how to help a needy New Yorker rent an apartment in Brooklyn! They worked tirelessly, diligently, and they never ever stopped or gave up. Great to have on your side, especially if you're knee-deep in deadlocked negotiations with the landlord.

we are truly grateful to the gods of real estate renting for people like erik. he's amazing - he helped us incredibly during the entire process. we needed moderate hand holding, and erik went out of his way to ensure we were completely happy with his, and his agents' service. thank you, we'll think of you when we decide to buy in brooklyn!

My experience with Erik can be summarized as simply incredible. Erik helped us find the PUUURFECT no fee apartment in Brooklyn! And our landlord even accepted our two cats, despite their original unwillingness to accept pets. Erik's negotiation skills are fantastic. He worked for us diligently, and left at no stone unturned... We truly appreciate your honesty and efforts, Erik! My wife has already recommended your office's services to two of her acquaintances. Great job. Thanks!

Erik is one of the most professional brokers I have ever met. He has been handling my management firm's 67 units for over two years now - and we have NEVER had a single vacancy! Granted, all of our apartments are in desirable areas of Park Slope and Windsor Terrace; but even so. The amount of work Erik and his team do for us is astounding, and it always translates to great results and an even better bottom line.

My daughter and I went back and forth between six different agents from Park Slope's brokerage firms. None were more helpful, more knowledgeable, or more friendly than Erik. What a breath of fresh air in the stale broker community! Thanks for helping us find the best apartment ever, Erik! And of course, thanks for saving us nearly $3,400 in the process.... Cordially, Joanna Rodriguez

We just rented our first apartment ever in Fort Greene in Brooklyn! It's wonderful, and had there not been for Erik and Ideal Properties Group we wouldn't have even known of this fantastic neighborhood. Forever grateful, TwoManhattanites

I'm running out of superlatives and positive adjectives. I just moved into my STUNNINGLY beautiful, $5,000 2-bedroom carriage house apartment in Carroll Gardens. Thank you Ideal Properties, and thank you Erik for making it possible for us to get the best possible living space for our money!

Eric was extremely helpful! We were going in circles trying to find a good deal on a condo in Fort Greene. It took a while, and a lot of going back and fort, but we made it. Thanks to you, Eric. Good luck in the future, and we'll send lots of friends your way!

I am yet to meet a more professional, more helpful, and more personable agent. A true ****et to his profession! We rented a gorgeous 2 bedroom--and the process was even enjoyable! Our building manager rocks, too!

The guy is a typical pushy real estate broker, which is ok. But he also lied to our faces, which is not ok.

Erik showed us a number of apartments in Park Slope, Brooklyn during the fall 2007. His expertise was astonishing--I truly believe there is absolutely nothing Mr. Serras wouldn't know about this area! He made the process a breeze, and for a moment... I forgot how bad of a reputation real estate brokers have! Honest, knowledgeable, highly recommended!
