Russell is a fantastic broker to work with! He is communicative, resourceful, and extremely easy to work with. He was also empathetic toward our budget. He helped us find an amazing apartment with a difficult budget and high expectations. We got to stay in the area we wanted rather than somewhere we didn't want just for the price.

Would highly recommend Russell to help you find your next apartment! Will definitely work with him the next time we need to move.

Russell was a huge help at every stage of the process. He helped us to move quickly and secure a dream apartment in a very competitive neighborhood. Even after signing, Russell was available to assist us with any questions. Highly recommend Red Sparrow Realty!

Stephen is the best. Was super attentive to my apartment wants and extremely responsive. Helped me get a great apartment for a good price in just a couple day! Devin and the rest of the team at Red Sparrow were incredibly helpful leading up to touring apartments as well.

Devin is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with, bar none. The NYC real estate market is extremely difficult to navigate, and I was admittedly unprepared when I moved here for a new job. I tried everything I could to find a place on my own to no avail. I was feeling hopeless and discouraged until I connected with Devin. The knowledge, professionalism, patience, and compassion Devin brought to the table was a game changer for my search. He was honest, realistic, and communicative at every turn and did everything in his power to find me an apartment within my criteria. He is a true professional with a deep working knowledge of the city and market; his expertise and experience consistently shines through. He showed me the best of what the city has to offer and gave my search genuine care and attention. It is evident how important his clients are to him, and how much he cares about getting them into a great apartment that will suit their needs. I am so grateful for Devin and look forward to working with him again in the future - he is definitely my go-to agent! I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I can''t recommend Devin Lynch and his team enough. I was looking for an apartment to rent in nyc, and I''d only previously rented in new jersey at the time. With the best places'' rapid turnover from online listing to showing to signing, the competition between renters for places, the need to weed through some landlords'' misleading advertising, and the nuances of rent stabilization schemes, the nyc rental market is a beast no one should handle on their own if they don''t have to unless they want to end up in an overpriced dump. Devin educated me on the process months in advance, told me what to expect online, and helped me develop a plan of action for when the time would come to lock down a place. Without his guidance, I would not have gotten started as early as I did, and I might not have found the killer deal I have. He responded to all communications professionally and promptly and honestly just looked out for me as a client - qualities it turns out are not so easy to come by in this scene. Again, I can''t recommend Devin Lynch''s team enough. I don''t write a lot of reviews, but he truly deserves your business. I couldn''t be happier with the place I''m living in now.

It was a pleasure to work with Devin Lynch & his team. He was extremely knowledgable, pleasant, and well-prepared, as was the rest of his team. Finding an apartment in NYC was challenging, as I was out of town, the market was unfamiliar to me, and I had a limited idea of good values/options/timeframes. Every lease had differing requirements, and there seemed to be an unspoken set of requirements that it felt like I wasn''t catching on to.

Devin helped me streamline my application by having all my materials on hand beforehand. He spoke with me multiple times and had a methodical approach, taking the time to understand my non-negotiables and having straightforward conversations with me regarding options. He reliably reached out with options and reminders. It really seemed like he and his team wanted a good fit for me, not just to get me signed somewhere.

As a young woman new to the city, safety was of utmost importance to me. What was unique about working with Devin was that I felt he really took the time to understand this. As such, when he offered me options I truly felt I was able to trust his judgment.

Ultimately, the combination of 10+ years of experience in the market, in-depth knowledge of apartments in the city, and an extreme dedication/understanding to the client''s needs is an extremely effective combination. I would recommend Devin Lynch & his team without reservation.

Devin Lynch truly made my stressful experience of finding an apartment easy! I was having the hardest time finding an apartment with the amenities I wanted for the price I needed and he found it all! He was reassuring and confident and helped me find the perfect place for me that actually exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Devin and his team highly enough!

Working with Devin Lynch and his team was unlike any real estate experience I’ve had in the past. With previous apartment searches, I’ve been plagued with the thought of knowing there might be something better out there, but not knowing how to find it. With Devin, I didn’t feel that because we had really frank conversations about the market and our search parameters. We felt free to make the decision to rent our apartment
because we knew what was out there. We trusted that we had seen the best of the best. And we were ready to move forward.

Devin Lynch has always been incredible to work with. A long-time New Yorker and broker, he laid out a search process that made me feel comfortable, explained how the system works so as to save us both time and effort, and found me an awesome apartment on a budget, in a tight market.

Oftentimes you don''t know until months later whether or not the place you rent is actually what you expected. Devin did an awesome job setting my expectations correctly, and my apartment ended up exceeding my expectations.

He took the time to understand my needs - where I work, what I wanted my commute to be like, what kind of neighborhood feel I like, etc. and I genuinely feel he cut the time it took to find the best possible apartment for me in more than half. I attribute a lot of the success I''ve had professionally to the environment I lived in during that period.

I''d recommend working with him without reservation. He will save you time, money and trouble down the line with landlords and property managers that can be a nuisance.
