Hi. My name is Kathy. I'm a teacher for the Board of Ed. My boyfriend works for a cancer research hospital. We are looking for an apartment in Astoria or sourounding areas for just the two of us. I spend most of August walking around upper ditmars, and Jackson heights. I tried talking to building supers and building managements. I looked for any for rent signs in private houses but it seems no one does that nowadays. I really feel like I don't need a broker becuase I'm doing the hard work myself. If anyone knows of any listing by owner please reach out to me. If you are a broker with a low fee I guess I will try that too. Our budget is $1400.
