When an apartment in the Washington Heights area caught my eye in an online ad, I called the listed agent, Andrew Melendez, from the Bohemia Group. I appreciated his approach, right from the start: There was no request to sign an application with the firm BEFORE giving information or an offer to show some available apartments.Instead, Drew asked about my interests in the area, price range, and apartment needs. With that brief conversation, he mentioned a few apartments in the desired area and made an appointment to see them. During the next 10 days, we met about 4 times to see apartments. Drew sure did his homework before we met each time, because he took us to places that revealed our interests. He showed us about 12-14 units all together. He did not rush us in the viewing or over-sell any unit. We got to know the neighborhood and good buildings through his experience of living in the area for several years. He stayed with us as we continued our search; and he was always finding new units to look at. He led us through the application process, making the way to lease-signing almost painless. I'd recommend Andrew Steven Melendez at Bohemia any time for anyone looking for apartments Uptown.

I was shown a number of apartments by Andrew Melendez. He was a stellar agent and took me through the list of apartments he had that fit my criteria! He also dynamically adapted viewing decisions based on the apartments I liked. He made sure to understand deeply what features I was drawn to and only showed me apartments that were a good fit for me. As a result, as we viewed more apartments, we found more and more apartments that were to my liking! I'm planning to go with one of the apartments he showed me! He also took time to talk to answer all my questions and he really made me feel like he was in this hunt with me trying to find something that would be a great fit for me. I trusted him to be looking out for my interests and that's something you can't say about all agents so I'd highly recommend asking for him by name when looking for apartments because he really is stellar!
