Discussion about
Hello, I am curious about purchasing in a unit in a building that is expected to begin construction next year from a fairly reputable developer. However, I am not sure how to go about this. I have been in touch with the developer but I'm wondering: 1. Do I need a broker for preconstruction sales? Or do I deal directly with the developer? 2. Would I ask the developer for some type of pricing sheet? Or would I just get in touch with an attorney? Thanks.

A buyer's broker with experience in new construction should be very helpful..The commission for a buyers broker is paid by the seller, in this case the developer, sponsor .

if you go without broker they might be able to pay for your transfer tax. I was offered this althought didnt end up buying one.
But if it's just a condo do own research and go by yourself and get 3% discount which is normally offered to agent.

What new building under construction on the UES has a little dispute going on with the Architect vs. the concrete guys?
The construction appears to be on hold until remedies are addressed.
