Contemplating lifestyle changes while lounging on the beach of other happy place allows you to connect with life goals and feelings and you may not be thinking about when life obligations get in the way. If new paths beckon you, don’t rush to act on them, better to revisit and reevaluate your new thoughts when you return home to your everyday surroundings. If a change is in the air, you’ll know!

So you're thinking of what comes next and whether it involves a move. Start with answering the following questions:

1. What's my short term goal and my long term goal?

2. Where am I going? Should I buy or rent?

3. How important is it to do renovations vs. minor repairs and staging vs. selling as is?

4. When's the best time to list?

5. How do I go about selecting a broker?

With more than two decades of experience in NYC luxury real estate, along with being the city's first and only licensed Certified Senior Housing Professional®, I would love to help guide you on this journey.

1. Are you pre-qualified for a mortgage?
If not, I have just the right person to recommend to you!

2. What are your must-haves?
"I have to have a view of the river or the park"
"I like quiet and I want to face the courtyard"
"After living with only 2.5 bathrooms, I simply must have 3 now"

3. Are you willing to explore a different neighborhood to find your dream home at a better price?

4. What value does a broker bring?
How much experience do they have? Have they sold in this area before? Do they have connections to designers, contractors, and/or inspectors who can help me determine what additional costs I should expect?

5. Plan for a successful purchase and possible resale.
Think about how long you'll expect to live in your new home. That will help determine expectations in terms of any planned upgrades, especially for resale

Wishing everyone a reflective and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

My bittersweet moment at 100 UN Plaza. Contract is signed and we're preparing to transfer ownership to the happy buyer. I'm starting to remove the staging items that helped sell the apartment for a price that made my sellers very happy.

Now onto selling 160 Central Park South, Unit 915 (aka David Bowie's former home at the Essex House). Click the link in bio for more info.
