Refer a client in New York City
When you send me a client in New York City, they get a written referral agreement, a standard referral fee back to you at closing, and a link to their own file that stays live after the deal closes.
I am Milton Coste, Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker with Keller Williams NYC, working across all five boroughs and the Hudson Valley in English and Spanish. My office is at 360 Madison Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
What your client actually gets
I run my own client system: every report I send stays live and re-checks itself, every client has one permanent page, and I read the city's own property records before my buyer bids. Send me your New York City referrals and your client will see all three.
The report keeps checking itself
The report I send you is not a snapshot. It keeps watching your building, and if a comparable closes or a price moves enough to matter, you hear it from me that week, not next quarter.
Every report I send has a watch on it. A change under the threshold updates quietly. A change that matters becomes a message your client reads from me first.
One client page that outlives the deal
You get one link that holds everything about your deal, and it stays yours after we close, so five years from now your contract, your closing statement and your building's numbers are still one click away.
The search, the reports, the documents and the dates sit behind one private link. It does not expire at closing.
The public record, read before the bid
Before you bid I pull the building's actual record from the city: the deed history, every open violation, every permit filed, and what the neighbors paid, so you are the only person in the room who knows what you are buying.
ACRIS, HPD, DOB and PLUTO, read on the address and delivered as a report before the offer rather than after the inspection.
How the fee works
A referral is papered before anything happens: a written referral agreement between the two brokerages, naming the client and the term. The fee is the standard referral fee, paid broker to broker at closing out of my side of the commission, never out of your client's pocket. I do not publish a rate on a web page, because the number belongs in the agreement we both sign rather than in marketing copy.
What you hear back
You get a note when I reach the client, a note when we sign, a note at contract and a note at closing. If the client stops replying, you hear that too. A referral you never hear about again is a referral you stop sending.
Send a referral
Tell me who to expect and what they are trying to do. I will reply within one business day with the referral agreement.
Questions agents ask
Do you work outside Manhattan?
Yes. Closed deals span Upper Manhattan, the Upper East Side, Williamsburg, Clinton Hill, Jackson Heights and Fort Hamilton, plus the Hudson Valley. There is no one neighborhood I am limited to.
What happens to a referral that does not transact this year?
The client stays on my record with their stage and their next step, and you keep the referral under the agreement term we signed. Buyers who went silent for a year and came back are a normal part of this business.
Do you take rentals?
Yes, and rental referrals are papered the same way. FARE Act rules apply to how any rental is marketed and who pays what, and I follow them.
Can you work with a Spanish speaking client?
Yes. I work in English and Spanish, and the client page and the reports exist in both.
