Melissa Dargis

Melissa was fantastic! The first apartment we saw on this website was already rented but Melissa contacted me right away and asked for all of our specifications.

Melissa found my roommate and I an apartment both in the area we were looking and in our price range. She is super amiable, straight forward and was totally honest with us from the start, making it easy for us to trust her opinions and suggestions.
My roommate and I loved the first apartment she showed us and filled out an application immediately. Because of our restrictions regarding cosigners and finances Melissa worked so hard to get us into that apartment, still meeting all of our specifications.
My roommate and I are extremely fortunate to have worked with her as first-time full-time residents in New York City and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an apartment.

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa during my apartment search in NYC. Brokers in the city get a pretty bad reputation and in part for good reason- my first broker never even showed up to my appointment to see an apartment. However Melissa proved otherwise. She was quick to respond to all my inquiries and really took the time to focus in on what I was looking for. Never once did I feel pressured or obligated to sign for an apartment. I never realized just how difficult the process of getting an apartment in NYC is and I was glad to have had Melissa on my side. The only reason I did not rent an apartment with Melissa was because I stumbled upon my dream place on my own- and that rarely happens in NYC. If that hadn't have happened I know Melissa would have been persistent and found me the perfect place. The real estate market is just awful in NYC and it's nice to know that people like Melissa help make it a little more bearable. If I need a place in the future I know who to contact. Thanks again for all your help Melissa!

Melissa is very hardworking and does a great job refining what you really want and need from an apartment. Great help for new to NYC apartment hunters! Tip: she's great about trying to keep your costs down.

Melissa is an outstanding broker. If you tell her what you are looking for she will truly take the time to find you the perfect apartment. She is a professional, high quality broker and I would recommend her to anyone looking for their dream apartment in NYC!

Melissa was a real pleasure to work with. She really took the time to listen to what I needed and didn't try to rush to get me into a place that didn't fit my needs. In a world of sleazy, dishonest brokers, she was a real breath of fresh air.

My boyfriend and I sought an apartment with a few amenities which we were told were not only rare in this rental market but completely impossible to find in our budget. After being talked down to, pushed around, and dismissed by half a dozen brokers, we were so relieved to find Melissa. She was amiable, accommodating, and resourceful. She told us what the fee agreements were up front and made it a point to say that she acted as an agent who represented our best interests. Most importantly, Melissa actually listened to what we were saying. Everything she showed us was within range of what we were looking for and really exceeded our expectations. Remarkably, she never pressured us to take something we didn't feel completely right about and continued to look for the perfect place. She is a great person to have on your side and we would recommend her without hesitation.

Melissa is awesome! - Very trusting - Good value for time/money :) - Takes time to understand your needs and met them.

Great broker, very helpful in finding us our apartment. Responsive, even on weekends. I did wish she showed us more fee listings (she primarily showed us no-fee) and more options in general, but I guess that might have been limited by our specific budget/needs.
