Buyer representation
An agent who works only for you, from the first showing to the closing table.
New build, better terms
Independent guidance on sponsor units, from the offering plan to tax abatements and the punch list.
How it works
Sponsor sales teams are paid by the developer. We are not. We compare new development units against resales in nearby buildings, read the offering plan amendments and negotiate closing credits, storage, parking or transfer tax contributions.
Before closing we attend your walkthrough with a punch list, and we check the temporary certificate of occupancy and the status of any 421-a or 485-x abatement.

New development, answered
New buildings have modern systems and amenities but usually a price premium and higher closing costs. Resales can offer more space for the money. We run both scenarios for you.
A temporary certificate of occupancy lets residents move in before the final certificate is issued. Closings on new condos usually require at least a TCO.
