Broker fees can fluxuate up to 15% of the annual rent.
We do our best to get you the lowest fee possible and aim for it to be equal to one month’s rent.

With us you will never pay an extra fee and will never exceed the 15%.

In NYC, nearly all rental properties involve a broker fee, but how the fee is paid can vary—either the owner or tenant pays. 

Due to the high demand for NYC rentals, most landlords don’t need to offer incentives, such as covering fees, to rent out their apartments. Typically, when the owner covers the fee, the property is not as good a value as one where the tenant pays the fee directly. 

Often, when owners cover the broker fee, they bake this cost into the rent, which results in higher monthly payments and usually higher renewal rates. So you are essentially paying the cost of the fee every year you live in the apartment.

When it comes to working with a traditional broker versus our full-service concierge service, the standard broker fee in NYC is generally 15% of the annual rent, regardless of who you work with. 

With our concierge service at AKN, you’re getting far more value for that same fee. Instead of simply paying someone to open the door to an apartment you found on your own, AKN offers a range of benefits and an experience that works to your benefit.

At AKN, we offer a full-service, concierge real estate experience, managing your entire apartment search from start to finish. With access to off-market properties and an unmatched range of available listings, our team conducts in-depth research to present the best options tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you're always ahead in the competitive NYC market.

Because our services are comprehensive and include unmatched market access, we kindly ask that you refrain from working with other brokers or conducting your own search while partnering with us. This allows us to fully leverage our market knowledge and connections, ensuring you get the best deals and a seamless experience. While we can show you any property you find online—whether listed by another broker or not—working with multiple brokers or searching independently can complicate the process. Trust AKN to handle everything, from negotiations to securing your ideal apartment, offering a stress-free, white-glove experience.

At AKN, we offer a streamlined concierge service designed to keep you ahead of the market, no matter your move-in timeline. Whether you’re moving in one week or six months, we can tailor our approach to fit your schedule. The only difference is the level of planning and the number of inventory releases we can keep you in front of.

We recommend reaching out 2 - 4 months in advance. This gives us time to ensure you have access to all potential properties that meet your criteria and to prepare everything seamlessly for your move-in date. However, many people in NYC start looking 1-2 months in advance, and we are more than capable of working within those timeframes too, without compromising the high level of service and market access we provide.

Contact us today to discuss your move, no matter how soon or far it is. We’ll ensure you stay ahead of the market and find the perfect home!
