Co op closing trouble in Bay Ridge
Inquiring minds want to know... was there a problem closing on a co op sale for Ridge Harbors Owners? Rumor has it that seller was unable to complete the sale. Does anyone know why?

Co op Managing Agents
Tales of Co op managing agents seem to reflect various shades of terrible - disrespectful or nasty,unresponsive to requests for service, corrupt and dishonest, inefficient, etc etc. Are there any professional and sound managing agents out there? Would appreciate contact information for those companies - and, maybe your testimonial. We are researching changing agents and would appreciate input!

I understand your position, however - there are times when someone should be allowed to post critiques anonymously for fear of reprisals. Unfortunately, the industry of real estate and construction is not without those who would take vengenful actions... especially when it hits them in the pocketbook...ne ce pas?

Jay is great. He has worked with some of the most complex situations and come through like blazes. He is not cheap, but you do get what you pay for with regard to integrity and insight. Jay is negotiable and not unreasonable. Talk to him

I would highly recommend Stewart. Not only is he very experienced with co op transactions, he is easy to work with and very responsive!
Good luck

Yes I agree the gratuitous and callous trashing of real estate brokers and agents on this site -- starting with the owner of the site itself -- is irresponsible and juvenile.

Brownstoner - don't censor or contact anyone about the accuracy of their posts - you increase your liability. Keep it free-form and open - DO NOT at anytime contact any user to confirm their statements - you are increasing your responsibility and liability! DON'T

Cooperator, while I only have good things to say, contact me at my name + aol.com, and I will explain why I can't really comment substantively yet.

There are many many reccomendations for this Alex Fradkoff as an architect on your site. If you leave them there, but censor the feedback that he is not in fact an architect, you are perpetuating the fraud. Why don't you instead check to see if he is in fact a registerd architect,and check records of all litigation against him, then post the results of that inquiry. It is a very serious thing for someone who is not a liscenced architect to pretend to be one. Architects are liscenced to protect the public safety...work not to code can cause all kinds of problems, financial, and also in terms of safety.

Moving Your Way gave me a fair estimate, showed up right on time, and when it came time to pay there were no surprises! I highly recommend them.

Thanks
