Looking to sell your Manhattan home but don't want to pay a full seller's broker commission? Or looking to buy and want to look more attractive to the seller? Want to do this discreetly so everyone doesn't know you’re looking to move? 

Here’s your chance to get one of the best names in the business working for you. Louise Phillips Forbes— WSMS mom and Executive Vice President of Halstead Property—and her team will provide their professional real estate marketing and brokerage services free of charge to sell one Manhattan property prior to March 31, 2010 or help you to buy a new home prior to March 31, 2010.  

On the selling side, this means that the selling commission, net of expenses incurred by Halstead Property, will be waived. The selling commission is typically 3% of the sale price.  This includes expenses for marketing and related items incurred by Halstead Property that typically amount to 1% of the sale price. Therefore 2% of the sale price will be waived by Phillips Forbes and her team.  As an example, a $1,000,000 selling price would have a benefit of approximately $20,000, and a $2,000,000 selling price would have a benefit of approximately $40,000.      

If you are buying a home (and not selling), then not only will Phillips Forbes take you on a fabulous tour of New York real estate that is just right for you, but she will also waive her 2% buyer’s broker commission, making you ever so attractive to a seller!
