The holiday season is here and it's time to start thinking about tipping for services in our apartment buildings. For those living in Manhattan, holiday tipping is the norm and can seem endless.

Some of the reports attributed the second-quarter price drop-off to sales back in early 2008 of high-priced units at The Plaza and 15 Central Park West. Some apartments at those luxury buildings sold for as much as $4,000 per square foot in the second quarter of last year.

Yet she had no idea that she could have her own broker represent her.Working with a Buyer's Broker offers buyers every advantage. The Buyer's Broker works solely for the buyer, yet they work with ALL of the Seller's Brokers -- especially in Manhattan. This means that buyers can preview apartments from … (0 comments)
