The Buyer's Agent

Justin Belmont

I'm Justin Belmont — I was born and raised in NYC, got my MBA at Columbia, and I've lived all over the city from the Upper West Side to Tribeca to Brooklyn.

Unlike most agents, I have years of experience buying, renovating, and renting out properties in New York. I've dealt with co-op boards, building assessments, and contractors. That hands-on knowledge gives my clients a unique advantage.

I don't host open houses. I don't "virtually stage" apartments. I don't market listings. I only represent buyers, helping you make smarter decisions from the first search to the closing table.

The Buyer's Portal

We built a command center for the biggest purchase of your life, supporting every decision from first search to closing table.

FAQs

It means we exclusively represent buyers — never sellers. Most agents do both, which can create conflicts of interest. When we represent you, our only goal is getting you the best deal possible.
The seller pays our commission — the same way they'd pay any agent. There's no additional cost to you for working with us instead of a traditional agent.
Yes. You don't get less service. You get better alignment and more attention.
We cover all of New York City but our deepest experience is in Manhattan and Brooklyn for homes priced between $1M and $5M.
Absolutely. First-time buyers benefit most from having a dedicated advocate. We'll walk you through every step of the process, from mortgage pre-approval to closing.
It's a personalized dashboard we create for each client with curated listings, our analysis notes, tour photos and videos, and insights you won't find on public listing sites. We flag opportunities like below-market pricing and negotiation leverage.
We use data to contextualize what you're seeing: pricing relative to recent sales, time on market, building dynamics. Every property in your portal comes with analysis, not just a listing link.
We run a personalized Rent vs. Buy analysis that factors in your specific situation — current rent, down payment, rates, expected appreciation. We answer the "should I buy?" question before we start searching.
