Here's how we work:
RDNY.com is an apartment rental service, not a broker. We do not take you around to show you apartments you are interested in. Instead, we can give you all of the information, guidance and support you need so that you can rent the apartment on your own, without a broker, thus saving you thousands of dollars in broker fees. These are the exact same apartments broker's charge their hefty fees to rent, but with RDNY.com, there is no broker's fee. all our listings are guaranteed 100% No Broker Fee Rentals.
3 Easy Steps to find your new no broker fee apartment:
Step 1. Fill out the FREE search form on our home page to search RDNY.com's active no broker fee rentals matching your needs. Search through your primary needs as well as your secondary needs. Everyone makes a trade-off when it comes to renting, size for price, price for size, or location, location, location.
Step 2. After reviewing RDNY.com's matching inventory, activate a live membership. You will see the full address of the apartment, who the landlord is, whom to contact to view the apartment, and whom to contact if you are interested in renting the apartment. You will see all financial requirements listed and the paperwork requirements. You will also have complete access to our excellent and attentive Customer Support and guidance, if you request it. These are the exact same apartments broker's charge hefty fees to rent.
Step 3. Gather your approval paperwork required by the landlord so that when you go out to view apartments, you are prepared to make an offer directly to the landlord. Timing and preparation are the keys to successful renting. RDNY.com prepares you and supports you for up to 60 days if necessary.

I'm pleased to tell you that we received several applicants at the open house last weekend and signed a lease last night with a very lovely couple. She is a doctor and he is in the media industry.

The fact that the tenants pay no broker's fee is a big plus. It is a huge savings for them and they have more money to put into their new apartment. RDNY.com has helped me rent many of my apartments.
Nick Kalas, 4 Bldgs Midtown East
I list my apartments exclusively with RDNY.com. By listing with RDNY.com the tenant does not have to pay a broker's fee. RDNY.com clients are just as qualified as a broker's.
Gladys McDonnell, 4 Brownstones, Upper West Side
The things I like about RDNY.com are: the service is very efficient, someone always calls to update my listings and the owner site is a wonderful feature of the service. I can go online at my leisure to view my ad information.

It took alot of my own work, but this website led me to a great NYC apt in a great location without a broker fee (other than the $139 I paid to rent-direct for the service). The only negative is that brokers have the ability to find condos, while rent-direct points you in the direction of mainly leasing apartments
My recommendation is to have 3 days, and get an unlimited train pass. Then use rent-direct and be your own broker. It really was amazing to find a great apartment basically on my own!

Usually I have searched my residential place through craigslist to move, but locally in state of VA. Last month I interviewed and got job in NYC, I needed someone to find me an apartment. I was referred to these guys through the receptionist at my new joining, Having not lived in NY before, I had lots of questions about the city, areas, crime rates etc... RDNY thankfully spent good half hour with me on phone. I did some research through their site and got interested in few rentals. Next day when I spoke to them they insisted on paying fee, I paid under $200 for their full access service. I must say at first I was hesitated, but once I got access to the vital information, I think it was money well spent! I started calling people for their rentals and have jot down to two properties which I looked today and decided on one. What seemed impossible just couple weeks back, thanks to these guys I have my new place to land in NYC. I must say I am very happy with these guys for helping out a newbie....
