If you are Thinking about Buying without a Broker....

...You may want to think again.

IN this do-it-yourself era of online real estate listings, it is easy to find out what is on the market, visit open houses and even research sales data to come up with a reasonable price to offer for a home.

So why should a buyer bother using an agent?

In a nutshell: to protect his or her interests in an expensive, often complex purchase that can become even more complicated by the labyrinthine co-op approval process in New York City.

The bottom line is that Buyer's brokers work for the buyer for FREE....the seller pays the commission. And, every seller has representaion of a broker. Brokers are by nature top negotiators. So, doesnt it make sense to have your own representative?
