$2M+ Sellers

Selling Above $2 Million

A higher price point changes the work. Fewer qualified buyers, a longer runway, and more moving parts before you ever list. Here is how I handle a sale in this range.

Discreet Marketing

Not every seller wants a public listing on day one. When privacy matters, I can market your property quietly first, through direct outreach to qualified buyers and their brokers, before anything goes live on the portals.

  • Pre-market outreach before a public launch
  • Controlled, appointment-only showings
  • No public price-history trail if you test the market first

Tax Planning, Before You List

At this price point, capital gains and a possible 1031 exchange can move the number that lands in your account by more than the sale price itself. I am a broker, not a tax advisor, so my job is to get the right people at the table early.

  • A capital-gains conversation with your CPA before we price
  • 1031 exchange timing coordinated with a qualified intermediary
  • A list of professionals to choose from if you need one

A Qualified Buyer Pool

Buyers at this level are a smaller group, and reaching them is about relationships, not just a listing feed. I have spent more than two decades building a book of NYC clients and broker contacts, and I sit inside the Keller Williams NYC referral network.

  • Direct broker-to-broker outreach on higher-price inventory
  • Keller Williams NYC network reach
  • Buyers surfaced through 25 years of NYC relationships

Some of the deals I have closed are at miltoncoste.com/listings, sorted by price point. If you are weighing a sale above $2M and want a private conversation first, that is the place to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your pricing strategy different from Zillow's Zestimate?

Unlike automated estimates, I analyze building financials, co-op board requirements, recent comparable sales, and current market conditions specific to your property. NYC real estate is too complex for algorithms.

How long does it take to sell a NYC apartment?

Average time on market varies by neighborhood and price point. In my experience, properly priced properties in Upper Manhattan typically sell within 60-90 days. I'll give you realistic expectations based on current market data.

What are the costs of selling a co-op or condo in NYC?

Typical seller costs include broker commission (negotiable), transfer taxes (1-2%), flip tax (if applicable, 1-3%), and attorney fees. I'll provide a complete net sheet so there are no surprises.

Do you work with sellers outside Manhattan?

Yes! I help sellers throughout NYC (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx) and the Hudson Valley. My experience spans all five boroughs and Westchester.
