THE SILVER LINING CHRONICLES - SENIOR CENTER TO OPEN FOR LGBT COMMUNITY

Jill Sackler, Realtor Long Island's South Shore Expert: Real Estate Agent in Merrick, NY

THE SILVER LINING CHRONICLES - SENIOR CENTER TO OPEN FOR LGBT COMMUNITY

Another idea whose time has come.

The first senior center to specifically open for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community will be found in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan next January.

It will serve the seniors of all 5 Boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Bronx with services ranging from "health and wellness to meals and technology."

Reportedly, members of this community often suffer from discrimination and isolation in traditional senior centers and Mayor Bloomberg has stated that it is time to end the "one size fits all" mentality.

While it may still be some time before this concept finds a home in the suburban neighborhoods of Long Island, we can catch a glimpse of a future where biases are brought to light and different lifestyles and needs are accommodated.

Manhattan New York Renters Must Read

Eileen Hsu 許小姐 Manhattan NY Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Manhattan, NY

Manhattan New York is a big city with different housing rules than anywhere else in the world. Finding a Good NYC rental apartment is not a easy task by any means. It is important to be prepared and understand the time frame involved when looking for a suitable apartment. This blog post will help you figure out the time frame before your search so you can plan ahead.

There are TWO types of buildings you may be able to find a good NYC rental apartment.

Option #1 is the condo buildings to find a good rental apartment (example: Gramercy Starck), higher quality of building and service, because it is built for permanent residents. If we were to look for apartments in Gramercy Starck or other condo buildings (renting apartment from a private owner), the process from the time to find the perfect apartment to able to move in may take 30-45 days. The paperwork has to be submitted into the condo board and it takes 30-45 days for them to review and approve the paperwork (application). With that being said, to be safe, if you were aiming to move in by March 1st (3/1), the latest we can submit the paper would be maybe January 15 (1/15) if you have a lease and need move in by end of February.

Option#2 is the rental buildings to find a good NYC rental apartment (the entire building is renters, no owners), this type of building also offers doorman, fitness center and everything like condo building but the neighbors are all renters and it may have a transient environment rather than homes. The positive side of this type of building is that it will approve your paperwork sometimes within 5-10 days, sometimes less and you can then move in right away. With this type of option, if you were to start looking early in January for example, they will most likely require you to move in end of January or sooner because they would not keep the apartment vacant more than one month.

Mandarin-Chinese Speaking Agent with Parents buying for Children Specialty

Eileen Hsu 許小姐 Manhattan NY Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Manhattan, NY

Here in Manhattan New York, we work with both sellers and buyers depending on their motivation. We have different strategies and plans for sellers and for buyers to maximize their profit and finding the best home for them in this unique market place.

One of our special niche is working with parents buying for children, as Chinese-Mandarin speaking Real Estate agent, we are seeing many Chinese parents coming to Manhattan New York buying condos for their son or daughter that is either current in New York city or planning on coming to New York city in the near future.

As Chinese-Mandarin Speaking Real Estate agent here in NYC, when we work with buyers from out of town, we educate them about the market place and set the right expectation before we go out and see properties. Here are some some unique difference of Manhattan New York Real Estate that is different than other parts of U.S. and other parts of the world.


-
Housing inventory, we have condo, coops, some condops. For Chinese-Mandarin speaking buyers, it is hard to grasp the concept of cooperative. Each coop building has very different rules in terms of approving the buyers, if the parents would like to use the property as eventual rental investment properties, it may be more ideal to look at condos over coops.


-
All Cash with No financing offers, many of Manhattan New York buyers are All Cash buyers whether they are from New York, another state, another part of the world, it is very common to be competing with another buyer that is also all cash. All cash offer is more desirable than mortgage offers, but presenting an offer at fair market price and all cash will ensure you secure the property. We have completed all cash transactions at all range of price range from $500,000-$10,000,000 or more.


-
45 Days is the quickest timeframe to close if it is a standard re-sale condo if all parties prepare the documents in a timely fashion (other than New construction condo that is ready to be move in). This is a market place that there are condo board in place, there will be required application from the purchaser, and it takes usually 30 days or so for the board to approve it. So, if there is a specific timeframe or rental lease for the current son or daughter, it is important to plan early. If financing, the timeframe is conservatively 90 days – 120 days or more.


-
No offer is binding until both buyers and sellers SIGN and FULLY EXECUTE the contract, 10% deposit is clear. Here in Manhattan New York, the SELLER’S ATTORNEY draft the contract to BUYER’S ATTORNEY, buyer’s attorney complete his/her review, then BUYER signs the contract with deposit, then return to SELLER’S ATTORNEY and seller will counter sign. This takes 7-10 days if all parties are available and responsive. Anytime between there, another (#2)buyer can appear and present a higher/better offer, first buyer’s offer can be overbid and there is NO DEAL.
