My most recent newsletter outlines the supply issues we’re seeing, how interest rates are affecting the market, and my thoughts on the future of real estate commissions. Click the link in my bio.

SOLD -

This deal is solely responsible for thousands of dollars in therapy sessions, an equal dollar amount of wine consumption, and a viscous bout of insomnia. Just when I began to lose faith, the stars aligned, and we got this deal to the finish line.

I'm grateful for the opportunity a close friend gave me to represent her. It's not lost on me that she had thousands of agents to choose from, and she continued to do so to the end.

I also couldn't be happier for the buyer, who I know personally from Equinox. He's a gem, and I get the impression that owning his first home means a lot to him.

Happy Friday!

Don’t count your chickens before they 🐣 hatch. Deals can fall apart between accepted offer and contract signing. There’s a lot of excitement and remorse going on during the purchase process. The current macro environment makes our emotions even more volatile. Keep your cool. I’ve been doing this long enough to know better but it even catches me by surprise when someone changes their mind. I’ve been on both sides of the negotiation and It sucks on so many levels. but it happens. Eyes wide open.

New post on why I'm still bullish on the NYC Market. Real estate is hyperlocal and a lot of buyers bought at the top. I would expect to see some markets take a long time to get back to the all-time highs we've seen over the last 24 months. But, much of US real estate will trend higher.

You’re going to hear the narrative that the real estate market is shifting. It’s easier to sell the negative. It’s clickable. Articles titled “10 Reasons Everything is Going to be Okay!” appeals to very few. It’s easier to get your attention if I’m screaming, “the sky is falling”
