We highly recommend Peter Cossio of HRG if you're considering selling your house in Hoboken. The…read moreprocess of putting your home on the market is always stressful, but with Peter we felt confident about the plan, the marketing and the successful sale. Our 150 yr old row house, previously converted to a 4 family, with driveway, garage and rear carriage house required a strategic analysis and creative marketing plan. Peter's deep understanding of Hoboken real estate and big picture market trends were invaluable in bringing the property to market and then contract within weeks. Peter was professional, straight forward and transparent about his process as he guided and advised us on every detail along the way. He counseled us on how to prep the property and was a great resource in helping us find just the right people to work with. Peter's passion for architecture and knowledge of historic homes is infectious and a great asset in showing and selling buildings of historic importance, of which there are many in Hoboken. We highly recommend him. Ada + Jon

No matter what you do, stay away from Hudson Property Management (HPM). They present themselves as…read morea modern mgmt company with a flashy web portal where residents and condo board members can put work orders in, but it is all just flash. HPM has terrible service, instead of sending a person to oversee problems and repairs, they send "protocol", documents that are full of disclaimers to remind owners that HPM is not responsible for anything, and you are on your own. When water is pouring into your apartment, the last thing you need is a document called "leak protocol". When a major event occurs in your building, you need somebody from the management company on site to oversee the incident, you don't need a protocol document to tell you that you are on your own. The brothers that own HPM, are seriously bombastic AF. Ask the poor Parking utility guy that was simply trying to buy lunch at Fiore's a few months ago when he got aggressively harassed by one of the brothers who was pissed that he got a parking ticket. Or ask any of the multiple unit owners who've been aggressively yelled at by the brothers that "your building is a piece of shit, you are lucky that we are managing it for you" HPM Refuses to share financial documents with unit owners, in order to see anything financial related you must go to the HPM office in person during business hours, you must view them on a monitor, you cannot take pictures, you cannot take notes, you cannot pass go, you cannot collect $200, and they stand over you while viewing the docs. At the first sign of snow each year, many management companies will send out a notice reminding you to be careful, letting you know when your entryway will be shoveled, and letting you know how to contact them if there's an emergency. At the first sign of snow each year, HPM sends out a disclaimer reminding you that HPM is not responsible for any injuries or for clearing the sidewalks or for anything. Need your lightbulbs changed, no problem, put in a work order and HPM is sure to have the bulb changed within a few months , yes MONTHS. Moving in? Moving out? You need to pay HPM a $300 "non-refundable inspection fee", this is to have somebody from HPM come to your building to look at the walls after you move. Sure, maybe you can justify this as a service fee, but HPM will never actually show up to do that inspection. Damage in the building's hallway? No problem, just open a work order and HPM will send somebody out in 4 to 6 months to take care of the damage. Maybe they will fix it right the first time, but probably not. HPM has their own cleaning business that does things like taking your garbage out or cleaning the building. Watch out, they will make your building look worse than it looked before they cleaned. Want to rent your unit out, HPM will harass you to pay them for unit management services. HPM is shady AF, they frequently hide work orders on their portal and they have stopped showing the dates that entries were made on the portal (so you can't figure out how long it takes them to get stuff done). Have an opinion about HPM? Post a review? Want to share it on the Internet? Maybe put it on Reddit? Get ready, you will get harassing threats from HPM's lawyer "remove your review or we will sue you" They are full of excuses, their service is terrible, they are a disgrace that will run your building into the ground.

I am writing to follow up on the review I posted about the management on google . I appreciate that…read moreyou responded to my review; however, I need to address several inaccuracies and provide additional context. Firstly, I understand that the owner's responsibility includes paying for repairs within their unit. My original request was for the management to address issues in the common areas, specifically the hallways. Other tenants have been moving beds through these hallways uncovered, leading to a bed bug infestation throughout the building. Despite this being a clear management responsibility, my requests were ignored until I involved the health department, who then mandated immediate action. Regarding your response, you are correct that Adam was the exterminator. The manager I referred to in my complaint was Eric, who was extremely rude. As someone who works in property management, I am fully aware of the distinction between owner and management responsibilities. Additionally, I recently had a plumbing issue which a plumber identified as originating from another apartment. Despite calling at least four times and leaving multiple voicemails, my calls went unanswered. I have attached screenshots showing my call history, which contradicts your claim that there are no records of my calls. Each voicemail was over a minute long. Furthermore, I submitted several work orders that also went unanswered. It was only after contacting Donald, the president of the board, that any action was taken, and I am currently awaiting his follow-up. It is unreal for me to have to escalate issues to this level, especially when I pay for management services to handle common areas and building issues. Worse management company. I see they got sued already. I can't wait to potentially do the same! See below for each time I called and left a voicemail with no response.

I am sitting in my new home, in my new living room that I love as I write this review. Sooooo you…read morecan already tell I have good things to say. 5 stars doesn't seem to be enough for how helpful Alison was in finding me my next home. She took everything I was hoping to find in a new apartment and showed me all of my options. I was in a bit of a time crunch with just over a month to find a place before my current lease was up, I have a dog and have a pretty tough budget I was hoping to not exceed. All of that, in addition to me being extremely picky (as you should be with a decision as big as where you'll be living!!) led to a stressful search before beginning to work with her. She sent me numerous listings daily, didn't push me when I decided to pass on seeing some, drove me to and from most showings and, in the end, found me a fantastic place. I went from scouring Zillow nearly all day, every day, to finally being able to relax and feel assured Alison would see and send me everything that was available. Working with her was incredibly easy and I felt like I was going through the process with a friend the entire time. She is professional, kind and extremely patient. She was always easy to get in touch with either by phone or a text and answered every question I had. I couldn't recommend working with her more!

