Harlem Lofts, Inc spares no expense when it comes to staying on top of the market, the community and the real estate industry. Our team markets your property to every real estate professional and direct buyer possible. Below are a few examples of how we stay connected and involved so that your property is marketed in the broadest and more production fashion.
We are members of The Real Estate Board of New York - REBNY.
There are many reasons to join REBNY, but the two most important reasons are adhering to their code of ethics and exposure for our sellers. In short, we participate with over 500 other member firms to expose your property to all potential buyers. As members, we also agree to share our commissions and listings with over 6,000 other agents in Manhattan. There are no questions amongst participating firms concerning commission structures and property exposure. This assures you that your property is being shared with everyone possible and that we are inviting others to bring their clients to us so that you get the best price for your property.
If an agency is not a member of The Real Estate Board of New York, ask them why. Learn more about the REBNY code of ethics here
As members of REBNY, we also have access to sales information immediately through member firms that are required to share. Members get this information much sooner than waiting for it to become public. This keeps us abreast of where the market is today, not 4 months ago. In addition, we subscribe to Compsny.com so that we have access to over 400,000 property tax and assessment records and 20,000 recently recorded sales transactions, as well as a myriad of other services concerning current sales data. This is the actual market when it comes to real estate values. These figures are what appraisers and banks use to assess value. Make sure your agency uses accurate data to price your home. Pricing a home correctly when it hits the market can create the right atmosphere to obtain top dollar. If we list your property, one of our 6,000 participating REBNY members will most likely bring us a buyer willing to pay the top price. We very seldom represent both buyer and seller at the same time in an effort to represent them both well and comply with state law and general real estate ethics.
We are also members of COMPS NY and Property Shark's full service research portal for the most updated Comparative Sales figures.
