Maybe help finding a place? I've heard horror stories, and mainly its due to ignorance of the market. So perhaps have a friendly real estate agent available?
New York real estate agents are utterly terrible. Once you have them show you more than 8-10 apartments, they stop returning your calls, because they'd prefer not having to work for their absurd commissions.
Last time I used one in a move, I ended up spending $2600 for an introduction. This was to one person, for an hour and a half of work at most.
The movers, of whom there were 4, charged me $320 for three hours of backbreaking, difficult labor. They did excellent work. They were thrilled when I added an extra $60.

The comparison just makes me want to vomit.
