My colleague who is selling his apartment on the UES through your Agent Assisted FSBO program came up with this Q&A fact sheet about his apartment. Do you think this is a good format to hand out at open houses and during showings to buyers and their agents?
What makes the apartment great?
• Big bright apartment with 3 open exposures
• Living space is along 74th street, a quiet side street, while the bedrooms are in the back opening up to a very quiet courtyard.
• Kids can sleep in their bedrooms and not be disturbed by guests, or TV in the living room.
• Most closets have been updated with California Closet designs
• Enlarged kitchen (wall was moved out about a foot from original design) with top-of-the-line appliances and window
• Reasonable maintenance, at $2227
• Friendly neighbors, family friendly, pet friendly building
• Fantastic building staff, with 24-hour doorman, porters (who can do some handiwork) and a live-in super.
