On the other hand,JULIE COHEN from Bklyn Hghts Real Estate is a wonderful broker.
All realtors care about is getting commission. They’re highly paid chapparons — nothing more.
Yes, they often help coordinate real estate transactions as well — since it’s so easy for a deal to fall apart before a contract is signed a deposit is paid.
If they don’t speed things along, they don’t get paid!
I think it is realtors everywhere who seem or play ignorant about building structure, stats (heating costs, taxes,etc). Reveal as little as possible.
Is it me or do realtors in NYC not deliver the same type of service as elsewhere? Many are bad about returning phone calls, knowing features of property, etc.
Me too. He’s not too nice of a person. He was rude to me on the phone when I did finally catch up with him.
He’s like a person who says take it or leave it and doesn’t bother to tell you about the features of a house.
I completely agree.
I haven’t much luck dealing with this realtor. He doesn’t call you back, and if you don’t have tons of money really isn’t that helpful.
Anon, the sales information comes from the mortgage being recorded, which generally happens shortly after closing. So an offer was most likely accepted in June and the deal just closed. The closing usually takes 60 to 90 days from an offer being accepted, so this was probably a May or June deal.
I don’t understand. I was trying to put a bid on 687 Macon back in June and was told by Luchesse (sp?) that it was a done deal. How is it just sold now and how has it been sitting on the market for 3.5 months?
