House on 2nd St (5th & 6th Ave)
Anyone checked out the house for sale on 2nd Street between 5th & 6th Ave being sold by Century 21? I missed the open house and can't find anything online. I'm assuming it's in rough shape but would love to find our more since the location is attractive. Thanks.

Did you google the exact house number? With those rinky dink Century 21 franchises that's the only way to find the listings, I've learned. There was a house in our neighborhood listed with Century 21 per the sign out front, but the main website for Century 21 isn't updated or maintained so I couldn't find it there. So I googled the house number and street, found it on some other general website like Trulia and saw there was a link to the broker's Century 21 franchise's website. The broker didn't even have the house listed on the NY Times website.

I think it is 407 2nd Street. The Century 21 office in Park Slope says they don't have a house for sale on 2nd Street, and they don't know what office this is being sold from! The number on the sign just goes to voicemail. I can't find anything on the NYT or Google... who would hire a realtor like this to sell their house??!

Maybe they didn't charge as much as some of the other brokers?

If ever there was an example of penny wise, pound foolish... So you save 1-2% on the broker commission, but you sell your house for 10-20% less than you might otherwise! This house would easily attract much more attention in the hands of a competent broker (and I'm no fan of brokers). Still back to my original question, does anyone know ANYTHING about this property? I still haven't gotten a call back from the broker.
