This is not attorney advice and past results do not guarantee future outcomes

This week we're talking about permits. Specifically

1. What in the world are they for?

2. When do you need them?

3. Who gets them?

4. What happens if you don't get them?

5. Why am I so pumped about them?

It's a huge topic that's often underdiscussed in real estate circles, so I hope this podcast gives you some better idea about the process and steps you can take to ensure you're covered. Shoutout to Mike Daddio, a client, friend, and licensed contractor, who was so kind to give me some of his time to discuss some pitfalls.

Also, and I have to say it, none of this is legal advice and none of this creates an attorney-client relationship. I know, I know.

Did the new tax laws have an effect on the real estate marketplace? What in the world are the new tax laws, btw? I summarize the new changes and provide some viewpoints on how this has shifted a purchasers thought process when buying in NYC

Mortgage Commitments are totally misunderstood. I use the example of a proposal on the beach (because, why not) to illustrate the difference between a good one and a ...not so good one.

The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 has caused more uproar than the troubling, and poorly written, Game of Thrones finale (Bran, of all people...) In this short, 5 minute podcast, we discuss some of the most important parts and implications of the Act.

The Bowery Boys Podcast is my favorite podcast in the world. Why? Because it brings history to life. This week, I was genuinely humbled to meet Greg Young, a co-host of the Bowery Boys Podcast. We talked real estate, sure. But we also compared 2018 New York to New York of the 19th Century, and boy do we have it good. I can’t tell you how much fun I had recording this. Hope you enjoy

Ronita Kalra knows a thing or two about paying dues. After working her way through the finance world to setting sales records for Apple, she decided to make the leap into New York City real estate. Establishing herself on a talented team at Douglas Elliman, and initially working for, and now with, Luis Ortiz (from "Million Dollar Listing") she stands out from the crowd. Value. No Ego. Selling without actually selling. What an interview. We discuss everything from how an immigrant upbringing shapes you to how to adapt to the ever changing real estate market. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did

To say Leonard Steinberg has had a storied career in New York real estate is a bit of an understatement. With a little over $2 Billion dollars in brokered transactions to his name, he made the leap from a comfortable existence at Douglas Elliman to become the President of Compass, then, an up and coming brokerage. We talk about everything from why he left the fashion world to pursue real estate to what he thinks the future of the NYC real estate market will look like. A thoughtful conversation about risk, passion, and remaining true to yourself within a difficult industry.
