You should host an “explore NYC” show. Interviewing business owners, reviewing the vibe of a place, food, art galleries, music venues etc. you should 100P do it! I would watch the CRAP out of that and I trust your opinion. Please please PLEASE consider doing a show like that!!!!!! You could even do traveling episodes!!! YOURE SO GOOD AT HOSTING
THANK YOU for the rent transparency!I was going to be so annoyed if costs weren’t included. We know you are blessed and make more than most of us watching but awareness/transparency is KEY!!!! LOVE ITTT! Plus a girl can dream :)
I am 31, married with a 5 year old. I live in a brand new custom built home in Florida and I ate this video up. No plans on moving but it was so nicely edited and easy to watch. Way to go, can’t wait to see what’s next.
Brooke I know I've said this before, but you are a natural host/presenter. Your reactions and follow up questions are so mature, genuine, and sophisticated. I really hope you go that route solo.
if u move to Brooklyn ... u could do a new series "Brooke in Brooklyn", kinda interviewing local businesses/influencers/random cool ppl... (someone else commented an idea similar so creds to them)
Don't be stuck in the mindset that you have two options - pay $10k in mortgage for a $1mill+ place or rent. There are cheaper, less luxurious options that still provide the amenities you want. You have to keep an open mind that if you don't like how a place looks, you can renovate with the remaining budget!
Just to expand on that, most people aren’t able to purchase their dream home as their first house. Majority of people have to sacrifice some wants/amenities in their first, maybe even second home. And that’s totally okay! Maybe it’s just the real estate investor in me, but building equity > renting luxury all day everyday lol
Appreciate that even though this has a higher production level and whatnot that it still feels like you, Brooke!! Props to you for trying new things! So excited for your next space!
Brooke this first episode of the series was AMAZING!!! And coming from someone that owns homes, if you can and have the mean to do so, BUY BUY BUY!!! So excited for you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing pricing and money! So open and honest, NYC is a totally different game then anything else so it’s interesting and wild to see haha
This is a great video! Fun but also informative at the same time, and I liked hearing your thought process throughout - not just a montage of what the apartments looked like. Keep up the great work!
The second place he’s like “the whole thing is a project” meanwhile I’m like I love everything and it’s exactly my style 😂 but I totally get what he’s saying. Absolutely loved this video! I can’t wait to see where you and Ben end up!
I do think you should buy! It’s just going to be hard with Ben - because yall aren’t married so whose name goes on the house who pays “rent” etc. etc. but I 100p recommend buying if you can because you’ll get your money back when you move next time - if you resell OR if you just rent out your unit. PROUD OF YOU - EXCITED FOR YOU. Having the flexibility to renovate your space is a great investment as well, because it could make you fall in love with the space way more! Rather than just spending a TON on a brand new space that you don’t specialize at all. Xxxx
Thank you for being open about pricing. And I’ve been guessing all year that you’re in frugal mode because you’re looking to buy! Hope whatever you wish for goes your way! ❤
We own a place in the same price range as the first place. You will always see the nicest and most expensive home first. Just remember, there's usually HOA in NYC and they can raise it from $1K per month to $5K (not uncommon). Also consider property taxes. Interest rates are high, so put down as much cash as possible. We paid ours off in a year for this reason (you don't want to pay principal for all of those years). Interest rates will probably go down before they go up. The Fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place. As someone who is married to a doctor - we are avid practicers of biohacking - try to not live near an expressway. The pollution causes many health problems. One of the main reasons as to why kids born in NY are lifelong asthma-ers. I believe this place will cost you more like $22K-$25K per month. Lastly, consider the state of the economy. Inflation is eating away at people's savings. We don't know how this beast will go. While it doesn't impact some of us, it can impact our streams of income. That's my advice from a 43-year-old who spent my entire twenties in NYC living the dream (and making financial mistakes by purchasing a little too early). I do not thinking renting is ideal; however, you are not responsible for potentially costly maintenance, property taxes or HOA. Personally, I would take the difference and invest it for another year. This is not financial advice, just a different perspective.
i bought a place that needed renovation and now i’m so glad i did. made it exactly how i wanted and you really can work within whatever budget you set for yourself
This apartment is STUNNING! The decor The LIGHT INSANE! First time on the channel before I heard what u did for a living I was like u have to make a HIGH salary to even look at something like this in Nyer....which is where I was born and raised! Thanks for the transparency! Still visit & love my home town but happy in Florida...4 beds, 3 baths and 2400 square feet. :)😊
