77 Park Avenue

an identical apartment is in contract for $979,000 listed at Corcoran

... if you don't start out greedy, better chance of selling

some one Else's ?? where did you go to school Mr. Broker?

what manhattanguy?

Interesting fact that the description said contract needs to be signed by wednesday, but there is an open house on thursday.

verain, what's wrong with you?

Wanted to pick folks' brains here -

How much would you want to be willing to pay for this apartment?

Nothing if I had to deal with verain.

$879,000

The creation of a small second bedroom in this apartment is a negative draw on value. Kitchen needs to be renovated. Half bathroom immediately adjacent to the fridge makes my stomach churn a bit.

One bedroom market is soft today and the apartment was overpriced when it first came to market at $1.15 Million.

A much more recently renovated one bedroom is being offered at $949,000 in the building.

Agree with realestatejunkie.

This was posted only as a discussion topic of the absurdity of the broker at Day Realty.

Despite Manhattan and Kylewest thinking I posted this because I was doing some advertising for myself ... I'm not a broker or involved in real estate, nor have I ever been in this building.

ps - Kyle, you seem to have little patience to deal with anyone. On the thread about Core, one of their sins was that they had a water stained sign in their former office. Woah...

Oh, I can't help myself sometimes. verain, you misread my Core post. What I said was the condition in which Core abandoned their sales office on 23rd St. was less than professional. The place looked like they ran out in the middle of the night, and the best Core could do was post a note on the window of the sort a kid would leave for mom when going out to play. And yeah, the note was dirty and stained. It was pathetic business practice. That was my point. And my point was pretty clear on the post. Somehow, after all these weeks, and countless others chiming in agreeing with me, you still don't get it.

And wrong again about me having "little patience to deal with anyone." I reserve the impatience pretty much for you and stevejhx (although lately steve entertains me more and we've reached a kind of truce I think), and for foolish posters who advance no substantive discussion or who offer ridiculously uninformed information that could easily mislead readers without a working knowledge of NY RE.

Kyle: substantive discussion = excoriating someone for dirty and stained notes on the window.

verain, You think that tame reprimand was "excoriating?" You obviously don't know me. I'll let you know when I'm excoriating so you can tell the difference.

ok, please let me know

true fact that as thing happen i had 2 buyers interested in buying park avenue under 1,000,000.so they could save on the mansion tax, we negotiated to the price to which apartment mention 10H was sold, and for your info the apartment closed on friday and the very nice people from europe who bought it probably did not pay more than $485,000. because there are people like you that arerealy no intouch with the realty, the couple who sold the apartment had a need to move as they had changed their apartment and they were blessed with a child. there are three reasons why people want to buy or sell they have one or two of the following needs I (THEY NEED MORE OR LES SPACE). 2 (THEY HAVE THE FEAR THAT BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC OR FINANCIAL SITUATION IN WHICH THEY HAVE PLACED THEMSELFS THEY WILL LOOSE THEIR LIFE SAVINGS,THEY WILL MISS THE MARKET WHICH COULD BE HAPPENING GOING UP OR GOING DOWN. A YES I DID NOT ADDRESS # 3 GREED IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MOST NEW YORKERS, MOST OF THEM NOW WHAT THEIR DOING LETS TAKE MY SELLER SHE NEEDS MORE SPACE FOR THE THREE YEARS THAT I KEPT THE PRICE SOME WHAT HIGHER AS SHE WOULD HAVE SOLD BUT THE RIGHT OFFER NEVER CAME,BECAUSE NO ONE CARED TO LOOK ABOVE OR BELOW THE SERCH CRITERIA AND AT THE TIME THE MARKET WAS FLYING AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS NEW WAS SELLING WHAT THE COMPUTER PUT INFRONT OF THEM THE SO CALLED ORDER TAKERS,MY SELLER IS A GOOD CUSTOMER AND I WILL BE LOYAL TO HER AS SHE HAS BEEN TO ME. THE APARTMENT I FOUND HER IS GREAT AND SHE LOVES THE BUILDING ALLMOST AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES "THE GRIFFON " THE BUILDING IS A TREAT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST CONDOMINIUMS RUN IN NEW YORK.NOT ONLY THAT HER 11 YEAR OLD LOVES IT TOO. ON THE OTHER HAND THEIR ARE OTHER TRADE OFF'S, LOWER MAINTNANCES FOR HIGHER PRICES, HIGHER MAINTANCES FOR LOWER PRICES . BUT FOR THEEHUNDRED BROKERS THAT I HAVE EDUCATED WHO ARE STILL OUT THERE SELLING AND MAKING A HELL OF A GOOD LIVING, AND UNESTLY WORKING VERY HARD I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS IN A CHOSEN CARRIER MOVE, TEACHERS LAWYERS WIFES INGENEERS DOCTORS CONTRUCTION PEOPLE AND I COULD GO ON FOR EVER. MY JOB IS TO SELL THIS APARTMENT AND I AM GOING TO HAVE OPEN HOUSES UNTIL THE DAY THAT THE DEAL CLOSES AND THE CHECK CLEARS. GOOD LUCK TO THOSE FASE LESS PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THINK THAT BY ME TRYING TO MOVE AN APARTMENT IS NOT TO THEIR LIKING BRING A CUSTOMER I WILL SHOW YOU HOWE SERIOUS I AM ABOUT GETTING THIS CONTRACT READY TO BE SIGNED DAVID DAY

i live next door to 77 park avenue...i rent a rent stabilized studio..i love this prewar condo AND backed out of a deal 10 years ago to buy a 1 bedroom @ 77park avenue - for $175k....the biggest regret of my life!

thank you at least there are some honest people who do understand that as human beens its hard to express everything that transpires in the market and i believe that i have tryed to show unestly what this single mom was waiting to lower her expectations for a while it looked that it was going to keep going up the fact is that it takes patience and understanding that you do not burn your bridges behind you evetually its gone catch up its better to say intelligent statement that can be absorbed and will get good and positive results for those who understand that history repeats it self and this shall also pass when you change the way you see things, the things you see change. and you are not alone we all made that mistake sowere down the line and i am still hopefull that the two guys that backet out last week maybe thjey will change their minds as i am ready to deal. david day

Could someone tell me what "human beens" are?

Buy a punctuation mark.

David, your anger and frustration notwithstanding, what price do you think the apartment trades at?

I'm sorry...is this a joke?

i chalenged some of you to visit the apartment and a very nice gentleman showed up to the open house i thank him for comming it was nice to now that there are some real people out there. and even though i had avery nice turn out, i have as of yet gotten any one to step up to the plate. i only got 3 interested individuals who expressed serious interes and i hope that they will 10 years from now not be regreting not having bought as the gentleman was expressing the fact that if he could had known what he nows today that the 175,000 purchase could be a million dollar apt. today.

this message is fort my english teacher do you think that you could correct all of my postings and my spelling,punctuation, and gramatical errors and post it the way that you feel it should reed. i would love to see how it would be. so far i believe that i have gotten my point accross. and i dont have that spare time to be perfect so a deffer to you to show me how i am stiking to what i now best and thats trying to sell realestate in a tough market. thank you all for the attention that you have given me i can get very wordy aqnd never make my point what do you think. by the way i type with one finger, i am 59 years old, i am partially disabled do to a very serious auto mobile accident and some what handicapt, when i am trying to express my self in writing but i find the exerzice very gratifying.
