Enlighten us about your unusual apartment search (or tactics), real estate successes and failures, or pretty much anything you think other NYC denizens might be curious to hear about. We may feature your story in an upcoming BrickUnderground article. (Oh, and did we mention that we pay for freelance work?) Click here to get in touch. And check out some examples below:
