Thank You for Helping Us Help These Kids!

With each deal, we will sponsor a child at the New Life 4 Kids home in Haiti. I want to personally thank all of our wonderful clients for helping us help these children! There is so much need around the planet, including here in NYC (we are also supporting The Henry Street Settlement). And it was not easy deciding where to assist, Cheryl (my wife) met a woman associated with this home and the stars just aligned. This is our first, meet Lovena;




Lovena Alerte My Story:

My name is Lovena and I am so happy to be here at New Life Children’s Home. I came here in 2008 when I was just 3 years old. I came from the Pestel area where my family struggled to find food, clean water, and to provide the medical care that I needed. When I got here to New Life I was unable to talk, walk or even stand. My legs were so floppy! With several years of good food, loving care and the right medicine, I now can walk! In fact, one of my favorite things to do is to sweep the yard. It makes me feel good that I can help and be in such a happy and safe place. It would be so great to one day be a nurse and help others.

Fearing even higher rates?

We Have Finally Settled on Two Charities to Support

As you can imagine this was no easy task. It seems for all the joy and abundance in the world, there is an equal amount of suffering. I'll keep it short; I stayed local with The Henry Street Settlement, they have been assisting New Yorkers since 1893 and are a highly rated charity. My wife met a woman at one of my daughters activities who had a connection to Haiti. The first hand stories were heart breaking! After doing our own research, which demonstrated the worthiness of the angels running this home for children, we jumped on board: New Life 4 Kids.

And again, thank you for all the kind referrals and support!

Happy Holidays!!

How do we give back Millions???

First we have to be successful and we do that by providing outstanding service in a 100% transparent atmosphere. This is what buyers want, not just a rebate, they want the entire package. They expect it considering the amount of money they are transacting.

We are lean, that is how we do it! We are like the 'millionaire next door', we work sensibly.  No excessive waste on a pricey, flashy office space with bottled water and lattes at the ask. No mass marketing campaigns or other expensive advertising. No back office waste or other frivolous expenditures. I learned to live this way early in life from my Grandfather, Victor DeMave; one of the original "millionaires next door".

I also love what I do and love that our clients get it. There is a lot more to what we offer, so please feel free to call me for more information. I'll give away one more part of our platform; we are never selling you. We provide you with information that will assist you in making a sound decision. We consider our relationship with our clients a working, evolving partnership.

Read what other are saying about us.

Best,

This is our Best Advertising Secret!

Dear Keith, Lance, Christian and Norman,

Please accept my deepest thanks for everything you all did to make my recent purchase of a Manhattan co-op possible. It was a pleasure to work with you all from start to finish!

To any readers, let me add my testimonial to the many that helped me decide to contact this group:

From the start Keith and his team were helpful and informative, very knowledgeable about buildings, values, and the whole process.  Their strategy in letting people find what interests them on StreetEasy (why do this any other way in 2016?) and then taking it from there is brilliant. Let me just say that they really do provide all the services they advertise!

Lance made all the appointments to see properties so efficiently, and so convenient for me, then showed up on time or early every single time. When I decided on an apartment, Keith was so helpful on the offering process. We got a very good price accepted!

Then while in contract, Lance was there to facilitate my getting contractors/consultants into the apartment before closing, a tremendous head start in the renovating process.  Christian took care of so much background work. Never a mistake or a problem. Perhaps most important, they were all masters of getting the Co-op Board package together, and believe me there is nothing more important to you than their expertise on this.

And then, before and at closing, Norman was incredibly helpful and fully prepared. Our closing was painless, and then Norman handed me a check for 1.5%, as in, a nice fat bonus covering so much more than my moving costs.

The bottom line is that if you are looking to buy in NYC, look no further than this Burkhardt Group, you will be happy you have them all working on your behalf.

Thanks all!

Dr. Victor M.
