Apartment brokers exploit their knowledge of the Manhattan rental market by charging thousands of dollars in broker fees. In New York City, the standard broker fee is 15% of a full years rent.  For example: an apartment with a monthly rent of $1,500 results in a yearly rent of $18,000 and a broker fee of $2,700. That's $2,700 you could have saved!



Apartment brokers tell a handful of lies about everything from square footage to “this one will be gone before the weekend is over”. They make it harder for people to find apartments who don’t use brokers. This is what we aim to prevent, and want to help renters realize they can find a great no fee apartment- without a broker!
