Rapid Realty

Worst company avoid at all cost. They will take your money and not give it back. They are theives and scammers. I lived on a property where it went into foreclosure and they were still collecting rent from the tenants.

To whoever it may concern, I'd like to provide some feedbacks on one of your registered agents, Shawn, who was the broker who filled our application for an apartment in Fort Greene on 5/17. Our experience with Rapid Reality for the past week has been a shame. Below is a detailed description of the situation: As an introduction, I'd like to mention that our revenues exceed 65x the rent (way above the 40x NYC standards), and we provided on Day 1 all due proofs of employment and references. - First of all, we had to deal simultaneously with two different agents (Shawn and another Rapid Reality agent, Brian), both talking at the same time to the landlord, and giving both parties contradictory information, which resulted in a lot of frustration for the landlord - and us. - On 5/17, I provided all paperworks plus a 1-month deposit, and we had a firm agreement on the terms. Then the situation in the next days quickly became uncontrollable, as the Rapid Reality agent Shawn kept changing the terms of the deal: on 5/16 he asked for an extra 1-month deposit (never mentioned before), on 5/18 he asked for an extra $500 pet deposit (never mentioned before), on 5/19 he asked for a copy of my 401K retirement plan!! (never mentioned before). - On 5/20, we got confirmation (and congratulation) from Rapid Reality about our application being accepted. A meeting with the landlord was set-up to sign the lease. Then the Rapid Reality agent Shawn simply stopped answering. We tried reaching out to the him multiple times that day, but he never returned any of our calls. - On 5/21, we reached out to the landlord directly, who told us that the unit was rented (?!). I strongly discourage anyone to deal with Rapid Reality; I'm posting this same description on public reviews websites, as well as I'll let all my fellow colleagues know about this situation. Please feel free to reach out with any question about this, and I'll be happy to provide more details.
