He was like a check-list of positive attributes: polite, attentive, intelligent, responsive, responsible, efficient, respectful, reliable. Beyond that, he had none of the irksome traits that plague NYC brokers. There was no sleaze, no pressure, no games, no trickery. Simply put: no bs. He didn't even charge a fee. I highly recommend working with Jared the next time you need an apartment.

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.

He immediately began talking about some renovation program he had to offer. Every time I asked a legit question about money, investments, etc. He had a very quick scripted answer. Something about him was fishy from the start. Afterwards, I took a while to ask around and do some research. My gut was right! Steve Reger has several lawsuits against him, some from old contractors he never paid, some from investors that he stole money from, even from building supply stores he never paid. All of this is public record. I asked other agents about him and they all said "STAY AWAY" he is "NO GOOD". I am so glad I did. Apparently he is so wanted by the courts he fled to Arizona.

I found 25 realty on naked apartments, emailed them, and received a response from Adam very quickly. I explained our search criteria and move-in date. We set up an appointment for later that week. Hatem (Tim) took us to see three apartments in a great building on ridge blvd. we knew that our move in date was too far in advance but we wanted to get a feel for apartments. Since that showing he was in contact letting us know when to come back to start looking officially. He took us to very nice apartments and skipped the ones he knew we wouldn't like. He was extremely helpful in selecting the apartment we are moving into on Saturday. Note: paperwork is extensive. It's like purchasing a house. I appreciate thoroughness, but it was a little excessive in my opinion. Other than that the experience was pretty easy. Thanks Hatem!
