Highline Residential is a young and vibrant brokerage built on excellence and a cross-disciplinary approach. Highline was started in 2012 by three principals with an elite educational background including Harvard, Brown, and MIT and professional backgrounds spanning real estate, finance, technology, banking, design, and construction. This unique approach allowed them to evolve Highline Residential into a true one-stop shop; through its in-house teams, Highline Residential agents can offer their clients not just exceptional real estate services but all necessary ancillary services in renovation, construction, property management, online marketing, and much more. Highline's expertise in technology and an in-house tech team with several decades of combined experience allowed them to build a cutting-edge real estate software platform that is vastly superior to the aging platforms used by most of its competitors. Highline's platform, easily accessible from Web or mobile, gives agents real-time access to close to 25,000 listings under one roof, one-click marketing abilities via email, social media, SEO, show sheets, Craigslist and automatic syndication to all the major real estate Web sites. Integrated statistics and other tools ensure agents have superior knowledge of the market and their inventory. Besides the technology team, Highline's management team further consists of a variety of professionals rounding out its service offerings: full time financial analysts, a photographer, videographer, graphic designer, architectural designer, interior designer, and construction managers allow Highline agents to service their clients beyond simply the signing of a contract. The listings department, together with the property management wing of the firm, provide access to listings inventory unavailable at other firms. Highline's investment team allows agents to pitch new developments, win exclusives with confidence and syndicate deals. Through the commercial side of its brokerage and the Ensemble Coworking Space that it is operating, Highline has access to New York's vibrant startups scene, venture capitalists, private equity and dozens of entrepreneurs, creating wonderful networking opportunities and business synergies. Highline's modern approach allows it to operate very efficiently and thereby offer improved commission splits to its agents not enjoyed at other firms. Agents' knowledge of the industry and procedures is constantly honed through an intense training program and ongoing training is provided on various industry topics by subject matter experts. Given all the advantages it offers, it is no surprise that Highline quickly grew to over 200 agents, thriving in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. .
