Ive got quite a bit of time before my kids decide to make this type of leap, but we would definitely call you first. These are great tips, especially for anyone out of the country since they may not be as familiar with the process.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Many out of town buyers have different ideas of how a Real Estate transaction works even though REAL ESTATE is LOCAL. To buy in Manhattan New York, we always prepare our buyer on the entire process before they arrive in NYC so they can locate a suitable condo in the most ideal time frame.

Eileen...I think buyers who are not familiar with the NYC market do not understand how different it is from everywhere else in the Country! They would be wise to contact you...when I decide to retire to NYC (yes I am almost that old) I will be contacting you
