READ THE BUILDING FIRST
A beautiful unit in a poorly run building is a problem waiting to happen.
I read the association's financials, the reserves, and what the monthly fee really covers before you fall for the kitchen, so you know exactly what you're buying into.
The fee tells a story
A higher fee often buys concierge staff, a doorman, on-site management, and a well-funded reserve, which protects your resale value. A suspiciously low fee can mean an underfunded building and a special assessment waiting to happen
New building or classic conversion
Newer full-service buildings give you amenities, parking, elevators, and low maintenance. A converted brownstone gives you character, scale, and a location that can't be rebuilt. I'll help you weigh the trade-offs that actually matter to you.
Getting into the strongest buildings
The strongest buildings move on relationships and timing, and some units are spoken for before they reach the open market. Staying connected to the right people is part of what I bring to a search like this.
