While much of the nation faces a pronounced housing cool down—characterized by rising inventory, longer days on market, and waning buyer urgency—NYC continues to resist the trend. Its resilience stems from a combination of structural scarcity, international appeal, and the steady return of high-earning professionals who anchor demand in key neighborhoods. Limited new construction, especially in Manhattan and brownstone Brooklyn, keeps inventory tight even as other markets overflow. At the same time, NYC's luxury and ultra-luxury segments remain persistent by global investors seeking stability, safe-haven assets, and long-term value. Add in a strong local job market, continued corporate relocations, and a surge in all-cash buyers insulated from high mortgage rates, and the result is clear: while the rest of the country cools, New York's housing market continues to heat up on its own terms.

Today on the show we are diving into New York City's luxury condo market — a market in flux like never before. Luxury in the 21st century isn't just about size or location anymore. Buyers are looking for wellness-focused amenities, cutting-edge technology, privacy, and sustainable design. With low inventory and a new wave of thoughtfully designed developments, the high-end market is being reshaped to offer experience, lifestyle, and long-term value alongside stunning architecture. Today, we'll break down what's driving these changes and what it really means to live luxuriously in modern Manhattan. And my guest today is Peter Zaitzeff. He is the polished, high-powered Sales Director for New Development at SERHANT and one of the firm's most influential agents. A lifelong New Yorker based in Tribeca, Peter has built a stellar reputation in luxury real estate, having closed more than $4.8 billion in over 500 deals.

For agents, brokers, and consumers alike, the key takeaway is adaptability. Embracing these tools doesn't replace the human element—it enhances it, making the process smarter, faster, and safer for everyone involved. The future of real estate will be digital-first, but the personal connection will remain central. Those who leverage these innovations while maintaining trust and authenticity are the ones who will thrive in this new era.

Today on the show we dive into one of the hottest debates in real estate: from the Big Apple to the Magic City of Miami. Where's the Smarter Investment? New York City and Miami have always been two of America's most dynamic real estate markets — each offering its own version of luxury, lifestyle, and opportunity. But as migration patterns shift, taxes and climate play bigger roles, and buyers seek not just homes but lifestyles, investors are asking: where does the smart money go next? We unpack the contrasts — from pricing trends and property taxes to lifestyle demands, developer incentives, and market resilience. Whether you're an agent helping clients decide between a Manhattan penthouse or a Miami high-rise, or an investor weighing long-term potential, this conversation will give you a clearer picture of what each market truly offers.

Today on the show, some advice, before you move to a new neighborhood in New York City, take it for a test drive. Every block has its own energy, and the best way to know if it is right for you is to experience it firsthand. Walk the streets at different times of day, grab coffee or dinner at local spots, and talk to residents to get the real scoop. Check out social media to see how locals live and what they love—or don't—about the area. And don't forget to test your commute and explore everyday conveniences. Before you sign that lease or make an offer to purchase, make sure the neighborhood feels like home. Featuring guests Steven Gottleib of Coldwell Banker Warburg and Christian Rogers of Compass.

Today on the show, we dive into a simple but powerful idea: your reputation is what arrives before you do. Long before you shake a hand, speak a word, or present your credentials, people already have an impression of who you are. That impression—fair or not—shapes how they listen to you, trust you, and decide whether they want to work with you. Whether you're a real estate professional competing in a crowded market, an entrepreneur trying to stand out, or simply someone navigating relationships and opportunities, your reputation is the silent ambassador that speaks on your behalf. And in today's hyper-connected world, where information—and misinformation—travels at lightning speed, reputation doesn't just matter; it can be the difference between doors opening or closing before you even arrive. In this episode, we're going to break down how reputations are built—intentionally or by default—why they carry more weight than ever, and what you can do to shape yours with purpose. We'll uncover strategies to make sure the story people tell about you matches the one you want told.
