keller williams new york city: How Do You Start a Movement?
- 08/18/11 01:12 AM
Each of us makes a choice every day to get up, get motivated and hopefully, inspire others along the way. Some of us have come from humble beginnings, while others took over the reins of a family business. We all have role models -- those individuals that struck a chord with us; whether it be something he/she has accomplished or some words of encouragement that lit a fire, so to speak, underneath us.
When I arrived in Manhattan several years ago, I never dreamed I’d be where I am today. It took hard work and never losing sight of … (4 comments)

Whatever profession we choose, we often aspire to and take cues from those who have paved the way and “graduated to greatness.” These individuals not only achieve financial success but are passionate about life, sometimes come from humble beginnings and never give up, despite the odds.

keller williams new york city: New York Real Estate Brokers
- 07/27/11 03:53 AM
Why to Use One Instead of Selling Yourself A friend of a mine told me recently one of his friends was moving to Manhattan. This person had begun the process of looking at options for buying in New York City. After he got over the initial shock of real estate pricing compared to his Southern location, he was also confused at the differences in how real estate worked here. He’d tell my friend, “But, here our closings work this way....or, real estate brokers here do this...” My friend’s advice to him: Forget everything you’re used to...New York real estate is … (2 comments)

- 07/26/11 01:06 AM
Despite whether the market is hot or lukewarm, there’s always creative ways in which to attract buyers. Some work better than others according to what’s going on in a particular market, but I thought I’d share some of the ways in which we’re being proactive in seeking out potential clients.

When I meet with a prospective buyer for the first time, I have a sit-down, relaxed meeting and listen to what they’re looking for. I may have an idea from a phone call or email, but nothing beats a face-to-face meeting. … (10 comments)

The busy Flatiron District is a short cab ride away and it’s close to … (0 comments)

keller williams new york city: The “New” High Line in Chelsea, New York City
- 06/13/11 01:57 AM
Section 2 Opens for Summer! As a New Yorker, I’m constantly inspired by the innovative ways in which developers and community leaders transform abandoned, seemingly useless relics of history into not only gorgeous green spaces, but places where Manhattanites can relax amongst one of the busiest cities in the world.
The High Line in Chelsea is certainly an example of that. In the mid-80s, a group of Chelsea residents, “Friends of the High Line,” rallied and gained support to reuse what was once an elevated freight train structure into a pristine, beautiful and elevated public park.
