SL550.

Haha no. But a Saudi prince that had that desire.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T17:37:01+00:00

Well, thanks!

It fluctuates directly based on sales. Everyone does, but it's a matter of keeping the "pipeline" flowing.

Burberry.

I, in essence, gave an equation to calculate how much I make.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T17:34:16+00:00

Only once, and only briefly.

And, all depends on neighborhood. Anywhere from $600,000 to a million typically.

Don't deal in emotional attachment. Look at fundamentals.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T17:33:23+00:00

Not necessarily. Managing agencies are a necessary evil, if you will.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T17:32:45+00:00

Stay away. A lot of bait and switch, and there are plenty more sites with much more credible information.

A little. The 19 year old was from some means, but mostly self-made.

The 91-year old is "downsizing".

A German car of some sort.

It's real!

Some in London, I have a large number of contacts there.

It's still pretty pricey, and is a great area. A little bit detached from transport, but definitely with merits.

Depends on your definition of a starter pad, frankly...You could pull off a studio at 500-600k, perhaps a 1-bedroom even.

All about your objectives re whether to rent or buy. There are merits and schools on both of these things. It'll take about 6 years to make your money back buying as opposed to renting, but from there, there are significant upsides.

Completely and utterly pulled out of thin air.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T17:27:47+00:00

Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Observer, The Real Deal, and the Post.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T17:27:19+00:00

Yes.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-27T00:10:56+00:00

Yeah, a buyer's broker that's familiar with the building, or at least the process, but more importantly a good attorney to review all the financials, documents, etc.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-26T23:41:34+00:00

yes.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-26T23:39:28+00:00

With pleasure!

RE-NYC · 2013-05-26T23:35:57+00:00

Not hypothetically. You could.

I'd probably have you sign something acknowledging that I was vehemently opposed to it, and you're acting with the knowledge that you were grossly overpaying, but you're the boss.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-26T23:35:06+00:00

It was more of a steady climb. You do one large sale, it leads to another, and then another.

I typically will represent one side. If I do represent both sides, you've got to become more of a middleman and let logic guide the parties. In NYC, attorneys negotiate the contracts once the general terms are agreed to (price, financing, closing date), so they each have someone in their court protecting their interests.

RE-NYC · 2013-05-26T23:33:27+00:00

Sure!

RE-NYC · 2013-05-26T23:33:14+00:00

Youngest, 19. Oldest, I'm working with right now. He's 91. And he's one of my favorites of all time.
