almost immediately and he went to the management office first thing the next day to be the first in line to ensure he did everything possible to get me the apartment of my dreams.

Finding an apartment is extremely stressful but Eric listened to my criteria intently to make sure we only saw apartments I would like and I found an incredible apartment as a result! I will be recommending Eric to anyone looking to rent or buy in New York as I have no doubt they will have as great an experience as I did. Thank you Eric for all your help!

I simply cannot imagine a better realtor to have worked with. Nobody can beat Eric's timing, attentiveness, or knowledge. I signed my lease only FIVE DAYS after first initiating contact with Eric. As soon as I sent my first inquiry for a listing, Eric promptly responded with an email. In that email, Eric set up a time to see the place inquired for, and additionally, asked for a full list of my criteria--price, area, amenities, etc. In addition to showing us the inquired of place, Eric also prepared showings for several other places that fit my criteria to perfection. Once I had decided on a building, and was choosing between two units, Eric was extremely proactive in contacting the management company and getting them to approve my application despite requesting a move-in date later than the management company had listed. All in all, there was not a single drawback to working with Eric. He was professional, punctual, knowledgeable about the area, and was simply a delight to work with. I have already recommended Eric to several other friends who will be looking for places soon, and look forward to recommending him in the future.

Eric was a fantastic broker - provided us with an incredible apartment for a great price. Highly recommend working with Eric - he was incredibly responsive and found the right apartments that matched our criteria.

Eric showed us several rental apartments and was very knowledgeable about the apartments / neighborhood. He was a pleasure to deal with and recommend him highly.

Unlike other agents, Eric knew exactly what I wanted from the onset. Understanding what I wanted was critical to me since my viewing time was limited. Once he identified what would work for me, he was spot on and I went to contract right away. Eric went that extra mile, he took all the stress out of the leasing process and ran between me and the company which effectively he did not need to. I truly felt that he went beyond his remit to render a perfect service, other brokers would have just left it all up to me to figure out. I would recommend working with Eric at any time, he actually made apartment hunting seamless and dare I say, pretty enjoyable too!

Eric found us a fantastic apartment in the neighborhood we wanted and within our price range. He was a great negotiator and extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market. I would absolutely recommend working w Eric on your quest for a new home.

My roommate and I had a few issues that landlords have a problem with and we had many non-negotiables, both of which made finding an apartment almost impossible! We went through a few brokers first who ignored all of our criteria and wasted our time. Eric took the time to show us what we wanted, was extremely responsive, and negotiated our dream apartment for us! We are so happy and so thrilled and could not have done it without Eric. I've worked with alot of brokers over the years and can say with complete confidence that Eric is the best out there.

Working with Eric and Anchor NYC was an absolute pleasure. I had very specific criteria when looking for my current apartment, and I did not think it would be possible to find exactly what I needed within my budget. Eric did a great job of helping find a just the right place at the right price. I have been in my new apartment with my dog since the beginning of May, and we could not be happier. I would recommend Eric to anyone regardless of your budget or criteria with complete confidence that he will deliver your dream residence. I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of and Eric was so flexible with my work schedule when scheduling apartment viewings. He really understands your needs and then comes through with multiple options to show. I am so glad I met him!

I've known Eric Bottomley as a significant member of the Manhattan Real Estate scene for about quite some time now. As both a good friend and a broker, he helped me navigate the delicate process to getting into my current co-op.

When it comes to professional roles like a broker of any asset, the key is finding somebody you actually would want to work with, rather than someone you're being forced to converse with. Eric really is one of those rare breeds who make the laborious more enjoyable.
