MySpace NYC

Everything went great! If you want a phenomenal consistent experience ask for Daniel! He did everything he could to help make our experience easy and smooth!

I had the pleasure of working with Myles Ellison at MySpace NYC and I never thought I would be saying this about a broker but he was an absolute DREAM to work with! He was so attentive to my needs/​unrealistic wants and didn’t waste my time by showing me things I specifically said I didn’t want. There was no bait and switch they usually pull (when I said I didn’t want something by the train he didn’t show me things near the train). We did not waste any time looking at places and he sent me links that matched my needs throughout the week. He was so prompt to respond to my emails. Myles really made me feel like an important client and he was so kind I would definitely recommend him to anyone apartment hunting in Brooklyn!

Had a terrible experience with MySpace. I rented an apartment which said in the lease would be clean when I moved in, it was disgusting and I had to hire someone to clean it. About six months in to my lease after multiple problems with the apartment and a termite infestation (the issues were either never fixed or took forever to fix) I was able to break my lease as I found out the apartment they rented me had been an illegal rental. Do not rent through MySpace.

Edward Chittenden was very good, very responsive, friendly, helpful. The apartment is great but it was newly renovated and many things were not ready for us. The move-​in was mid-​November and the heat wasn’t working for at least a month, there were no mailboxes, no doorbell, and no numbers signifying the address of the location.

They’re no good. I can say that they put on a great show for you once they have your money in their hands. It’s hard enough trying to avoid crooks in NY, but now you have to try to avoid liars with licenses to screw you over.
If you plan to deal with them, just be sure to hold on tight because that roller coaster will be exhausting once you’re done.
It looks like their previous Unilocal account was deleted because they had way more reviews than this AND they weren’t so high on that scale.
Just be careful dealing with this company. They will say whatever it takes to make you trust them.

Unprofessional and shady operation. Our broker was a liar and a creep, making promises that he never delivered on once the lease was signed.
BEWARE: MySpace NYC are the company they keep! Not only was the broker a liar, but our landlord was also a fraud that refused to return our security deposit (without cause).
Myspace NYC brokers have zero integrity and thus don’t care that they represent SLUMLORDS who gouge and swindle their tenants.
I’m using COMPASS from now on.

Really bad. They tell you pertinent information before move in and then don’t follow through once lease is signed. Things break and they take incredibly long to fix it; also make it difficult. The apartments are nice tho, just a huge headache dealing with them when things go wrong and you need them to do their job. They are all connected to the landlord. When I told landlord about their promises that turned out wrong, he just shrugged his shoulders and ignored it, like not his problem. Meanwhile I think he is fully aware

Lots of promises with little delivery. And when delivered it always comes with a frown (or a rude remark I suppose).
1) When we moved in, we were promised a «broom clean» apartment (which is standard) that would be repainted. The previous tenets were disgusting. After lots of hassling and making signing of the lease contingent on receiving a clean apartment, My Space agreed. Sadly, they just never did anything they promised. We moved into a mess of an apartment and hired outside help at our expense.
2) Every interaction I’ve had with the My Space employees has been unpleasant. They’re generally rude and don’t respond to requests.
3) Now I’m moving out of the apartment and am struggling to get my deposit back despite an incredibly clean apartment. How difficult do you think you can make it for people renting through you?
Anyway, I know renting in NYC is difficult but I really can’t recommend this group.

Sorry this review is a long time coming but you know how hectic this City can be. For that reason, and many more, I am so blessed to have found Laura McCarthy at MyspaceNYC to help me find the perfect apartment! I moved here from LA with not the best credit and was having a stressful time finding an apartment. I was looking at closet size apartments that were more than my price range and thought this must just be nyc. Seeing how I did the research to find the apartments, thought broker fees were outrageous and with my credit, I was going to pay around $ 10,000 at signing. No thanks. When I was at the point of crying from stress, I found Laura. Before even meeting me, she asked my search criteria, and instantly started sending me options. If I didn’t like one, she didn’t push it, but just kept sending me more. She knew I was on a time restraint to find an apartment (I had less than a week to be out of my sublet) and I worked a lot of hours at a restaurant, so it was comforting to know I could rely on someone to help me out. Once we found the apartment, we had days to get paperwork in and approved. No matter what hour it was, Laura never stopped working for me. She is genuinely interested in helping you get your dream apartment. Oh and I don’t believe I mentioned, she is NO FEE. She has no reason to take advantage, she just wants to help. Which in a time that is as stressful as moving, is so needed! Once I got the apartment, she called the landlord to make sure he got everything fixed that needed to be. She called me a couple weeks in to see how I was settling. And even called me a month later to make sure I was still enjoying it. You can’t find that kind of personability in any city. I highly recommend going to MyspaceNYC when you’re ready to move. I know I am sending everyone I know!

I’ve been working with Tom to find an apartment and he’s been really helpful. The third apartment he showed me was perfect and he went out of his way to make sure I got in first… of course I didn’t take it because I hadn’t seen enough apartments to know the market and don’t trust brokers, but I’ve since seen about 10 more and he wasn’t lying, it was a good deal. I don’t have the experience of signing something with him, so can’t speak to that, but I’ve decided to put off my search til next month and will be working with him again, and would definitely recommend him to friends and think he’s a trustworthy guy.

EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL BROKERS. Won’t name names specifically, but after learning I’d signed a lease elsewhere via a previous application, agent got nasty and vindictive. Was shocked and appalled.
Work with the folks at Compass NYC — these folks are POLISHED PROFESSIONALS, not sloppy amateurs like the MySpace team. Was treated with respect and dignity with a highly responsive agent there (Ross Brown, I highly recommend him), who bent over backwards to ensure we were happy, despite being challenging applicants.

