We highly recommend Peter Cossio of HRG if you're considering selling your house in Hoboken. The…read moreprocess of putting your home on the market is always stressful, but with Peter we felt confident about the plan, the marketing and the successful sale. Our 150 yr old row house, previously converted to a 4 family, with driveway, garage and rear carriage house required a strategic analysis and creative marketing plan. Peter's deep understanding of Hoboken real estate and big picture market trends were invaluable in bringing the property to market and then contract within weeks. Peter was professional, straight forward and transparent about his process as he guided and advised us on every detail along the way. He counseled us on how to prep the property and was a great resource in helping us find just the right people to work with. Peter's passion for architecture and knowledge of historic homes is infectious and a great asset in showing and selling buildings of historic importance, of which there are many in Hoboken. We highly recommend him. Ada + Jon

I highly recommend Jordyn McKay to help you find an apartment in New York! Prior to working with…read moreher, I was left confused, discouraged, and exasperated by the realtors representing seemingly available apartments. All were unreliable, uninformed, incompetent, and slow to respond--if they responded at all. When they did communicate, it was followed by statements that contradicted their prior remarks or comments that made it appear they had forgotten about prior conversations. They presented an endless string of convoluted and ever-changing moving targets to apply and qualify for apartments. They usually immediately responded to an initial inquiry which was typically followed by the question, "What is your maximum budget?" It seemed as if the available apartment was posted to bait one into reaching out to them. However, any subsequent response appeared dependent on the "maximum budget." That is, if yours was not the highest for which they received then they would never respond to you. On the other hand, Jordyn listened carefully to my requirements, was sensitive to my needs, and forwarded a half dozen apartment options within hours of our first conversation. All of Jordyn's options met my criteria and were better than the ones I had targeted prior to working with her. Once I identified my top choice, Jordyn walked me through the leasing and qualifying process. She metaphorically held my hand through all of the hiccups and curveballs. Jordyn was in constant contact throughout the process. She frequently responded to my texts early mornings and well into the evenings. Jordyn was fully versed in lease agreements and strategies to qualify for apartments. She explained the steps very well and repeatedly demonstrated her acumen in this field. Jordyn allayed my concerns when appropriate and kept me upbeat when I felt discouraged. She was very familiar with all the properties that she forwarded to me as well my preferred neighborhoods. Jordyn had preexisting relationships with the apartment agents which resulted in her serving as an effective liaison for me. Jordyn is extremely charismatic and confident. She pays attention to details and always follows through with her tasks and promises. She is one of the hardest working and dedicated people I have ever met. Simply put, Jordyn is AMAZING! I am skeptical that I would have found an apartment as good as the one I just leased had it not been for Jordyn. I highly recommend Jordyn!

He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!

No matter what you do, stay away from Hudson Property Management (HPM). They present themselves as…read morea modern mgmt company with a flashy web portal where residents and condo board members can put work orders in, but it is all just flash. HPM has terrible service, instead of sending a person to oversee problems and repairs, they send "protocol", documents that are full of disclaimers to remind owners that HPM is not responsible for anything, and you are on your own. When water is pouring into your apartment, the last thing you need is a document called "leak protocol". When a major event occurs in your building, you need somebody from the management company on site to oversee the incident, you don't need a protocol document to tell you that you are on your own. The brothers that own HPM, are seriously bombastic AF. Ask the poor Parking utility guy that was simply trying to buy lunch at Fiore's a few months ago when he got aggressively harassed by one of the brothers who was pissed that he got a parking ticket. Or ask any of the multiple unit owners who've been aggressively yelled at by the brothers that "your building is a piece of shit, you are lucky that we are managing it for you" HPM Refuses to share financial documents with unit owners, in order to see anything financial related you must go to the HPM office in person during business hours, you must view them on a monitor, you cannot take pictures, you cannot take notes, you cannot pass go, you cannot collect $200, and they stand over you while viewing the docs. At the first sign of snow each year, many management companies will send out a notice reminding you to be careful, letting you know when your entryway will be shoveled, and letting you know how to contact them if there's an emergency. At the first sign of snow each year, HPM sends out a disclaimer reminding you that HPM is not responsible for any injuries or for clearing the sidewalks or for anything. Need your lightbulbs changed, no problem, put in a work order and HPM is sure to have the bulb changed within a few months , yes MONTHS. Moving in? Moving out? You need to pay HPM a $300 "non-refundable inspection fee", this is to have somebody from HPM come to your building to look at the walls after you move. Sure, maybe you can justify this as a service fee, but HPM will never actually show up to do that inspection. Damage in the building's hallway? No problem, just open a work order and HPM will send somebody out in 4 to 6 months to take care of the damage. Maybe they will fix it right the first time, but probably not. HPM has their own cleaning business that does things like taking your garbage out or cleaning the building. Watch out, they will make your building look worse than it looked before they cleaned. Want to rent your unit out, HPM will harass you to pay them for unit management services. HPM is shady AF, they frequently hide work orders on their portal and they have stopped showing the dates that entries were made on the portal (so you can't figure out how long it takes them to get stuff done). Have an opinion about HPM? Post a review? Want to share it on the Internet? Maybe put it on Reddit? Get ready, you will get harassing threats from HPM's lawyer "remove your review or we will sue you" They are full of excuses, their service is terrible, they are a disgrace that will run your building into the ground.

I am writing to follow up on the review I posted about the management on google . I appreciate that…read moreyou responded to my review; however, I need to address several inaccuracies and provide additional context. Firstly, I understand that the owner's responsibility includes paying for repairs within their unit. My original request was for the management to address issues in the common areas, specifically the hallways. Other tenants have been moving beds through these hallways uncovered, leading to a bed bug infestation throughout the building. Despite this being a clear management responsibility, my requests were ignored until I involved the health department, who then mandated immediate action. Regarding your response, you are correct that Adam was the exterminator. The manager I referred to in my complaint was Eric, who was extremely rude. As someone who works in property management, I am fully aware of the distinction between owner and management responsibilities. Additionally, I recently had a plumbing issue which a plumber identified as originating from another apartment. Despite calling at least four times and leaving multiple voicemails, my calls went unanswered. I have attached screenshots showing my call history, which contradicts your claim that there are no records of my calls. Each voicemail was over a minute long. Furthermore, I submitted several work orders that also went unanswered. It was only after contacting Donald, the president of the board, that any action was taken, and I am currently awaiting his follow-up. It is unreal for me to have to escalate issues to this level, especially when I pay for management services to handle common areas and building issues. Worse management company. I see they got sued already. I can't wait to potentially do the same! See below for each time I called and left a voicemail with no response.
