Friends of ours are trying to rent out this two bed in Prospect Heights:

It is very nice as garden level apartments go…..
I don’t know if this is best place to do this, but my Girlfriend and I responded to this CL posting last Friday:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/abo/1333597140.html
We did not get a email response. Then Saturday night a rapid realty broker called both my GF and myself. We had only responded to this one posting all week. So he tried to tell my girlfriend what APT’s he had and she politely let him go.
He called me about a hour later (this sat night at 8pm) and I started pressing him on how he got my number, he said I had called him and left him a message. I told him he was incorrect, I told him I had responded to one CL posting last week, he asked if he had the right number, changing the last digit on my number and saying he must have the wrong number. Then I brought up that he called my girlfriend a hour early and I told he was posting fake listing on CL under “listing by owner”. He hung up on me, I tried to call him back twice and he would not answer.
How do you report that Rapid Realty is doing things like this? I have his number but I don’t know how to proceed with reporting him.
I think the first two are legit ads. The other three, I can’t say. Please note that one of them has already been pulled.
I’ve used Craig’s list as a landlord and as a renter and have found that even though you have to wade through a lot of stuff, it’s pretty easy to pick out the actual owner’s listings.
I like this feature.
Is Craig’s list THAT unreliable?
The only apartment here that’s not hideously and mind-bendingly ugly is the one with no pictures.
I love this idea. However I really think these are a turnoff as they are all craigs list. from my experience CL has a bunch of sketchy unreliable listings. Personally Id prefer listings from NYTimes or the known real estate agencies.
Yes…this is a great new feature on brownstoner!!! Love it!
Regarding the rentals:
Only the first and last listings are in Prospect Heights. All the others are clearly Crown Heights.
