      1. Why I Decided to Write This E-Book

      When I was a young teenager, I use to take the A train into the city from Brooklyn to go the movies. Now there were movie theaters in Brooklyn but they were not like the theaters in Manhattan. I would travel to the city every weekend and everyday during Spring and Winter breaks. At that time, I could sit in the theater and watch the movie over and over again. I made a promise to myself that I would live in Manhattan one day.

      I surely kept that promise to myself and was so lucky that I fell into my very first apartment. My friend Brenda had a one bedroom on 49th Street between 9th and 10th Avenue. It was on the 5th floor of a walk up with no laundry and no rooftop deck. I shared her apartment with her part time on the weekends and was in Brooklyn most of the weekdays. One of Brenda’s friends needed to sublet their one bedroom apartment in the East Village. Brenda decided to take it. I had no idea what I was going to do. She told me that I could keep living in her apartment if I wanted to. It was a golden opportunity and I took it. Unfortunately, when the landlord found out that Brenda moved out and I was living there without a lease, he was not happy. He said if I wanted to continue to live there that I had to sign a lease. I did and the rest is history.

      My love for NYC is the reasons that I became a New York Licensed Real Estate Agent.

      In the several years that I took clients out to help them find their apartments, I realized that all they really wanted was for the search to be over. They just want to get an apartment and be done. Some of my clients took apartments that they really did not even want just to end the search. The urgency, anxiety and even stress in having to find a place and fast due to lack of knowledge in one of the most fabulous cities in the world can take the pure joy out of enjoying the journey.

      One of the most rewarding and exciting moments in my real estate career has been finding a person the best possible place to live in NYC within their budgets. I can’t even express the joy I felt when I was able to find an apartment for a client that would give them a place they could call home.

      Let me tell you a story.

      I remember when Anna emailed me looking for an apartment. She was from Sweden and was about to start classes at New York University in a few months. Her boyfriend, Neal, was coming with her as well. Anna and I corresponded through email and by phone for weeks before her arrival. She wanted to live in the East Village. The day that I met Anna and Neal, I walked with them through the East Village, Chelsea, Gramercy and West Village. I knew that her budget would not work in the West Village but I could not see her living in the East Village. I needed to find a place for Anna that she and Neal would love and keep her close to school. I had previously worked with a real estate agent name Steve who specialized in the East Village / Gramercy area. I asked him what he had available in close proximity to the East Village. He had a reasonable one bedroom on a fifth floor walk up in Gramercy. I had a long talk with Anna. I explained to her that even though NYC prices are lower than they have been in the past years, the East Village was a little bit on the pricey side and above her budget. I suggested she see another place that was located in Gramercy. She was reluctant but agreed. When I showed her and Neal the apartment, they fell in love with it. The special features were that the living room had a loft and that the apartment building was right next to the police station. Neal felt like he did not have to worry so much about Anna when he had to travel out of the country for work. Anna, Neal and I have kept in touch over the years. We are Facebook friends. Now, 4 years later, Anna has graduated from NYU. How proud I am of her.

      My decision to do this e-book is to create a guide to make it
