Beautiful Day in NYC this weekend

Sat, 12 May 2012 06:36:40 -0700

Beautiful Day in NYC this weekend.

Today we will have almost 80 degree weather.

This is a photo taken yesterday afternoon in the Flatiron district in Manhattan NY.

The neighborhood is in relative proximity to many popular neighborhoods such as Union Square, Greenwich Village and Gramercy Park.There is a variety of restaurant choices and shopping within its immediate vicinity. The area is mainly made up of low rise buildings but has a number of prominent high rise office and residential towers. Residential real estate choices are plentiful as there are many new condominium properties and both co-op and rental buildings to choose from.

Easy transportation and multiple bus and subway lines make this a popular area. Being so close to many cafes, new and established restaurants, and nightlife choices make this a desirable downtown neighborhood. The Union Square Park on its southern border is a highlight of the neighborhood. The Union Square Farmer’s Market is one of the largest and most popular farmer markets in all of New York City.

Contact us (917)837-8869 for your specific Manhattan Condo in Flatiron or other vibrant Manhattan neighborhoods.

曼哈頓交易問與答:怎麼在紐約房地產界出價?

紐約曼哈頓在地產界是個奇特的市場，他是個世界金融中心，也是時尚的趨導者，這些眾多優勢吸引了各式各樣買家從世界各地擁入這地方。由於國外買家不清楚紐約特有的交易規則，經常會誤解紐約的交易程序。國外買家經常會用他們本地的交易方式套在曼哈頓的交易方式，忽略到紐約的交易方式並不是如他們所想像。介由我們—我們會跟您詳細的解釋紐約房地產交易過程，迎導您如何觀察紐約房地產市場、怎麼進/出場、怎麼在適當(優勢)時間出價、及怎麼讓您入戶您想要的公寓。讓您馬上瞭解紐約這一塊獨特的房地產世界。

不像其他國家或美國別州，在紐約，當買方介由我們(房仲業者)出價給賣方時，買方及我們不需要簽任何合同或同意書。

在紐約，合同(契約)並不是由房仲業者來寫。交屋日期也不是地契公司來挑選。紐約曼哈頓是一個房市仲裁區，所有房地產有關的業務都必須經由有紐約曼哈頓房地產認證許可的律師處理。買方及賣方各自需要一位有認證許可的律師代表他們處理這些業務。我們在業界有許多交易經驗及人脈，可以介紹及提供最適合您購屋需求的律師給您。

資金證明：若是全現金交易，必須提供銀行存款或證券證明，證明有足夠的資金交易。若有貸款條約–須提供任何一家美國銀行的貸款許可文件。

任何保障條約：在紐約曼哈頓，若要先脫售自有的地產來完成這交易–經常出現的條約為1. 確保銀行貸款批准 2. 確保銀行轉匯完成交易 3. 其他交易的保障. 曼哈頓房地產業界平時並沒有驗屋期這程序，因大部份的商品都是公寓結構，或合作公寓，沒有像獨棟樓房那類的驗屋期。也因此大部份時候契約合同上並不會有像其他州有的驗屋條約這項，曼哈頓公寓基本交易方式就是照原樣買。

交屋日期：這會根據您買的是新建計畫還是二手房而定。若是新房而賣家是建商，房屋也已完善，交期可以在一兩個星期內完成；若計畫還在建設中，這交期也相對的跟建設完善後而定。若賣家是轉賣，而且準備好要搬遷，跟全現金交易— 交期會在公寓委員會四十五天內批准後而定。(若是要貸款購屋—交期會在公寓委員會60 ~ 90天內批准後而定。

個人財力資料：有時因多人搶標一個提案，賣方或合作公寓委員會會要求買家的財力資料。財力資料包括：薪資報稅單，財產/土地證明，銀行存款，證券證明及其他相關資料。若是要購買合作公寓(cooperative)全面申報是個必要程序。

當賣家口頭上接受買家的出價，我們(仲介)會馬上提供資料給有認證許可的律師提寫契約合同。我們傑出的律師團隊會依據您的需求提供您最好的服務及保障，確保您的置屋經驗是完美的。

若您或您有認識的人想在曼哈頓置產，請您來電給我們(646)644-2929。以我們豐富的交易經驗提供您最完美最完善的服務。我們也提供客製化置產投資諮詢，依您的需求為您找到最好的置產投資計畫。

West Village NY Penthouses

Sun, 06 May 2012 10:25:42 -0700

West Village NY Penthouses

Manhattan West village is an energetic Downtown NYC neighborhood that appeared in many movies with its sidewalk cafes, boutique luxury stores, restaurants and bistro. On the NYC map, the neighborhood of West Village is between Sixth Avenue to the Hudson River and North at 14th Street to Houston Street.

Many buyers we worked with look for special Penthouse in the West village because they love the Downtown dynamic energy. To find a penthouse in the West Village, there are different options. On the tree line streets, mostly are pre-war brownstone buildings that are usually only three stories and the top floor is the penthouse some with outdoor roof access. Many of the pre-war brownstones have elevator in the building, many are walk up buildings. If you would like to live in a brownstone building in the West Village, the penthouse inventory is limited with high demand.

With the high demand in West Village living, West village now host many high end New Construction condo buildings, this is a great news for West Village penthouse buyers.

Among these new luxury condominiums in West village, there are 122 Greenwich Street One Jackson Square, a LEED certified modern glass building that many of the penthouse units offer outdoor space with floor to ceiling windows. Another well know condo is 400 West 12th Street, the Superior Ink. It is most desirable condo in the recent years because of its unique-ness and some of the Hudson River front penthouse unit exposure. These two special condos are some of the most well known newer construction building in the West village location with one of the kind penthouses.

If you are looking for a West Village Penthouse in Manhattan New York. Call us at (917)837-8869 and we can discuss what is available within your criteria. Many of the Penthouse condos are not out on the open market so it is important for you to contact us and we can see if we have the right match for you.

My favorite Margarita recipe for Cinco de Mayo

Sat, 05 May 2012 10:29:32 -0700

My favorite Margarita recipe

For those of who knows me personally knows I always enjoy a good drink when I can and not working. Today is cinco de mayo and surely we will have a margarita for this glorious holiday. Here is one of my favorite recipe from one of my favorite craft cocktail website.

Mama Beth’s Margarita

1 1/2 ounces tequila (I love a reposado)

1 ounce Cointreau (Triple Sec works just fine – this is no time to be a liquor snob)

1/2 ounce freshly-squeezed lemon juice (lime is swell too)

slices of lemon or lime

nice sized sprig of rosemary or thyme

Muddle the fresh herb with the tequila, Cointreau and lemon juice in a mixing glass. Pour into a glass filled with some ice. Add the rosemary or thyme too, and the lemon or lime slices. Submerge the herb and the citrus for more flavor and eye appeal.

Tallest New York city building - One World Trade Center

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:43:57 -0700

One World Trade Center, also know as Freedom Tower is currently under construction in Financial District of Lower Manhattan, today, it technically became New York City's tallest building. Today, the workers erected steel columns on the 100th floor, 1,271 feet above the street, to make it stand 21 feet higher than the Empire State Building's observation deck.

Downtown Manhattan, Financial District has becoming a very residential neighborhood other than having commercial office spaces. The completion of the World Trade Center will bring in much more retail space, large transit hub, and many more international residents into the neighborhood and area. We believe this is a great neighborhood to invest and keep an eye on for so many reasons.

If you or someone would like to invest in Manhattan New York today, we encourage to give us a call today at (917) 837-8869 or email at EHSU@elliman.com.
