For those of you looking to work with a broker I highly suggest staying away from Ty Byrd from Aventana. Not only did he make it out like I was in the clear for an apartment i put down my deposit of $500 and was on time with everything i had been asked to do. To start instead of charging the agreed upon $500 he charged $520 without my permission. He said he would refund the $20 which he didn't... [more]
For those of you looking to work with a broker I highly suggest staying away from Ty Byrd from Aventana. Not only did he make it out like I was in the clear for an apartment i put down my deposit of $500 and was on time with everything i had been asked to do. To start instead of charging the agreed upon $500 he charged $520 without my permission. He said he would refund the $20 which he didn't without much of an excuse as to why he charged an extra $20. Then once my background and credit cleared I waited for over 2 weeks to get a lease. They finally said they were changing the lease and going to charge an extra $150 a month unless i signed the lease for two weeks prior than I had put the offer in. I decline as I didn't feel they were going to be easy to work with. $150 is $150 and doable but i was unimpressed with the professionalism. From there i requested both my credit score i paid for as well as my deposit back. It has been over a month and we have exchanged e-mails weekly where Ty swears the check is in the mail yet i have not gotten. It. Not only do i feel his professionalism is horrid, he has downright lied to me. NEVER USE him if you want my opinion! [less]
This how my deal went with the Same agent
Client Taylor Joss apartment Rent East 13th Street Having Dealt with Multiple other Brokers in this apartment searching process, Ty and Aventana could not have done a better job. I will and have recommended Aventana to collegues and Friends. Ty and Aventana Surely distinguished themselves from the rest of the competition Great work!!! Follow up from same client after the move in; Ty, Met the super, got my keys and am all set to move in this weekend. Can''t tell you how much I appreciate all your help here. In terms of the other brokers I dealt with (and believe me I met with a lot), you were without a doubt the most helpful, knowledgeable and reliable - you pretty much dwarfed the competition. I''ll keep referring everyone I know to you and in the case I''m looking to move in a year, you''ll be the first guy I call. Thanks again and best of luck. -Taylor
autobiography?
Ty, thats a fine reference. What's your side of the story on what went down with MHG? Did you eventually give the $520 back?
3 points for reviving an old dead thread, showing your integrity and embarrassing yourself.
Taylor: I am sure Ty Bird appreciated your glowing recommendation. However when you use the poster name' tybird', it leads everyone to believe that Ty Bird himself registered using his own name-- perhaps unaware that it would appear in the text-- and wrote the glowing reference himself!! Perhaps since the only thing that anyone cares about is that MHG gets his money back, perhaps you can get Ty Bird to messenger it over to him today so this thread won't take on a life of its own.
so much promise, so early in the morning...
Welcome to the shark pool, Ty.
No, no ... it's much better than that! This sleazy one-broker brokerage has "testimonials" on its website, just like a used car dealer's website or something of that sort, and this Bird just cut & pasted the ridiculously alliterate garble of words from the Lehigh Junior Community College graduate whom he presumably met at a Murray Hill postfrat party.
By the way, as noted on the site, Ty Bird is fluent in ... English!
Re: thread taking on a life of its own, I think some of the SE regulars should commit to bumping the thread frequently so that good old Ty stays near the top on the Latest Discussions list until we hear that MHG got his money back. I'm in. 'nada, apt23?
pay up ty--or you will pay here
we have fun with scum like you
ill bet ty turd never did a credit check--just pocketed the money--prob used a shill apt just to take your 520$
look at the volume of fake listings on the website
yeah that "testimonial" was a hoot! I had to read it 3 times to figure out what was being said due to the weird and improper capitalization of random words. Due to the impeccable grammar I realized this could only have been written by a broker! LOL!
Nothing like recommending yourself and saying great you are. LOL
interesting thast the two testimonoals, alleged to be from different clients, were both written using the same excellent grammar
ty byrd the turd
hey mhg---status on your refund??
Ty - please share your contact details. We are all dying to use you. Where do we donate our unwanted cash?
Stanford Park Apartment Rented 112 West 15th Street apt 1 Ty Did a Great Job in Finding us the expected apartment we where looking for. He understood our needs and was able to reach a deal that both we and the landlord were happy with. I would highly recommend Ty to anyone looking for an apartment. He is professional and understands the needs of his Clients and will get the job done!!
