“There is probably nothing more stressful than deciding to sell a home, preparing it for sale and going through the process of selling. Jack Isquith and the Harkov Lewis team made the entire experience easy to understand. Further, Jack's level of communication never left me wondering what was happening at any point. From comparative analysis to pricing strategy to helpful recommendations on getting the apartment ready, Jack’s guidance and recommendations gave us confidence that we were dealing with someone who knew the ins and outs of real estate marketing.

We had the apartment sold within 60 days of putting it on the market at a price that we felt was a correct reflection of its value. More importantly, Jack re-qualified the buyers which made everything close smoothly. I would highly recommend Jack and the team to anyone."

- John / Murray Hill

“I've worked with Jack as a prospective buyer, and as a successful seller. Both experiences were extremely positive. Jack is responsive, knowledgeable, fair and an overall treat to work with. He's patient, not pushy, yet keeps things moving. I first connected with Jack a couple years before we eventually worked together. Our initial conversation stood out in my mind as one of the more genuine, down to earth conversations I had ever about real estate. I reached back out when I was finally ready to sell my apartment and search for a new home. Highly recommend working with Jack and his outstanding team.”

- Evelyne / New York

“My partner and I were connected with Jack through Zillow, and we couldn't have been luckier—Jack was the exact right agent for us. As first time homebuyers and relatively new New Yorkers, we needed a lot of help navigating the market. From the very first showing we went to, Jack took the time to explain everything to us in terms we could understand—from co-op rules to negotiation strategy. About a year later, when we were finally ready to put in an offer on a home, Jack partnered with us closely to prepare a package that we felt good about and that would be competitive in a multiple offer situation. Thanks to his expertise, we won. We are so grateful to have had Jack in our corner and can't recommend him highly enough.”

- Mallory / Brooklyn

“I had the great fortune of connecting with Jack back in Oct 2021 during the beginning of my house search! At the time, I was living in Miami whilst looking for my first home in Brooklyn, NY. Properties in Brooklyn were becoming increasingly scarce due to the changing seasons and things were getting extremely competitive. Needless to say, it was also really stressful trying to find a home several thousand miles away from the desired location, but Jack stayed in constant communication throughout the whole process and made my life much easier. He worked quickly and thoroughly in comparing properties and always returned my emails/texts in a timely manner. When I told him I was coming back to NYC for a few days, he always made time for me to show me options!

There were a few bumps along the road (which had nothing to do with him and everything to do with the insane NYC market), but in retrospect, things went really smoothly. Home buying isn't as terrifying as people make it out to be. In the end, Jack was able to help me secure something akin to my dream home in my dream neighborhood in Brooklyn.”

- Ashley / Brooklyn

“Selling our apartment with Jack was terrific. He was articulate in his explanations to us all along the way with concrete rationale and direction for all pricing conversations and deal possibilities. We would recommend Jack and the team at any time."

- Jane / Midtown Manhattan

“From the day our daughter met you, she knew you were absolutely the right agent for her and you came through for her beautifully. You have acted in a professional and yet personal way, that made us feel as though you were acting in the role of a family member in offering her guidance and support in person, as we were unable to be in NY. She was in good hands. We have felt very well taken care of with your knowledge and guidance. Thank you for making this experience, which could have been very stressful, a great one.”

- Lisa / California

"I feel so fortunate to have had Jack manage the sale of my apartment.  From the moment I reached out about possibly selling until well after closing, Jack was indispensable and he made a very stressful time manageable. He was positive, warm, strategic, professional, and above all delivered a great buyer who paid well over my asking price. I can't recommend him highly enough."

- M. Montgomery / New York

"Jack Isquith at Halstead Manhattan was an excellent person to have working with us as first time home buyers. He was there to answer every question that would pop into our (sometimes over-thinking) heads. He added an experienced-based, even-keeled perspective. Jack was also excellent at gently keeping the other members of the home buying process on task. Other than the new apartment, Jack was truly the best thing to come out of our experience."

- Sam / Brooklyn

"I am so happy to have had Jack as my broker. His vast knowledge and experience living and working in New York was invaluable in finding the perfect apartment to call home. He was always mindful of my needs, budget and location requirements during the search and ready with resources and  recommendations for other professionals needed to get to closing. Jack’s patience, kindness and positive outlook never failed. I can’t recommend him highly enough."

- Sandy K.

“This was our first time buying a property and Jack was an exceptional guide during the whole process. Whilst he worked tirelessly to find us the correct properties, it took 10 months from contract to closing (new dev) and during this time Jack provided an above and beyond level of support.”

