Free February Apartment Buying Seminar

Hi, all. In case you missed the last one, my new real estate agency, Cooper & Cooper, is offering another free 1-hour webinar about Buying a Home in NYC. The date is 2/13/21, and the program will run from 1-2 PM. If you (or anyone you know) would be interested, please RSVP on the Cooper & Cooper website and use the promo code DK221. You will receive a confirmation email with login instructions.

The last seminar got rave reviews, so if you’re considering purchasing an apartment in NYC (or you’re just a real estate geek like I am), I think you’d enjoy the program. The Brothers Cooper are highly entertaining, and very generous with their knowledge. Please tell your friends!
