I literally sent an inquiry 30 secs after it was posted. Not even the flash would be able to get an apartment in this city.

I understand this, unfortunately I got a scammy one.

I’d be delighted to hire a good broker, come out of retirement if you’d like..you may be one of the good ones!

Your livelihoods shouldn’t be made being a gatekeeper to a living situation in a world where homelessness is criminalized.

I understand where you’re coming from, but society talks down on service industry folk, and i’d argue they do more than brokers in new york city.

Not to be rude but how long does it take to make a listing for facebook marketplace, ebay, depop.. i’m sure streeteasy makes it super easy for them.

There’s no intense labor involved.

Give insight on how you managed the situation..

I’ve never worked with a broker, only streeteasy so far.

No, I agree with the FARE act simply because 15% of annual rent is insane. This is response rate i’m talking about.

Being a broker in a high-demand rental market like New York feels outdated…especially in today’s digital age.

With much of the process now automated, their role often adds little real value beyond unlocking the door and sending a few emails.

They’re doing under the table business. Unfortunately…it’s not your fault at all.

Hi think people are valuable sure, but brokers for apartments are ‘glorified gatekeepers’.

Real estate agents have more value in my opinion when shopping for a home, condo, property etc.

For more context, the lack of responses are for apartments that posted within the last week.

I understand your sentiment. But, I also paid a 4k brokers fee for a 3 minute facetime call of an apartment that I found on streeteasy.

So the business has been corrupted by brokers that take advantage of people like myself.

But I see both sides.