- Jake G. / Brooklyn

“Jack really listened to me and beyond that he ‘got’ what I was going for. He is personable and very knowledgeable . He’s not the type of agent who tries to talk you into anything but rather he facilitated my processing so that by the end of the day I really knew what kind of apartment and even what kind of neighborhood would best suit me. Looking for apartments can be so very stressful - he is a delight!”

- Lorrie S. / Gowanus

“We had always rented before looking to purchase an apartment so we were quite new to the experience. Throw in having to pass muster with a co-op board and we really felt like we'd been thrown into the deep end. Jack shed great light on how it all worked from getting a mortgage, hiring a lawyer, on through to the final closing. While we looked at many apartments on Zillow and the NY Times sites Jack was the one who ultimately figured out what we wanted and found us the fantastic apartment we now call home.”

- Glenn M. / Harlem

"Jack’s experience and good judgment made our long and arduous process go more smoothly. He was consistently upbeat and very easy to work with. We especially appreciated his patience when we vacillated between different neighborhoods. Jack listened closely to our feedback to truly understand what we wanted and didn’t want in an apartment. At every step in the process he proactively offered valuable guidance and direction and was a reliable resource for our many questions."

- Joel L. / Manhattan

"We are based in San Francisco and needed to find a real estate agent in Manhattan who could both secure a great luxury apartment, and also work long-distance with a corporate client who had lots of unusual needs. Jack's combination of tech literacy, market knowledge, and people skills made the near-impossible, completely possible. I highly recommend him."

- Gabby M. / San Francisco

"Jack provided a great combination of thorough analysis, market knowledge, and attention to detail to my search. He connected me with a very helpful lender, and unearthed great apartments I would not have seen otherwise. I would use him again in a second."

- Joe T. / Manhattan

“I had the pleasure of working Jack who was very knowledgeable about real estate and made the process very easy and efficient. I am so pleased with his work ethic and he was very personable. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy. So happy with his help in finding my dream apartment.”

- Laura C. / Brooklyn

"Jack is both very personable & extremely knowledgeable. He gave us in-depth market and transaction information as we considered our options. We really appreciated Jack's directness and quick responses to our questions. Jack definitely knows the in's & outs of the New York real estate market. He is such a pleasure to work with."

- Jennifer A. / Manhattan

"Jack is warm, dependable, and responsive. He knows Manhattan & Brooklyn like the back of his hand, and was invaluable in getting me a new great apartment."

- Michael W. / Brooklyn

“Early 2019 I met Jack while researching realtors to help define whether or not we should venture into owning a home in NYC. He immediately stood out not only as experienced and knowledgeable but most importantly as a kind human who was up for the challenge and willing to stick by us throughout  what seemed to be the longest year of our lives! Buying in NY is never easy but we have seemed to stumble upon a number of obstacles and Jack was right along supporting us and releasing any pressure from his sales point of view making us comfortable to make any decisions that didn’t fit with our needs. Ultimately, we purchased the right home and the right time and can’t imagine doing it without his help. Hope to work with him again and again.”

-Maira / Brooklyn

“Jack found found the perfect home for my family and made the process of buying for the first time a breeze. From search to close Jack was a stellar partner and team member who went above and beyond.

I'm busier-than-average NYC professional. Going into the search I knew exactly what I was looking for, my budget, and where I wanted to look (Manhattan and Brooklyn). I didn't have time to comb through listings, nor did I really understand all the particulars of buying in NYC. At our first meeting Jack took detailed notes, asked great questions, and made sure he understood the nuance of my family's preferences (including deal breakers + nice to haves vs. need to haves). Then he got to work. Jack sent clear, concise emails + texts with listings he thought would fit the bill and worked with me to refine his search. Because he took such great notes I didn't have to explain anything twice, nor did I waste any time looking at properties that didn't fit the bill. As the search narrowed he was available to answer any question big or small - explaining the difference between a condo and a co-op, why he liked one building, or would steer clear of another - and worked with my hectic schedule. He even managed to charm my mother-in-law (no small feat)!

Once we found the right place - and we fell in love with the property on first sight - Jack took control of the negotiation, getting us a fair price well below what we expected to pay for the property. Then, he whipped out his Rolodex connecting us with the respected professionals needed to close the deal: building inspectors, attorneys, executives at major banks to help us secure a mortgage. That's the typical process. But, our case wasn't typical. Jack helped us find this home during the pandemic while my wife was pregnant with our first child. Jack stayed in touch not just about our search, but also about the pregnancy. When we were getting ready to go into contract my wife went into labor. Things didn't go exactly as expected at the hospital and mom needed to stay under close observation. I was able to step back 100% from our real estate responsibilities while Jack kept everyone involved calm and informed. I'm certain this deal would have fallen apart if it were not for Jack's diligence and demeanor. We highly recommend Jack's services finding a new home!”