Tybyrd: You are killing yourself here. At least you dropped the pretense that you are not the one blowing smoke up your own behind but you need to understand that there is a claim here that you did not return money to a client. You need to refute that with a legal claim or give the guy the money back. Considering how important this site is to NY RE, it would be smart to just send the money to MHG and let him say so on this site. It will be worth it to your reputation in the long run.
Anyone want to take a crack at writing a glowing review for Ty? so he can cut and paste it into this forum. I know we have some excellent writers here....
It would be great if the unicorn writer could write a deposition on his experience with tybyrd.
tybyrd is so clearly not Ty Byrd. I'm sure he's/she's one of the SE irregulars ... but he/she packs a lot of meaning in every cut and paste!
a: It's either really ty or it's the OP. Nobody else would look up a 5 week old thread.
ty byrd has listings on SE... so it's 90%+ him.
unbelievable. to sink to the level of making up fake client testimonies to try to cover up unethical behavior is incredibly low. this ty byrd person sounds like a complete, delusional loser and any brokers who know him should really try to straighten him out, it's really hurting the profession! it would be funny if it were a joke, but his complete refusal to address MHG's claims and to somehow think his fake client testimonials will save his reputation borders on psychotic... wow.
spaceboy, you are wrong, various people revive old threads for amusement
Why wouldnt you call the ny real estate board or the D.A. it sounds like he stole your money.
What's the extra $20 for?
That, my good man, is the surcharge for a moment with the T-Bird. The T-Bird, as you may remember for the Movie American Graffiti, is more a metaphor for lost youthful unfulfillment.
If I am not mistaken...you were thoroughly....unfulfilled
Your welcome.
Tybird, you may have to drop the 'fluent' in English. If you're going to write your own reviews, the correct usage of 'where' versus 'were' is very important. Unless of course your clients don't speak fluent English, then that's another matter completely.
"Finding us the expected apartment we where (sic) looking for."
Guys, its pronounced T-bone
I think I'm going to call you Cocoa.
these are the clearly the most Captivating and Convincing testimonials ever to grace the almighty streeteasy board. who could Doubt such mastery of the Language of english!
Kruger will never stand for 2 Cocoas....
sounds like he runs a real tight ship!
lol, now this is funny ;) but looks like t-bird, t-bone, cocoa or whatever he's going by these days is not crawling out from under his rock.
It's Koko, dammit, like the gorilla. And I thought I was dealing with proper NYers here. Amateurs.
Koko is da bomb.
to "ty one on"
means to have come upon a naive person who is trying to rent an apt
as in:
"how was your day?"
"awesome, i tyed on two really good ones today, should be an easy $1040"
right, koko the monkey! No here Kruger!
Now for the airing of grievances. Kuger, my son tells me your company stinks.
Then feats of strength?
it's permanent festivus on SE. long live the board
on a banal Thursday ahead of a long weekend Fri, entertaining.
I dont understand how this Dying Bird can post his own praises but still not return MHG's moola. I guess he doesnt understand SE will keep his name on the front page till MH tells us its settled!!
Oh yeah, the jerkstore called, and they're running out of you.
lol SkinnyNsweet
Independence Day really gets one wondering about brokers like this.
I agree alanhart, we should bump this thread on this Independence Day for no other reason.
See you here tomorrow for the bump again.
I think what all of you jackals are missing in the op's original statement is where the he uses the worf "offer". Ad in "I am offering 150 per month LESS in rent AND was requesting a move in two weeks further out than the landlord wanted. This asshole was reaching, and didn't get what he wanted and is now blaming a broker who took a nonrefuindable deposit.
worf? (useless bump)
Jim, I didn't actually read that quote that you quoted.
Hi alanhart. Does the hart win, or the bran? Age old question.
WTF are you talking about Jim, bad batch of meth? The only other explanation that I can think of is that you are Ty Byrd and are giving the other half of the story...
Ty: Hey guy, you should return the money before there are 400 posts here proclaiming that you are an ass. Really. It can't be worth it to a professional.