Review is specifically for Clint Gillenwater.
Clint was awesome. Patient, not pushy at all.
Really good dude and easy to work with.
Found us an awesome apartment after our first choice fell through.
Would work with him again!

Worked with Alexander McCarty to find a place. He was always responsive and made time for us on short notice. Overall a good experience. We’d been looking on Craigslist and many of the Myspace agents post there so we ended up looking with Ben, Robert, and Clint at various points as well — all were responsive and cool.

I had a solid experience with Tom from MySpace NYC. What more can I say?
Going through the apartment rental process (and I have many times) you rarely remember the good experiences, and nearly never forget the bad. Based on that thinking, I’ll soon forget MySpace NYC. Here’s the breakdown of my go with these folks:
1. I found an apartment I liked on Craigslist.
2. I contacted the agent (Tom) and he offered to show the unit to myself and roommates the next day.
3. We saw the place. Liked it. Tom told us about the neighborhood (where he also lives).
4. We deliberated for a few hours before contacting Tom, letting him know we would like to put down a deposit.
5. Tom came all the way from Williamsburg to the Upper East Side at midnight on a Friday to get the pre-​lease paperwork signed.
6. We signed the lease today.
Simple, streamlined, fast. Really, what more could you ask for? (OK, I take it back… I will remember MySpace NYC. Probably the day I decide to rent another place.)
I’ll add one more thing: Tom is a good salesman. Not like some of the other overly salesy, pushy RE agents everyone undoubtedly comes in contact with living in NYC. The ones constantly emphasizing the goods, downplaying the bads. I suppose the best salesmen are the ones who you don’t realize are selling you on something. Tom was casual, honest, friendly, etc. What I’m saying is… go give this man your business, dammit!
I would recommend MySpace NYC to a friend, and will likely use this company again myself.

As any New Yorker knows, finding an apartment, especially during the summer months, is NOT easy, actually it has proven to be the most stressful experience I’ve had in the city. Thankfully, my roommates and I were lucky enough to meet Laura from MySpaceNYC.
There were a few things that made Laura so great that I decided to write a review (which I NEVER do):
1.) She put up with us. My roommates and I are what you would call a broker’s nightmare. One roommate wanted prime location, one roommate wanted every amenity under the sun, and the third roommate (me) was booking all of the appointments, but didn’t actually have much swing when it came to decisions — and on top of that, our budget was menial at best. So poor Laura made it her mission to show me as many apartments as fit our very rigid requirements. Of course, then I would present them to my roommates and they would be swiftly declined for one reason or another, but, she never gave up on us, even when I wanted to.
2.) She was persistent. Even when I wanted to give up on the hunt that seemed impossible, Laura would continue to find apartments that were closer and closer to the crazy standards that we thrust upon her. And in the end, she made the impossible possible, and showed us an apartment in the prime location we wanted, with all of the amenities we needed, still within budget.
3.) She was cool. Throughout the whole search, Laura was really helpful, always available, but always very real — which is important to me. I felt that I could really depend on her opinion, and when she was taking me out to see an apartment, it was thought out — she never disappointed me or made me feel like I was wasting my time.
Anyway, I know this review is very personal, so it might not seem helpful to you — but believe me, you’ll want to work with someone like Laura when you’re looking for apartments, so that you don’t rip your hair out. She’s the best!

It was such a breeze to work with Danielle. She was always so honest, and was super helpful and accommodating in helping us secure our very first New York apartment! Very appreciative to have found someone like her so early in our search, making the whole process much easier. Highly recommended.

I’ve used myspace NYC and Danielle specifically twice now to find year long rentals. Quite a few of my friends have too. I really don’t have enough good things to say. They really listen to what you’re looking for, are reliable, honest, and just very good at their jobs. I can’t wait to move into my new apt and can’t thank them enough for their help, straightforward, and lightening fast communication during what can sometimes be a stressful situation. Most highly recommended.

This review is for Tom Roszkowski.
Tom worked with me and my girlfriend for a few weeks showing us a lot of nice apartments. He would reach out to me when he got new apartments that met our needs and would show us at any time of the day… He made it a personal obligation to find us the apt best suited for our needs. He pointed out details that a lot of brokers skip over including how the landlord is, which is a biggy for me. He also seemed to develop friendly relationships with the current tenants of these apartments and respected their privacy.
We found are place and are moved in! Everything went as smooth as possible thanks to Tom and Myspace NYC… He even let us come see the apt. for a second time while the paper work was still being processed and then checked up to see how it all went after we were moved in.
All in all, this usually stressful process was made much easier with the help of Tom. I would recommend him and Myspace NYC to anyone looking for a new place!

This review is for Ed Chittenden
I am always pretty skeptical about no fee agent/​real estate firms as they have a shady rep. However, Ed went above and beyond, even on his birthday weekend to help us acquire the apartment of our dreams.
And I have to say, finding and locking down an apt when you are halfway across the country is no easy feat but Ed was patient, responsive, and to no avail one of the most ON CALL agents I have ever worked with. When things could have quickly went array, he made sure we had the optimum edge against other potential renters, and would push when things needs to be escalated.
I would hands down, recommend Ed to any person looking to secure an apt in the Brooklyn area and want to thank him for his hard work, dedication, and friendliness to his clients. In less than a week’s time, we had the keys to our dream apt.
Thank you Ed, for everything! We could not have done this without you!

I never thought Id end up using an agency to find an apartment, but I met Barclay with MySpace by way of craigslist and thought why not see what they have? Barclay was extremely diligent and very down to earth. I never felt pressured to commit and he really took time to listen to what I needed and could afford and helped me find a great new place. He walked me through the application process and made it easy. He was totally available with any questions I had through the whole process. If you’re looking for an apartment and don’t know where to start… call him up. ! highly recommended.