Highly recommend Kim S. at Halstead if you're looking for a rental in Hoboken!!!…read more I've works with a handful of agents in Hoboken/Jersey City and Kim was, by far, THE BEST!!! She is very professional and knows who she is working for! Kim was patient in showing my fiance and I a number of places, but she was aggressive with the other agents in getting us to see places as soon as they were on the market. She got a feeling for what we were looking for and didn't push as AT ALL. She actually told us some places were too small and we wouldn't be happy with them. It was nice to know that even though we were paying her for her services she let us make the decision from start to finish (something you don't find with many, if any, agents). Use KIM S....she was amazing!!!

Pat Severino is incredibly unprofessional. I saw one of his apartments in Hoboken in late July. I…read morewas interested in the unit and let his agent know. I was instructed to call Pat in the office to go sign a lease and make a deposit. I did so on a Friday morning and arranged to come in about an hour later. Upon walking into Severino Real Estate, I met Pat. He had a bit of food stuck to his lip. He initially asked if we wanted to get started with the deposit, but I asked him to see the lease first (as any conscious person would do before giving money for an apartment). I sat down with my partner to read through the lease to make sure everything was correct. I noticed a handful of issues: the lease was missing an apartment number, it said no pets were allowed (despite his agent and his super telling me my pet would be allowed), and it asked me to agree that the unit was in good condition (before it was done being renovated). I also realized that the security deposit was 1.5 months' rent instead of 1 month, so I went outside to call my father to discuss funds. When I walked back in, Pat said "take your time" reviewing the lease, insisting that I be 100% sure that I want it. After double checking the lease one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything, I asked to go over my questions with Pat. I asked if we could edit the lease to say that my cat would be allowed in the unit, to add the unit number, and to add the word "will" to the section about inspecting the property to verify it was in good condition. I also asked to increase the amount of notice that I would be given at the end of the lease for showings (it said "1 hour"). Pat said it was a boiler plate lease and that he hadn't even read it (which is a red flag for a landlord/broker). He seemed to have no issues with the requested changes in principle, but he wouldn't actually make any changes to the lease - not even adding the unit number. Instead, he simply said I "seemed hesitant" about the unit. I said I was very interested in the unit but wanted to make sure the lease accurately reflected the agreement we were making. Towards the end of the conversation (which was entirety calm and respectful), he insisted that I take a look at the unit one more time the next day, Saturday, once he expected the renovation to be done. I said I wanted to sign the lease right there as long as we could make the few small changes to it (the pet, the inspection). He again repeated that I seemed hesitant and gave me his cell phone number and the super's number, telling me to see the unit on Saturday and then call him on his cell phone. He also admitted that he hadn't even looked at the financial information I had submitted or run my credit, yet he had drafted a lease with my name on it for me to sign. I asked if there was a risk of me losing the place in the meantime, he said no, that he would hold it for me. So I agreed to his suggestion, even shaking hands on said agreement. On Saturday, I called the super around 10:30am and saw that unit again at 11:30am. Afterwards, I called Pat on his cell phone. He didn't answer so I left a message. Given that my lease was ending in 2 days, I texted him a couple hours later. He sent back a response saying that he had other applicants that had higher income, he would need to review my application on Monday, and that I had a lot of "issues" with the apartment. As a result of this delay, I was forced to pay for and put my belongings into storage as I was not going to get keys in time to move my things in directly. On Monday, I didn't hear back, so I called his office. I was told that a decision would be made by that afternoon or Tuesday morning. Tuesday by noon I hadn't heard anything, so I called the office again. I spoke with Pat Severino Sr. and was told the Pat we had worked with was out of the office. I was told that the unit had been given to another applicant, a single woman. Pat Sr. said that his son had told him about the meeting we had and that we were being "difficult" when reviewing the lease with his son. Pat Sr. did a fairly good job listening to my concerns, but this still does not compensate for the frustration and financial damages this interaction has caused me. I am still confused as to what happened in this situation. It is either unprofessionalism, laziness, ineptitude, discrimination, a serious case of personal insecurity, or a combination of these. If you are going to take the time to read your lease or ask any questions about it, don't go through this broker. He is an insincere, unprofessional disaster.

Had an extremely negative experience with Frank Debari. Frank started out helpful for our apartment…read morehunt, but after 2 months of working with him we were unable to find our ideal apartment. As we were working on a time crunch, we were left to search outside of the listings Frank was showing us and found an apartment we signed a lease for. We communicated with Frank that we appreciated his time but would no longer be needing his services because we found another lease. Frank became very angry with us and first expressed his disappointment (understandable since he did work with us previously) but became very unprofessional as he started yelling over the phone. He then told us: "I believe in karma, and I have been doing good to help you find an apartment yet you signed a different lease. Just know that karma is out to get you." We found this language extremely unprofessional and uncomforting. He later sent us a text reminding us how unprofessional we acted and to remember his words about karma. We understand his frustration but there was no place for him to use this harsh and negative language. We did not sign a contract with him saying he was our exclusive agent. Admittedly, there may have been some miscommunication and lack of information on how the housing market in Hoboken worked, but as people coming from out-of-state, we did not know the fine details of apartment hunting in Hoboken and the Hoboken etiquette on searching for other apartment listings. We have already submitted a complaint to Century 21 Corporate and are hoping that Century 21 Hoboken addresses the problem as well. Yes, it is ok to be frustrated and angry with us, no, it is not ok to yell thinly veiled threats at us.
