Jodi is amazing. My roommates and I couldn't have had a better experience with her. We found her…read moreby a fluke when my friend saw a building that she was leasing and passed along her phone number. I called Jodi and within 15 minutes she had sent me 10 great listings of potential units that fit our criteria. We had been working with other realtors for a few weeks and we had not seen any of these listings. We set up a time to meet that night and we saw 3 places. 2 of those places quickly became the top 2 places we had seen in our entire search. Jodi guided us through the process and we had all the necessary paperwork for the apartment we wanted. The next morning, we were the first application in and were approved the next day. It was 44 hours from the first time we contacted Jodi to time we had approval of our application (and the approval process which was out of her hands took 26 of those hours). Finding an apartment in NYC is normally a very overwhelming and painful process, but she made it quick, easy and manageable for us. Jodi is extremely responsive and gave us all her effort. She was never pushy and was realistic and honest with us about the approach. We could not be happier with our unit and we know all of our friends are going to be envious of our place. I would recommend Jodi with the highest regard

Thank you, Mr. Hill for following up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At first BAB seemed like a professional, prompt establishment. However, the agent I worked with, Melissa, basically lied about many details of the apartment I ended up renting and was only out to make her part of the commission. The apartment was being "renovated" when I saw it. Melissa said the landlord would replace everything, put screens in the window and that the apartment came with a ceiling fan in the kitchen. Melissa stated that the landlord is great and the "super" does excellent work. She was very persistent when it came to collecting the deposits and fees, but her dedication fell off shortly afterwards. I requested to see the apartment again before the move in date to ensure all repairs had been made. BAB was unable to make that happen and began diverting my questions to the agent representing the landlord. On my move-in date, the "super" was still repairing the bathroom, there were no refrigerator or stove, the ceiling fan had been replaced with a used light fixture, the windows did not have any screens, and a filthy stove hood was in the kitchen. (The appliances were delivered after 6 PM that evening. Therefore, I didn't have any heat because National Grid could not turn on the gas without a stove.) Over the last month, I have made several requests to have BAB do something about all these issues, but nothing has been done. When I began my complaint to Melissa, she tried to say that she didn't say everything would be "new" or "replaced". She basically just stopped responding to me. At that time, Ernest became the contact person, and he assured that everything would be taken care of. He claimed to have contacted the landlord's agent and more useless promises were made. I was told that the super would replace the hood and install the screens "when the weather got warmer". I recently followed up with the super and he told me that he doesn't install screens. Communication has been horrible. They haven't even been able to supply a contact number for management...just the address to mail monthly rent checks. This has been a disappointing experience. My next step will be contacting a lawyer to see what my rights are concerning this mishap. I have a huge paper trail to document everything. It's great to see how wonderful BAB has been for everyone else...wish it could have been for me as well.

She was very kind over the phone when I talked to her for the first time, she was never pushy as I needed time to clear out my house first before listing it. She came with a professional photographer and took beautiful, professional pictures of my house! I was so impressed, my extended family and friends were also amazed with how the pictures turned out! No denying these pictures spoke volumes and we had a line of people at my front door, patiently waiting to see my house! There was a bidding war and we surprisingly had 18 offers above asking price, and my jaw dropped!! e didn't expect that at all. Tina guided us patiently! We had some hurdles along the way during our inspection but Tina gave us useful resources that helped us get thru the hurdles!

I had a very specific criteria that I was looking for with a low budget, but she still found me a variety of spaces to view. She also had fantastic knowledge of the areas, and was able to provide me with recommendations on where to live. She negotiated rents and security deposits on my behalf, and made sure that I felt safe visiting properties. Erin was completely transparent with me throughout the process, and really made me feel like I could trust her to put my interests first.

Would 100% recommend working with Erin for your next apartment search, and will definitely be coming back to her for mine!

I had a deeply troubling experience with Elegran broker Aimee Fink during my tenancy at a co-op…read moreapartment she listed in Murray Hill, Manhattan. During the leasing process, I explicitly requested a two-year lease for housing stability. I was told in writing that a two-year lease was unavailable due to board policy. I later discovered this was not accurate. The real reason was that the apartment was part of an estate with a mandate to sell after one year. Had I known this, I never would have signed the lease. At the initial showing, Ms. Fink failed to show up entirely and sent a colleague without notifying me in advance. That colleague arrived 30 minutes late. When I directly asked why the previous tenant had left the apartment, I was told she had moved. I later discovered from a long-term building resident that the previous tenant had actually passed away. When I raised this with Ms. Fink in writing, her response was dismissive and aggressive rather than professional or empathetic. During my tenancy, Ms. Fink gave me less than 24 hours notice for an open house. When I cited my tenant rights and declined, she sent written communications suggesting I take my professional business meeting in the building stairwell. She also stated in writing that she would sabotage my future housing recommendations if I did not comply with her unlawful request. I filed multiple formal written complaints with Elegran management. My first complaint received an initial acknowledgment but no meaningful corrective action. My second complaint received no response at all. I have documented written evidence of everything described above and am currently working with an attorney on this matter. We have sent formal written communications to Elegran in both July and August documenting these violations. To date, Elegran has not responded to a single communication. If you have had a similar experience with Aimee Fink or Elegran Real Estate, my attorney and I would love to hear from you as soon as possible. Please reach out at v.cartoon.g@gmail.com

We explained we were making the visit on behalf of the two other girls as everyone lived out of state. We visited a few more properties in the area and circled back to this one. We informed Iris that one of the roommates required a medical alert dog (as we weren't originally informed). She got a bit rude with us and said there was NO WAY the owner was going to allow that. We asked her to ask since the Fair Housing in NY protects people with disabilities. She was very rude and said "if it comes down to you guys and someone else without a dog ... we are going to pick the other people!" She said this on a call with three other people listening into. Needless to say ... we never heard from her again. Please don't use this agent... if she would do THIS, what else would she possibly do??
