building at 150 West 51st Street

I tried contacting the agent Susanne Feldman via phone and email ... she never returns calls or responds. WEIRD! What is wrong with that woman!???

44 rental listing... yes if by dream, you mean looking at 400 different kinds of dog food in Food Emporium... yes! but one wonders, why not 401 kind of dog food?

Suzanne Feldman is the realtor with a listing I am interested in. I have tried to contact her several times by email and by phone. I have left messages on her voicemail but she never seems to respond. Does she check her messages?

Have you tried stopping by her office?

Good building in high foot traffic location- small apartments, former hotel. Condos are priced that way because very difficult to finance

@ Howard35: You asked me whether I tried stopping by her office. To answer your question, ... No I have not stopped by her office. I was wondering whether there would be any point to that. If she cannot answer phone calls or emails, what chance do I have of getting to seeing her? In any case, I live outside NYC and unless I can get an appointment to see her, it would be a wasted trip for me.

Price reduced $50,000 about 16 months ago

610 days on market in StreetEasy

Above are the stats on apt 803. This is the cheapest one at 475K. If in fact it is difficult for financing, why paint yourself into a corner. IMO, not only does this not look good, would you want to actually live there? The fact that the agent does not respond to a potential client is a strange red flag. It looks like a dismal situation all around.

If you are all having trouble contacting a seller's broker. Why not consider contacting an experienced buyer's broker?

Working together with a buyer’s broker to identify, view, evaluate, negotiate and acquire real estate in New York City is completely free of charge. A buyer’s broker is legally obligated to the buyer’s interests exclusively and an intelligent and diligent buyer’s broker will streamline your search and guide you through the entire purchase process.

Though it has become easier than ever to open your favorite search engine and navigate through countless real estate web sites and advertisements, it’s important to note that according to New York Real Estate Law, seller’s brokers are only obligated to the seller. Often it is the information omitted from advertisements that happens to be the most important.

I agree with nforesto.. It blows my MIND that people don't try to take advantage and hire the most experienced broker in NYC for their search. ITS A FREE SERVICE! Maybe you could get away with going to the listing agent in any other city in the US.. you actually probably could. But why risk it? Purchasing a home is one of the biggest purchase/investment you'll ever make. The listing agent can't protect that or even help you in that sense. With 47,500 buildings, 25,000 agents, 10s of thousand of different co-op boards, legalities, taxes, this, that, etc etc etc!!! it should be a no brainier to hire the best buyer's broker NYC has to offer. Building looks alright. I'd rather go to parc vendome though.

There 's absolutely no comparing this property (used to be the old Taft hotel) and Parc Vendome, which has really beautifully laid out apartments, even the studios. Here, at best, they have combined two tiny hotel rooms to create a "one bedroom," lacking a foyer and any semblance of "home." Parc Vendome is a fabulous home -- this is a cheap conversion in a very touristy part of the city.

Building is the ideal pied a terre with numbers that make sense - low common charges, low real estate taxes, premium rents with the ability to rent short term - sounds like an ideal investment to me!

any current issues with this building? I'm a prospective buyer
