Is the first estimate free?
Many agents offer a non-binding initial estimate. Ask beforehand whether any costs apply.

Editorial context
Working with a provider in New York – what matters
When choosing a real estate broker in New York, prospective clients should first establish whether the firm's work matches their needs: renting, buying and selling involve different processes and documentation. Mayell lists all three activities on its website, but the supplied client reviews mainly concern rental searches. Those reviews therefore do not provide an equivalent basis for assessing its purchase or sales services.
A defined budget, preferred neighborhoods, space requirements and move-in date provide useful starting points for an apartment search. Since Mayell presents both New York and South Florida locations, inquiries should explicitly identify the target area. Clients should also ask who will handle their search and how viewings, updates and application documents will be coordinated. Anyone moving internationally or from another US state should discuss scheduling and procedures early.
The advertised concierge services make it important to clarify the scope of the engagement. Clients should confirm which transportation services, neighborhood visits and other offerings are available for their particular search, and whether costs arise outside those services. Complimentary transportation to viewings does not automatically mean the entire brokerage service is free. Likewise, one review's reference to no-fee listings is not a general commitment about fees. Before engaging a broker, it is advisable to document the services, compensation and responsibilities in writing. The Google rating can offer additional perspective, but does not replace an assessment of the specific proposal.

Benny and the Mayell Team are the absolute best! They made the entire apartment search and application process so easy and seamless, and helped us secure a great apartment that we’re so excited about. Benny was incredibly helpful, responsive, and great to work with throughout the whole process. We’re super appreciative of everything they did for us and couldn’t recommend them more!
I had a wonderful experience working with Grace during my apartment search in New York. As someone moving internationally, the process felt overwhelming at times, but Grace was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful throughout. She took the time to answer my many questions, coordinated viewings, followed up consistently, and guided me through every step of the application and lease process. What I appreciated most was how proactive she was and how available she remained, even when dealing with tight timelines and last-minute changes. Thanks to her help, I found an apartment that I’m truly excited about. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated real estate broker. Thank you again, Grace!
Mercedes was a pleasure to work with throughout my apartment search in New York City. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and consistently advocated for me throughout the entire leasing process. Her persistence and attention to detail helped navigate a competitive market and ultimately secure my apartment. I truly appreciated having someone who was proactive, communicative, and committed to getting everything across the finish line. I’m very grateful for her guidance and support, and I would highly recommend Mercedes to anyone looking for living accommodations in NYC.
Mike was awesome! He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire apartment search process and was always extremely responsive. He made the process so much easier and was great to work with. I would definitely recommend him to any friends or family in the future!
Kiran was super helpful with helping me and my wife find a good apartment within our budget. She scheduled multiple tours of no-fee listings with apartments that had the right amount of space. Since my wife and I were moving from out of state, her insight into the types of neighborhoods we wanted was definitely helpful. Overall, she made the hectic experience of apartment-hunting in NYC much easier. Definitely recommend!

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
