Four years later updating as my neighbor and I have been forced out of our apartments by the DOB due to a slew of violations on the property- the most important ones being the illegal construction of backyard doors and conversion of a storage cellar into dwelling spaces- our bedrooms. Nice clause on the bottom of the broker agreement releasing these folks of any liability after happily telling me I could easily fit a queen sized bed in a death trap. These "expert advisors" are in cahoots with some of the filthiest slumlords in BK. Always check the DOB website for violations certificates of occupancy and landlord watchlists before proceeding.

Note: Today, 4/08/14, I received three voice messages from Melissa with management's contact…read morenumber. Thank you, Mr. Hill for following up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At first BAB seemed like a professional, prompt establishment. However, the agent I worked with, Melissa, basically lied about many details of the apartment I ended up renting and was only out to make her part of the commission. The apartment was being "renovated" when I saw it. Melissa said the landlord would replace everything, put screens in the window and that the apartment came with a ceiling fan in the kitchen. Melissa stated that the landlord is great and the "super" does excellent work. She was very persistent when it came to collecting the deposits and fees, but her dedication fell off shortly afterwards. I requested to see the apartment again before the move in date to ensure all repairs had been made. BAB was unable to make that happen and began diverting my questions to the agent representing the landlord. On my move-in date, the "super" was still repairing the bathroom, there were no refrigerator or stove, the ceiling fan had been replaced with a used light fixture, the windows did not have any screens, and a filthy stove hood was in the kitchen. (The appliances were delivered after 6 PM that evening. Therefore, I didn't have any heat because National Grid could not turn on the gas without a stove.) Over the last month, I have made several requests to have BAB do something about all these issues, but nothing has been done. When I began my complaint to Melissa, she tried to say that she didn't say everything would be "new" or "replaced". She basically just stopped responding to me. At that time, Ernest became the contact person, and he assured that everything would be taken care of. He claimed to have contacted the landlord's agent and more useless promises were made. I was told that the super would replace the hood and install the screens "when the weather got warmer". I recently followed up with the super and he told me that he doesn't install screens. Communication has been horrible. They haven't even been able to supply a contact number for management...just the address to mail monthly rent checks. This has been a disappointing experience. My next step will be contacting a lawyer to see what my rights are concerning this mishap. I have a huge paper trail to document everything. It's great to see how wonderful BAB has been for everyone else...wish it could have been for me as well.

I found nick and Brendan through someone who has used them and said they were by far the best to go to in NYC. This was the best recommendation I have had by far. They were MORE than helpful and only show apartments they know are worth their clients time. They are super low pressure (unlike everyone else) and they do all the hard stuff, takes away the headache. PLEASE do not go on street easy and waste your time. Go through them, they are the only people who are not trying to scam you and are genuine people who get the grind of New York. I would give 100000 stars if I could!!!!

Chris's performance as a mortgage finance man, is simply outstanding. He work's hard to find you the lowest rate, and sees the job through to the end of the purchase.

If you need help in purchasing a home, I would strongly advise you to call Chris-no bank will match his level of personal, attentive service.
