We are a couple looking for a studio in Manhattan and the hecht Group seemed very helpful over the phone. We made an appointment to view several places within our budget of $1,500. Andrea Fernandez showed us around informed us we could negotiate on the price, we were particularly interested in one studio on 440 East 75 St, flat 2 quoted at $1,550. Andrea told us the agency fee will be 1 month rent. We maintained contact with her and were advised to bring $500 as a deposit. We went to the office, filled out further paperwork and went in the manager's office: Ed Hecht. We are then told the price is $1,600 not $1550! Then my partner saw Hecht groups fee is $2,985! We were not told of this. Ed then promptly apologized to us as this was not going anywhere. We walked out of the office having wasted all our time, energy and effort. Beware of the tricks they do to get you then try to sneak in the extra charges! (if anyone needs document proof about this, we are happy to share) We agree on the review that Hect Group boost their own profile.

Pros: none

Cons: Liars - BEWARE!

i have read a few of the reviews here and i can tell someone was angry, but in all fairness reading the history of the company made me use then since they have been around for over 10 years. i got an apartment !! service was fine and fair, i also got a guarantee from the owners which no other brokerage gave me, all in all fair and professional although i did not like the office so much or process which was more then complicated. i had no idea new york city landlords need to see my financials for a silly studio. the office was not as new as some of the bigger companies. cheers.
