CNYC Properties, LLC

This place is all flash and no substance. I was introduced to them b/​c I found an open house via Street Easy. The owner, Christy, talked a big game about how her firm will go out of their way to help us find a place, especially since the open house was rented by other party right away. That didn’t happen until after I called multiple times and pressed them. I ended up renting another unit in the same bldg but was I shocked at how little these agents know about the bldgs they’re selling (for instance they didn’t know that laundry facilities were in the bldg… ummm BIG selling point). Once the lease was signed, Christy told me to call if I needed anything. Well the apartment was not ready on time so I called her to see what my options were but she never answered. When I finally spoke with one of her employees, her response was, «What are we supposed to do?» Oh, and they provide «specialty concierge services» with a number of vendors, like Ikea delivery and Time Warner. When we tried using said concierge services, they either didn’t call back or we were told that discount offer was no good.

STAY AWAY! My roommate and I used their services to find our first NYC apartment. The sales agent lied about multiple features on the apartment. When we reached out to the person who runs CNYC, Christie Yamron, she was evasive and refused to take, or respond to, our calls. We’ve lodged formal complaints against them and would caution anyone else against using them.
It’s companies like CNYC and individuals like Christie Yamron that give NYC real estate agents the stereotypically shoddy reputation they have.

These girls know what they’re doing!

I’ve become quite familiar with the cut throat moving process & apartment searches of NYC in my 5 years here. This year’s challenges included brokers trying to put me in places that were wildly over my budget or in undesirable neighborhoods, and simply ignoring the few things that I was looking for in my future apartment… Until I met Lindsay. We started corresponding via email on the Saturday of a holiday weekend. Her first email was detailed but concise, describing what we needed to move forward, the companies awesome concierge services, and asking for additional information as to what I wanted. By Sunday, she was confirming viewings and Monday we met up and looked at five awesome apartments. I had also been told by other brokers that viewing apartments on this particular Monday would be «nearly impossible» because of the holiday. Well not for Lindsay. Each and every one of the places she showed me I would happily live in. I had written off elevator buildings as a luxury simply because of my budget and she was able to find 5 elevator buildings in my budget. After our day of viewing, I decided to go with the first apartment she showed me and she facilitated the application process and walked me through everything start to finish. It was a pleasure to work with someone who was so great at her job. Never thought I’d find stress-​free nyc apartment searching. I highly recommend Lindsay!

Bari ROCKS!!!
We met on a Saturday and it was an instant hit. Bari was personable, professional and totally got what I was looking for. That day didn’t feel like «apartment hunting» at all. We actually found a great apartment and began the process of an offer and subsequent paperwork. To say the road was rough would be an understatement. (no fault of Bari’s) Through it all Bari was in my corner. I never worried through anything because I knew Bari had my back. I felt comfortable and taken care of. Bari made me feel like I was her only client.
I’ve heard so many experiences from friends of awful broker experiences but thanks to Bari, I had the best experience finding this apartment. It was so clear that Bari only cared about getting me into an apartment I would like.
I would absolutely reccomend Bari and CNYC to anyone looking for apartments in NYC.

Noelle was an excellent broker and made flying in for weekend of apartment hunting seamless and efficient. I gave her a very specific list of locations and price ranges (tight budget for the city) and everywhere she took me fell with in the specifications. Also, coming from across country for just one weekend required a lot of email correspondence and Noelle was always timely and concise with her responses. Ultimately, she helped me find a great, no fee apartment, at a better price then I had hoped to for. I absolutely recommend Noelle to anyone looking for a broker.

I worked with both Lindsay and Jacqueline and they were wonderful. I really can’t say enough positive things about my experience with both ladies. They gave me great attention and were so prompt in their replies via email, phone, and text. I was definitely an extremely picky apartment-​hunter and they went out of their way to show me what was available, which was much appreciated. I would 100% use them both again should I ever need to.

My roommate and I recently went to CNYC looking for a place with a considerable list of wants between us. Given how tough the Manhattan real estate market is, we knew we would likely have to make multiple sacrifices before signing a lease… or so we thought.
Christie helped us out and took us to four apartments. All four of the places she took us to were significantly better than any of the locations we had seen in our online searches (including bait and switch false listings) and in person. She was honest every step of the way and did not sugarcoat things or mislead us. The first place she took us to was the place we ended up signing at and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.
Although we had initially hoped to find a place without using a broker, Christie and CNYC were so helpful in finding us an apartment that fit exactly what we wanted that we happily paid the very reasonable broker fee.
I like my place enough now that I don’t think I’ll be moving anytime soon, but whenever I decide to move again I’ll be going back to CNYC.
