Working together with a buyer’s broker to identify, view, evaluate, negotiate and acquire real estate in New York City is completely free of charge. A buyer’s broker is legally obligated to the buyer’s interests exclusively and an intelligent and diligent buyer’s broker will streamline the search and guide buyers through the entire purchase process.
The New York City real estate market is structured so that the commission payable by the seller at closing is agreed upon before the apartment is listed for sale and subsequently split between the seller’s broker and buyer’s broker at the closing table. In an effort to find a buyer as quickly as possible, brokers use several broker-to-broker databases to “share” or “co-broke” their listings.
This special nuance of the New York market enables experienced buyer’s brokers to give you access to all of the best apartments available in New York and offer their professional representation with no cost or obligation.
Though it has become easier than ever to open your favorite search engine and navigate through countless real estate web sites and advertisements, it’s important to note that according to New York Real Estate Law, developer’s salespersons and seller’s brokers are only obligated to the seller. Often it is the information omitted from advertisements that happens to be the most important.
