Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. Some people are very decisive. Black and white. I love it. I hate it. They know what they want.  Others, well, can’t decide if their life depended on it. Well, what if their housing depended on it? Anyone who has decided to make a move will be faced with many decisions, and they start before you even open a door, so today we wanted to discuss how we help buyers with decisions and give you some tips on weighing options and how to think to hopefully save you time and help you with the big decision of moving.

Knowing your motivation for buying or selling is critical in moving forward. Sharon and I had worked with buyers and sellers who found it hard to pull the trigger either when they received an offer or when we found the perfect home. It typically comes down to not being clear on why you’re making a move in the first place. Understanding why you’re moving makes it easier to pull the trigger once you arrive at the decision point.

Imagine this. You come to NYC maybe 7 or 8 times a year due to work, and you start loving it here. Or maybe during college, you spent some time here, and even though you don’t live here now, you want to own. Or maybe you are working here, and you would instead buy vs. rent, but you’re not from the united states, and you hold your citizenship elsewhere. So now what? Can you buy something in NYC? We have helped buyers from other countries purchase condos, townhouses, and even co-ops, but there are some things you want to consider before you get started. So today, we wanted to give you a brief overview of some things to consider before you start your search.

Before looking at properties, you want to understand the tax implications for buying and selling in another country. It’s best to speak with an international tax accountant and an attorney so that you can understand the financial ramifications of owning in NYC. If you decide to buy in NY, it’s best to understand condos and townhouses will be the most specific properties to purchase. While you can buy a co-op, you want to make sure that they allow foreign purchases, and if it’s going to be a pied-a-terre, they also allow that. We have both helped plenty of foreign buyers purchase, so it’s possible, but it does require a bit more investigation at the start so that you know if it will make sense for you.

Happy New Year! We can’t believe it’s another year. Time flies, as you know, and before we know it, we will be in the Spring market. We thought it would be a good time to talk about getting your home ready if you are thinking about selling, what steps you should take first and how you can look at your property from a buyer's perspective.

Prepare, prepare, prepare! We think it’s essential to be ready before you list instead of just throwing a property up on the market and making changes as you go. You will never get a second chance to make a first impression, so make sure you put your best foot forward when listing. We recommend looking at the property through a buyer's eyes and what you might love. You want to balance your taste and what might appeal to most people. Go back to the basics, so a fresh coat of paint, clean windows, and a deep clean are great places to start before letting the first buyer in through the door. To maximize profits and keep days on the market low, you want to ensure your place shines from Day 1.
