February 2009
I'm taking a little break and traveling this week. I've been quite busy recently working on new business; resulting in a few half finished posts, while also tweaking the blog's CSS, and refining it's typography and visual elements over the past couple of weeks. Back soon... This is a quick note to announce that I've relaunched the real estate bookshop this week. I'm donating all profits to corcoran cares, an initiative to give back to the communities that we live in and serve.

Putting together the pieces of making an offer and the contract of sale to buy a Manhattan home
We're getting back to basics today with a post that first time buyers will find very helpful. Real Estate Attorney Keith Schuman reviews for us the process of 'going to contract' on a home in New York City. He defines the terms and contingencies which you'll need to think about and negotiate. Speaking of negotiation, that usually starts with someone like me advocating for your interests. Its a long post, with a lot of information. Made even longer by my intro commentary about the marketplace.

Update 2: Soho Townhouse duplex apartment now $7950
We've just improved the price of this ideally located duplex, in a federal style townhouse, to $7950 monthly. It is located on King Street, at the crossroads of Soho and the West Village. The tree lined block is lovely and away from tourist din; but accessible to the shops, restaurants and entertainment, which make downtown living great. It's a spacious and private 2200 square feet (aprox.), with three to four bedrooms, a real roof terrace, wood burning fireplaces, and central air. This unit is a modern, sunny apartment, in which everything has just been renovated. It is vacant and available right now.
