NYT listings as bad as Craigslist

Discussion about
Everyday there are dozens of new listings for just my little subset (2BR, moderate price on UWS) despite the fact that there are actually very very few new listings. But the same apartments are listed by multiple agents and on multiple days. For example, if you went by the listings there are several dozen vacant 2BR apartments in the James Tower (101 W. 90th) (I would argue NYT is worse since at least Craigslist is a fast and snappy website. It takes you a lot less time to figure out you are wasting your time looking at it.)

Why don't you work with an agent who works in the area you want to move in? Clearly your searching on your own is not working out.

I can remember when I used to jump back and forth between SE and NYT. Now, why bother? I do however get a kick out of seeing a "new listing" in the Times that had been pulled after 300 days on the market and then trotted out as something new and exciting! Ha! Gotta love it!

But, don't the ads in NYT cost over $200 per ad? I always figured that the cover charge would keep out the majority of the craigslist hucksters.

The limitation of streeteasy on the rental side is their limiting listings to exclusives. Some really great properties never will make it onto se. Hence the need for a good agent.

I have started working with a broker. Guess what they do. Send me copies of open listings that I have seen languishing on SE for months. Or, of course, the same listings from the James Tower (or 323 w. 96th, or... etc.).

And this isn't one of the CH jokers but a long time agency that specializes in the UWS. (I used them 20 years ago and again 10 years ago, though the 2nd time I found a place on my own and not through them).

So much for all that super-secret, relationship-oriented, broker only assistance that they claim is worth a month of my salary.

You're obviously not using the right broker. And if our fee equals a month's salary for you, then you've got worse problems than finding a good place to live.

Jimmy, why don't you add something useful to the conversation (like answering the question I asked) rather than bickering with CC? You should recommend an UWS broker you've had a good experience with to AvUWS.

Ar, I found plenty of equally outrageous comments from you towards other posters. Unfortunately streeteasy chose to delete the thread right after I put a few up. Now I'm using my blackberry which would make doing it again unwieldy. But you liked it and you know it. Else you wouldn't be back and weighing in. Like the attention whore you are.

honesy, no. you are so wrong. as to that carpet thread you referred to, even printer who has nothing good to say about me thought the commentary was unwarranted.

what a stupid argument. if i ignore you, i'm not the attention whore? if i defend myself i am?

i'm sorry, telling someone that you think their ideas are crazy shit (particularly if you've been having to read horribly misrepresented sources incessantly) is different than asking a poster if her daughter is still selling herself near the methadone clinic.

you have zero justification for what you wrote last night. zero.

Also, why would you even bring up your daughter and the methodone clinic? Don't you have any boundaries about your family's privacy? Or at least your under age daughter? Let me guess, you would be ok having your daughter around W67.

We know your husband can take care of himself - for example, his father died and he handled it alone while you vacationed in Rome.

And your daughter will probably turn out fine, despite what you've said about her publicly and what damage you might continue to do based on your meddling and the way that you've structured a legal contract to control all of her life and money.

But you are still damaged goods - trailer trash background as you've so freely admitted, father who you hate, mother who you can't even talk about, and free education that you were obviously unprepared to take advantaqge of if the results are any indication.

Listen, we hope the best for your family. Unfortunately, on that count, we might be in conflict with you, right?
