Another great broker blog - up there with Urbandigs and truegotham

I've met Mr. Bracha. He impressed me as very impressed with himself.

What a joker!

west81st - haha...very funny!

Apparently having a brain is no requirement for having a blog. Wait a minute....in that case, Rufus should start his own blog. Or maybe Rufus and Bracha can start a littel "he said / she said" blog. It would at least be more entertaining than what either of them posts individually.

WOW, brilliant advice from Mr. Bracha:
"Buy NOW, Thank me later! .... I firmly believe that NOW is the time to buy. "
I am soooooo getting out MY checkbook! Woohoooo!

"I've met Mr. Bracha. He impressed me as very impressed with himself."

LOL... as in... the way Darren Sukenik is impressed with himself???? that would be tough to beat.

Here's a good example of Mr. Bracha's subtle style:
"$ 340,000 OF COMMISSION FOR BUYER'S BROKER!!!!"

That's the description on Elliman's public site, not some private, brokers-only message board.

To make matters worse, it's inaccurate. Bracha just reduced the price from $6.8MM to $5,999,500, but he forgot to recalculate the 3% buy-side commission. Somehow, I don't think he's offering an uneven split to make up the difference.

I would start a new thread but no one would comment. Just want to say thank you to everyone for good information. W81st, you are as good a friend as anyone could ask for.

Oops... 5%.

LookingAround: Glad to hear you find my scribblings useful. Just don't trust my math.

Don't worry - any responsible person will know to do the math!
