WHFirm Client’s Home Purchase Profiled in NY Times
Buying a home can be an immensely personal and transformative experience, and we are always glad to hear when our work has helped our clients reach new milestones in their personal or professional lives. When we helped Justine Chan purchase a condo in the Bronx in 2019, we couldn’t have guessed that the transaction would lead not only to a new career in real estate, but to a recent profile in the New York Times chronicling her story. Congratulations Justine!
In addition to her work as a realtor with Level Group, Justine is also the founder of Live With Plum, a resource guide for women purchasing real estate in the US. We hope that you check out both her company and the recent NY Times article in the links above.
From the New York Times: Buying a Home During a Pandemic
Even with the current instability in New York, we are glad to report that our firm is still receiving inquiries from new purchasers and sellers, and doing our very best to accommodate those reaching out.
In the face of shutdowns, quarantines, and other official measures intended to combat the spread of Coronavirus, it is difficult to predict what the next few days may bring. For those currently involved in a real Estate Purchase or sale, or those looking to initiate one, this brings a lot of uncertainty into the equation. For a little background, please see this article recently published in the New York Times.
The first and most important step for those currently buying or selling real estate is to discuss your plans with your attorney or another real estate professional. As the situation develops, we will advise of any alterations to our own hours and availability.

From CNN – Intro to the Mansion Tax for Real Estate Purchasers and Sellers
New York’s Mansion Tax recently made the national news on CNN, so we wanted to briefly share the article here for anyone who has general questions about how the mansion tax works, which states levy one, and why.
It is important to be aware that, in New York City especially, the name “Mansion Tax” can be misleading, since the median home price locally is higher than the $1 million benchmark at which the tax is levied – so a property doesn’t exactly need gold-plated bathtubs in order to qualify.
If you would like more info about the Mansion Tax in New York, or would like to know if your transaction qualifies, you can read more about it on our blog here.
