Can a rental apartment in NYC be represented by more than one broker?

apartment rental

My girlfriend and I are using a broker, and have found a really nice place.
However, although we applied, and have perfect credit etc, the broker appears to be dragging his feet.
He says we pretty much have it but has just stopped short of saying itis a done deal.
It has been five days and no lease has been signed, so the apartment is stil for rent.
I am worried that another broker will get the apartment rented to someone else and we will lose it.

it’s not yours until you sign a lease & give them a deposit.
