Frederick Peters started in real estate in 1980, and he began managing the family business, the Warburg Peters brokerage, in 1991.  But New York real estate’s days of old - property listings written on file cards, agents tipping doormen to generate leads - has changed, and with it Peters’ brokerage. Realogy-owned Coldwell Banker bought the brokerage in October. Peters said his agents could not keep up with competitors absent the merger. 

For this episode of Houses in Motion, a podcast miniseries that is part of HousingWire Daily,  HousingWire real estate reporter Matthew Blake interviewed Peters about his thoughts and feelings behind the merger, and what has changed in New York City real estate.
