Apartment Search

How did you find your apartment?(craigslist, etc etc) We are looking in Queens area.

Pls send recommendation/ references our way.

TIA!

Are you looking to buy/rent?

When we rented in Astoria, we found it through Craigslist. It was a pain in the butt because there's so many fake posts (the too good to be true kind), but we were able to find one that was w/ a broker but no broker fee.

If you're looking to buy I have an amazing realtor I can refer you to.

i am in queens too (forest hills). I did a lot of searching on cragistlist which is where i ultimately found our apt. its tough bc of the fake posts.
I did also contaact one or two realtors but had no luck.
what areas are you looking in? i may be able to give you the realtors info if interested...

we did mls.com and searched rental properties

*its more legit than craigslist

middle village, kew gardens, bayside, howard beach, rego park,.....

Might sound weird but overstock.com has a real estate section!

http://realestate.overstock.com/

Also look at http://www.mlsli.com

I bought in Queens and honestly the best thing to do is see a real estate agent. They will find you quality listings that people don't always post in public arenas.

GOOD LUCK!

do you have a neighborhood you prefer?

middle village

What are you looking for? I'm vacating my 2 bedroom in Bayside in February. It's top floor of a 6 story building. Not sure if they're looking to rent it again or sell but it's a great neighborhood, easy access to Manhattan and 15 min to everywhere.

Otherwise I'd say Craigs List, realtor or word of mouth
