How We Work

How We Work — The Homebuying Journey.

Purchasing a home is a major life milestone and can be a daunting experience, especially for first-time buyers. The real estate market in New York City is known for its competitive atmosphere and fast-paced environment, but with the right preparation and guidance from our team of advisors and staff, it can be a smooth and successful journey.

  1. Phase 01

    Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

    Before you start your home search, it's important to have a clear understanding of your financial situation, including your credit score and the amount you can afford to spend on a home. This will help you narrow down your search. We have incredible mortgage brokers that can help you determine the right type of mortgage for your budget.

  2. Phase 02

    Be Flexible

    The real estate market in New York City can be highly competitive, so be prepared to act quickly when you find a home you love. It's also important to be flexible about your must-haves and keep an open mind, as you may have to compromise on certain things in order to find the right home for you.

  3. Phase 03

    Schedule a Consultation

    A skilled and experienced real estate agent can make all the difference in the homebuying process. They can help you navigate the market, find the right properties, and negotiate on your behalf.

  4. Phase 04

    Do Your Research

    Before making an offer, be sure to research the property, the neighborhood, and review the process with your agent. They'll have insight into major construction projects nearby, competing offers, pricing history, and inside knowledge about the building. Download our Buyer's Guide to gain more insight into the process.

  5. Phase 05

    Close the Deal

    Once all the details have been finalized, it is time to close the deal and become the proud owner of your new home.

Why This Team

Why Buy With Coast.

In an inventory-constrained market, access to listings is everything. Working with a Compass agent from the #1 brokerage in the U.S. opens the doors to homes that are not available to the public yet or may never hit the market.

01

Market Analysis

Insight into market trends, buyer sentiment, rental rates, and major construction projects nearby that can affect value.

02

Property Search

We'll use Collections and email to make sure you are regularly updated on any new properties that match your criteria.

03

Private Exclusives Access

Working with a Compass agent grants you access to privately listed inventory before the rest of the competition — and helps you avoid bidding wars with other buyers.

04

Negotiations

Real estate negotiations can be challenging, but with the help of an advisor from COAST, you can negotiate the best deal.

05

Financing

Determine if you'll be paying cash or financing. If financing, you'll need to obtain a pre-approval letter — we would be happy to connect you with financing partners or mortgage lenders.

06

Post-Sale Services

From engineers' reports to property management, our support continues after closing. We offer comprehensive property management services to take the burden off your shoulders.

The Buyer's Guide

Buying in New York,Start to Finish.

Everything a first-time or seasoned buyer needs to navigate a Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Westchester purchase with confidence — from your first pre-approval to the day you get the keys.

01

Know Your Numbers

Start with a pre-approval so you know your true budget and can move quickly. Beyond the purchase price, plan for closing costs — typically 2–5% for buyers in New York (attorney, mortgage recording tax, title insurance, the mansion tax on purchases above $1M, and building fees). We connect you with lenders and model the all-in monthly cost before you fall in love with a home.

02

Co-op vs. Condo vs. Townhouse

New York is unusual: most apartments are co-ops, which require board approval, scrutinize your finances, and often limit subletting — but usually cost less per square foot. Condos are more flexible and investor-friendly at a premium. Townhouses give you the whole building. We help you weigh board requirements, flip taxes, and financing rules for each.

03

Build the Search

We set up a Compass Collection so new matches reach you the moment they list — including Private Exclusives that never hit the public market. Together we separate your must-haves from your nice-to-haves and target the right neighborhoods, so you're seeing the right homes rather than every home.

04

Make a Winning Offer

In a competitive market a clean, well-supported offer often beats a slightly higher messy one. We back your number with comparable sales, advise on escalation clauses and contingencies, and package your financials so sellers and co-op boards take you seriously.

05

Contract to Close

In New York, attorneys handle the contract — we coordinate yours through due diligence, the board package for co-ops, the appraisal, and financing. Expect roughly 60–90 days from accepted offer to closing for a financed co-op, faster for an all-cash condo. We manage the timeline so nothing slips.

06

The Keys — and After

We're at your closing and beyond: refinancing when rates move, property management if you're investing, and a standing read on your home's value. Your relationship with Coast doesn't end at the closing table.

The Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions.

01Do I need to get pre-approved before I start looking?
Before you start your home search, it's important to have a clear understanding of your financial situation, including your credit score and the amount you can afford to spend on a home. This will help you narrow down your search. We have incredible mortgage brokers that can help you determine the right type of mortgage for your budget.
02How competitive is the New York market?
The real estate market in New York City can be highly competitive, so be prepared to act quickly when you find a home you love. It's also important to be flexible about your must-haves and keep an open mind, as you may have to compromise on certain things in order to find the right home for you.
03What should I research before making an offer?
Research the property, the neighborhood, and review the process with your agent. They'll have insight into major construction projects nearby, competing offers, pricing history, and inside knowledge about the building.
04Should I get an engineer's report or home inspection?
A home inspection is a crucial step in the investment process. It can help identify any potential issues with the property, so you can make an informed decision before closing the deal.
05Can you help with financing?
Determine if you'll be paying cash or financing to purchase the asset. If paying cash, you'll need to provide proof of funds via holding statement or fund commitment letter. If financing, you'll need to obtain a pre-approval letter. We would be happy to connect you with financing partners or mortgage lenders.
06What is a Private Exclusive, and how does it help buyers?
Private Exclusives are off-market listings only visible to Compass agents and their qualified buyers. Working with a Compass agent grants you access to privately listed inventory before the rest of the competition. If the home you buy is publicly marketed, the photos can be found on the internet for years to come — buying a Private Exclusive preserves your discretion.
