Session 1: The Basics of Home-Buying in NYC 

In our first event, StreetEasy economist Nancy Wu gave an overview of the current NYC housing market. She also offered helpful instructions for using StreetEasy data to make informed shopping decisions. Next, StreetEasy product manager Peter Lim explained the StreetEasy tools and features we created to make your home search more efficient.

Afterward, Compass agent and certified StreetEasy Expert Scott Savory joined to discuss how he helps New Yorkers go from dreaming about a home to successfully closing on one. He focused on three key stages every hopeful homeowner needs to navigate — and the industry pros you want to have in your corner for each. 

As a reminder: StreetEasy can help you discover and contact buyer’s agents, like Scott, through the StreetEasy Experts program. These agents and teams have verified experience in the buildings and neighborhoods you’re searching. Simply launch a search with one or more neighborhood filters, scroll to the bottom, and click “Match With Agent.” Or connect with an Expert or team right from a sales listing you’re interested in.
