The Corcoran Group - Park Slope

I have, in less than a month, reached out to a realtor from this Corcoran office via Street Easy requesting tours for three different apartments, only to receive no response. Even when I submit multiple requests. I always submit an initial request within hours of when the apartment is first listed. I suspect the lack of response has to do with the spelling of my name which clearly indicates that I am Latina. Searching for housing in NYC is traumatic enough of an experience without having to worry about discrimination from relators. The realtors associated with the most recent no response listing were: George Pigott and Nathalie Roy. This is a serious problem that Corcoran needs to address and correct. I imagine I am not the only person who has experienced this.

I rented an apartment in Park Slope from Raisa Galker and Dan Chen about a month ago, and this has been the worst rental experience of my life, every step of the way thanks to her and Corcoran. First she sent me incorrect account information for rent and deposit payments, and had me wire almost 7k to a wrong account. Then she for no reason and with no explanation kept refusing to put me in touch with the building management until 2 days before my move-in date and eventually the cited reason was them waiting for the payment to clear payment to the wrong account number she gave me, which I immediately provided confirmation numbers for. This resulted in me then living in the apartment without gas an internet for a week because I wasn’t able to schedule appointments on time. To top it off, the apartment is located directly above a very old, very loud boiler room which makes the walls and floor shake and makes a loud dull noise sound and vibrations similar to a moving plane consistently, day and night. I haven’t slept through the night since I moved in. Raisa and Corcoran of course made no mention of this and even went out of their way to market both the apartment and the area as quiet and peaceful. Since the weather was warmer during the open house this would have been impossible to notice when I came to see the place, since the boiler was off. I paid Corcoran over 6k in broker’s fees for this insane experience which has caused me stress and anxiety that are still ongoing. STAY AWAY FROM THIS INSANELY UNPROFESSIONAL, CROOKED PLACE. I would rather be homeless than rent from them again.

In 2010, we expanded our Park Slope office to include the second floor – a former Thai restaurant – and renovated the entire space to have a cleaner and more welcoming look.

Lady had bad attitude with me an I didn't appreciate it.
