					  <description><![CDATA[In the course of representing and negotiating for the interests of their clients, real estate brokers are often privy to sensitive or confidential information. Whether buying or selling, residential or commercial, super-luxe or no-frills space, it&#146;s absolutely crucial that brokers put the interests of their clients first&#150;not only for purely ethical reasons, but to avoid career-killing legal imbroglios like the one that recently ended with a Staten Island broker being stripped of her license. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[More than 100 board members, residents, and guests recently gathered to hear a workshop seminar on how boards can avoid discriminatory practices when approving applications from prospective purchasers. The seminar panels were held in conjunction with The Cooperator&#146;s 15th Annual Co-op and Condo Expo February 25 at the New York Hilton. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[New Yorkers looking for a little more living space have a lot of options these days. Construction on new co-op and condo buildings&#150;as well as conversions&#150;are moving along at a steady pace, while the recent economic downturn has made New York City real estate something more closely resembling a buyer&#146;s market than has been seen in some time. Prices are dropping while availability is increasing. Couple that with low interest rates, and developers are seeing a steady stream of new customers for their latest co-op and condo offerings. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[After an era of giddy figures&#150;with the average price of an apartment in Manhattan closing in on $1 million&#150;New York City&#146;s residential real estate market has started to lose its sense of certainty. Any broker asked about the state of affairs in mid-2001 would&#146;ve responded things are just fine, thanks. None denied the boom was over, but they would invariably maintain the almost fail-safe optimism that characterized Manhattan&#146;s residential market following the astonishing trends of 1999 and 2000. However, while evidence of an outright panic following the World Trade Center attacks didn&#146;t materialize at the time, recent reports confirm that the real estate market did indeed take a hit in the fourth quarter of 2001.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[For all the permanence that its centuries-old history suggests, the midtown neighborhood of Murray Hill and Kip&#146;s Bay is a neighborhood with a little bit of everything. A gently evolving mix of turn-of-the-century brownstones rubs shoulders with modern high-rises. Restaurants and storefronts stand cheek-to-jowl with small office spaces. Parents pushing strollers walk the streets alongside commuters and tourists. According to Suzanne Stern of Flat Iron Real Estate, &quot;The area is considered neat and nifty in the sense that it&#146;s well kept with all the amenities of New York and it&#146;s close to everything.&quot; ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Suppose you want to give new life to your dingy old kitchen, enlarge your living room or convert a bedroom loft into a cozy, office study. You have to choose a professional who can best turn that dream into reality, and choosing the right professional who can act as both a designer and advisor over the course of the project is certainly not an easy task. Whether you are looking to make a design statement or just a modest reorganization, you may need to hire an architect or other design professional to achieve your desired goal. It&#146;s crucial that your chosen professional be sympathetic to your personality, aesthetic tastes, and budget constraints.]]></description>
