General Procedures to Purchase

Purchasers of all apartments at Georgetown are required to be approved by the Board of Directors of the Cooperative Corporation. The application process starts with a fully completed and executed contract of sale. The purchaser is then required to produce proof of any financing required in order to buy the apartment. These documents together with reference letters, personal financial information and other supporting documents are submitted to the Board with a completed purchase application and credit reports.

Once the application is reviewed by the Board the apartment MUST be inspected prior to any interview taking place. If no house rules are violated, an interview is then scheduled in the evening with the applicants and all proposed occupants. The Board schedules interviews once a month.

If any portion of the documentation is missing after being submitted to the Board for review, the entire application will be returned to the prospective purchaser for completion of the missing documentation.

Prospective purchasers are expected to have reviewed and be familiar with the provisions of the house rules of Georgetown. Prospective purchasers will be questioned on the house rules at any scheduled interviews.

Copies of the purchase application form, the house rules, the list of supporting documentation and instructions for completing and submitting the purchase application are available from the on-site management offices [(718) 544-2626] or the transfer agent’s office [(718) 544-4673].

The transfer agent charges a fee for processing the applications as well as for preparing the necessary closing documents.Purchasers must also pay for the cost of credit reports and lien searches.A schedule of anticipated fees is available from the transfer agent, Donna Anzel, at the transfer agent office.

Purchasers who require a complete set of the four (4) volumes representing the Offering Plan and its myriad amendments may purchase them from the transfer agent, if the seller is unable to provide a set.
