Is a co-op purchase the same as a condo purchase?
No. The ownership structures, approvals and association processes differ. Confirm what the specific property and your financing require with the appropriate professionals.
New York / Residential real estate
Make your next home decision with greater clarity.
Buying or selling a home is both a personal milestone and a significant transaction. EXITCRG's New York brokerage approach begins with property facts, relevant market evidence and a clear understanding of the process.
Discuss residential propertyFor owners and sellers
Before setting an asking price
Property facts first
Gather the property type, current condition, carrying costs, occupancy, improvements and any known restrictions before preparing a sale.
Relevant comparable sales
Check similar properties rather than broad averages. Condition, floor, outdoor space, financing rules and transaction timing can change the comparison.
Plan the diligence
Co-ops, condominiums, townhouses and smaller residential buildings involve different association, title, condition and legal questions. Involve your attorney where appropriate.
For buyers
Beyond the listing price
Define the budget completely
Consider available financing alongside recurring taxes, maintenance or common charges, insurance and reserves for repairs.
Evaluate the building and ownership
Ask about building condition, association rules, restrictions, inspection findings and lender requirements, not only the advertised sale price.
Understand representation
Discuss agency relationships, the applicable New York disclosures and the role of counsel before committing to an agreement.
Questions buyers and sellers ask
The right details make a difference.
Does an online home estimate determine my sale price?
Online estimates are reference points, not inspections or appraisals. Comparable sales, condition, restrictions and recent buyer activity require property-specific review.
