Rent in NYC without paying broker fees

I recently launched an app to rent in NYC without paying silly broker fees. Just find a listing, apply, we validate your financials, create the contract and send the lead to the lanlord/property manager. If you’re looking to rent in NYC give it a try and give me some feedback.

I’m also looking for a cofounder, either technical (so I can focus more on sales/ops) or sales (so I can focus in tech)

You want me to provide your random herokuapp app with my financial information to "validate"?

What user is going to be willing to do that?

You create the contract?

What landlord is going to accept that?

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll work more in the landing page, regards

You'll want an in-house lawyer, too. New York's real estate laws have teeth, and they enable significant private enforcement. Best luck--this market needs disruption.

Correct, there is a “Mafia”. I talked to REBNY, agents etc.
