Iman Bacodari is a vice president with the Jacky Teplitzky team – ranked #1 in 2007 by Prudential Douglas Elliman
When you work with Iman Bacodari, it doesn’t matter if you’re a buyer, seller or investor. Why? Because Iman has the natural instinct and ability to connect with all of his clients, regardless of their real estate needs. Combined with his knowledge of New York City’s intricate real estate market, Iman is the go-to man for anyone looking to buy, sell or invest in Manhattan properties.
How does he do it? Iman prides himself on staying extremely well-informed to the ever-transforming trends and developments that shape (and continually re-shape) the Manhattan real estate market. Through a combination of hard work and instinct, Iman is constantly evaluating what sells, what’s in high-demand, what market forces are at play and how all of this will impact his clients’ real estate decisions. With that knowledge, he puts together a strategic plan that allows his buyers to view properties that meet their specific lifestyle needs and budget. For sellers, that planning helps to attract the largest pool of pre-qualified buyers in as short as time as necessary. And for investors, Iman will advise them to either hold onto to their properties a little longer to maximize their financial investment or when to sell to get the greatest return. That computer-like knowledge combined with a deep commitment to customer service not only has built Iman a loyal following but helped to contribute to the Jacky Teplitzky team being ranked #1 by Prudential Douglas Elliman in 2007 – that’s out of more than 3,300 agents in more than 60 offices. And it also contributed to the team being ranked #3 among all the teams in the entire Prudential Real Estate Affiliates network of over 65,000 agents.
A man of many real estate talents, Iman is also the Jacky Teplitzky team’s resident FSBO (For Sale By Owner) expert. His ample powers of gentle persuasion have convinced many owner-sellers that selling on their own may not be the best course of action for them. One major disadvantage, as Iman points out, is pricing. Brokers have access to reams of pricing data that are not available to the general public. With that information, a broker can properly price a home – and proper pricing means that an apartment will sell faster, a key factor in today’s market. Iman also gently notes the enormous amount of work involved in selling a home, from getting the property prepared for sale to pre-qualifying potential buyers to arranging and holding open houses to working with real estate attorneys. And the most critical hurdle for many is the co-op board approval process, one of the most complex and delicate procedures that any homeowner will ever go through -- and one that most New Yorkers have to go through since 75% of the city’s apartments are co-ops. One misstep and the whole transaction can collapse. Iman, along with fellow team members, have managed dozens of successful board approvals in some of the Manhattan’s most exclusive and demanding addresses and that experience and ability to foresee and break through potential obstacles is priceless.
