Good Morning New York, Real Estate with Vince Rocco

At this hour: So you want to buy a co-op, you’ve done all the leg work and you’re gearing up to take on the co-op board. The bad news is that co-op boards in New York City can operate with complete impunity.

At this hour: There are many reasons why Brooklyn is the bomb right now.

From established neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope to newer areas that are ever changing - Crown Heights, Bedford Stuyvesant and Bushwick.

At this hour: Being a real estate agent is rewarding but also very challenging.

At this hour: Demand for homes has been increasing for the past several years, with Millennials giving it a big push in the suburbs at least.

At this hour: If you are buying a home in NYC, should you hire an agent or broker to represent you? The quick answer is yes.

While you may not have had a great experience with rental agents, buyer’s brokers are not the same as rental agents.

At this hour: Buyers in New York City confront a series of choices: co-op or condo, high-rise or walk-up, a second bathroom or just steps from the subway? But there seems to be consensus on at least one decision — whether to hire a real estate lawyer.

At this hour: How do you think 2017 has shaped or would shape the forecast for 2018 both in cooperatives and condominiums sales in NYC?

Also at this hour: New developments make for solid investment opportunities.

Did you know it’s possible to buy property in New York and pay no mortgage recording tax? The mortgage recording tax ranges from 0.75% to 2.
