    I visited Industry City this weekend with my husband. We took the train from Herald Square to 36th…read moreSt in Sunset Park (D train on the way over there, then the N on the way back). It's a short walk a few blocks over from the subway station. The place is HUGE! We didn't cover everything, but I know I already want to return and see more. Yesterday, we visited Japan Village and House of GOAL NY mainly, and we had lunch at the Food Hall and visited the two-story Petco store there. We cut through Innovation Alley to get to different buildings throughout the day, so we got to see a variety of shops, eateries, and courtyards in the Industry City compound (yeah, that was intentional, I said compound). It's a vibrant place with how the indoor and outdoor areas are laid out, designed, and decorated. By design, it's a space to bring people together and gather, etc. I also noticed how accessibility friendly it was with ramps, clear signage for elevators, etc. I really liked Industry City a lot and will come back for sure :)

    I also had a bad experience with Tri State Commercial. I am not going to trash the entire company,…read morebut specifically one of their agents, Maurice Amar. He was given specific instructions not to speak to anyone on premises relative to a business for sale. He has a flyer with highlighted instructions to be discreet and not speak to anyone on premises. A covering email again recited the admonition not to speak to anyone on premises. Maurice Amar ignored the instructions and the flyer's instructions. When a business is for sale, informing the staff is extremely disruptive. It puts fear into the staff who may leave thinking there would be no place for them under a new restaurant. After all, would you book a party at a place you knew was for sale?

    Do NOT list your property with Tri State Commercial. This company is made of of liars and thieves!…read moreWe were approached by Avi Akiva from Tri State to rent our commercial space and were convinced to sign an exclusive contract with them which turned out to be a huge mistake. The day after signing, Avi contacted us with an interested business. It was a business that had already approached us prior to signing the contract and had already turned down. It was this moment I realized we were approached because they already had an interested party. We explained our reasons for turning them down and hoped to move on. Unfortunately, after this interaction we were no longer able to get in contact with them for the rest of our contract length. In Avi's defense, I initially asked him to list at a rate he felt was too high. I told him I would be open to listing lower if he saw a lack of interest. After the 1st month, I was ready to lower our rate, but could not get in contact with Avi to make the change. Every time I called, he would answer that he was busy and needed to give me a call back. I never got any of these call backs. So i texted him to arrange a time better for him. He would respond with a voice message that he would call me back "thursday" which he never would. After about the 6th attempt with no call back, I accepted that he was purposely avoiding my calls. Since we had another unavoidable 5 months left on our contract, I checked into the ads that they had posted on our behalf and found multiple issues. Not only were we LISTED IN THE WRONG LOCATION!!! but even the important details were wrong such as square footage which was listed at lower than existing. Our property is located in Williamsburg on the waterfront. They listed us in Flatbush. During this time we were also contacted by multiple realtors with interested clients who expressed their refusal to work with Tri State Realty. But we told them we had no choice but to wait for our contract to end. Had we known about their reputation earlier, we definitely would not have signed with them. I hope this prevents others from making the same mistake I did.

    We highly recommend working with Peter McGuire of Smith Hanten Properties--and not just because…read morehe's probably the best-dressed real estate agent we've ever met. After our tenant of 15 years moved on, we turned to Peter, whose deep knowledge of the local market helped us price and position our newly renovated apartment perfectly. He created professional photos and an excellent video, then marketed them broadly, generating strong interest right away. Peter carefully screened candidates, met them in person, and kept us informed every step of the way. The result: a great tenant, a smooth process, and the confidence that we had a true professional (with great style) in our corner.

    I'm finding myself difficult to write this as I know this will blemish the amazing 5 star record…read more But my experience is SOOOOO awful it should not go without telling. James Lola is a horrible individual. And when you recall stories of despicable brokers, he embodies ALLLL of that. This perspective comes from a renter interested in a home James has exclusive rights to. This apartment is located on Hoyt St and I feel terrible for the homeowners he represents. The one major issue was the ability to get into the home. Due to the fact that there were current tenants residing in the space, access was limited. This is very understandable to myself and all. I followed up with James for several days until he responded with an option that worked. Sidebar - I had to do all of the follow up. On my final attempt to confirm a time with James, he responded by asking if my partner is coming. Let's put a few things out there. 1) If you're a New Yorker, We all know how cut throat the real estate industry is. 2) It's preferable by brokers that all parties are in attendance for the viewing, but when it doesn't work due to limited access then it doesn't work. And my partner is a doctor with irregular hours. 3) It's not difficult to know right away if an apartment is a good fit or not. And if it is, a second visit is not unwarranted. Back to the story of James. James responds with "we require all adults who will occupy to view together, at least the first time. We can't rent an apartment to people who haven't seen it, and whom we haven't met." Now, I personally have seen an apartment without my partner. He has done the same. And we do understand this is a preferred option but given the difficulty of being able to get access because of the current tenants, the very limited viewing hours, attempting to see the place for a week, and the fact that my partner also has a hard schedule due to his career, I would have HOPED there would be some flexibility since I could see it on Wed and he could see it on Friday if I felt this would be a great fit. After James response, I decide to immediately call him and have a conversation. And THIS is where sh*t hits the fans!!
