Tips in decent class buildings (not Park and Fifth Avenues) run between $20 and $300, and it's not uncommon for supers to accumulate well into the five figures.
Porters and doormen see anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000, depending on the size of the … (0 comments)

real estate agents: Why Hiring A Real Estate Agent Is More Advantageous Than Buying/Selling/Renting Yourself - 07/07/07 10:18 AM

When you hire a real estate agent to sell your home or represent you in purchasing a home, you get … (0 comments)
