This case study shares the story of how the Zweben Team helped clients overcome a challenging situation to successfully buy a condo on the Upper West Side. Facing the competitive New York real estate market, our team's expertise and personalized approach turned a potentially stressful experience into a triumphant home buying journey. Let’s dive in!

Back to Square One

On the hunt to buy a condo on the Upper West Side, our clients had an unexpected twist. They were in contract on a condo, close to buying their dream home, when suddenly the deal fell through. The condo board exercised their right of first refusal, and suddenly our buyers had no home to move to. This setback started the clock: it was a race against time to find a new place in one of New York's most sought-after areas. (Challenge accepted!)

Our Response: Quick, Personalized Action

Reacting quickly, our New York homebuyer specialists at the Zweben Team swung into action. We know the Upper West Side inside out, and we used this knowledge to handpick 50 potential homes. Our clients were looking for something special, and we were determined to help them find it.

In just two days, we toured the top ten properties together. It was a busy couple of days, but it’s what we do – we’re here to make things happen for our clients.

Another Challenge: A Competitive Market

The right place was among those ten homes, but it wasn’t just our clients who thought so. Several offers were already in, and the competition was fierce. This is where our years of experience and local connections came into play. Collaboratively, we worked on a game plan. Our clients made a strong offer, and thanks to our long-standing relationships in the market, we were able to make their offer stand out.

We’ll spare you the suspense: Our clients’ offer was accepted, and they closed the deal in December 2023! We love to create a win-win scenario. The sellers had a competitive listing, and our buyer clients are starting their new chapter in a home they love. The journey wasn’t always easy, but it’s a great example of what we do best: overcoming obstacles to make our clients' housing goals a reality.
