The problem

By the time it's listed,
it's already gone.

01

30 days.

That's the notice window. Apartments hit the market days before they're available, then vanish. You're scrambling against everyone at the same moment.

02

The broker's fee becomes your rent.

Landlords hire a broker, then price rent higher to recover the fee. You pay more every month, for the life of the lease, for a transaction you had no say in.

03

15 minutes with a stranger.

A rushed showing with someone who's never slept there. Nobody to tell you about the heat, the neighbor upstairs, or whether the building gets your packages.

Ask any New Yorker. The best apartments are never listed. They're quietly passed to someone you know.

The solution

On Neighbor, you see it
before it's ever listed.

01

Months early, not days.

Tenants know months before they tell their landlord. On Neighbor, they list when they decide. You see it 2 to 4 months early.

02

No broker. Real price.

Landlords pay brokers, then raise rent to cover it. When a tenant introduces you directly, there's no broker fee for the landlord to recover. The rent stays honest.

03

Talk to the person who lived there.

Message the actual tenant. Ask about the building, the block, the quirks. No broker, no filter. Just someone who knows.

04

You're leaving too? Good.

Most people leaving need somewhere new just as much. List yours, find yours. You're on both sides of the table.

The “passed through a friend” network, now open to every verified NYC renter.
