Low Fee Apartments

You’ve searched tirelessly for a new home. You’ve jumped through the seemingly endless financial, legal, and bureaucratic hoops. But at last, you’ve found the apartment of your dreams! You’ve made an offer or have been approved to rent. All you have to do is sign on the dotted line, and you can move in to start making your new space a home.

But then all at once they hit you: fees. As you prepare to close your deal, you discover that you are not just paying for a place to live. You are paying a number of additional charges that make your real estate experience even more daunting than it already was.

There is the cost of legal representation. There is the cost of title insurance. There is the cost of the move-in deposit. And then there is the brokerage fee. The brokerage fee is essentially the finder’s fee levied by your real estate agent for “brokering” the deal – for bringing together the seller and the buyer, or the tenant and the landlord.

If you are renting, you may find yourself paying your broker 15% of the annual rent for your apartment. Sellers pay brokers as well, but that cost may also ultimately be passed on to the buyer. Finding a new home can be difficult enough. And with the already high financial requirements to own or rent a home in New York City, the last thing you need is to be hit with unforeseen, exorbitant costs.
