manhattan real estate: Selling Manhattan "AS IS" Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware)
- 03/25/11 04:47 AM
I usually preface my blog posts and comments with the statement: "Real Estate is Local." Laws vary from state to state. Real estate practices vary from state to state. Real estate practices vary within a state. New York City has many of it's own laws and regulations and Manhattan is a unique place in the real estate Universe. New York is a *Title state many other states are **Escrow states. In Manhattan we sell properties "AS IS." What does "AS IS" Condition Mean? Contract contains "as is" language - "official notice" of the property's condition. The purchaser must rely upon its … (11 comments)
manhattan real estate: Buying? Selling? Renting? Leasing? Have it Your Way in Manhattan, NYC
- 11/29/10 03:30 AM
I just read an article in The Real Deal about 10 US cities where it is sensible to rent. According to data compiled by Trulia, NYC ranked number one on a list of national cities that are most ideal for renting. The list was based on home prices vs rental prices. All of the cities where it makes sense to rent have a strong housing market, local economy and good jobs. While it may be a buyer's market in many places, those places with high home costs, renting is a viable option since it will cost less to rent than to … (25 comments)

manhattan real estate: My First Blog Post - Slightly Ahead of My Time
- 02/08/09 10:32 AM
I started my business blog on June 23, 2006 right before I discovered Activerain. It was pretty dead slow in the city the summer of 06. The internet had changed the real estate industry in many ways but not the the importance of the role of an expert local REALTOR®. There were so many websites, portals, and lead generators spewing information. Many were from out-of-state, some even have NY brokers licenses but many were masquerading as Manhattan brokers through key words on anonymous parked sites. I wanted to create a blog about the complexities and peculiarities of buying and selling residential … (7 comments)

manhattan real estate: Understanding (and loving) Manhattan
- 08/16/06 06:06 AM
Before you come to love Manhattan, you must understand our peculiar housing market. Manhattan is a unique place in the real estate universe. Not only does it have a large rental market (75% of the available housing units vs. about 5 - 10% in other markets), but it has ownership and other important differences that are often puzzling to newcomers. Showings normally 9 - 5 p.m. (7p.m. the latest) Most co-ops have restrictions on showing times that vary widely, but must be adhered to. Some buildings do not even allow weekend showings. Sunday Open Houses are the way to go Condos and some co-ops … (2 comments)
