Khatera Ahmad
Showing Agent and Closing Coordinator
Khatera Ahmad’s role at Vandenberg is central to promoting and safeguarding our sellers’ interests. She introduces our townhouse exclusives to the brokerage community and their buyers, and then follows up Vandenberg’s negotiated townhouse sales contracts to closing, attending to every pre-closing detail.
As Showing Agent and Closing Coordinator, Khatera has been on the inside of more Manhattan townhouses than 99% of New York City’s real estate agents. As most agents in the city focus on selling coops and condos, they rely on Khatera to provide townhouse expertise in her showings and in answering their buyer’s follow-up questions.
As Showing Agent, Khatera:
-
understands the best features of each of our townhouse listings;
-
knows how each listing compares competitively with other townhouses on the market;
-
tenaciously protects our sellers’ concerns regarding the showing of their properties to qualified buyers; and
-
ensures that any tenants are treated with courtesy and respect.
Khatera makes sure the brokerage community knows about our townhouse listings. Within hours of a new Vandenberg exclusive listing, Khatera has notified every brokerage in REBNY and sent an email to our custom database of “specialist” agents who work with qualified buyers in the townhouse market. This ensures that each property’s feature sheet goes directly to important agents, rather than get buried in brokerage databases.
An excellent listener, she pays close attention to agents’ and buyers’ feedback during showings, and offers critical input to Dexter for owners on the pricing of their property and any changes they might consider to enhance or expedite the sale of their townhouse.
Khatera’s role in New York City’s townhouse community of buyers and sellers extends into all of Vandenberg’s closings, as she sees all sales through to closing in her dual role as Closing Coordinator. She hones in on the multitude of tasks required to be completed prior to closing, ensuring that architects, engineers, appraisers and contractors are put in place to offer solutions. She works with Dexter and Jane to make sure any issues are addressed, maintaining momentum all the way to successful closings on behalf of our sellers.
Khatera’s combination of listening skills and poise enables her to establish rapport with all who are involved in the sales process, and her diplomacy facilitates a smooth sales process.
Khatera has a strong aesthetic sensibility, which enables her to see and emphasize a property’s strong points – and its potential. In her personal life, Khatera is an artist, focusing on creative jewelry. Working exclusively and beautifully with silver and gold chains, she has been invited to show her work in an upcoming “trunk” show at Henri Bendel.
Real estate agents should call Khatera anytime to set up showings of Vandenberg’s unique properties at (212) 769-2900 extension 221.
