Hello everyone. I’ve been posting on boards for about a month trying to find a little info and i’ve been told somethings i dont wholeheartly agree with. Am I crazy for thinking I can find a 1br in Greenpoint, Clinton Hill, Fort Green for 1200-1400 a month? I would really like some input, and if anyone knows of any good resources for apartment hunting b/c i really dont want to deal with a broker, and craigslist isn’t doing the trick. (or if you know of a good realtor I would love in the info)
THANKS!

  1. Yes, there are fewer rentals available in the winter months, but there are also fewer people looking at these times, so it is hard to say of you would be better off looking in August or September, for example, when there are probably the most apartments turning over.

  2. ok i havnet posted multiple times (i.e. the same questions) I’ve posted asking for any info. I know that broker and Realtors are the same I am using the terms interchangeably. I would rather not have to deal with some random Broker that is going to rip me off, but asking if there are any trusting brokers that people on this board have rented from is a valid question. Also to add comment to the other part of your question, I’ve found listing about 2 months ago for an ideal apartment to rent, but now that it is December/Holiday season, is it harder to find a rental during this particular time of year. I don’t understand how what i am asking is being misconstrued and ripped apart. If you do not have any useful information please do not respond to my posting

  3. You say “I have found places that fit what I want” and then say “at the moment I am not finding anything.” What are you trying to say?

    You also say you don’t want to deal with a broker but if anyone knows a good realtor you would love the info. You do know that a realtor is a broker, right?

  4. Do you think that posting the same question over and over again on this board is going to help you?

    Google “real estate broker NYC”.

  5. ok thanks for the info. I have found places that fit what i want. I guess I am trying to say at the moment i am not finding anything. I guess the better question is “is it harder to find a place during the winter months” b/c I’ve seen a big difference in the amount of rentals. and what the heck is this troll thing? and i haven’t talked to any Realtors b/c i dont know where to look for one

  6. yeah, i’d say at this point, after 4+ months of watching the rentals, if you still haven’t seen anything to meet your criteria, i think that answers your question.

    still, my friends found their apt without a broker, but it was still a unique situation (the owner took a shine to them and they got the place even though they didn’t get there first or have the best credit profile).

    i was assuming brokers would see your post and contact you through the board, but maybe even they are low on cheap greenpoint apts?
