Why hire BARAK Realty?
Anyone who has tried to sell a property on his/her own can tell you that a broker’s commission is not only worth it, the broker’s commission generally pays for itself. It’s time-consuming hard work selling a property, and harder still to sell it for the maximum price. That requires up-to-the-minute knowledge of this fast-paced Manhattan market with all its ins and outs. Here are the reasons why selecting the right agent makes all the difference:


Market Research and Correct Pricing:
The BARAK Realty Pricing Team will research the present market conditions instantly and advise you on correct pricing strategy. Our agents have access to actual comparable sales and will tell you what sellers actually got for their properties, not only what they asked for. Additionally, our contacts in the industry allow us access to “accepted offers” and “contract signed” prices which are not yet public. Providing you access to our comprehensive database will assure that you price your property correctly – the key to achieving the highest price at the shortest time.

Comprehensive and Target Marketing: Maximum Exposure Equals Maximum Price:
To get you the highest price for your property, we give it the widest exposure. The BARAK Realty Marketing Team will recommend the best marketing, promotion and advertising plan, and will help you set realistic goals. Each plan is custom-designed with your individual requirements and goals in mind. And if the market shifts, we'll advise you of a need to shift strategy, in order to stay current and competitive.

Showings,Negotiations, and Qualifying Buyers
Showing your apartment requires serious time commitment and careful coordination. It is usually not a good idea for the owner to be present at the showings since buyers are less comfortable asking direct questions and examining the property with the owner nearby. Remember, offers in New York City are verbal, and contracts have financing and board approval contingencies. It is imperative for an experienced professional like ours at BARAK to determine which offers are serious and which prospects can actually obtain financing, pass the board and ultimately close. The agent you choose will help evaluate each offer, interview prospective buyers, and conduct credit reports and other financial investigations on your behalf, if applicable. The New York market has gotten trickier in recent years because of the soaring value of apartments. You need to choose an agent you can trust and you should probably start here.

Making Things Happen
Your BARAK agent will assure timely execution of the contract, assist the buyer in obtaining financing, coordinate appointments with appraisers, inspectors and contractors and recommend qualified professionals. If problems or questions arise between buyer and seller, the creative and skilled agent will mediate and solve. The agent will coordinate between the lawyers, managing agents, banks and boards in order to assure a smooth and expeditious closing. We look forward to your great big smile at the end of our successful partnership.
