Exit Kingdom Realty

Our experience with Mr. Kenneth Liu in Exit Kingdom Realty was an extremely pleasant one. In fact, we could not have asked for a better agent. He not only helped us find and purchase our coop, but he was also very accommodating with our schedules during the search. Due to my wife’s and mine busy schedules, Mr. Liu had to be quite flexible and patient in regards to the times we could meet. Mr. Liu’s exemplary work ethic and his ability to treat his clients with respect led us to finding the perfect coop match for us. After our purchase, he even went out of his way to follow up on all of our paper work. We didn’t think purchasing a co-​op was this easy but with his help, it certainly made a difference. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a new place.

I give Bella Yadgarov from Exit Kingdom Realty 5 stars. A few months ago I met Bella. She responded to my request for information on a rental I was interested in. Despite not being what I wanted, Bella kept taking me to see listing, after another. Bella always had a smile to greet me. She’s professional, knowledgeable and kept me on my toes. Because of her, I’m moving into a beautiful one bedroom apartment, within the coming week. For anyone who maybe hesitant to use this Realty, rest assured, you will be taken care of very well. Visit the site or call and ask for Bella. I’m sure glad she responded. This one is for you Bella Yadgarov… You Rock. Thank you. Visit Bella @

I worked with Lisa Grassia to find my apt, and she made it a stress-​free smooth process. Not only was she professional and knowledgable, but she cared and put my needs first. She negotiated the price and lease terms and when the deal was done, she was still a quick phone call away to help me work out my final kinks and hiccups. I recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a new home, she makes it feel like you are working with a friend not just an agent!!!

Exit kingdom is made up of misleading people. I worked with Israel he was great in the beginning but turned out to be misleading as the deal got closer to closing. He called me, left me messages to keep pushing me to close and didn’t acted as a buyer s agent at all. Please don’t use him as a buyer’s agent because he could care about what you want or negotiate on your behalf.

SHAME ON YOU, Linda Tran, for discriminating against Veterans! We requested to see an apt in Forest Hills. Linda showed us the apt, learned we were using the VA loan (earned & paid for while serving time for our country), frowned, & scooted us out the door. She failed to tell us there were actually two other apts available at that time in the same building within our budget. Then was completely humiliating & unprofessional when she saw us w/​another realtor showing us those other two apts a few days later. We saw her grab our realtor by the arm, tell him to NOT work with us b/​c were using the VA loan which requires no money down from the veteran. She shook her head «no» w/​a hand to throat motion to cut us off. UNREAL. Our soldiers put their lives on the line & this is how you treat them!!! If you support our soldiers, don’t support Exit Realty unless they remove Linda Tran from representing them. Thank you.

These guys have helped me purchase as well as sell my coop within the last couple of years. They’re always on top of everything to make the process as painless as possible. Wish you guys dealt with jersey too because we are looking for a place there.

I was referred to Erica Rose Siegel by a friend that had worked with her in the past. I own, and wanted to sublet, my Manhattan coop apartment. I was looking for a real estate professional to find suitable tenants and manage the extensive application required by the management company. Erica is based in Queens and suggested that, although she is not an expert in my market, she would find one for me – and that she did!
Erica referred me to a colleague who is based in Manhattan and an expert (and former resident) of the UWS. His knowledge of the area and the real estate market here was just what I needed. Erica’s referral found a wonderful couple to rent my apartment and he took care of the entire application process, making sure the application was filled out completely and following-​up with the management company to move the process along. All the while Erica checked in periodically to make sure that I was satisfied with the service that I was getting and offering any possible assistance.
Whether I’m looking to buy, rent, sell or refer a friend, Erica will be my first stop for ALL future real estate transactions!

