Terrible experience with this company. They listed an apartment for 2500. After applying it took…read morethem a week to respond. The realtor came back and said they approved me but now wanted 2950 because they were adding a washer/dryer. I refused as I might as well pay for a delivery service for 10% of the cost. 1 week later they come back saying they changed their mind and were now offering for 2600 With no washer/dryer. I eventually caved because I liked the neighborhood (Apt was a bit rundown but I was willing to suck it up). Then the realtor says they approved me for the second floor apartment that is identical to the one I saw instead. I asked when I could view and they said the tenant refused. But the realtor said mgmt was amazing and you can trust them. My spidey sense was going off full alarm bells. No way am I signing with no viewing with these folks. Now reading the reviews I'm so glad I ran! I will watch out for Alma Realty at all costs.

Working with him and the landlord was a solid, positive experience. The whole process went quickly and smoothly. They work with many types of landlords who have their own way of doing things. Finding parity between landlord and potential tenant can be tricky. This was well managed and we had a seamless experience. As my fiancé was going through cancer treatments, her/our living requirements and situation changed dramatically. We needed a safe, accessible, clean, modern apartment that would facilitate her recovery. The list of needs were rather imposing. Astor still found us the place that met our needs.

You would think they would have done something about it after more than 50 emails I sent to them. At least impose the monetary fees we all signed up for in our Building Rules. But no, not First Management and their utmost incompetent management. If they do not do anything about it either way, at least they will get my review. At this point, my only options are either they go bankrupt or I sell my property to recover some of my peace of mind. They are so deficient that my money is on the former. Besides that, the whole condition of the building is pitiful. The more than a year with no laundry room. The fetid smell coming from broken sewage lines that take weeks to get solved, The constantly broken elevator, and like that, I can go on and on and on. My friends think that my landlord is lousy, well, the landlord is me, and I feel like I'm renting; no, no... I feel like I'm living in city housing buildings FOR FREE!

We hired Wolves Den property management services for our newly built small multi-dwelling…read moreresidential condo building in Long Island City, to provide maintenance services and for the management of our property finances. Unfortunately, we were forced to terminate our agreement in just under two months, due to substandard delivery of maintenance services and the owner's unwillingness to address our many concerns after multiple complaints. To clarify, the super assigned, Robert, was ineffective and unable to perform basic maintenance duties from the onset of our agreement. He was massively inconsistent with the upkeep of our property and often did not clean our building until we submitted our request in writing and even then, we watched him drag around a filthy mop soiling our floors even further. Robert also failed to manage our trash regularly, leaving overflowing trash unattended and he consistently violated NYC Sanitation ordinances placing the trash outside in the morning before noon, instead of at night, after 4pm. We communicated our concerns multiple times (with photographs), but the response from the owner, Nafiz, was to imply that our expectations were too high. He refused to acknowledge our concerns, he was unwilling to reassign Robert to another location and frankly, made no genuine attempts to help us. In fact, when we received a sanitation violation for unremoved ice/snow in front of our building, Nafiz adamantly refused to believe Robert did not safely remove the ice/snow and instead resorted to blame the building residents for the summons. Through it all, Nafiz never offered to visit our property and personally inspect the premises to address our litany of concerns. In the end, we agreed to forfeit any remaining service dates to prevent further deterioration of our property and when we requested to terminate our agreement, Nafiz demanded we sign an NDA/waiver to prevent us from sharing our experience publicly and releasing WD of any potential liabilities. For obvious reasons, we refused to sign and ultimately managed to fully terminate our agreement. For us, working with WD was terribly exhausting and between the overwhelming maintenance issues, the questionable business practices and the severely unsanitary conditions of our building, we felt we needed to help others looking to hire WD, understand what may potentially lie ahead. We do not recommend WD in any capacity.

Of the FIVE Astoria realtors I called, emailed, and filled out forms for, Jenny is the only one who reached out to me. I know the dead of winter isn't the best time to look for a place but... She showed me a couple places I wasn't wild about but then we walked to the other end of the neighborhood to check out one that wasn't on the market yet due to renovations. We met the building owner that day. I signed a lease soon after, and she was there helping throughout the entire process! Highly recommended!

I met with Jenny during a recent apartment search, which was in the first week of the month (specifically, we met on the 3rd). I was seeking an apartment for the following month. After showing me one apartment that I didn't love, I felt like she pressured me to like it more -- telling me how perfect the landlords were, how I wouldn't find anything else like it, harping on features that ultimately didn't matter to me. It was incredibly awkward, and I found myself repeating that it's simply a matter of preference. It turned out that this was one of two apartments she had available at the time; the other was in a completely different location than where I had wanted. After this, she told me that I had started my search for an apartment too late, and that most apartments for the following month were already rented by now. As someone that was needing to find an apartment during the busy summer season, this was a stressful thing to hear. I ended up quickly finding an apartment with the next broker I met with. More importantly, though, were the vast number of apartments that became available throughout the week and the month. (Of course it wasn't too late to find a place on the 3rd, how could I have believed this?) While I don't like writing negative reviews of people in the neighborhood, I'm posting this in hopes that anyone with a similar experience will take it with a grain of salt. There are so many apartments in Astoria and in NYC overall. Don't let anyone rush your search. An apartment is a personal and important decision. And most importantly: your options are not constrained, regardless of what you're told.
