While getting too specific can limit your choices, you should have clear ideas about your budget, size, and location.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips to Know Before Meeting Your Broker<\/h2>\n<p>This post is the fifth entry in our series on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renthop.com\/news\/2013\/11\/tips-to-know-before-meeting-your-broker-in-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tips to Know Before Meeting Your Broker in 2014<\/a>.\u00a0 The series is based on our experiences shadowing several rental brokers in New York in late 2013.\u00a0 We learned a lot about the best &#8211; and worst &#8211; ways to work with brokers.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip #5: Be Clear About What You Want<\/h2>\n<p>You might expect to find a tip like \u201cKeep an open mind\u201d on this list. While open minds are great, it\u2019s even more important to be honest with yourself and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/agents-and-brokers-nyc\">broker<\/a> about what you really want. Pretending to have an open mind about something that\u2019s non-negotiable for you is a waste of everybody\u2019s time. On the flip side, being completely clear about what you want means you\u2019ll feel confident <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/application-process-nyc\">submitting an application<\/a> ASAP when the right apartment comes along.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many variables to consider when looking for an apartment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/how-much-rent-can-i-afford-nyc\">Budget<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/what-neighborhood-is-right-for-me-nyc\">neighborhood<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/different-types-of-apartments-in-nyc\">size<\/a> are the big ones, but there\u2019s also the question of how renovated you want the apartment to be, whether you want to be in a doorman building, whether you want <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/features-and-amenities-nyc\">amenities<\/a> like a gym or roof deck, and on and on.<\/p>\n<p>We met quite a few clients who, out of a desire to appear flexible and open-minded, inadvertently gave their brokers wildly inaccurate impressions of what they were looking for. One client said yes to viewing an apartment in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/apartments-for-rent\/midtown-east-new-york-ny\">Midtown East<\/a>, even though she really wanted to live further downtown. Her broker put together a list of several Midtown East apartments to view, and the client went around to all of them. At the end of the afternoon, she told the broker she really didn\u2019t want to live in Midtown East. In another case, a couple spent several hours viewing apartments that were $800 above their budget. They concluded at the end of the day that the apartments were all too expensive. Moral of the story: Know your criteria and stick with it.<\/p>\n<p>Surprise!
