  1. Disappointing experience with Jodi Nath here at Argo. After seeing the apartment and expressing interest, she let me know I was the perfect candidate. I went through a lot to provide her all the required docs including 4 signed reference …

  2. Jodi was absolutely incredible in helping me get into my very first apartment! The process was seamless, and she was always available to help with any and all questions I had throughout it all! Thank you so much Jodi.

  3. The property management office for the Argo properties in Kew Gardens/Briarwood is unbelievably unresponsive. I’ve lived here for about 9-10 months and since I’ve moved in there has been a massive construction undertaking which entailed …

  4. Nightmares. The extent that they go to to inconvenience residents is disgusting. Stay away if you can help it. You don’t want to be a part of this expensive migraine.

  5. Inexcusable: APPLICATION AND A SECOND NON-REFUNDABLE FEE PLUS ELECTRICITY AND GAS NOT COVERED BY LANDLORD AND NOT EXPLAINED IN ADVANCE.1 also, siz eof apt. not indicated in internet postings. …

  6. This is the worst building management company I have seen. Horrifying behavior from the property manager of our building. I could write an essay here, but I’m going to hold back for now.

  7. Worst management company on the face of the earth!!!! We have had endless problems and it is like pulling teeth to have them try to fix any of the issues. STAY FAR AWAY!! You won’t regret it. They are the absolutely worst people I have ever come across. Disgusted.

  8. Great customer service. The people that I have had contact with at Argo have been amazing, knowledgeable and (I believe) truly cared about me. Highly recommend!

  9. This company has buildings with roaches and no hot water which is illegal. Their employees are not helpful with issues and just don’t seem to care especially the ones in the office who have a nasty attitude if you ask them the simplest of questions.

  10. There have been no replies to letters written in the past, and they are very slow in returning phone calls. Three times I have found “voice mails” when redirected by operator — and no call backs. Billing statements with hikes in fees call …

  11. Completely unprofessional. Asked to speak to a person and was transferred to voicemail multiple times and no one got back to me. I asked to speak with someone in charge and they transferred me yet again to voicemail. How can I trust working with a company that doesn’t return calls?

  12. Charles Kriegel was a professional and a very knowledgeable broker. He’s got a lot of great listings in Queens and LI on all the major real estate sites (Zillow, Trulia). He explained the Ins and Outs of the process and provided us with …

  13. If I could give this company zero stars I would. The customer service is shoddy if you can actually get a hold of a living, breathing human being, and I’ve experienced costly, mind-boggling errors on the part of their subcontractors that no …

  14. I dreaded subletting my apartment–I hate moving and feared having to find a subletter my board would approve of– but Christian Smith, my Argo broker, took care of everything and in record time. Now I’m happy, the board is happy, and so is my new tenant.

  15. I rented in Kew Gardens, Queens. The management lady- Anne Marie is really not great to deal with. She takes bribes and I know this for a fact, and she has favorites and arbitrarily gives them better deals and lesser rent increases. Also …

  16. It was a pleasure doing business with Argo. Everyone there is so professional, helpful, considerate and hard working. All my questions were answered in a really professional and fast manner. I’d definitely recommend anyone to use their services.

  17. I wish I could give this company less than one star. The experience I have had with them has been nothing short of a nightmare. The employees have been terribly unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude in dealing with even the simplest of …

  18. Such poor customer service. Called for over two hours and was unable to reach our building manager or his supervisor or his assistant. No one ever called me back. When I finally did insist to the operator that I speak to someone, she paged …

  19. I live in Argo real estate one of their Barkley building since 2012. Honestly first 6 Years wasn’t a big issue with them as I wasn’t a parents, so going early at work and coming late home was an everyday schedule . So I didnt even stay all …

  20. Christian Smith is hands down the best, extremely professional, knows his craft and straight to the point. He goes above & beyond to meet your needs and explains every single detail..no guessing games here, highly recommend him and Argo in securing our apartment!

  21. Called the number to discuss the issue with the problem in the building. The receptionist was too lazy to do her job and find me the right person who could resolve the issue. Instead she kept putting me on hold or transfer me to random …

  22. I worked with Charles Kriegel from Argo through 2 coop purchases and he was always nice and respectful. He has a professional approach to the things and he is very quickly to respond. I would recommend working with Charles for everyone!

  27. The Argo team has been so helpful during my hunt for a home in Forest Hills NY. They were responsive, attentive and friendly. Anytime i wanted to view an apartment i was accommodated…no matter the time! I couldn’t recommend them more!

  28. I have never seen such rude and arrogant brokers in my life. Jodi Nath…. I can swear to god I have never seen such a creature on the earth. She made me sure that the unit was available, I gave them 3 certified checks and credit check fee. …

  29. Worst. Management. company. ever. One of the worst decisions i ever made was let them . I am having the worst experience living in a coop they manage. Ive been here for a little over 2 years, and i dread ever having to communicate with …

  30. Argo Real Estate has been extremely helpful when I was searching for apartments. New York City real estate is extremely competitive but they were able to offer me a wide range of prices. I am looking forward to connecting with Argo again and I recommend their company to anyone that is looking to move.

  31. Worst real state company on the face of the earth!!!! Meet with agent to see unit. We loved it. Ask for the requirements and applications. Agent guarantee we would get approved base on our income and credit scores. Then a week later we been …

  35. Argo Real Estate broker Christian Smith was a huge help when I needed a broker. He was very attentive to my needs, professional and personable. He did a great job navigating me though the NYC rental web.

  36. Horrible real estate agents and agency, unprofessionalism, irresponsible, careless. Stay away from them, they will cause you only stress. I leased a place for 2 years, and 4 month before the lease ends I emailed them asking if they can …

  37. I had a positive experience working with Evelyn from Argo Real Estate during my refinance process. She is always kind, responsive and took her time to help me understand the documents my lender required. Evelyn’s patience and quick response time is the biggest reason I closed my loan on time.

  46. Christian Smith really is a cut above the rest, his knowledge, patience and troubleshooting skills in negotiating on my behalf was definitely top shelf!
    The New York City real estate market is daunting enough but Chris lead the way …

  47. Rarely do we do online reviews. But Christian is truly unique, warranting an exception. We recently downsized, selling our suburban home and looking to relocate to the Upper West Side. After meeting a series of agents, who literally wasted …
