Application process

I’m Elan, a licensed real estate broker in New York City. I help people find apartments that aren’t publicly listed — off-market units, under-market rents, and rent-stabilized apartments that rarely show up on listing sites.

There’s no retainer, no commitment, and no exclusivity. You’re always free to search on your own. A one-time broker fee applies only if you end up renting an apartment I introduce you to — and in many cases, the lower rent means you come out ahead even after the fee.

If you’re curious, the value proposition page walks through exactly how the math works.
