Beach House New York Realty

I don’t why I didn’t read these reviews… It could save me time and nerves. First of all, now they located Midtown East and work in coworking place … It had to show me that something wrong. But I wanted to rent apartment as soon as possible. I used a guarantor, because just moved to the US. Micky and his assistant told me that it’s fine. But just right after I sign a forms and paid deposit for myself, a guarantor and $ 500 deposit, they started to talk with me in very rude manner (you don’t have enough documents, how you are going to prove your income etc). I was shocked… After a few days of course they replied me my application was denied. I asked to give me back deposit and they promise to send me it via email. Few weeks later nothing. I asked them what happened. The guy checked it out and (can you believe that?) replied me that an accountant didn’t send me (I’m sure there is no accountant at all) and they gonna fix it immediately. Week layer nothing… Because of my guarantor own his low firm, I wrote to guys I’m gonna ask him what to do in this situation. And in few days I got my check… It was sign and sent by assistant, not accountant. Stay away from these people.

Jonathan is a great broker — he helped me find two great apartments that met my needs and was very kind, considerate, and personal throughout the entire process.
However, the management office is awful. I had to HOUND to get my deposit money back both times — actually, I am STILL waiting for my $ 500 back from July 2015 and the office will not return any of my communications. I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau this week if I don’t here back from Micky by Monday.

We had a wonderul experience with Citispot. They showed us quality apartments and we found a great luxury apartment for an extremely fair price. They gave us a awesome deal and were a pleasure to work with. The signing process of both the application and lease was a breeze and any questions we had were clearly answered. I would recommend using them when looking for a place to call your new home in NYC. All in all I had a very positive experience and will certainly be contacting them regarding my next apartment. Thanks!

I just moved to New York from Ireland and Hillary, one of Citispots agents, made the process so easy for me. I went to view a place and really liked it and she offered to show me other places to make sure i was happy as she knew it was the first place id viewed in New York. She also got back to me with regular updates on how my application was progressing which i really appreciated as i dont have a credit history in the US so was worried i might not get the apartment which thankfully i did and i love!

As bad as it gets. The posting on craigslist appeared as though it was posted by an owner, and when I called, the person on the other end talked to me like he was apart of a management company. When I arrived, the person admitted to being a broker for Citispot. He also admitted that the apartment posted online didn’t even exist! He then tried to show apts. way over my price range so I refused to see any of them. Complete waste of time. As unethical as it gets. Oh and of course the broker was over twenty minutes late.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. They lied to us about how much security would be needed to get our apartment after we spent 1.5 weeks gathering paperwork for this apartment and once our application was granted told us we needed 3 MONTHS SECURITY in escrow. I’ve lived in NYC for years and never have I ever encountered something like this. In addition, we were told NO FEE and (unsuprisingly, seeing these reviews) there was a 1 month fee. Nastiest and sleaziest people I’ve ever worked with. They still haven’t returned my good faith deposit.

Answered an advert on Craigslist saying that they were ‘No-​fee’ brokers for an East Side apartment. ‘Micky’ assured us that he was the cousin of the billionaire owner of the building. Once all the paper work was in and the $ 500 cash deposit paid, Micky told us that someone else had out bid us (by $ 50) and now to secure it we would need to pay a 12% fee and a slightly higher rent quote. We refused, got a nasty text from Micky and only $ 300 of our deposit returned.
These guys are classic scammers, never a name of company officer on any document you get from the company. Its likely that they operate under many different corporate names. Stay away.

I give you fair warning: RUN AWAY!!!
You probably won’t know you are working with «Citispot» because they pretend to be owners. That’s how I found them on Craigslist — I clicked on a «By Owner» ad and wanted to see an apartment.
Upon looking into this further — they have UNLICENSED agents and call them «interns» (and the owners and managers are aware). This is ILLEGAL!
Let’s list the names I figured out (unlicensed/​illegal agents): «Donny», «Jenny», and «Jason» were just a few names I found posting by owner. They also say they «manage buildings». EFFING LIARS.
These guys are scumbags at their finest. There is nothing else to say. Hopefully the state shuts them down. Soon.
