The perfect finish to an apartment hunt
I received this note today from a couple, whom I had the privilege of helping buy their first coop apartment. A nice pre-war unit at 350 East 77th Street. I met them at an open house when I was listing a unit for sale there, which lead to a long search, all over the upper east side. It was a real roller-coaster ride, and a bit too long a story to tell here. In the end they found the perfect one bedroom home, directly across the hallway from the unit where I'd met them! I do deals in every price category, but there are no small deals. It is almost always the largest transactions in a person's lifetime. I never loose sight of that. Great customers deserve a great experience. I so appreciate the thoughtfulness of this note, thanks Evan & Natalie!
I'm pleased to announce my sale of this historic mixed-use loft building at 177 Franklin Street, in the heart of Tribeca. Built around 1920, this masonry building has been reinforced with structural steel, new elevator, and all new mechanical systems. The property is slated for redevelopment into a single family townhouse, or may be converted to a mixed-use condominium project. It is an ideal property for an end user that would like to create a home, operate a business, produce rental income, or any combination of the above; all in Manhattan's best neighborhood. I represented the new owners who are thrilled with their buy. It's been re-listed with Corcoran, and is available now for viewing. I'm familiar inside and out with every detail. Nothing would make me happier than to represent you as the next owner of this fine building, which embodies such enormous potential.
