Most buyers come to us after making an avoidable mistake. This guide covers the decisions that matter most: before you start touring, before you make an offer, and before you sign anything.

This guide will give you

Since 2010, Undivided has advised buyers through some of Manhattan and Brooklyn's most competitive transactions. This guide reflects what we have learned about where buyers lose time, money, and confidence and how to avoid it.

/01

Why most NYC buyers start the financing process too late, and what lenders actually need from you before you begin.

/02

The real cost difference between a condo and a co-op. Not just at purchase, but over time.

/03

What your attorney is looking for in the contract of sale, and the three clauses worth understanding before you sign.

/04

How the board application and bank appraisal run at the same time, and what can quietly derail a deal at this stage.

/05

What experienced buyers do differently in the final week before closing.

My biggest fear working with a realtor is that they'd push me to buy something I didn't want. Mukul proved to be the opposite--he kept an eye out for things I would overlook in the heat of the moment, and kept us honest about what we wanted and what our goals were. I never felt pressured or pushed, instead I felt like I had partner who kept us level-headed and honest with ourselves about what we really wanted and wouldn't compromise as we navigated this journey.

Micky was instrumental in helping us navigate our process and was incredibly patient with us both (i.e., dealing with finance / legal professionals who can often be demanding) and the counterparty (equally demanding in a challenging market). Would very much recommend Micky and his team at Undivided for your next home sale or purchase.

Micky helped us with buying our first home at the peak of a very competitive market. What was different with Micky than majority of other brokers we were introduced to was that he had a lot of compassion, understood our budget and goals and never pressured us into anything we didn’t want to do. He acted as our advisor and friend throughout the entire process and was there for us no matter the time of the day.

Mukul recently helped us purchase a long-term home for our growing family. His negotiation skills and easy manner made everything feel effortless and fun. Most of all, he isn't a salesperson - he is a kind human being that puts the needs of his clients first and foremost in every interaction.
