Tony Messiena: The furthest I got with this guy was one phone call but he pissed me off enough to write my first CitySearch review. Totally rude. Made me feel like an idiot, and then practically hung up the phone on me. I emailed him regarding a listing at $1800/mo, couple hundred dollars underneath my budget. I told him what that my budget was $2000 a month, and he told me, rudely and annoyed, that the best I’m going to get is a studio. Hmm, funny, because his listing on craigslist was a 2 BEDROOM. I’m not an idiot. I’ve been scouring the manhattan apartment market for a while now and I know his listing was very underpriced and probably unreal. But I figured why not check it out, and I’m sorry I did. He actually hung up the phone on me at the end of our brief conversation. \r

Don’t get me wrong. I’m from the midwest so I take a little differently to hotshot New Yorker attitudes than those who’ve been living here their whole lives. But this guy was a whole new level of impatient and rude. He works in a business that’s 100% based off of dealing with people and word of mouth yet he clearly lacks the people skills. \r

Good luck selling any apartments, asshole.
