Because We Hate Brokers, There's Now an App to Find No-Fee Apartments in NYC

Moving is stressful and everyone knows that.

Figuring out how to get all of your heavy stuff upstairs and through doors is anxiety inducing enough, without having to shell out 10% for broker's fee and trading in your firstborn child along with two month's rent.

But now, in a celebratory boom, plenty of mobile apps are emerging to improve the lives of New Yorkers. This includes the new rental brokers app Oliver, which allows you to view and rent your next apartment, on your phone, without a broker.

Which means that some celebrations are in order! (Unless you're a broker, in which case, deuces jabronis!)

The thing with brokers is that they tend to show you apartments out of your price range, with a move-in date that's different than your move-in date, in a neighborhood you don't want.

They always want you to rent the most expensive apartment at the very tip of your price range, because as the price increases, so do their commissions. Needless to say, brokers rarely have your best interests at heart.

But Oliver does.

Oliver allows you to filter the app to find the price, bedrooms, amenities, and neighborhood you want, without any pushback. It filters out scam posts, with an easy-to-use map, appointment scheduling, photos, and rental rates.

It's no-nonsense, it's free, and it's probably the best thing to happen to moving in NYC since movers.

Get it on the Apple App Store here, and say goodbye to your moving woes.