I looooove the first one, but definitely knew it would be at least 10k a month! Kudos for wanting to live in that area...two months of that is a whole down payment on a home in central IL whewwwww
The apartment was beautiful and the filming was great. I’m a little annoyed with the real estate agent saying if the pet “is registered” they have to let you in and that it’s a “hack”. Now they may have clipped it to not include the full conversation but I’m guessing he meant if the dog is a registered Service Animal or Emotional Support Animal they have to let it in. Now he would be correct if you possess the proper papers/certification but a lot of places are cracking down on those who do not have “real” service/emotional support animals. I would be careful listening to this advice and do your own research.
I loveddddd this video, but these prices seem a tad out of reach? Is it a good use of time to tour things like this if it’s not realistic? I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome though 😊
Great video! Please consider purchasing something! My son has lived in the city for almost 9 years and upgrades his apartment every 2. SO MUCH MONEY! He has lived in FIDI for the past 2 and just moved again...I know you're all living your life there..but the rent $$$ just goes no where to benefit YOU. I hope you find something you love whether it is rent or buy. I love these videos!
Brooke! Your vlogs are seriously addictive, and your editing skills are on point! Even though I'm miles away in India, watching your videos makes me dream of NYC life. Sending lots of love your way! 🌟🎥🌆❤
I’m obsessed with this series already!! I love the production, the transparency, and information. A lot of people don’t get to see this process, so thank you so much for sharing with us💜💜💜
I love this! What a fun next chapter for you ❤ also I totally agree with others saying you are a natural presenter! I can totally see you hosting a property show one day 😍 you’re shining so bright and you have so much opportunity ahead of you 😊
HGTV who? The quality of the camera angles and edits combined with your natural charisma makes this feel so legit. Like actually puts HGTV to shame tbh
I love the first place.I didn’t catch how much it costs?? If I win the lottery would consider buying it. Michelle Choi just bought he first place somewhere in NY… Love this series, you seem like you love it too & so excited!! Like others have said you would make a great host for series like this!!❤
Great job on this series! So happy for you. LOVED price transparency. Try Arizona?? 🤣You could buy a whole apartment complex at those prices. It’ll all work out!
You just look AMAZING in this video. Your face, your hair, your body is just GLOWING and so gorgeous and refreshing and then your outfit is making you SHINE and is soooooo flattering!!!!!!!!!! And then your nail color?? Just the cherry on top! YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL BROOKE
As someone who has been watching you since I was 15, it's so interesting seeing you grow and become this amazing woman. I also live in NY, but I live in Queens and have always loved the thought of living in the city. Watching your videos make me happy and I love how open you are
This was a fascinating video! I do real estate in Southern California- orange county actually, and life is so different from coast to coast! But very well done and the editing was “chef’s kiss!” Can’t wait to see the journey to your next home!
The first one 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and the furniture and decor is 🔥🔥 all in haha, go for it! So proud of you, been watching you since freshmen year of highscool. Now I am a junior in university ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Curious.. if you buy will Ben going into it with you? Both names on the mortgage?! I am in this situation too. My boyfriend and I have been together as long as you and Ben and we are fighting the idea of buy or rent. If we buy, do we put both names on the mortgage!? We aren't married or even engaged.
I disagree with him. We rent after owning for 35 years. I love renting. We treat this home as our own. We paid to have it professionally landscaped, we have painted it and as our landlord told us when we moved in 14 years ago “treat it as yours”. I don’t care if I’m paying the Landlord or a bank, it is my home. BTW, our rent has never increased, probably because we take good care of it, and when things go wrong like replacing the dishwasher, we do it.
You should host an “explore NYC” show. Interviewing business owners, reviewing the vibe of a place, food, art galleries, music venues etc. you should 100P do it! I would watch the CRAP out of that and I trust your opinion. Please please PLEASE consider doing a show like that!!!!!! You could even do traveling episodes!!! YOURE SO GOOD AT HOSTING
I agree. This could be an extra show like Danielle's morning show
@@emiliaranta3858 what morning show?
THANK YOU for the rent transparency!I was going to be so annoyed if costs weren’t included. We know you are blessed and make more than most of us watching but awareness/transparency is KEY!!!! LOVE ITTT! Plus a girl can dream :)

