Co-ops are 75% of NYC's apartment inventory. Lower entry prices, established buildings, board-approval expertise. Let Milton guide you through the process.
What makes co-ops stand out in this market
Co-ops typically sell 15-30% below equivalent condos. More value per square foot in NYC's most established addresses.
A portion of your monthly maintenance covers property taxes and underlying mortgage interest, which may be tax-deductible.
Most pre-war buildings with original details like herringbone floors, high ceilings, and ornate lobbies are co-ops.
Board review of residents means buildings tend to be financially stable with low default rates and strong reserve funds.
Co-op buyers submit a detailed package: financials, tax returns, employment letters, and personal references. Milton prepares yours.
Most co-ops limit financing to 70-80% of the purchase price. Some require all-cash. Know the building's rules before making an offer.
Most co-ops restrict or prohibit subletting. Pied-a-terre use and pure investment purchases are often not permitted.

From the initial offer through closing, Milton was responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to answer questions and explain the details. I always felt informed and supported, but never pressured. If you're looking for a broker who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed, I would absolutely recommend Milton."

The median asking price for co-ops in Riverdale is currently $300,000, trending +10.1% year-over-year. Co-ops typically cost 15-30% less than equivalent condos in the same area.
Board approval requires submitting a board package with financial statements, tax returns, bank letters, references, and an employment letter. After package review, approved buyers are invited to a board interview. Milton prepares your package and coaches you for the interview.
A flip tax is a transfer fee charged when co-op shares are sold. It is typically paid by the seller (1-3% of sale price or a per-share amount), though terms vary by building. Milton reviews every building's house rules before you make an offer.
Board package prep included. 25+ years of co-op expertise. Free consultation.
