Waverly Apartment Services

Listen, in today’s technology driven world, many people can count on missing out on a good NYC village apartment deal when you go to a broker/​brokerage firm. So why not go straight to the source? These ladies have firsthand relationships with the landlords (my building included) and scored me a GREAT deal! None of that sh*% I had to deal with when I went to a company in Midtown (who shall remain unnamed) «oh, you’re application was received 30 seconds after another app came in so you didn’t get the place. We can show you a couple other places tomorrow if you have time.» Thanks but I didn’t feel like touring the city and filling out applications for places that had 3 in already. Also, throwing out 50 bucks for every application fee is stupid when I could be spending that on Restaurant Week.
Anyway, what I’m saying is you’ve got to play your cards right and have all your sh&$ together (pay stubs, clean credit report, guarantors lined up). Plus, bringing the ladies some treats to butter them up might sweeten your deal. It sure did for me. Hey, who doesn’t like sugar?

This ‘business’ run by two obnoxious upstart lowlifes is the reason that renting an apartment in NYC has the appalling reputation it holds. Initially sweet as pie to take my deposit on an apartment in the West Village, they suddenly turned into the raging beasts, when another broker offered another apartment to me. They refused to return the ‘good faith’ $ 500 deposit and when I went to discuss the issue, they called the police saying that I was threatening them with violence. Outrageously untrue. It was their ploy to get me to leave the premises penniless. My broker warned me about these two. They are known as the downtown bitches in the industry.
I am calling the city to register a complaint against their disgusting business practice.
Completely delusional, liars, and flakes, have NOTHING to do with them. Zero stars.

To say that my experience with the two proprietors of Waverly Apartments was unsatisfactory would be a gross understatement. I was forced to deal with these two when they were the «listing broker» on an apartment I’m renting.
Marilyn, my main point of contact, was the most loudmouthed, irrational person I’ve encountered in any commercial transaction and, perhaps, life at large. One can be confident in two things about Marilyn: (1) any question addressed to her will be met with a response that in no way meets the most primitive standards of human rationality and (2) she will do everything in her squawky power to make everything needlessly difficult. Questions about aspects of the lease were met with rants about how leases never really matter. A promise to pick up our key at a certain time turned into a game of cat and mouse where Marilyn refused to tell us when we’d gain access to our apartment.
Use every tool at your disposal to avoid contact with these two. God forbid, do not rent an apartment from them.
