Selling Real Estate in New York City

Selling real estate in Manhattan or Brooklyn requires far more than putting a property online. Pricing, preparation, presentation, buyer psychology, building dynamics, timing, marketing strategy, and negotiation all materially influence your outcome.

In New York City, details matter.

At The Miller Markowicz Team, Steven Markowicz and Andreea Miller represent sellers throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn with a highly strategic, hands-on approach grounded in neighborhood expertise, building-level knowledge, elevated marketing, and disciplined execution.

Whether you are selling a luxury condo, co-op, townhouse, new development residence, investment property, or family home, our objective is simple: position your property intelligently, market it powerfully, negotiate strategically, and maximize your result.

Why Sellers Choose Us

  • Manhattan & Brooklyn neighborhood expertise
  • Sophisticated pricing & positioning strategy
  • Deep condo, co-op, townhouse & building-level knowledge
  • Elevated preparation, staging & presentation guidance
  • Luxury marketing & targeted digital exposure
  • Corcoran network leverage & proactive broker outreach

Every property deserves an individualized strategy — not a one-size-fits-all marketing plan.

Step by Step

Our Selling Process

01

Strategic Pricing & Market Positioning

Pricing is not guesswork. It is strategy. We develop pricing recommendations informed by:

  • Recent comparable sales
  • Active competition & contract activity
  • Building-specific performance
  • Neighborhood trends & buyer demand
  • Inventory levels & market timing
  • Property strengths, weaknesses, and differentiation opportunities

We also focus heavily on positioning — understanding how your property should be perceived relative to competing inventory. The goal is not simply to "price correctly." The goal is to create the strongest possible market narrative and negotiating position.

02

Preparation, Positioning & Property Enhancement

Exceptional sales results often begin before a listing officially launches. We evaluate your property through the lens of buyer psychology, competitive positioning, neighborhood expectations, and current market dynamics. Our preparation strategy may include:

  • Comprehensive pre-market walkthrough & opportunity analysis
  • Furniture layout, styling & staging consultation
  • Paint, lighting & cosmetic improvement recommendations
  • Strategic refreshes or targeted value-enhancing updates
  • Decluttering, editing & presentation guidance
  • Outdoor space, terrace & curb appeal optimization
  • Launch timing & market sequencing strategy

For qualifying listings, we may leverage Corcoran's RealVitalize® program — providing upfront funding for approved home improvements, staging, or cosmetic work without immediate out-of-pocket expense. Preparation is not about spending more. It is about investing intelligently where presentation can materially improve buyer response, leverage, and final pricing.

03

Elevated Marketing, Exposure & Buyer Targeting

We believe luxury marketing should be strategic, layered, and highly intentional. Our approach combines editorial-quality presentation, targeted digital exposure, brokerage relationships, and proactive outreach designed to maximize qualified demand. Our marketing strategy may include:

  • High-end photography, cinematic video & floor plans
  • Compelling listing copy & strategic property storytelling
  • Hyper-targeted digital advertising campaigns
  • Social media marketing tailored to likely buyer profiles
  • Corcoran.com exposure & brokerage-wide distribution
  • Curated broker outreach & relationship-driven marketing
  • Private previews, broker launches & invitation-only events
  • Strategic open house execution
  • Targeted email campaigns to brokers, buyers, and curated networks

We also think deeply about where your buyer is most likely to come from — whether that is a Manhattan-to-Brooklyn relocation, a family buyer, a pied-à-terre purchaser, an investor, or an international audience. Our focus is not simply generating clicks. It is creating meaningful exposure that reaches the right audience and produces strong offers.

04

Offer Strategy & Negotiation

Receiving an offer is only the beginning. We help sellers analyze the full picture — not simply the headline number. Our evaluation considers:

  • Purchase price
  • Financing strength & buyer qualifications
  • Deal structure & contingencies
  • Closing timeline
  • Board or building considerations
  • Overall certainty of execution

The highest offer is not always the strongest offer. In Manhattan and Brooklyn real estate, understanding risk, leverage, timing, and buyer strength matters enormously. Our negotiation style is strategic, thoughtful, and results-driven — advocating aggressively for our clients while maintaining the deal discipline necessary to keep transactions on track.

05

Contract Through Closing

Once a deal is reached, our work continues. We remain deeply involved throughout the process, coordinating with all parties to help ensure a smooth path to closing. We guide sellers through:

  • Contract milestones & transaction coordination
  • Buyer due diligence
  • Condo & co-op requirements
  • Access, appraisal & management coordination
  • Building communication & logistics
  • Final walkthrough preparation
  • Closing planning & execution

Our clients receive proactive communication, strategic guidance, and hands-on support throughout the transaction. Our goal is to make a complex process feel organized, responsive, and calm.

Marketing in Action

Every listing gets a film, not a slideshow

Our staged walkthrough of 16 East 96th Street, a Carnegie Hill prewar seven that closed at $7,250,000. Editorial photography, cinematic video, and floor plans are standard on our listings, because buyers decide whether to visit long before they visit.

Long-Term Partnership

Beyond The Sale

Our relationship does not end at closing. Many of our clients return to us for future purchases, investments, portfolio strategy, market guidance, neighborhood expertise, and referrals.

At The Miller Markowicz Team, we believe real estate advisory should extend well beyond a single transaction. We view our role as long-term trusted advisors — helping clients navigate not only a sale, but broader real estate decisions over time.

Selling in NYC — FAQs

How do you determine my home's value?+

We prepare a comparative market analysis using recent comparable sales in your building and neighborhood, current competing inventory, and absorption rate — then factor in your unit's specific condition, views, and layout. Request a free valuation and we'll give you a defensible price range, not a guess.

What does it cost to sell an apartment in NYC?+

NYC sellers typically pay brokerage commission, NYC and NY State transfer taxes (roughly 1.4–2.075% combined depending on price), attorney fees, and — for some co-ops — a flip tax. We provide a clear net-proceeds estimate before you list.

How long will it take to sell?+

It varies by price point, building, and season. Correct pricing in the first two weeks — when buyer traffic peaks — is the single biggest driver of a fast, strong sale.

Should I sell or rent my apartment?+

It depends on your equity, carrying costs, timeline, and the current market for your unit. We'll walk you through the numbers both ways so you can make an informed decision.
