01
Review building-level evidence
Compare recent sales in the same building or similarly situated properties when available. Account for co-op versus condo ownership, monthly charges, floor, light, layout, and outdoor space rather than relying on a broad Manhattan average.
02
Confirm the sale materials
Request the latest building rules, financial information, fees, and application steps. If a property includes altered or loft-like space, verify how it may be described before marketing it. Ask your attorney about any transaction-specific questions.
03
Set expectations for the timeline
Coordinate photography and showing access around your schedule. Leave room for financing, contract review, and building procedures after an offer, especially if another purchase depends on the sale.