Let’s just said our experience with Mr. Yan Sun was the most unprofessional and unpleasant experience we’ve ever had to deal with a professional like a realtor. Generally I understand how business work and how money is a drive to people, but it seemed like Mr. Yan Sun was just after the money and not really working with us.
I have had one year of living in NYC and my fiancé had just moved to the city so we decided to look for a studio since it’s within our price range. We saw a couple of listings by Mr. Yan Sun and thought that he might be resourceful so we began the business with him.
Let me just said in some points:
1. He was extremely late (1−2hrs) to our first appointment. He never showed again with our second and third appointments and made us sneak into apt and waited for superintendent for 1 – 2 hrs in order to do so.
2. He kept on breaking our price range and kept on misleading us on the rent price in NYC. Our original price range was from 1000 – 1200 for a studio. In the end he showed us studios that were $ 1400+.
3. We have applied for a couple of studios that we liked and fitted our price ranged. We had to call him consistently for the application and made sure he submitted the applications, which we believed he never did so that he could show us studios that are more expensive. We have applied to 4 – 5 studios with him and all of them, he reportedly, were taken. Then we called him after that, he never picked up or return our phone call.
4. During the only time we met with him, which was the first time, he was on his phone consistently and made us feel like crap since we were not making loads of money and were only looking for studios with a low price range. He told us that he would give seminar sessions in colleges and universities, but come on… really? With that kind of professionalism? I don’t think he’s even good at his job how can he give others advices?
5. He was the first agent we dealt with in NYC and after a month or so dealing with him, we never got an actual apt and wasted that month of time and continues our apt hunting.
6. I would never recommend him.

He was unprofessional, didn’t even show up to the appointment he agreed to. Read below for details.
t found Yan Sun on RentHop and I think he may have been listed on Naked Apts as well.
He made me and two other girls that I am looking for an apt with agree to meet with him on a Friday with paperwork ready. I confirmed with him via text, email and phone that he would meet us there and asked him each time if the apt allows dogs because one of us has a dog.
We show up a little bit early and I give him a call to see if he can meet us a bit earlier — he answers and asks me why the superintendent can’t just show us the apartment. I immediately asked him, what are we paying you for? You’re supposed to be the mediator, if we have questions you need to be here and you agreed to walk us through the apartment. After telling him how frustrated I was and him telling me that there really is no need for him to be there, we ring the doorbell for the superintendent, who immediately sees the dog and asks us to leave.
Not only did he not check the details of this apartment to see if it was compatible with us, he made us come prepared with pow and didn’t even show up to the appointment he agreed to.

Words cannot express our gratitude for the help we received from Erica Rose Siegel from Exit Kingdom Realty in purchasing our very first home. She is the most hard-​working, dedicated and professional Realtor you could ever find. It took my husband and I over a year to find our home. Throughout the entire time working with Erica, she gave 200% effort and did more than any other real estate agent we had worked with previously. I can definitely see why she was referred to us!
A little background to our journey as first time homeowners as we had a VERY rough time and almost gave up. We made an initial offer on a 2-​bedroom co-​op and we were under the impression that it was accepted. We brought our whole family along (four additional people) and our dog only to find out from the seller that the listing agent actually misled all of us into believing our offer was accepted. We were devastated but Erica pushed us and encouraged us not to give up.
She knew that we had a very limited since very few buildings would accept a fifty-​pound dog. Erica knew that Winna, our dog was part of our family and we would not move without her.
She showed us many more places and even hand delivered over 200 letters in the building were we now own our home because she knew that we really liked the building and the building like Winna. If we did not have Erica’s hard work and positive attitude, I guarantee we would not own our home now.
When we were ready to make an offer, she researched thoroughly the average sales, the building history and helped us write a letter to the seller. She presented our offer via conference call to the seller so as to make a personal connection between the previous homeowners’ and us, which was a HUGE help with the negotiation process. Besides her extra efforts, she has an amazing team to guide you through from accepted offer to the time of closing and beyond.
Through the whole process, we did not just accomplish owning our first home; we also made a friend and best Realtor for life! We would recommend Erica to all our friends and family~
The Zeshans

