First Executive Real Estate

Terrible. Bait and Switch of apartments on a grand scale. Lies about broker's fee and charges much much more than originally stated. Showed me one wonderful apt to reel me in to giving him my personal information- he sends my money and application to an apt I told him I did not want! What an ass. Does not perform the job with any integrity and leaves clients in a bad situation with bad landlords. Do not give your cash to this untrustworthy real estate agency. Save yourself.

I was desperate to find an apt when the one I'd been living in for 6 years was suddenly having flooding problems and became a health hazard. Trying to find an apt on my own wasn't working and i was forced to use a broker. Within two weeks of working with first executive realty i was able to sign the lease for my new apt. I came close to taking an apt that i was not sure was the best and really expensive. When i went into the office on thanksgiving day, Sheik told me he found something better and less expensive for me. A day later, i saw the apt and by the end of that day, i signed the lease. All of the staff at first executive realty worked tirelessly to help me find an apt I'd be happy with and made me feel welcomed and comfortable each time i went to their office.

Shiek is the name and face of this company and unfortunately he is one of the worst human beings I've met. He is rude, forgetful, not punctual, and just plain careless. He is not up front about pricing, changes numbers and amenities after you show up to the apartment units, and basically disregards what his listings actually say. Some of them are not even real listings and he'll just show you something totally different. He will straight up lie to you. If you want to hear it, he will tell you it's a possibility or in the works. It won't happen. If you are already engaged in a deal with him, get out of the situation.

He has been doing this a long time and is pretty burnt out. I seriously understand where he's coming from but it doesn't justify his attitude. It's a tough job here in NYC and a busy one but there are plenty of other people out there doing the same job as him with honesty, integrity, and at least a nice attitude.

I just received a call from Shiek Hossain after I inquired about an apartment through zumper and he was extremely rude and hung up on me without confirming the price of the apartment. I've never experienced such a rude personality from a real estate agent in all the months my boyfriend and I have been looking for an apartment. Bad first impression First Executive Real Estate. Definitely will avoid them in the future.