Ty Bird--TB for short--a nasty bacteria
Jonesey, I thought youd chime in--figures youd mention your non-refundable deposit policy--bet you make most of your money pocketing those $$ from people who have to move on lest they get tired of hearing of great deals you cant produce
Where Ty turd is a bacteria, you are a parasite
Is it whitebottom? Widebottom maybe?
the coup de gras final ingredient for the recipe would be a sprinkling of gay-bashing
a highly appreciated flavor-enhancement for restaurant-goers in this part of the world
keep writing, you show your colors well jonesy, and they are beautiful
i think it's pretty obvious that it's W shaped bottom... oh well nevermind.
jim_hones10 you are an interesting animal - so you wouldn't hold the deposit, that is a GOOD thing. But then you go on to defend a broker who would. Each time you show a slight bit of integrity, you blow it with a stupid attitude or BS like the gay bashing - does that make you feel better?
And no this shouldn't be illegal, unless it was untrue. So the OP hasn't returned after a month and a half but neither has Mr. Byrd showed up to offer any points of view.
Hey Jim, what firm do you work for? just curious
Steve Holt!
I am not defending this broker, I'm attacking those of you who heard one side of a story and think its ok tto continue to damage his reputation. Splaken, I'm smart, that's why I return the deposits. Who needs something like this happening?
hey jonesy
keep writing--you continually illuminate for all what a complete piece of shlt you are
and think of me when youre life takes a big old hit
your karma says it's coming very soon
Oooooh, scary. Bottom, those that live in glass houses.....
my house over your's anytime jonesy
we know much of you, and you goin nowhere fast
enjoy the ride youve plotted for yourself
jim_hones10, thank you for sharing your opinion with the board.
... but please elaborate.
perhaps you should try a drinking game. every time you use your favorite word, ie. cocksucker, take a shot.
Shots are kind of collegiate. Did need a drink though.....cc, why don't you stop by and introduce yourself as well?
What color rug are you wearing today?
Are you projecting alan? My hairline doesn't require any help. Your welcome to join. You and cc can do so soco shots if you'd like
Or cuervo if you want to get crazy
still beating the T-Bird?
ENUF!
What is 'soco'? Standards Of Conduct Office?
So soco shots are when people get to shoot any brokers who violate standards of conduct? That's pretty much all of you, though.
I was wondering but didn't have the guts to ask. Thanks.
Really columbiacounty, you didn't have the guts to ask?
I thin fuck you means you have to grab a beer chaser.
another score by columbiacounty!
hey i missed you at the bar columbia...i kept looking for small, ugly bastards.
Maybe he's crossed the Hudson?
certainly not anywhere as posh as where i was tonight.
wait, if we go on FOR SURE him and others will think we are the same poster.
hey jonesy, have fun out there schlepping rentals in the heat
I bet your rap about what a great rental broker you are gets you lots of play at gramercy!!
in your "suit"--how's the glue holding up in the heat? jonesy: the rental-broker/connoisseur of fine things
keep writing--you represent yourself beautifully
Maybe he and Ty Byrd were shot per soco
geriatric cooling center?
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change.
Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
And the bird you cannot change.
And this bird you cannot change.
Lord knows I can't change.
Bye bye baby it's been a sweet love.
Yea yea
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it so badly
'Cause the lord knows I'm to blame.
But if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change.
Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
And this bird you cannot change.
And this bird you cannot change.
Lord knows I can't change.
Lord help me I can't change.
Lord I can't change
Won't you fly high free bird yea.
Hey, a skynard fan. Good for you.
Pretty funny stuff I must say, the Geriatric Cooling Center, coming on top of the Standard of Conducts Office humor and that Dr. Paine, DDS too!
By the way alanhart, good job bumping the thread after no comments all day. Score for you!
Well every buddy's heard, about the tyrd
t-t-t-tyrd tyrd tyrd,
tyrd is the word,
t-t-t-tyrd, tyrd,
tyrd is the word ...
alan....you're cracking me up!!!!
Why thank you falco, thank you very kindly.
I wonder if OP has received his check in the mail yet?
You just can't buy this kind of publicity!
Good job again alanhart, keeping this fresh. Good for you, another score.
True that, Maly.
Upperwest renter, your turn.
falco - absolutely hysterical.
Check it out, j ho 10 got troll controlled. j ho 09 has company now.
Wow, along with the comms, columbiacounty, and rufus.
And me.
Yes, you too.
and CC and alan somehow got matching stalker trolls simultaneously. wtf?
Note:alanbran is yet another manifestation of hfs. Also greenecounty. And I have been on the banned list sice the big blow up with hfs.
Columbiacounty, re-post one thoughtful post you've had within the past several days that was NOT an attack on someone, or a suggestion of a bus hitting someone.
Nothing?
