Many buyers live in fantasyland

When BrickUnderground.com asked me to come up with information that buyers shouldn’t tell their brokers, I didn’t have a hard time drafting a long list.

Site founder Teri Karush Rogers and I pared the list down to eight.  Of course, as a broker, I would much prefer to know what’s on my buyers’ minds.  That’s great from my point of view, maybe not so wonderful from theirs in that I may well choose not to to work with them to find a condo or co-op in Manhattan.

That said, here’s No. 7 on the list – along with what I would interpret from what is said:

“We are committed to finding a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a renovated eat-in kitchen and a terrace on a high floor with unobstructed views in a building near Fairway for under $700,000.”

Translation: “Don’t confuse us with the facts.  We know these things: Hannibal Lechter was a vegetarian, Joan Rivers was born with that nose, and Andrew Cuomo won’t run for governor.”
