Owners Notice - Are Brokers Really Working for YOU?

December 16th, 2011 · 1 Comment

Owners beware.  A real problem exists between the relationship of Real Estate Brokers and the Landlord/Owners that they supposedly represent.  By New York State law, acting as a Landlord’s Agent, a Broker & all independent contractors who are bound to the Broker owe honesty, full disclosure, his/her fiduciary duties to the owner, etc….. and are […]

Really….I mean REALLY?

April 28th, 2011 · No Comments

Ok….so this duplex loft styled Williamsburg apartment rental looks pretty sweet right?  I’m not so sure.  The over-sized windows, new finishes, balcony with Manhattan Views, are all indeed pretty sweet ……. but the price tag and layout..not so sweet.  Your $2,400 gets you a very very tight space which includes a 4 floor walk up, […]
