I wanted to let you know that Cynthia McKenna is the most professional and competent realtor I have ever dealt with (and my husband and I have moved eight times in the last fifteen years).

we are moving to Newyork

Lirealestateexpert answered:
Welcome to New York!
The first question is....where will you be working? What kind of commute do you wish to do? Do you have any idea about where you would like to live?
Once you have that, then we can begin to narrow your search into a more specific area. I think your starting point begins with the above questions.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions, I would be happy to try to answer them. - Wed May 28 2008, 10:14

You have two years, generally. The issue may be that NYS is making new requirements of agents and you may have to take everything over again. - Mon May 19 2008, 19:17

Question removed

Lirealestateexpert answered:
You have 2 years, after that you would have to retake the state exam and probably the testing. NY has new licensing requirements taking affect in July. - Mon May 19 2008, 16:06

If you do not wish to use the services of a Realtor, I would suggest hiring an appraiser. If you would prefer to get the value yourself, I would suggest tryinghttp:// www.zillow.com orhttp:// www.propertyshark.com - Sun May 18 2008, 12:57
Lirealestateexpert answered:
Requirements for a co-op mortgage may not be harder from the bank, but requirements from the co-op can be. Down payments range from 10% to 25% down. There are no seller concessions. The board will go over your financials as well as the bank. They want to make certain that you can pay the maintenance fees of the co-op. Most agents can tell you what the minimum income is. - Fri May 9 2008, 19:27
