Apartment hunting is a scary business especially in NYC. It can also be an expensive business and not only in respect of the rental prices as there is often "Mr Ten Per cent" to consider and he likes his cake at both ends of the transaction. Naked Apartments can go a long way to not only help you find what you’re looking for but in a lot of cases succeed without you having to stump up the broker fees that go with it.
In addition to having a search facility where you can look for suitable apartments you can also flag up just what you need and get the brokers to come looking for you. By entering basic information such as location, maximum rent and size requirements the site will, and I quote, broadcast your wants to their far-flung broker base. If you only want to hear from "no fee" operators then just make sure you enter that.
The pain of having to constantly trawl through property websites is removed with email notifications sent you each morning setting out possible matches along with their Naked Apartments Quality Score. It’s then up to you which broker you choose to deal with. Your personal details are never shared with anyone and so the only time a broker will learn of them is when you contact them.
If you’re unsure about which broker to use then the site can also help you out there with reviews from previous users rating them for honesty, reliability and listing quality. Once you’re happily settled in to your new home you can also review your broker experience and help future users overcome what can be a pretty stressful time.
Conclusion
It’s free to use and so a no-brainer really for anyone tearing their hair out trying to find somewhere to live in NYC.
