What is a buyer's agent and what do they cost?

A buyer's agent represents your interests at no cost to you. The seller pays both agents' commissions, so you get expert guidance without paying anything out of pocket.

What's the difference between a co-op and a condo?

Co-ops require board approval and restrict subletting but are typically 20-30% cheaper. Condos are easier to buy and sell but cost more.

How long does the NYC home buying process take?

Condos take 60-90 days from accepted offer to closing. Co-ops take 90-120 days due to board approval. Single-family homes typically close in 45-60 days.
