s under his belt, he has represented prominent new condo developments in Manhattan and around the country, from The Chelsea Stratus in New York to the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas. Whomever the client, Adam truly enjoys helping homebuyers find the perfect home and sellers maximize their investment. Enthralled by the vibrant neighborhoods of downtown Manhattan, Adam takes great pleasure in teaching his clients about everything from building history to local lore. "It's always fun sharing my knowledge of the neighborhood and its history with my clients," Adam says. For instance, did you know that the term being 86'd originated at a West Village speakeasy in the 1920s, where the proprietor was known for grabbing rowdy patrons by the belt and collar and tossing them out the front door? That speakeasy, Chumley's, was set at 86 Bedford Street until a few years ago, when a wall fell from a neighborhood building and caused it to close." From colorful details like that to encyclopedic knowledge of available inventory, Adam is an invaluable guide throughout the entire process. He takes the client relationship seriously, availing himself to his customers 24 hours a day and mapping out the entire journey from start to finish. Born in Oklahoma, Adam received a BS degree before moving to Fort Worth, Texas for a position as a consultant with a pharmaceutical software company, and then to Dallas, where he worked in software sales. He then made his way to New York City as an advertising sales associate for Realtor.com and Move.com. Adam has applied his integrity and unparalleled professionalism to developing fruitful relationships with numerous buyers and sellers in Manhattan's luxury real estate market. "I've had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people during my career," says Adam, and he hopes you will be next.
