Felipe Ros, a 23-year-old investment banker, was nearing the end of his Nolita apartment sublet and still hadn’t found a new place to live.

“I was in a bit of a time crunch,” says Ros, who moved to New York last September after finishing a graduate program in Paris.

In search of a downtown rental, he had gone the traditional route of pounding the pavement with brokers, but to no avail.

When a friend recommended he try searching on social media, he ended up on Snapchat’s Snaplistings — a recently debuted account in which young, social media-savvy agents from some of the city’s leading brokerages show off rental and sales listings every Monday through Friday.

“I found a video of [a] place and I was like, ‘This is perfect,’ ” Ros says of the two-bedroom Lower East Side pad he saw on a day that REAL New York salesperson Jonathan Ben Ami was running the Snapchat account. Ros liked the big living room and the apartment’s proximity to the Second Avenue F train station, which would make it easy to get to his job in Midtown. He says it was “exactly what [I was] looking for.”

Ros reached out, and Ben Ami returned his message right away. The following evening, Ros signed the lease.

The rental marks the first deal to be completed with the aid of Snaplistings. While a number of city agents over the years have been marketing listings via Instagram and Facebook, the Snapchat route is even more millennial-friendly, as brokers tend to post in real time and are in the apartments so people can reach out.

“I can’t leave the office at 2 p.m. on a weekday to go looking for places,” says Ros, who works long hours. “You get a very good sense of what the apartment looks like through the videos . . . it’s basically being there in person.”

Twenty-something social-media marketers Dolly Meckler and Michael Hoffman launched Snaplistings in October after noticing a lack of online forums in which house hunters could view listed homes in real time — and an excess of such forums that rely on funny angles to make the spaces look larger — enabling instant responses to queries and the ability to make bids.

The account displays a variety of city properties, from cheaper rentals to luxury homes asking upward of $6 million. Its contributors include agents from Corcoran, Douglas Elliman and Keller Williams NYC.

Snaplistings is also holding trial runs in cities including Los Angeles to test future expansion.

“I’ve gotten a great return on my time,” says Ben Ami, who takes over the Snaplistings account on Tuesdays, sometimes along with fellow REAL New York salesperson Isaac Silvera. “I get between five to 10 serious leads [each time I do it]. I don’t normally close on the apartment that I show them, but I have closed people on other apartments just by initiating the conversation.”

That’s exactly how Adrianne Gallman, 30, a recent Texas transplant, nabbed a studio rental in Chelsea with high ceilings and original moldings, which she just moved into. A social-media strategist, she found Snaplistings through an online source and began following the account. It didn’t take her long to find Corcoran salesperson Adam Werner, who runs Snaplistings on Mondays. She then e-mailed to tell him what she was hunting for — her wants included being walking distance to her job in the Flatiron District, plus in-building laundry — and the two scheduled a day of in-person showings.

“If I have to schlep around finding somewhere to live, he seemed like a great person to do it with,” says Gallman. “He found me a lot of places that were exactly what I was looking for.”

“How else would I have reached her?” says Werner. “[Snaplistings] magnifies my reach — she already knew me and knew she wanted to work with me before we even met.”
