Buyer representation
An agent who works only for you, from the first showing to the closing table.
Pass the board first time
Most Brooklyn apartments are co-ops. We assemble, audit and submit board packages that answer questions before they are asked.
How it works
A co-op board can reject a buyer without giving a reason, and an incomplete package can add weeks to your closing. Each building has its own requirements for financial statements, reference letters, tax returns and post-closing liquidity.
We build a checklist from the managing agent's instructions, assemble every document, calculate your debt-to-income ratio and post-closing liquidity the way the board will, and flag weak spots in advance. Then we prepare you for the interview.

Co-op board packages, answered
Yes, as long as the reason is not discriminatory under fair housing laws. A strong, complete package is the best protection.
Usually house rules, renovation plans, how you will use the apartment and a light review of your finances. It is typically 20 to 40 minutes.
Condos usually have a simpler application and a right of first refusal, which is almost always waived.
