I am looking for some advice and would appreciate any information from anyone who has used Urban Compass. I found the same apartment listed on Street Easy and Urban Compass and had already contacted the broker before discovering it on Urban Compass. My question is should I try to see and possibly get the apartment through Urban Compass because they promise lower broker fees and also my company has a discount on top of that? One question is how would I avoid the shadiness of this? But more importantly, am I just adding another person I am supposed to pay? By contacting through Street Easy I should only have to pay the listing broker. But if I contact through Urban Compass, would I have to pay both the Urban Compass agent and the listing broker? However, would it still be worth it to me because I would be paying a lower fee overall even though I am paying more parties? I am going to try to use this to negotiate with the listing broker I already contacted through Street Easy, but if going through Urban Compass is better for me I will of course pursue that. Looking for any advice or perspective. Thanks! [less]
