Our Video Tours

From the moment a potential tenant has a interest in your apartment they will be able to virtually tour it in seconds. Our professional videos are strategically captured to show the apartment in the best possible light. This enables thousands of potential tenants to view your entire apartment that may have otherwise skipped touring your listing.

Our Floor Plans

A study conducted by Right Move showed that a proper detailed floor plan boosted listing traffic by over 30%. Not only do we provide a proper floor plan, we take it to the next level and design custom 3D floor plans that match your apartments finishing such as cabinet color, bathroom tile style etc.

We have the farthest reach. Our listings appear on hundreds of websites.

24-Hour Live Service

Through the use of our globally placed reception teams, we are able to deliver industry-leading response times and around-the-clock coverage. For example: If an inquiry about your unit comes in at 2:30am, an appointment will typically be set within 30minutes.

We Keep the Lights On

With the rollout of ConEd Smart Meters, electricity is quickly turned off once a tenant vacates leaving most agents showing your apartment in the dark. We register our name with ConEd to keep the lights on until a lease is signed.

In-depth Tenant Screening

Our propriety tenant vetting system goes beyond simple credit and background checks. We explore every legally-allowable avenue and public record on the tenant and their associations in addition to the standard background checks customarily performed.

Lease Preparation

We handle signing, executing, and delivery of checks and lease to the owner’s office throught FedEx overnight. We move quickly through the process to ensure the deal closes.

Seamless Move-In

Everytime the lease is signed, we send out welcome packets to your tenants to help them move-in. They contain all the necessary information: from how to setup the electric to where to send the checks for rent.

TESTIMONIALS

To Whom It May Concern,  

I am writing this letter to demonstrate my incredible experience with David Warner and his  team at Blackwater Associates. David and I first started working with each other in August of 2018.  Beginning with just 1 apartment and later expanding to a 20,000 square foot portfolio of rental  properties throughout Manhattan exclusively, David has and continues to exceed my expectations.  He displays professionalism, market knowledge, and efficiency and instills these traits throughout his  team. Whether it be rental season or off peak, David has never left us with a single vacancy to date.  It would be with pleasure to speak in greater detail should you have any questions.

Justin Sedgh | President, Joon Group, Inc.

My company is Weber Realty Management and we manage about 40 buildings in Manhattan. I have been working with David since early 2019 to help us rent apartments that we were having trouble with. After months on the market with other brokers, David was able to rent it in just a few days after taking over the listing. He does not waste any time and finds quality tenants paying top dollar relative to the market.

When COVID began in March 2020, we started giving David more and more listings until eventually we made an exclusive deal. Thankfully, it was the right decision that helped us stay afloat with occupancy consistently close to 100%. He brings valuable insights for marketing methods and has great repair/upgrade recommendations that has helped us increase the value/rent of apartments.

Throughout decades of running my own brokerage, I have come across all types of agents. I’m about as savvy of an NYC landlord as you can imagine.

In my time working with Daniel Flesser and David Warner, and their firm, Blackwater Associates Inc.,
I’ve found their professionalism, demeanor, and attention to detail to be unmatched in the modern rental industry.

Though they employ and are constantly innovating every available technological advance to dial-in my rentals with the best marketing and tenants, what really sets them – and any successful business – are the people. You’d be hard pressed to find a smarter, more resourceful, or more efficient group.

Carolyn Rusin | CR Properties

David and his team have been a key to keeping our family business running smoothly, helping us maximize our rent income through recent good and bad times.  When COVID turned the market dry, David and his team advised us on short term leases and how far to lower rents, and in the recent recovery has helped manage competing bids from prospective tenants to sign above the listing price.

The Blackwater team continues to update our listings with new photos and floor plans, organize showings and open houses, oversee the application & credit check process, and generate leases and collect checks for us — the only thing we have to do is sign on the dotted line and deposit the checks.

Some of our leases are shorter term, and the Blackwater team have been ahead of the curve, anticipating our expiring leases to make sure that we set the wheels in motion to stay at full occupancy.

But what I appreciate the most is their thoughtful and personal touch — they have gone the extra mile to answer concerns and questions, have helped negotiate uncomfortable situations with reductions of security deposits, and have even helped with last-minute repairs to get the units ready for the first of the month.

ABOUT US

We have reimagined brokerage from the ground up. Where most firms fail, we make it our top priority to succeed. Every firm claims to have great marketing, however very few chose to use it and when they do its only on select luxury-listings. We choose to be a marketing firm first and a brokerage second: We boast million-dollar-listing marketing even on a sub-market tiny studio. With a consistent marketing approach to every apartment, even if it only has one window, we can guarantee your apartment will be seen in the best possible light.
