Roy Silber is a Manhattan real estate broker with 27 years of experience and over 1,000 closed transactions. He is the founder of DejaView Residential, a boutique firm specializing in Manhattan condos, co-ops, luxury sales and rentals, primarily in the $2M to $5M range.

DejaView Residential specializes in Manhattan real estate including condos, co-ops, luxury rentals and sales. The firm also offers exclusive international listings including a rare private island in French Polynesia.

Buying a co-op in NYC requires board approval, a strong financial profile, and a well-prepared board package. Roy Silber has 27 years navigating co-op purchases and can guide buyers through every step of the process.

A condo means you own the unit outright. A co-op means you own shares in a corporation that owns the building. Co-ops typically have stricter buying requirements but can offer better value. DejaView Residential helps buyers navigate both.

Look for someone with deep market knowledge, a strong track record of closed transactions, and negotiation experience in competitive situations. A great broker is not just a door opener, they are a strategist who protects your interests from offer to closing.

Start by defining your top priorities. Every buyer or renter has a unique set of must-haves, whether that is location, condition, amenities, views, or building type. Once you rank what matters most to you, the listing that checks the most boxes on your priority list is likely your best value. If it also fits your budget, you have found your winner. The mistake most people make is chasing a perfect listing instead of the right one for their specific needs.
