For NYC building owners

Should you sell your building, or keep it?

I'll run the numbers on your property for free: what it would sell for, what you'd walk away with, and what it really earns you as a rental.

What's in your snapshot

What it would sell for

A price range based on recent sales of similar buildings near yours.

What you'd walk away with

Net proceeds after NYC and New York State transfer taxes, commission, and closing costs.

What it earns you today

Your current rents against market rents, and the return you're getting on the equity tied up in the building.

How I work with owners

  1. You get the numbers first

    No pitch, no pressure. You see your snapshot before we talk about anything else.

  2. You pick the path

    Keep it, sell now, or plan a sale in six to twelve months. All three are fine answers.

  3. You set the marketing rules

    Private to my buyer network, quiet to agents only, or full public marketing. Nothing goes anywhere you haven't approved.

  4. I handle the tenants and showings

    I've leased apartments for NYC landlords, so I schedule showings around your tenants and keep them informed.
