How This Works

Buying Before It Exists

Buying a residence in a building that is not finished is a different transaction from buying a house. Different contract, different timeline, different risks. Here is where we sit in it.

01

Before the Public Sees It

Douglas Elliman is often marketing a building before it is announced. That is when the best positions in the stack are still available and pricing has not moved yet. Our job at this stage is to tell you what is coming and whether it is worth waiting for.

02

Choosing the Residence

On a floor plan every unit looks reasonable. The difference between two units on the same floor can be the view line, the afternoon sun, or how close you are to the elevator core. We go through the stack with you before you commit to a position.

03

The Contract and the Deposits

Developer contracts are written by the developer and they are not the standard forms you may have signed before. Deposits are staged and they are tied to construction milestones rather than to a closing date. We walk you through what you are committing to and when the money moves. For the legal review you want your own attorney, and we will tell you that rather than talk you out of it.

04

The Years in Between

Between contract and delivery there is a long quiet stretch where most buyers hear nothing. We stay in it, track the construction schedule, and tell you when something changes.

05

Walkthrough and Closing

We walk your new residence with you before closing and handle the coordination behind the scenes, so the last step feels as smooth as the first. All that's left is picking up your keys.

Why It Matters Who You Call

Most agents can show you a new development. Very few are inside the brokerage that is selling it. That difference is not a talking point, it changes what we can put in your hands.

Inside the Sales Galleries

We go to these buildings, walk the models, and talk to the sales teams on camera. What you get is the tour, not the brochure.
