I moved to NYC from Philadelphia and I thought I knew what I was getting into here. Well, I was completely wrong - the housing situation and everything about the rental process is completely different. NYC is overwhelming and the real estate market is insane! I tried to do it on my own since I was nervous to contact a broker because of all the broker horror stories you hear (plus a broker is not something you need in Philadelphia so I thought ?why would I need one in NYC??). As I started my apartment search, I realized immediately that I couldn?t do it on my own and after speaking with Emily Wilk, my concerns were put to rest. Emily was very helpful and responsive.
