Tri State Consulting Also Known As Thorecore COnsulting Co. Lied, bate and switch, New York New York
I went to Tri State Relocation for help finding an apartment in NYC. They claimed to have direct contact with landlords and management companies and could connect to these people. I asked three times if my price range was feasible for the areas in which I was interested in living. I was told in response yes, it will be no problem, you will find something in 2 weeks.
After my account was debited and paperwork signed a different associate called me to "verify" the information I had given them, i.e. my price range and the areas I was interested in living in. When I told her that what I wrote was correct she asked are those the only areas you are willing to live in, and suggested some other places - I think the Bronx or parts of Brooklyn. I told her yes, she said okay and that was that.
The service was supposed to be set up so that my consultant would contact me if things came up in my area and price range, but also I could search their listing via the web and request appointments. I never saw anything in my price range in the areas I am interested in.
I believe this is fraud, they are well aware of what things cost in the areas they rent in, why, unless they are just out to cheat people would they take money knowing that nothing would ever show up in those areas at that price point?? Twice I have seen apartments categorized in the wrong neighborhood, it would be listed under say, Rego Park or Elmhurst, but when you select it the address would tell you that it is in Queens Village or Woodhaven. This gets them out of their clause that you are really looking, because if I didn't write them and say they had these apartments listed incorrectly they could tell me I was seriously looking and searching their website on a regular basis. Their policy is if you see 15 apartments and don't find anything after 90 days they will refund you 50 of the 120 fee that they charge.
