Lauren rented the incredible duplex for $1600 a few weeks ago.  I felt bad renting her the place because I wanted to move there myself but hey that always happens to me with the super nice ones.  Anyway, she’s going to love it. 

Pictured below are Lauren, myself and lauren’s new landlord Anna who is terrific also.  Here is the link to this amazing apartment.

Ready to Move!

by Peter Horowitz on February 25, 2010

in Success Stories

Meg and Happy seem pretty darn excited to have just signed their new lease for their new 2 bedroom apartment and it’s for a good reason.  After about two weeks of searching, they fell in love with the modern 2 bed for $1650 that was listed earlier this month.  It was a little above their range but after reevaluating their needs they found that it worked better in the long run for them.  Also, we negotiated the rent down to $1600 so that helped a little. 

Working with Meg and Happy was a pleasure and I am very pleased to have them in the neighborhood.

Here is little bit more about Meg and Happy. 

Meg Griffiths is a comedienne and producer, who created and curates the first stand-up comedy show in the 148-year history of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Comedy Night, and performs long-form improv every Wednesday night at The Peoples Improv Theater  (www.meggriffiths.com).

Happy Anderson is an actor who has appeared in numerous television, film, and theater.  Upcoming appearances include 4th season of Army Wives (Lifetime), Drew Barrymore and Justin Long’s Going the Distance, and The Onion News Network (www.happyandersonacting.com).

“We loved working with Peter and can not recommend him highly enough.  He always respected our budget, our time, and our decision-making process.  It’s kind of like he’s not a realtor, but your friend showing you apartments.  We want to have Peter over for dinner at our new place.”

Spacious 3 bedroom apartment is located only 4 blocks from the N, W as Astoria Blvd and 4 blocks to Astoria Park.  It is also close to the Beer Garden, Sparrow, and the Ditmars neighborhood in general. 

The large kitchen has plenty of counter space and a whole wall of top and bottom cabinets.  Two of the bedrooms are in the back and the largest one is in the front with another room adjacent.  Really this can be considered a 3.5 bedroom apt but the other room is great for an office or even made into a huge walk-in closet for whomever occupies the front room.

This apartment has since been painted.

I just received this thoughtful testimonal from my recent clients, Cat and Chris.  They sent along this great pic of them in the doorway of their new apartment in Astoria.

“The Story of Cat & Chris:

 We were super-excited to find a new home in Astoria, but became discouraged after searching Craigslist for weeks and coming up with nothing. A short stint with another broker left us sad and unsatisfied. And then there was Peter. Peter Horowitz. We had followed the blog for a while and decided to shoot him an email. He immediately responded and once we told him exactly what we were looking for, he set up appointments for the very next day: not one, but three places in one night! The final apartment was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Peter made the process easy and stress free, and we were in the place 2 weeks later. Peter was extremely nice, funny, attentive, and didn’t run us around, wasting our time showing us things that weren’t in our budget or what we wanted. We would recommend Peter Horowitz to anyone to find them their perfect Astoria apartment!

Cat & Chris”

Cat and Chris took the 2 bedroom for $1500 that was posted recently here on myastoriarealestate.com.  They rented the one with the pic of the landlord crouching to try and avoid being caught in the photos I posted.  It made for a funny picture. 

Thanks Cat and Chris, working with people like you is the reason I love my job.

Post image for Live in this Astoria Palace for $2400… likely the Largest and Most Unique 2 Bedroom in all of Astoria

The story behind this gigantic 2 bedroom (easily used as a 3 bedroom) is that the current landlord fixed up the apartment for his daughter for her to live in but it turned out to be only a temporary situation.  As you can see, he installed fine Italian granite and marble tile throughout most of this enormous apartment.

The layout is tremendous.  There are 2 large bedrooms in the front, an eat-in kitchen w/ washing machine, a large dining room,and  living room with yet another room attached (you can make an office) to that with a door leading to a very large rooftop patio.

See the pics below.