I’m testifying that Erica Roe Siegel of Exit Kingdom Realty has done an excellent job for me in helping me sell my old apartment as well as the purchasing of my new one during April 2010. She has worked diligently and given me reliable advice and information about the housing market. She has not only delivered in her promise to me, but also done so in a fast and efficient manner.
I first met Erica many years ago when my close friend was looking for an apartment. After Erica showed my friend approximately 10 apartments, he decided not to buy since the timing wasn’t right. My friend reached out to Erica a year later asked to see more apartments. It turns out, Erica was able to find the perfect home for my friend. Throughout this one year, Erica showed a lot of persistence and hard work by keeping in touch with my friend to check in every now and then. I noticed that Erica has a great attitude, she works hard and smart, and never gives in to defeat or difficulties.
There are many, many real estate agents and brokers out there who’ll promise you amazing results, but once they have you believing them, they’ll slowly turn back on their words. In the case with Erica, she will give you realistic outlooks which may not be the stellar results you hoped for. But you’ll realize that in an economy like ours right now, what Erica is telling you is likely the situation in the real estate market. So, I saw that and prefer to work with Erica and not waste any time with other agents. I found my dream apartment back in April 2010, but I did not have enougfh funds to purchase it, and it was highly contingent on me selling my previous aprtment first. Erica came over to assess my apartment and understood my predicament. We put my apartment on sale and was able to sell it within the month at record time. This allowed me to use the funds to make the offer on my dream aprtment just in time before other buyers were ab le to make offers.
Thinking back, I owe a lot of my happiness to Erica. Since then, we’ve stayed in touch and this fall she has also accepted to join me on my special wedding day!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Erica on the purchase of my first home (2 bdrm coop in Auburndale area). Erica and her closing team made the process as easy as possible– they held my hand the whole way through what can be a very overwhelming process, especially for a first time buyer. She listened closely to my likes and dislikes during the search, was agressive in getting my offer in front of the seller, ensured negotiations went smoothly (securing a price well below what I expected I would have to pay) and was actively involved during the whole closing process. I highly recommend working with her!

Yan Sun was extremely unprofessional. I called about an apartment I had seen on RentHop and we made an appointment to see it. He told me he would text me the address right away and never did so the next day I called him back and he gave the address to me over the phone. However, when I looked at the original ad I realized that the apartments were in two completely different areas. I called him back, thinking there had been a mistake and he’d given me the wrong address and he said the apartment had been rented. When I asked about the other one, he told me it was a 2 bedroom, not a 3 bedroom like we were looking for. This was an hour before we were set to view it.
He never called to cancel the appointment and it was only after calling several times that I finally got a hold of him. One of my roommates took the day off of work to look at the apartment. Overall, the whole experience was unprofessional and a complete waste of time.

If I had to pick one word to describe Vincent Koo, Broker/​Owner of Exit Kingdom Realty and Exit Realty Landmark, it would be COMMITTED. Vincent is committed to getting the most and the best out of every agent he hires and will do everything in his power to support them. I can personally attest to this and I am forever grateful for him.
Vincent is committed to making sure that his offices have the best possible training along with the most talented and hardworking support staff. At closings I have had agents from other companies as well buyers, sellers, loan officers and attorneys have praised me on how organized and efficient we operate our office. Vincent is committed to seeing every transaction to the finish line and finding a solution to every problem we encounter. I truly appreciate this. Vincent is committed to listening, learning and growing both personally and professionally.
This wisdom is passed down to every one he comes in contact with. It is honor to work with someone as committed as Vincent and I can assure you, Vincent Koo, I am committed to you and all of Exit Realty!
Erica Rose Siegel CBR EXIT Kingdom Realty

I’m unsure about the negative reviews on Exit Kingdom Realty. My recent experience has been wonderful. I can’t even thank Mr. Yan Sun enough to help me get my very first apartment in New York. Yan is a patient, honest and reliable real estate agent.
Exactly a month ago, I got the good news for my new job in New York. My new employer gave me 4 weeks to relocate from Chicago to New York. I tried so many real estate agents. None of them bothered to return emails and phone calls, after receiving some of my sensitive financial documents! It’s not like I don’t have anything to proof my sufficient income!
Yan was the one who responded to my inquiries seriously and advised me on the apartment hunting. I took his advice and flew out to New York on ⁰⁸⁄₀₃. Right after I got off the plane, Yan and I met up in Flushing, NY to see the first apartment. In that whole afternoon, Yan showed me a total of 6 apartments in Flushing, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Briarwood and Jamaica. I found 3 of them that met my criteria. I filled out an application for 3 apartments and waited for him to handle the rest. One thing that people need to understand is that real estate agents may work on multiple clients at one time, especially when the clients are looking for rentals. It didn’t bother me when Yan had to answer calls from different clients. When he helped me, he put in his entire effort to assist me. That’s all that matters. On 08/​09, I heard the good news from Yan on 2 of the apartments I applied for. I flew out to New York the next day and signed the lease. Even after everything was settled, Yan called me and followed up on me.
My only discontent was about giving me a formal receipt immediately after signing the lease. I had to explain to him that my new company might not reimburse me for the broker fee if I did not get an official receipt from him. Later that same afternoon, Yan took care of the receipt issue for me. That became the reason why I rated him 4 stars, instead of 5. If I could, I would give him 4.5 stars.

