Frequently asked questions
Buying in New York — FAQ
Can foreign nationals buy property in New York?
Yes. There is no citizenship or residency requirement to buy real estate in New York. Differences show up in financing (foreign-national and ITIN loan programs), tax planning, and fund-transfer compliance — our bilingual advisors walk you through each step.
Who pays the broker commission in New York?
In most NYC residential sales the seller pays their brokerage, which may share the commission with the buyer's agent; the exact split is set in writing per transaction. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer-agent agreements are more transparent — we explain every fee before you sign.
How long does buying a home in NYC take?
From accepted offer to closing: roughly 30–60 days for cash and 60–90 days with financing. Co-ops usually take longer than condos because of board approval.
What's the difference between a condo and a co-op?
A condo is real property — flexible to rent out and friendly to foreign buyers, at a higher price per square foot. A co-op is shares in a corporation — cheaper, but with strict board approval, higher down-payment expectations, and subletting limits.
Can I get a mortgage without U.S. credit history?
Often yes. Several lenders offer new-immigrant, foreign-national, and ITIN programs, typically requiring 30–40% down with income or asset documentation. We can connect you with Mandarin-speaking loan officers.
