Can a Borker please add some value to this discussion... no jedi trick a real request...

Then they would actually be accountable for something besides hosting open houses. It would be nice but will probably never happen.

You're asking for someone with a GED or a high school diploma to be responsible for something. It's not going to happen.

what a dumb question.

for condos, it is required to be accurate and is.
for co-ops, square footage is a guestimate because it cannot be sold as square footage. you are buying shares in the co-op not square footage.

if you doubt what it is advertised, do it yourself.

that is the dumbest thread i have read today.

There was a lawsuit in the 80s about co-op square footage, and for a decade we did not provide square footage for co-ops at all. Now the practice is to supply the condo square footage that's in the offering plan (which is overestimated because it includes the thickness of the walls, but that's an overestimation made by the seller, not by the agent) and to "estimate" co-op square footage.

It is assumed that the buyer of the product will take his own measurements on the unit, which he/she is buying a proprietary lease for, just as it's assumed that the buyer of a car will kick the tires.

Our firms do carry professional insurance, that's one cost that's built into our fees.

Frankly, Ali, that's BS. Kicking the tires is akin to inspecting the details. Lying about square footage (not accusing you, but I'm sure you know many of your colleagues do that) is akin to lying about the model number of the car you're selling, and expecting potential buyers to notice when they see it in person. Sure, they'll notice, but its still an incredibly stupid practice.

kingdeka... chk the golf thread... don't make me do my jedi mind trick on your silly (scratch that )... .flacid butt... :)

How about a three dimensional calculation as a 4,000sft 3 foot high apartment does me no good... might work as my daughter's playhouse. As we are adding flavor to this discussion, think outside the box you moron.

Yep in my co-op, I live in the shares... not the actual sq.ft.... still a moron...

Having everyone calculate a calculation that is so central to the transaction would be moronic.... yep still a moron ... how about if you had to re-melt every gold brick to do a transaction... is that what you are suggestion... yep... watch out for my ferragamo....

Some douche-bags RE borkers on SE... I see you are one of them.... yep u still moron...

how's it feel to be disintermediated out of a job.... if you see me ladling out the soup to u at sacred heart on 52nd st... say hi...

west 67th street, what are you talking about? what thread?

some of these new guys like jgr, w67thstreet, Admiral, make me long for the annoyances of old like Wilson, Steve, Peterfitz,

add mitch2 to the new list

and the matumbo guy to the new list, and Mafia and dco to the old list

finally ... I get some respect!

king.... "w67thstreet... gonna hit some"

The way I read it, he or she embarassed you. His or her comments about you were funny. I laughed. Sorry, bud, that one went to exit.

lol @ "borkers"

here's comes the other ferragamo.... duck!

exit2 lives off of Cypress Exit.. and is in fact a black female RE broker.... Let's see her get a new handle and get on this board.... I'm being a gentleman... and not publicly outing her yet as I am sure her racist remarks was just a "moment."

But exit2... I've changed my schedule for the few months to Chelsea piers for Wednesdays at 7 or 8ish... pls don't scratch my new 997 Turbo (blk)... I've parked it near a security camera (I've been going to chelsea piers for like years and know the help)... so just come up to me and whisper west 67th? And bring your hood friend Dimas....

I'll give you a snow day for saturday.... :)

someone else besides king chime... in your opinion may be biased due to my calling you a "moron" and outing you as a RE broker.... :)

I no longer read most of w67thstreet's comments - they are absolutely incomprehensible and frustrating to try to decipher. It's a shame because he/she may be making some intelligent points, but the packaging is horrific.

buster2056.. point taken.. .I'll take the little yellow ones. :)

mav gets me :)

is a borker like a fluffer?

Hearing some of the borkers speak.. .it seems like they use all their "assets" to get a deal done... not much of a slippery slope to fluffer :)

Some titles for RE Borker porn:
Open House;
I'll do that for 6%;
Agent Rachel... check out the view;
Tina... put "in" a bid.

LMAO... pls feel free to add :)

buster2056... just when I think I'm out, they just keep pulling me back in....

"Never Goes Down"

nyc10022... that's a good one.

"Hardwood"

Is w67th the same as today's mitch2?

gleeclub... one in the same... it's hard to keep up with all my handles: exit2, mitch2, himwhoknows, himwhoknows2,stevehjx, nyc10022, gleeclub :)

your comments are the worst on this board. why do you even post here? you are a dispicable human being.

Yes, better to spend your time shilling Chicago. Then you'd be a GREAT human being like gtt.

sorry for the diversion.

Ali G.. come on now.. if you can calculate your commission down to the nth decimal, as a "profession" you guys could provide a "real" (I'm using air quotes) standard by which we can all compare units. I don't care if you live in CPW, Park Avenue or Cypress Hill... if you live in a multi-unit dwelling,
you live in a "box." And you compare boxes based on a 3 dimensional calculation... I understand some building have more structural walls etc... so here's my crack at the new measurements if brokers aren't ready to step up:

Net Iivable area = Square footage (dry wall to dry wall of unit being measured to all common elements or other units abutting to and adjacent to measured unit) minus square footage of all structural elements within the unit being measured. Additionally an "average height" measurement needs to be included to get rid of the 3 foot high units being sold in Brooklyn by exit2.

for nyc10022 eyes only... all others that may be offended think of sesame street: "I'll show it to you in inches" - as we are talking about measuring things.... I just couldn't help it... where r my yellow pills....

gtt... here comes the jedi mind trick...

gtt... what's your gig on-line? How do you know what a fluffer is? Is your husband spending way too much time on "SE"? Do you know there is this one guy in Ohio that buys $12B worth of adult entertainment every year.. I'm sure it's not your husband, your dad, your grandpa or your teenage son locked up in his bdrm.

LMAO... just try to keep it semi-on-topic.... "measurements."

Oh.... gtt you too r a borker.... broker.. I mean... :)

This is too easy....
