I have been doing this for years and can easily get you the most exposure. My company is a giant in the industry here, part of a mega umbrella of over four MASSIVE agencies. Once I have the address of the building, I can send you comparables as well as history of the building.
Give a native New Yorker the exclusive and let's get your home sold for the best possible price you can get!

Absolutely only use a MANAR member (only we are REALTORs and therefore subscribe to the highest code of ethics) and absolutely use a company that is not just a local NYC company but one that is local, national and international. Also use one that is part of the largest relocation network. Then in that company, find an extremely hardworking agent with great negotiating an problem-solving skills. Oh, that's me and my company. Let's talk!

Give me a call at (718) 698-2179 at Prosperity Real Estate Group, I can help you answer any questions you may have, this is not commitment to come with us. YOu can come and inquire about this even if you are already working with someone. Buying a properity is a constitutional right, and we are here to make sure you are not provided with erroneous information. We welcome this questions because it allows us to do research for you and ourselves which we can share with others.

Just to add to what's been said before. Since co-op sales are more complex and require extensive documentation, it is essential that any agent you chose has experience selling co-ops. In addition, agents who have sold in the building are likely (but not always) to know the particular rules and procedures of your particular co-op. Also, you might want to get an opinion from the managing agent as to recommendations. If I can be of any help, call me at 646-714-2720. I am an attorney and coincidentally had a client buy at Turtle Bay.
Good luck Anne.

Alison, with all due respect the questioner is asking for a REALTOR® to sell her apartment in Manhattan not in another state.

Only MANAR members are REALTORS® in Manhattan. DG Neary is a member of MANAR therefore your listings can go in the Manhattan MLS.

Technically you are a REALTOR in Manhattan through your broker of record in Manhattan not through your license in another state.

Hi Anne!

In addition to many of the other fantastic suggestions below, I agree with Alison's suggestion of interviewing agents that have a track record of selling in your building or neighborhood [Turtle Bay]. These agents generally have a deeper understanding of the building, it's financials and it's policies. This intimate building knowledge is quite valuable.

Good Luck!

Mitchell, you are right to point out to the questioner the worth of a trade association -- its members adhere to minimal ethical standards, among other things -- but it's not technically true that only MANAR members are REALTORS.

I'm not a MANAR member but I'm an NAR member, and therefore a REALTOR, through my license in another state.

I would recommend Aileen. She received the Best Answer nod from you. She is a consummate professional. She works and lives on the east side of Manhattan and is a REALTOR®. Only members of Manhattan Association of REALTORS® and members of MLS Manhattan that adhere to the code of ethics can be called REALTORS®. Most real estate agents in Manhattan are not REALTORS®. You will be in great hands with Aileen. Good Luck!

I love Alison Rogers' book "Diary of a Real Estate Rookie," and enjoy reading her articles in Inman News. I agree with everyone here so far and also am encouraging you to take your time to find an agent you can trust to look out for your best interests. What a person wants and what a person needs is not always necessarily what they wind up with. You are looking for someone who is realistic about the market trends, yet creative enough in their marketing approach to effectively expose your home to enough searchers so the right buyer will find it and possibly make you an offer.

To aid you in your home buying or selling process, our website offers a wealth of information, so please feel free to visit our Resource Center at http://www.TannStarr.com and select the REMAX icon to check out the Buyers and Seller section tabs.

In today's real estate market, you need to work with a company you can trust that has professionals you can rely on. Whether you are buying or selling your primary residence, a second home, or relocating to a new neighborhood, RE/MAX People Realty can help make your homeownership dreams come true.

P.S. So can all of the other R.E. agents on Trulia.com taking the time out to answer your question. Take your time, explore all of our websites, email or call, which ever feels comfortable for you. It is an important decision that shouldn't be rushed. This is your home we are talking about. Your new home may depend upon the proceeds from your old home. Everyone wants the most bang for their buck. Wishing you the best with your sale. Enjoy your day. Regards, C.

1) interview three realtors and ask them what your apartment will sell for. The one who quotes you the lowest price is probably the most honest.

2) discuss upfront what can go wrong. I wrote an article about this in the November issue of Money magazine -- my main point was you need to explore all scenarios, positive and negative, at the beginning. What will you do if your apartment doesn't get foot traffic after three weeks? If it goes into contract and falls out again?

3) You may want a realtor who is experienced in selling your specific building -- if you want to email me at ali [at] dgneary [dot] com with your address, I will tell you who has experience there specifically.

good luck!

1.) Ask them to provide a written guarantee of their marketing plan.
2.) Make sure they're going to do more than have open houses and ads in the paper.
3.) Make sure they put your apt in front of as many buyers as possible - local, national and international (have a STRONG internet presence).
4.) Make sure your communication is with them directly and not an assistant.
5.) Make sure they treat you with respect.

You're likely going to pay your broker 3% to sell your home. Make sure they earn that commission. Need more advice? Feel free to contact me privately.

Anne, Jacky Teplitzky is a top agent working out of Prudential Douglas Elliman's 575 Madison Avenue
office. She's a coop/condo expert specializing in Eastside area properties. Her telephone # is (212) 891-7263. I've added a link to her webpage. You'll be in great hands. Good luck. Gerry

The best way in my opinion is to ask a freind or a relative who they used. Your doorman is a great resource and may have the inside track on a great agent. Who knows, you may even have an agent who lives in your building and is a specialist in your building.

Use someone you can find readily on the web. There are a number of places including Trulia to research the kind of Realtor you want to work with. This is a relationship so you definitely want to like who you are dealing with and make sure they are competent.
