HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE BROKER

A broker is not a broker is not a broker.  There are sales agents with very limited experience, there are associate brokers working for other brokers and then there are Principal Brokers and real estate lawyers holding a real estate license.  There is no fee for NYC home buyers and, for renters, the broker fee does not vary depending on the agent’s experience.  So when dealing with a real estate representative, demand the best. 

Ivona Perecman attended New York Law, where she received a meritorious scholarship and was Law Review Editor and a member of the Dean’s List. She graduated magna cum laude and was admitted to the New York State Bar in 2004.  She is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York. 

OUR SERVICES

EXCLUSIVE BUYER’S and RENTER’S BROKERS

The most common misconception amongst NYC real estate buyers is that “your” agent is looking out for your best interest.  This could not be further from the truth.  The listing agent actually works for the Owner and this does not change simply because you also become his or her client.  The Owner’s broker can represent both the Owner and the Buyer or the Renter, a situation called, Dual Agency, but consumer advocates do not recommend such relationships as involving inherent conflict of interest issues.  When you buy a NYC loft, townhouse or any other condo, you do not pay broker commission but if you contact the Seller’s broker directly, you do not get to have your own broker.  When you rent, typically there is no difference in the amount of the broker commission whether you deal with the Landlord’s agent directly or through another broker.  Most big name real estate companies do not allow their agents to negotiate their fees since a part of that fee goes to the house.   So whether renting or buying NYC real estate, you might as well find the right broker who will make sure your interests are properly represented in the real estate transaction.

As an exclusive client of OHM RE, LLC, you will receive the following services:

• EXCLUSIVITY: we work exclusively for you, representing your best interests.
• INDIVIDUALITY:  we will find you the best match for your lifestyle, budget and, yes, your dreams.

•  FEEDBACK: we will provide you with unbiased feedback and Comparable Market Analysis to make sure you’re on top of the game.
•  NEGOTIATIONS:  having negotiated multimillion dollar civil settlements, Ivona can easily negotiate the price of your dream NYC house and the terms of the transaction so that you get the best possible deal.   

FIND THE BEST NYC LOFTS TOWNHOUSES and CONDOS FOR SALE and FOR RENT

The best NYC lofts townhouses and other NYC apartments often rent and sell within hours of their introduction to the market and, commonly, before even being listed.   OHM specializes in finding unique NYC lofts and other apartments for sale and for rent. Our mission is to find the best NYC lofts townhouses or other NYC apartments for our clients, sometimes even before they are listed so that you are the only buyer or renter making an offer.

ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE in REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Many NYC real estate buyers and renters prefer to keep their real estate transactions confidential.  A real estate broker who is also a lawyer can offer their clients an attorney-client privilege and  set up their real estate transaction to be completely confidential.  When working with a boutique real estate broker such as OHM, you can bypass many unnecessary administrative channels and keep your real estate transaction confidential.
