About Buying
Do buyers need a broker? Yes, absolutely! A broker handles all the (extensive) legwork of finding the right property, guiding you through making an offer, negotiating on your behalf and walking you through the application process.
New York City is unique in its style of buying property. The great majority of buildings are "co-ops" which require an application process second to none. My experience navigating this process and knowing what questions to ask will ensure that you have the best odds of success.
As a Buyer's Broker, it does not cost you anything. Although my compensation comes from the Seller's commission, it's still my job to work solely in your interest and make sure you get the property you want at the best price, with the right terms.
