The Cooperative Corporation's Own Sales
Program
The Cooperative Corporation maintains its own apartment sales office
and on-site sales agent for the unsold apartments at Georgetown
Mews.
Georgetown acquired the rights to sell 311 of the "Unsold Apartments"
from the holder of unsold shares, Overseas Commodities Limited,
in 1995.As these apartments become vacant they are offered to the
public for sale pursuant to the Offering Plan.In addition, the Cooperative
Corporation, from time to time, exercises its right of first refusal
and repurchases the shares of tenant-shareholders.
The apartments are renovated for the purchasers with new kitchens,
bathrooms, and other improvements.
The sales office is located at 69-25 150th Street, Kew
Garden Hills, New York.This office is on the southeast corner of
150th Street and Jewel Avenue.For an appointment to see
available apartments, contact the sales agent Bernard Anzel at (718)
575-1332.
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.
The rules and regulations of the Cooperative Corporation, the minutes
of Board and Shareholder meetings and other corporate records are
available to inspect at the on-site management office.
