Home New York

David Hamburg finally sent me a check. and it BOUNCED. I had to hire a lawyer. He now owes me the original amount plus the $ 12 fee the bank charged me for the bad check.
It gets even more ridiculous. David tells my lawyer he will only pay HALF of the $ 12 bank charge (he is haggling over $ 6!) and return my money ONLY IF: (1) I take down this Unilocal review and (2) sign a contract saying I will never put this Unilocal review back up.
I want to be clear: David Hamburg, employee of Home New York, is holding $ 87 of my hard earned money RANSOM to bully me into taking down this Unilocal review.
David– I wrote this review to warn people about you and Home New York. That is the whole purpose of Unilocal.If you feel this review deters people away from you, then you only have yourself to blame. If you had not been a liar and a thief, I would not be taking the time to warn other people about you. But, I believe in redemption and might consider taking this review down if you personally apologize, return the $ 87 you owe me plus the lawyer’s fee, and promise that you’ll try to be a decent human being from now on.
As long as this review is still up, it means that David Hamburg has not apologized and has stolen $ 87 of my hard earned money.

As another review mentions below, don’t expect your application fee back if you aren’t able to get an apartment or pick another. I can confirm that they will be exceedingly difficult when it comes to getting your money back, even if you get a lawyer involved. They will send you a bad check and David refused to pay until a negative Unilocal review was taken down and an agreement was signed saying that it would not be re-​posted. Perhaps David is just an anomaly but I’d steer clear.

Ken is great! Don’t bother with anyone else. He doesn’t just find you an apartment, he finds a place for you to live.

Strongly recommend broker, David Hamburg with Home New York. We are not new to the process of finding and apartment in NYC. No place in the country like it. Finding a professional, forthright and reputable broker is the first and most important step. David has all those qualities. He was accommodating, polite and went the extra mile to assure that we were taken care of and walked us through the process. The best part was that he made us feel like we the most important people at the time and his actions followed up on that. Can’t go wrong with David and Home New York.

Adelina from Home New York has been a super helpful and super friendly broker, assisting me and my wife in our search for a new home in the city. She is patient, diligent in her background research on the places we see, and in co-​broker situations she always knows all the right questions to ask of the other agent, making sure that we get all the important details into the light. I can highly recommend working with her.

Working with Home NY was a fluid experience. Their ineffable professionalism and real-​time listings search engine is a blessing in an era filled with false ads and dishonest brokers. Plus, Jeff, Phil, and their extended team have a down-​to-​earth NY charisma about them. You really get a sense that they work and play in the city and are passionate about the opportunities it has to offer to both new and existing residents.
With Manhattan vacancy at an all-​time low, you need sagacious brokers that will put in a good word with management on your behalf and an extra hour or two in the office to get the job done. That’s Home NY, a team for whom all cases get assiduous attention.
I highly recommend :-)

We searched for an apartment with Sebastian, and he was great! Good experience, and we will definitely use Home NY again.

We relocated from LA recently. After talking to a few brokers and getting frustrated with attitude, rudeness and un-​professional behavior, we found Eric Lefebvre of Home New York. He showed us 5 apartments in half a day, all quality places.
Eric was very nice, pleasant and very professional.
He stayed with us throuchout the whole process and gave us a lot of useful and fun insights into NY.
Jeff the COO was also great with communications. Go straight to HOME NEW YORK and look for Eric.

Hands down best experience with this company and broker Chris Corbin. I found Home New York on Criegs list. One of there brokers, Chris Corbin, posted an ad for an apt in Fidi that my roomate and I were interested in looking at. When I went down there to look at the place with Chris, I wasn’t a huge fan of the apt, but started to talk with Chris about what I was really looking for. Right away he took me to a few other apartments nearbye that were much more my style and found a perfect one, but of course if was gone within the hour. Later that week, my roomate and I compiled a list of about 50 «must haves» in our new apartment and sent it over to Chris. He took the list with pleasure and set out to find us the perfect apt. That weekend I met up with him again and he has a solid 30 apartments picked out for us to look at that were all in our budget, followed our «must haves» list and were in great buildings. Of course the first apartment I saw was amazing and I fell in love, but we went to all 30 of the apartments at my request and eneded up finding the most amazing perfect apartment. Right away we got the papers filed, the logistics worked out and any issues that occured Chris quickly sorted out! Two days later my friends were looking for a broker and I introduced them to Chris and of course he instantly found them the perfect place also! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recomend Home New York and Chris Corbin to help you with any home searches! He is honest, accomidating, helpful, and has his clients best intersts in mind. There is no one else I would ever recomend or use!
