I am was interested in seeing an open house and contacted this agent via text for an appointment as…read moreper instructions. I was looking forward to connecting with Ms. Beaudoin as her reviews are very strong and the agency is in the neighborhood where I am currently shopping for a property. I have only been welcomed to several open houses with very positive experiences with realtors. Someone responded to my text and in fairness, I cannot be 100% sure it was Ms. Beaudoin, but it was her published number. I was told I could not attend the open house without a for a pre-approval letter. This resulted in a bit of a back and forth. The tone of the texts was aggressive and rude. Because I was taken aback, I wanted to clarify that I would not be allowed to attend the open house because I didn't want to discuss my finances with someone I had never had a conversation with or even met face to face. The response was, "well, do you have a pre-approval letter?" Then that exchange was followed with, was I working with an agent? It was a bit too much for a text introduction to make an appointment to attend an OPEN HOUSE! I do understand a realtor's position and if I asked to make an appointment for a private showing I wouldn't think it odd to produce a pre approval. However, this was an open house and there was no sort of professionalism in that exchange. It was really off putting and I thought about it for a few days before writing this review. However, this is just not how you treat people, especially in a relationship based business. I ended with the exchange stating that they were losing the potential of a great client financial and otherwise, thanking her for her time. About an hour later I did receive another text which ran on about how buildings are strict about financials and that after "asking my broker" I would be permitted to attend the open house and to let them know. Please, the level of condescending was so extra, I didn't need the favor, and one should not assume and/or underestimate the level of knowledge and intellect of another. It was really crazy. I never responded, having been so put off and disappointed by the exchange. Since the agency is in this realtor's name and assuming this might be the "broker" referenced in the text message, I cannot be sure with whom I was in communication with. However, there was no justification for what I experienced after a simple request to attend an open house. Whether my exchange was directly with Ms. Beaudoin or someone working for her it was simply not ok on any level.

This review is for Milton Coste…read more I've had the pleasure of working with Milton on two separate occasions. The first time, helped me locate a no-fee 2BR Apt in no-time. I gave him a budget and while he told me that it was very strict, he asked me to check out a few places available. I was resigned to settle for a small 2BR; however, as I was checking out one of his recommended apts, he contacted me regarding a much larger 2BR which had just been placed on the market. I did the paper work the latter and received t the approval/keys in less than a business week. On the second occasion, after my roommate and I decided to part ways, I contacted Milton. To be honest, prior to doing this I had previously applied to another apt I had seen on Craigslist, but that deal went nowhere (Note to the reader: Stay away from Best Apartments Inc. They are very unprofessional and unethical). I informed Milton about my current budget, location, and moving date. He showed me around a few places and once I had settled on one, had me submit the application. I was approved the next day, and the lease was signed within the next 24Hrs. This apartment had a 15% broker fee, but I didn't mind paying it as Milton had come to my rescue (for free) in the past. I can't say enough good things about the guy. He's very professional, acts very quickly and will give you his honest opinion about an area or building. I highly recommend him.

When I started taking measurements of the apartment to decide what furniture to buy for the place I discovered the apartment was only 857 sq feet (including all closet space, cut-outs and duct space - so the entire possible foot print of the apartment). When I contacted my agent at Blu to query this I was told that they quote the size listed on the official condo offering plan and to back that up they sent me a floor plan they said was the official floor plan. Unfortunately the room areas quoted on the floor plan only add to 788 sq feet. I asked for a refund on part of my broker fee and their response was - have your lawyer call us.

Vimal was recommended to my by a personal close friend and I was not disappointed. There are lots of shady agents in the NYC real estate market and working with VImal was a refreshing relief. Vimal was always prompt to return phone calls and emails and was very thorough in guiding me through the process. I chose to work with Vimal and Blue over anyone else because Vimal was honest and extremely respectful of my time. He worked around my strict 9-5 schedule and carefully used my preferred areas to only show me something I would like to rent. Effortless, smooth and the fastest rental process from start to finish I have ever had in NYC. I can't say enough good things about Vimal and I have recommended him time and time again to friends who have had similar experiences. Vimal gets a huge thumbs up in my book!
