Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price. - [Estimate these costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/new-development-closing-cost-calculator) - [What sponsor buyers pay](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-development-closing-costs-nyc) - [More new developments](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-developments) ## Bedford-Stuyvesant Explore more real estate and insights about Bedford-Stuyvesant.