Those QVC genes coming in hot lol this girl was raised by Adina!!
if u move to Brooklyn ... u could do a new series "Brooke in Brooklyn", kinda interviewing local businesses/influencers/random cool ppl... (someone else commented an idea similar so creds to them)
Better Brooke in Brooklyn than Broke in Manhattan
I never comment BUT this might be one of your best videos! The editing & vibes are unmatched

This is the grown up elevated content that I’m looking forward to seeing from you!
It’s giving House Hunters!! Appreciate the helpful tips from the real estate agent - so excited for you to embark on this journey!
Appreciate that even though this has a higher production level and whatnot that it still feels like you, Brooke!! Props to you for trying new things! So excited for your next space!
yeah she killed itttt
Loved it. The editing in this video is unreal. I'm so proud of you!
My fav kind of content! Can’t wait to see what you chose on this new journey
Brooke this first episode of the series was AMAZING!!! And coming from someone that owns homes, if you can and have the mean to do so, BUY BUY BUY!!! So excited for you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing pricing and money! So open and honest, NYC is a totally different game then anything else so it’s interesting and wild to see haha
I feel like I just watched the best episode of house hunters with my favorite TH-camr
This is a great video! Fun but also informative at the same time, and I liked hearing your thought process throughout - not just a montage of what the apartments looked like. Keep up the great work!

The agent is so real and not over the top! This is such a good video
Omg that first place was stunning but I almost fell off my chair with the price. Greatly appreciate you sharing
You could start doing reviews with restaurants or coffee places! This was one of your best ideas yet.
SO IN LOVE with this style of video!!! It really demonstrates your wonderful-personable communication skills
I do think you should buy! It’s just going to be hard with Ben - because yall aren’t married so whose name goes on the house who pays “rent” etc. etc. but I 100p recommend buying if you can because you’ll get your money back when you move next time - if you resell OR if you just rent out your unit.

This is INCREDIBLE!! I already love this series!! It’s giving HGTV and I’m obsessed🤩🤩
This is very interesting. Looking forward to seeing more!
If I were to live there I would choose Brooklyn because it has more of a HomeTown feel. But it's what fits you the best.

I second this! I was looking for this comment when he said it.
This video was amazing! You were amazing! Love the adulting in you! We saw a different Brooke and I love it!
This was such an honest and thorough video, and you are such a great host!!! This made me want to buy in New York for sure.
BROOKE!! The quality of this video is insane - I felt like I was watching HGTV ✨

Great video Brooke! Looking forward to this series
Brooke!! I loved this video!! More just like it!
HGTV who? The quality of the camera angles and edits combined with your natural charisma makes this feel so legit. Like actually puts HGTV to shame tbh
If that second apartment was a project to him, I could only imagine what he would say about my house, probably say it was a tear down.
I love the first place.I didn’t catch how much it costs?? If I win the lottery would consider buying it.
Michelle Choi just bought he first place somewhere in NY…
Love this series, you seem like you love it too & so excited!!
Like others have said you would make a great host for series like this!!❤
I think this sort of video is SUPER helpful to those looking for a place in NYC. Very cool to see!! ❤
Shoutout Jonathan! He is an amazing real estate agent and is perfect for this series - pumped to see more
Love this series already!!
Omg I LOVE this and can’t wait for the next one ✨

You’d be crazy if you didn’t get that apartment in the financial district. It’s beautiful, and that view.. it’s all so classy.
LOVE the style of this video and the editing! It's so elevated and sophisticated
This is a 2.2 million dollar condo. I’m done 😂 good for her!

I feel like I’m watching House Hunters! Loved this video

Loved this content
This was a fascinating video! I do real estate in Southern California- orange county actually, and life is so different from coast to coast! But very well done and the editing was “chef’s kiss!” Can’t wait to see the journey to your next home!
Are you buying or renting?
That is the question!!
I ❤Brooke it’s like I’m watching Daniella ❤
This makes me want to move lol thank you for this video! It was so well done
Cobble hill is the BEST Brooklyn neighborhood!!
The first one 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and the furniture and decor is 🔥🔥 all in haha, go for it! So proud of you, been watching you since freshmen year of highscool. Now I am a junior in university ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Okay now that I have watched more $15k a month is wild!! Haha I love the vibe so much, ❤️
I really enjoyed this video!!

My boyfriend and I have been together as long as you and Ben and we are fighting the idea of buy or rent. If we buy, do we put both names on the mortgage!? We aren't married or even engaged.

You are AMAZING!
Hi Brooke!! How exciting!!! Sending you tons of positive vibes and luck on your new place!!! Love you!! 🩷🚕🚕🩷
I would love to see how you decorate the different spaces!
Me watching this and judging every detail with 3 dollars in my account lmao
