Apartment hunting in NYC can be a painful ordeal, so it was refreshing to meet Mandy, our lovely…read morebroker and friend, on a hot summer afternoon. She showed my roommate and I a nice place, and then drove us to the place we fell in love with instantly. Everything was made easy from then on. They were patient with us, sent us everything we had to fill out, explained things clearly and set up our meetings with the landlord. We didn't even have to give them a penny (Mandy found us only no-fee apts.) which is why I feel compelled to write them this review. I hope I never have to move out again (yea right..), but if I do, I hope Rental Solutions is still around, and that Mandy still has my phone number! I'll even go further. I've seen other (hidden) reviews for this company on here saying how unreliable and unprofessional they were. In my experience, if you're nice to others, they'll be nice to you. The people here were a perfect illustration of that mantra. Stay patient, open minded, and be kind. Mandy will be there for you if you are.

Seriously-- heed the reviews…read more Omar was 20 minutes late to our apartment viewing before calling to say he couldn't make it-- he seemed apologetic and gave us the code to let us into the apartment, so I shrugged it off. As it turns out, this wasn't a one-off and he often cancels on his clients with no notice. After viewing, we were pressured into putting in a competitive offer above the listed price, plus a 15% broker fee (absurd, but we were unfamiliar with the renting landscape in NYC after the FARE Act went into effect). It took almost two weeks, and many, many calls, emails, and texts from both of us and our guarantors (we spent literally hours trying to get in touch with Omar), to finally be sent the application materials. ANOTHER week passed with no reply or acknowledgement before we gave up on the unit. The whole experience left us feeling frustrated and ignored. Do yourself a favor, avoid this group and any of their units. No matter how much you like the apartment, there will be another one-- without the headache.

HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND…read more At first, Omar was very friendly and helpful. However, after we submitted our application, he disappeared for weeks, ignoring multiple calls and messages. He finally confirmed our approval, but pushed us to pay an upfront broker fee to receive a discounted monthly rent, instead of just letting us pay the full advertised rent (which was listed with no broker fee). Because he was being incredibly pushy about the upfront fee, we felt uncomfortable and proposed a compromise: paying half the fee before moving in and the other half after moving. He refused. When we reiterated we would just pay the full advertised rent with no broker fee, he stopped responding completely. The communication was terrible and the experience was very frustrating. Avoid this broker.

This company also manages my building and I've had zero issues in the almost 8 months I've lived here. They send exterminators regularly (totally preventative - I've had zero pests) and Gary is super responsive anytime I've had a question or an issue with my apartment. A+!

After working with Carmen Giordano, our comments are quite the opposite of negative and we are pleased to write regarding the unbelievable positive experiences we had while working with her. We had answered an ad that Carmen had posted on Craigslist for an apartment located in Forest Hills. She contacted us so quickly after sending our email responding to that classified ad that we were shocked. Unfortunately, the apartment in that ad ended up not as appealing enough for us to see it. Carmen was very easy to talk with, so we had explained a situation with a different Realtor about an apartment we liked but another Realtor made an appointment to meet us and never showed. Since Carmen was so kind, we had asked her to find out if this apartment was a multiple listing that she could get access. To our surprise, she already knew everything about this apartment because she had recently rented it. But, she informed us that the recent renters broke their lease and it is available again. The asking rent was an issue for us because of our budget. She made an offer to the landlord but he said no therefore, we also said no and moved on totally disappointed. She then sent a few listings of other available apartments in the area within our price range but none of these appealed to us. We asked Carmen to keep us posted if any other apartments become available as we continued our search with other Realtor's. She said we could call her anytime and if we see something interesting that she is local and can show apartments anytime even if at 10PM in the evening. We thanked her and kept on looking. A week had passed since our last contact with her and after having plenty of disappointment upon disappointment with other Realtor's we decided to give Carmen a call. It was late on a Sunday afternoon when we called asking her if one of the apartments she had sent in the email was available for us to see because we were in the area looking with other Realtor's at that time. She said yes and met us at the building that had an available apartment shortly after we spoke. We didn't care for the layout of the apartment and were disappointed. However, remembering our conversations about the other apartment, she mentioned that it was still available but the rent hasn't been reduced because she already checked before we met that day. We then decided to go and see the apartment again, this time with Carmen. Giving it more thought, we told her that if the price isn't negotiable that we would accept the asking price. Then before leaving Forest Hills that same Sunday evening, she took the time to show us the local areas and suggested nice places for good food, going way above and beyond her responsibilities. Carmen was scheduled to leave for vacation the following day but promised that she would continue working for us to get into the apartment. Being true to her word, she was in contact with us daily trying to work with this landlord who was very slow in accepting us as tenants due to other situations he had keeping him preoccupied. Patiently, she called, emailed and text during her entire vacation time. This was totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. After signing the lease, she followed up with us that evening to make sure everything with the apartment was to our satisfaction. We had some issues and explained that it had not been painted as promised, but with her help working with the landlord, the next day it was painted. She offered her assistance moving forward should we need it for any other possible issues or questions we may have with the apartment. It was nice knowing that the Realtor / Customer relationship didn't end with Carmen (or Dallien Realty) once the lease was signed. After working with so many other Realtor's in Forrest Hills, only to be disappointed by nearly all of them, we were so happy to meet and work with Carmen because she does exactly what she says and consistently followed up during the entire process. Carmen assisted us with finding the perfect rental in Forest Hills and we consider her to be an asset for Dallien Realty. We will highly recommend Carmen to any one of our friends, family or co-workers that needs a trustworthy contact at a successful Realtor. We feel like we now have a friend in the business and will never hesitate to work with Carmen again in the future.
