NYC Basics

Co-op vs Condo

Understanding the key differences in NYC property ownership.

🏢 Co-op

  • You own shares in a corporation, not the unit itself
  • Lower purchase prices on average
  • Board approval required for purchase
  • Stricter subletting and renovation rules
  • Monthly maintenance includes property taxes

🏠 Condo

  • You own the actual unit (real property)
  • Higher purchase prices, more flexibility
  • No board approval for most purchases
  • More freedom to sublet and renovate
  • Common charges + separate property taxes

Client Stories

What Buyers Say

"Milton found us an amazing pre-war co-op in Washington Heights that wasn't even on the market yet. His knowledge of the board process was invaluable."

Tim W.

First-Time Buyer, Washington Heights

"As an investor, I needed someone who understands numbers. Milton analyzed 15 properties before we found the perfect investment condo in Jackson Heights."

Maria R.

Real Estate Investor, Jackson Heights

"We were relocating from California and Milton made apartment hunting remotely seamless. Virtual tours, video calls, and he closed the deal while we were still on the West Coast."
