We went to their office to see a specific unit posted the same morning as our appointment. They had us fill out a form and then told us the unit we were interested in was already rented, but they could show us others. This is a very common bait and switch tactic used in NYC realty that has wasted a ton of our time.
In the end we rented a huge one-bedroom in Hell's Kitchen. Bob got us a great deal and has continued to be helpful even as we prepare to move, since he is so knowledgeable about the area. We're lucky to have found him!
Bob Brooks has been fantastic to work with. He showed us three beautiful apartments, all in our preferred neighborhood and all in our price range, and was extremely accommodating - he even had his colleague, David, take us to see two of the places twice! I've seen a lot of terrible units during my apartment search, and every single place that Bob showed us was better than anything we saw elsewhere.
They are the shadiest rental brokers. They will charge you a 15% fee for apartments that are listed as no-fee apartments by the landlords. When confronted, that I have seen the apartment listed as no-fee on Craigslist that was being shown to me by Sam Kankalil on his computer, I was told about this elaborate story about how the landlord has given his cousin the right to rent all apartments and that he works as the broker and blah bla blah. My wife and I walked out of their office..
Stay away from these people. Do not pay a fee for No-Fee apartments.
Kristine DeVine has restored my faith in NYC brokers! Every aspect of my experience with her has been pleasant. She's helpful, informative and friendly — all things you learn not to expect when apartment-hunting in NYC. Kristine will be my first call when I'm ready for my next move.
Stay far far away from these incompetent people. They lie and cheat.
