In a city where the best homes often trade quietly, access is everything. At AKN, we tap into a network of on- and off-market opportunities and pair it with sharp insight and a highly curated eye. We don’t just track the market—we know how to spot the ones worth your time, especially the rare spaces with character and charm that tend to fly under the radar.

We align your timing with the rhythms of inventory release, bring you into the conversation early, and help you move strategically. Whether you’re weeks out or just starting to explore, we make sure you’re seeing the right properties first—before the rest of the market catches up.

The NYC market moves fast, but a little planning makes all the difference. We bring strategy to every stage of your search—aligning the process around your timing, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you’re buying next month or just starting to explore, we map out a clear plan to keep things focused and efficient.

We cut through the noise, curate homes that actually match your taste, and schedule showings that work on your time. No wasted afternoons. No guesswork. Behind the scenes, we handle the details so you can stay clear-headed.

From financial prep to deal timelines, we help you move with clarity and control—so when the right home appears, you’re ready. And when it’s time to make your move, we take care of the logistics, paperwork, and everything in between to get it done right.

We don’t just show listings—we find the spaces that feel like New York. Lofts with history, brownstones with soul, prewars that wear their age well. The kinds of homes that carry the city’s energy in their bones—gritty, beautiful, and full of character.

We work across all types of properties, but our focus is the unique, design-forward homes that stand out from the rest. Spaces with intention. Layouts with personality.

We know where these properties are, how to find them before they’re widely seen, and what makes them truly valuable. Whether it’s tucked on a quiet West Village block or sitting above a cobblestone street in Tribeca, we’re here to lead you to the kind of home that doesn’t just work—but feels right.

If you’re looking for something rare, something that speaks to you the second you step inside—we’re the ones you want in your corner.

Most people only see a fraction of what’s really out there. At AKN, we give you access to the full picture—on-market, off-market, and everything in between. But access is just the starting point.

What sets us apart is knowing which properties are actually worth your time. We cut through the noise to bring you homes with real potential—whether it’s a smart deal, a rare layout, or a space with that undeniable New York energy. From lofts and brownstones to refined prewars and standout new builds, we know where to look—and how to get you in.

If it’s worth seeing, we’ll find it. If it’s not, we won’t waste your time.

Finding the right home is only half the equation—knowing what it’s really worth is the other. We don’t sell properties. We find the one you’re excited to call home—and we make sure you’re getting real value in the process.

We break down the market in a way that actually matters: what’s moving, what’s sitting, and where the smart value is hiding. We study pricing patterns, read between the lines of recent comps, and track shifts across neighborhoods and buildings.

Whether it’s a just-listed loft or a quietly available brownstone, we give you the context to know when to move—and what to offer. This isn’t about chasing deals. It’s about making informed, strategic decisions that get you the right home at the right price.

Whether you’re renting or buying, getting the right place in NYC often comes down to how well you’re represented. At AKN, we go all in for our clients—from structuring strong offers to knowing how and when to push. We don’t just submit and hope. We advocate, negotiate, and make sure you’re positioned to win.

We know how the system works and how to work it in your favor. That means understanding what sellers, landlords, and boards actually care about—and making sure your offer or application hits the mark. If something needs to move, we move it. If something’s in the way, we find another angle.

We’re here to protect your interests, fight for the best outcome, and make the whole process feel a lot less impossible.

We handle it for you. From organizing documents to preparing your application and submitting it properly, we make sure everything is complete, clean, and on time. Whether you’re renting or buying, we know what boards, landlords, and managing agents look for—and we present you in the best possible light.

Most people don’t realize that in NYC, if your offer isn’t submitted quickly and correctly, you can lose the property—no matter how qualified you are. The paperwork here isn’t just a formality; it’s part of the deal.

Board packages, condo applications, income statements, reference letters—it adds up fast. And one small mistake can slow everything down.

No missed details. No stress. Just a smooth process from start to finish.

Just because the deal is done doesn’t mean we disappear. We stay involved to make sure everything after the closing is just as smooth as everything before it.

Whether it’s coordinating movers, connecting you with contractors, or helping with utilities and services—we handle the annoying stuff so you don’t have to. Need help furnishing the space or prepping it before move-in? We’ve got you there too.

Our goal is simple: get you settled without the chaos.
