> The broker has shown so many crappy places that they will help the renter see that this is a fair, market value, deal.
Huh, I guess that's why the value-adding broker decided to show my wife and I an apartment that was well over $1k over our budget, in a five-floor walk-up when we told him that due to my wife's knee injury, a walkup of more than 2 floors was a completely and total deal-breaker for us.
Not to sound combative, but I wonder how many potential tenants abandoned your broker by yelling at him on the 4th floor, from the 2nd floor, that we're literally physically incapable of seeing the out-of-budget apartment he was trying to show us, and then walking away.
It was a bad broker. But I've only met a single good one, compared to a dozen bad ones.
We bothered trying to go up the stairs because we'd already spent 30 minutes getting to Harlem, and apparently it had a terrace. Classic sunken cost fallacy, compared with greed. Who doesn't want a terrace?
