TESTIMONIALS

“Professionalism, integrity and trust are the words that come to mind when I think of Bondee. I know they care about my business and don’t view me as ‘just’ a tenant. If only every landlord was like them…”

Michael Hoover Franchisee
Five Guys Burgers & Fries

“These are true ‘boots on the ground’ developers who are keyed into not just the overall project but the smaller details as well. As the architect on the Arista 35 building in Astoria, Queens, I can honestly say that it’s a pleasure working with them and we have a great mutual respect. It truly is rare for a developer to understand the architect and builder’s perspective so well.”

“As a condominium owner, as well as a founding (former) Board member, at Arista 35 in Astoria, Queens, I can attest that Bondee delivered more than they promised.  The process of purchasing went smoothly and was a much more positive experience than I ever expected. Further, the building was constructed with an extreme attention to detail, which has since given me the confidence to own the unit for a long time to come. They also own the management company and remained onsite assuring that everything was handled right down to the smallest detail.  Our Board meetings were really social gatherings since there was so little to address regarding the building.”

“Working with the Bondee Group is quite a unique experience. They have been making my job easier for twenty years since they are always accessible and have rapid response times. They know how to troubleshoot and find solutions when issues occur. I appreciate their professionalism.”

Bob Mozilo Elite Management, Inc.

“As a first time homebuyer back in 2010, I was surprised to meet the builder of Arista 35 at the closing. Ron was so personable and helpful with all of questions I had. Now that I have been President of the Board for five years, I can attest to the fact that Bondee Properties is extremely responsive, whether by phone or by email- and quite reasonable when it comes to requests and recommendations the Board makes during our quarterly meetings.”

Christian Errico Board President
Arista 35 Condominiums

“I appreciate working with Bondee Properties since they are loyal, sincere ‘straight shooters’ who do what they say they will do. When commercial and retail tenants remain at a property for five years or more, it’s proof that they are good landlords. I also had the pleasure of representing Arista 35 when the units were originally sold. Even though it was an extremely tough market because of the recession, the units sold out because prospective owners could see the quality and care that was put into what they were planning to purchase.”
