   __________   Frequently Asked Questions.   



Q. What is the advantage of using your AptStar Program vs a traditional real estate broker?

A. Aside from helping you save on broker fees I am your advocate. I want you to rent a good apartment with a good landlord. Brokers just want a one-time deal.

Q. How many apartments will I go see?

A. You receive the best 3-4 apartments that match your criteria. You don't need to see 20 that don't.

Q. When do I have to schedule your help?

A. It is best to contact me 45-60 days before your desired move-in date. *Anything later is decided on a case by case basis.

Q. What's the next step after you approve me for your AptStar?

A. The first step is to make sure all your documents are prepared. Only your new landlord at the time you apply for an apartment sees them. However, I make sure beat the competition (which is fierce).

Q. Will I see apartments brokers advertise for a broker fee?

A. Absolutely! Many of my clients have rented an apartment a broker is advertising with a fat broker fee and hasn't had to pay any of that.

   __________   About Kirby Sommers.

Kirby Sommers addressing a crowd of renters at the Band Shell in Central Park in 2015.

  1. I'm a writer who grew up in New York City. I was a commercial real estate broker with a fancy office on Park Avenue. Just before Labor Day on 2005 I was about to embark on a much needed long weekend when Hurricane Katrina hit the Golf Coast. The moment I walked into my apartment on Wednesday, August 29th I tuned in to watch the news. Images of stranded Katrina victims with haunting looks of despair immediately made me want to help. That night from my livingroom floor, armed with a computer and a phone, I created what was to become known as Katrina Home Drive. With the help of volunteers across the country we helped to find new homes and resources for thousands of survivors.

    It didn't take me long to realize that renters in New York City were in need of help too. And so I started Landlord Links (which can still be found here). These became the first landlord directories with links to landlord websites (where renters could bypass broker fees). Landlord Links paved the way for my AptStar Program -- which I continue to do. I have created a life for myself where I help people. And I love it.
