Citi Habitats agents Sarah Kruse and Adam Ben-Hananiaturned walk-in clients into repeat customers.
“Our clients just strolled into the office on a Saturday and said they were in the market for a property priced around $1.5 million.” said Ben-Hanania. “The property is purely an investment for now, but it soon will be where their 16 year-old daughter will reside once she graduates college.”
The fashion industry buyers purchased a $1,320,000 condo located at 166 West 18th Street, #6B.
“The couple was really drawn to the details and top-of-the-line finishes in the home,” explains Kruse. “The condo features a built-in media center with shelving, huge pillars in the living room and floor to ceiling windows. They also really appreciated the central location and the boutique building and its amenities.”
The asking price for 166 West 18th Street was $1,395,000 and the maintenance charges total $782 per month. The home was on the market for 54 weeks, and Dimitrios Skretas of Douglas Elliman represented the seller.
But they weren’t done yet. “They initially wanted to just buy this property, but we went out looking one more day, and they ended up buying another in Chelsea on 23rd St for $1.54 million, ” said Kruse. “One walk-in, turned into our first two sales.”
