Our clients purchased their first property in NYC as a second residence. The asking price was $1,195,000. We negotiated one of the best deals in decades for a 2br/2ba apartment on 5th Avenue at a final sale price of $995,000. Our client was prepared to pay $1.16M. The average discount in the area is 5% maximum. In the end, we saved our client $165,000 from where he was willing to pay and negotiated a total 17% discount which is 12% more than our peers.
We negotiated one of the best deals in Hudson Square for a 3/3 and amongst the lowest ppsf in the building's history. Sellers originally paid $3,255,000 while our clients acquired this residence at $2.8M under excellent condition. Ultimately, we saved our client $200,000 (7%) from the last asking price for a residence already priced to sell.

Our clients purchased their first property. The closed price was $1,975,000 with a historical value of multiple comparable sales trading $2.5M - $2.8M depending on year, condition, and floor height - an incredible deal.
"I worked with Michael and The Holt Team twice, first to find and purchase an apartment and then to rent it out. Both of these situations require a different skill set and Michael was very helpful in finding us an apartment that met all our criteria and also helped us negotiate a good deal. Afterward, he and his team helped us with staging the apartment and pricing strategy to rent it out, which he helped us do very quickly and successfully. He's been very helpful overall with any and all questions along the way given it was our first rodeo and he's also introduced us to other folks that have helped with other needs around apartment renovations / legal help etc. Very grateful for all the help and glad we worked with him on both occasions."

"Working with Michael Holt and his team was a dream! As a first-time co-op buyer in NYC, Michael was a great resource to guide me through the unique buying process. Michael specifically took extra care to evaluate comps and changing market trends to ensure we were in the strongest position with my offer. An added bonus is that Michael has amazing relationships and partners to help with other aspects of the buying process which was very useful being a first-time home buyer. I couldn’t be happier about working with Michael to find my perfect home in the village. Highly recommend!"

As a first-time apartment buyer, I never had to worry about something going wrong or being late. They also supported a strategic bidding strategy and their advice proved to be very valuable."

"Michael Holt was invaluable in helping me find an apartment as I gravitated from the UES from the UWS. He was diligent, found a number of apartments to look at that fit my parameters, and did terrific research of comps and other factors when I decided to bid. Wound up with a very successful process which would not have been possible without Michael's excellent work. Highly recommend."
