Talking New York Real Estate with Vince Rocco

On this week's show, Vince evaluates the modern luxury real estate buyer. Globally minded and experience-driven, these buyers are no longer driven solely by status or zip code, but by quality of life, long-term value, and the ability to live on their own terms. In this new era, luxury in NYC means access, freedom, and the power to curate a life across continents—without compromising on standards. Featuring guests Rory Clark of Brown Harris Stevens, Leonard Steinberg of Compass, and real estate consultant, Ben Willig.

On this week's show, in New York City, townhouse renovations are a world of their own—blending history, ambition, and precision. These projects go far beyond cosmetic upgrades; they often involve reimagining century-old spaces for modern living while respecting the building's architectural integrity. From gut renovations that reveal hidden surprises behind plaster walls, to custom millwork, parlor floor restorations, and excavated garden levels—no two townhouses are ever the same. Today, we're joined by experts, Omri Lehat of Victorian Renaissance, and Roman Chernous of Roman Che Studio, to unpack the complex dance between structure, style, and lifestyle.

Today on the show, we're diving into a shifting real estate landscape where inventory lingers, and deals don't move like they used to. The old-school obsession with listings just doesn't cut it anymore.

Client over Listing isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a call to action. Today's guests are Jared Antin, BHS' Executive Director, and Molly B. Townsend of Molly B. Townsend Coaching & Consulting, to unpack why today's most effective agents are shifting from a property-first mindset to a people-first approach.

The modern agent isn't just a marketer of homes—they're a strategist, a therapist, and a trusted guide through the highs and lows of the buying and selling journey. Because in today's market, listings don't close deals—relationships do.

Stick with us as we explore how putting the client at the center of everything isn't just good business—it's the only way forward.
