I loved this message, and what jumped out to me what the communication has been from our CEO, Bess Freedman. “I’m getting everyone through this.” We are some of the best agents in New York City, but when no one is doing business, it is clearly going to impact everyone.  It struck me as a

Working with buyers is about 50-55% of our business as a real estate team.  We love it.  Truly, helping buyers find what is next for them in their lives is the lifeblood of what I do.  It drives me.  I take great pleasure from helping buyers, seeing them and their lives unfold in the place

This month I speak about, what else? The real estate market! What is different is that this is the last newsletter that I will put out for the DECADE! And that had me thinking bigger picture than usual. Where do you want to live for the next decade? Are you where you want to be?