Mr. Yan Sun is so unprofessional.
DO NOT work with Mr. Yan Sun. He will WASTE your TIME, and MONEY!
He failed to inform me in a timely manner that the apartment i made an appointment for is already rented. I came on time and waited for the landlord in the rain only to find out that there’s no apartment to see. PLUS I am supposed to pay him (a month’s rent broker’s fee) when he was never around. He will give you the full address and let you wait for someone to open the gate so you can sneak in and check out the unlocked apartment yourself. Great.
Apartment Hunting Continues…

Lily was extremely helpful in the sale of my coop. She listed it at a realistic selling price which drew in tons of showings and a few offers. She was diligent, patient and extremely knowledgeable. She always replied to emails within the hour!
We are currently working with Susan for a purchase of our house and she has also been wonderful. We went to view a lot of places before deciding on this house (she was always very patient and very willing to meet us on wknds when we were free, etc.) and i know Susan had to do a lot of behind the scenes work with the seller’s agent (who’s a pain in the A$$! btw) so we’re very grateful to her. She shows that she has our best interests at heart and not in it just for commission.
We would HIGHLY recommend Exit for someone who’s selling or buying a place!

Couldn’t have had a better apartment searching experience than I had with Erica Rose Siegel. I had dealt with unprofessional realtors before I finally got in touch with Erica who helped me get the apartment I am in now and am VERY happy with the arrangement.
A good realtor does not make a client feel pressured, continuously follows up, reassures you when things seem bleak, and listens. Erica is all of these things and more. At a time when I was in a rush to move and needed a place I’d be happy with she followed up with me everyday, answered my questions, maintained patience when I was flustered, and always provided full disclosure on what was going on behind the scenes as we waited to hear back from management companies and landlords. She was always on time for appointments if not early and maintained not just a politeness but good energy and a kind, helpful demeanor throughout the searching process and the final signing.
Erica maintains contact to make sure I’m happy with where I am and offers help in anyway she can from a referral, to advice, to a name for a good deal for a bed. I implore anyone on the search for an apartment or a home to contact Erica and I assure you you will have a very pleasant homehunting experience.

Very professional and reliable. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I purchased my first home last year but thanks to my agent, the experience was smooth, simple and hassle-​free! She kept me in the loop every step of the way and I felt very comfortable trusting her judgments when I was unsure of something.
I would highly recommend them to any first time home buyers such as myself or to any home buyers looking for professional and quality service.

The realtors who submit their bids to be our realtors upon our announcement to sell our apartment in 2007 were extremely too eager. Eagerness is not always a good thing as they were extremely too pushy in their sales tactics and rather sneaky. After my former love and I interviewed a handful of realtors for the position, we jointly decided to choose another realty company and kindly refused Exit Kingdom Realty Corporation. A week later Exit Kingdom Realty Corporation phone us despite our telephone rejection that they found eager prospective buyers who will buy our cooperative apartment when we already registered with a competitor realtor. They were extremely presistent to put their bids in becoming your realtor despite not listening to your needs and our rejection. Exit Kingdom Realty Corporation does NOT listen to your needs!
Exit Kingdom Realty Corporation also do NOT specialize in cooperative apartments. They are NOT knowledgeable with the operations of cooperative apartments with the shareholders vs. cooperative board. They are NOT fully aware of the forbiddance of hosting a Open House for buying or selling a cooperative. In fact Exit Kingdom Realty Corporation was willing to host one AGAINST our cooperative board’s by-​laws!
I would never recommend Exit Kingdom Realty Corporation for couples who are starting their lives with a cooperative.
