Seemed to love it. They are a couple with 5 year old. Lives nearby and parents live nearby as well. Did not seem to be bothered by the walkup/SF: eventually decided the walkup would be an impediment to the resale.
Young couple with a cat. They currently live in NJ but want to move back. Said that the walkup wasn’t that bad. The main item they wanted to check was the ceiling height and it’s good for them. Have already seen some units but started their search not too long ago. Sofia followed up with the broker- she will be in touch and confirmed the buyers' interest
Second showing, Came with 2 friends of hers that just bought an apartment each. Spent over 30mins in the unit, likes a lot of aspects of it (size/finishes) in unit W/D.
Third showing, brought other friends. Seems like she was looking for validation from them and she got it.
Said she saw the listing online the first time we listed it but was in Europe and couldn't come see it. Currently lives in a walkup, loved the unit; has everything she's looking for
Came with her sister; seemed to love it; they own at 235 East 40 and are in a 2 beds 800sf shared by the two sisters; would be a cash buyer; she is 30 years old; parents are in HK.
Young couple, husband works a lot from home. First apartment they saw, really like the duplex and it’s convenient for the wife that works on 33rd and 1st ave. Currently renting in the area, their lease expires in July. They ended up going for something at $1.1 as they are pre-approved up to 1.3MM
Family of 4, youngest kid is 2 years old. Currently own and live in the Hudson Valley but they want to move in the city for everyday life convenience. They liked the size and location.
He is from Madrid; he has a wife and two kids and they live in BK. They rent. His family used to live in this same apt 353 East 50 #6 in the 60's. He loves it and would like to explore the idea of buying it.
French couple, represented by an experienced broker. It was the first apartment they toured but liked a lot. They have an 11 year old Golden Retriever so they have to think if the stairs are sustainable for him

Since the start of January, we have had 3 showings: Joan Leite, a Hudson Valley resident looking for city convenience for her family of four, liked the size and location; Mateo Fernández-Muro, a Madrid native currently renting in Brooklyn, had family living in the same unit in the 60s; and Alexis Gai and Deborah Kantz, a French couple represented by an experienced broker, liked the apartment but are concerned about the stairs' suitability for their 11-year-old Golden Retriever. We have another showing coming up this week and will stay in close contact with all parties to see if there is any further interest in the unit.
