I am the Landlord of a co-op apartment in Astoria and had taken on the daunting task of renting my apt on my own in years past. This year, due to Jury Duty and weekends away to assist family, I decided to use the services of a local broker to assist me. I am so glad I found PETER and ZIKOS REALTY! I did a lot of research online before narrowing my list down to a few brokers, and walked into ZIKOS without an appointment, just to "touch base" and inquire about the broker-landlord process. PETER was so patient with my questions, and so knowledgeable about the rental market in Astoria, I decided right then and there to give ZIKOS the exclusive listing and handed over the keys. I can't begin to describe the incredible professional services they offered, including extraordinary advertising on all different types of realty websites and most importantly, screening and qualifying potential tenants, and then scheduling showings of the apartment. And I am so happy with the new Tenants! A professional working couple that also chose Peter as their broker to help with their search. I will never again attempt to rent the apartment on my own! The next time and future forward, I would only use PETER and ZIKOS REALTY. He rented the apartment for me, to the perfect tenants, in less than 8 days. What else can I say, but WOW. I am incredibly impressed. I highly recommend their simply exceptional service to both Landlords and Tenants. Cheers, from Diane & Joe Diane B.
Moving can be stressful and we all know that , but sometime we need help , help that feels like help . Everybody at Zikos Realty really are there for you . We had to move within 5 days , We worked with Peter . He ask a couple of questions and then called me that day within a hour of so . " I have some places for you to look at " I went and I found the one I loved that day and sign the lease the fellowing day . So I had 5days to move and it only took two thanks to Peter and the entire staff at Zikos Realty for the effort and time put in to make it the most easiest transition and stressfeel experience I have every had in NYC - strongly recommendTommy O.
i worked with thiago pinto and he made the daunting task of finding an apartment in nyc so easy. coming in from out of town, i scheduled 3 weeks to find a place but within three days of arriving thiago had found me a great deal in astoria, lease was signed, and keys in my hand.
i didn't think it was possible to find a place that was newly renovated, all utilities included, close to steinway, with outdoor space, and with its own parking for such a price. i was looking at properties through other brokers within the same range that didn't come close to these perks. he spent time ensuring i understood everything, patiently answered all questions, helped explain any concerns i had to the landlord.
i also liked that he refuses to show apartments with pest problems, unresponsive supers, or landlords with bad reputations. should i move again within astoria, i will be turning to thiago for help once more. Tasmia A.
I had a terrific experience with Peter Z. at Zikos Realty. He was super present and responsive, and replied to all my texts with lightning speed.
I got a great apartment in Williamsburg, and have no complaints. Isabelle R.
Really great customer service from start to finish! Thiago was very responsive from the very beginning. Maintains communication, times himself well and listens well.Sandra G.
Thanks so much Thiago for helping us find our perfect new home! You went above and beyond to show us places that had everything we were looking for and we even ended up being BELOW our budget! We worked with multiple realtors throughout the process but Thiago was hands down the best one we found.Lauren P.
Peter said he would show us the best apartments in Astoria and WOW he was right! The quality of units that Zikos showed us was head and shoulders above what we had seen. Super nice, accommodating and efficient. If you're looking to rent is Astoria, this is the best place to do it through! Risky B.
Thiago was incredibly welcoming, honest and easy to work with and was never overly "pushy" about the places he showed us. Everything apartment he showed us could have worked for us but he also knew exactly when a spark caught our eyes and immediately made moves to help us lock in our first apartment. Sitting down with him and Peter was like sitting down with friends (we really just talked for awhile about our neighborhood) and I would strongly recommend putting your trust in those two to be available, comfortable and helpful in your apartment search.

I've been looking for apartment in Astoria for a while and haven't really found anything. I was contacted by Thiago and i immediately knew that he was going to save me. Thiago is extremely responsive and helped me in any way possible to close the deal with the landlord. Hands down, Thiago & Peter is the best Realty Group i ever worked with. Thanks guys! Henry L.
I worked with Thiago almost exactly a year ago to secure a place in Astoria. My husband and I were looking to move back to the area as we were experiencing a terrible living situation in Sunnyside and had had enough. We were anxious to find a great place and move out FAST. Thiago responded to my request to see an apartment within a few hours and even worked with me to help me see the apartment that same night. He knew the place would be in demand and he arranged for my husband and I to come by the next day so we could meet and chat. Thiago listened to what we wanted and knew that this apartment was exactly what we needed (quiet!). He was very transparent about the location as it is 10 blocks from the train but we expressed that is exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel like we were in a real neighborhood. My husband was a student and I had just graduated with my masters degree and had a fair amount of student loans which was concerning to the owner. Thiago really advocated for us and said we were nice people who he believed would be great tenants. I have never seen a broker work so hard for a young couple and I recommend any young couple who may be struggling to pass the ridiculously strict requirements to rent an apartment just because they decided to get an education go see Thiago and Zikos Realty. We are happy in our apartment and have had zero problems for a year and we intend to stay here for as long as the landlord will have us! If we do decide to move we will not hesitate to contact Thiago!Audra C.
