By discussing requirements from the get-go, he ensures that when his clients see an apartment that they want, they are prepared to make a decision.
"Every client has a reason for moving, and that's the first thing I find out. I always listen to what they are looking for in their move before hitting them with a long list of choices. With this, I use my knowledge of the market to help them explore their options and figure out what will suit them. Addressing my clients' specifications with focus and organization eliminates the need to spend days searching the city. By listening to what they want I know what to show them."
Normund's secret for finding a great apartment in New York: Deciding which factors about an apartment are the most important to you in the beginning will prepare you to make a decision when you see the apartment you like. This isn't the kind of city where you can look around and then take time to consider your options. The first application that we present to a landlord is the first one that gets considered. Getting your application in immediately is often the key to getting an apartment. Therefore, when you see something you like it's important that you are prepared to make a decision right away.
