Forget the Broker: Will This App Forever Change the Way You Rent Apartments in NYC?

It's been a long time coming for most New York City brokers, don't you think? You've been charging us thousands of dollars in fees that we simply don't need to pay.

Especially since we're already stressed about how we'll get our bed frames from Harlem to Brooklyn, how we'll get our couches through our tiny front doors, and who will be our new roommates without the anxiety over paying a 10% broker's fee.

What we're saying is, moving is aggravating enough without having to drain our bank accounts for a broker's fee. 

Now, though, there's an app called Oliver and it's trying to change the apartment rental game in New York City, in a huge way.

No, we don't have any remorse. The only reason we put up with brokers for so long is because we had no other option. Now, though, there's an app called Oliver and it's trying to change the apartment rental game in New York City, in a huge way.

Instead of stressing about how you'll pay thousands to a broker who mercilessly showed you apartments outside of your budget, in neighborhoods you didn't want to live in, with a move-in dates before your move-in date, you'll be peacefully browse apartments on your cell phone.

And it's now on Android and iPhone, and we promise they won't try to stretch your budget to increase their commission.

Since, you know, it's free. Which means there's no budget to stretch.

Oliver allows you to filter apartments by price, bedrooms, amenities, and neighborhood, without any pushback or awkward conversations or running around the city.

Downloading this app means never having to ask questions like, "Is it a true three-bedroom?" and "What do you mean there's no toilet?"

This is definitely a win-win for New Yorkers, and it's about time that we got a win, don't you think?  Now download Oliver on the Apple Store here, and on Google Play for Android right here
