Lettuce pray ... for the best salad in town

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:01:01 EST

Salad - it has to be one of the best words ever invented to describe an apparent jumble of any kind of food... so long as it has a dressing!

Yes, according to the Oxford Press, a salad can be hot, cold, raw, frozen, warm, with lettuce or without... as long as it has a dressing.

Oxford tells us it's the Romans and Greeks we have to thank for inventing the salad, a word which comes from an ancient word for salt (who knew!)

Today, Americans devour salad by the bucket load and salad bars are as common as Brownstones in Brooklyn.

Whether it's snowing outside or 100 degrees in the shade, Manhattanites dig into their boiled beets and mesculin on a daily basis. But where do you get the best salad in the city?

That was the question we posed this week to find out where busy brokers can pick up a salad that will have you salivating at your desk. (more ...)

The Food Of Love

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:01:01 EST

We asked for romance, and you didn't disappoint.

With Valentines Day coming up, we polled brokers this week on the most romantic dinner spots. Here's what they said...

Antonio del Rosario takes his wife to Daniel, owned by celebrity chef Daniel Boulud, on East 64th and Park - just around the corner from the del Rosarios.

"You get truffles shaved in front of you and the food, service and ambience are truly unparalleled," said del Rosario, who found the three star French restaurant so romantic, he actually re-proposed to his wife there.

The AC Lawrence director of sales recalled "I kneeled and gave her another ring. Chef Boulud came out and gave us a tour of hi sacred kitchen.

"That night was magical. Even though we live mearby, it took us two hours to get home holding hands, interrupted by some smooches."

The firm's executive vice president Cheryl Greenberg broke her heart when Tavern on the Green closed last month. (more ...)

AC Lawrence 'VOWs' To Be One-Stop Shop

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:01:01 EST

A.C. Lawrence will be launching a VOW, or "Virtual Office Web site," which will allow users to browse all of the industry's listings without leaving the A.C. Lawrence Web site. The company plans to unveil the site by the end of the week, pending approval from the Real Estate Board of New York.

The Manhattan-based firm will implement its VOW company-wide, rather than by agent only, making it the first to do so in New York City, according to Antonio del Rosario, president of the sales division at the nearly 40-agent firm.

A VOW provides an opportunity for the boutique residential firm to keep apace with its larger rivals, del Rosario told The Real Deal. "It's really a no-brainer... the virtual office Web site levels the playing field for all the firms," he said.

The VOW approach is still a relatively new innovation in New York City, following a recent settlement between the Department of Justice and the National Association of Realtors. (more ...)

Shantal Cooper - Mann Report Round-Up

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:01:01 EST

How long have you been in the business?
Two Years

What made you decide to get into real estate?
My interest in the real estate industry started when I would always find the best quality bargain deals for myself and others. This was around the same time I had an injury and could not play actively on the varsity basketball team. This was awesome timing; I had more free time, besides college work, and I decided to get my license and focus on real estate part time. I instantly developed a real passion for the dynamics of the industry.

Who inspires you?
Everyone inspires me; I could go down a list. But in all honestly, I keep an open mind.

What pushes you to the next level?
Reality itself. My father passed away suddenly three years ago, and his passing changed me forever. I have always been ambitious, but death, especially when it's someone close reminds me that tomorrow is not promised. So I put my best effort out on a daily basis to be better than I was before.

Weinstein Mulls Future at MAI

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:01:01 EST

Jerry Weinstein, the man credited with creating one of the city's most successful brokerages, admitted this week his company's future remains in flux.

The 25-year old company rlast month hired the owners of the boutique firm A.C. Lawrence & Co. Real Estate to help get MAI back on track after a series of bombshell allegations over bounced checks and spiralling overheads. Both sides said that A.C. Lawrence is considering acquiring or merging with MAI.

There was still no word last week on when and if the deal will officially happen, however. "I don't have anything of substance (to report) right now," Weinstein told Brokers Weekly.

Weinstein said MAI is still in talks with A.C. Lawrence while also considering "all opportunities to grow." An announcement may not come until January, Weinstein said.

MAI was formed in 1984 by Weinstein, who got his start in the industry renting apartment in a small brokerage house on the Upper East Side. (more ...)

Buyers in a Garden State of Mind - Carleen McManus

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:01:01 EST

DONE DEALS

A.C. Lawrence & Company sales agent Carleen McManus just closed on an "amazing" sales at the gorgeous 77 Hudson in Jersey City.

McManus told us her clients had been looking in Manhattan for a one bedroom apartment, but decided to check what the Garden State had to offer. And they're glad they did.

They paid $435,000 for the one bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, European-inspired kitchen, washer/dryer, hardwood parquet floors and marble bathroom.

Said McManus, "the same budget would have bought them an apartment that was much smaller and with less amenities. Basically that same apartment would have been $700,00 in midtown."

And of course, the Hovnanian-built tower is only one stop away from Manhattan on the 24-hour Path train. (more ...)

The Hunt - Apartment Hunter Lucky With No. 13

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:01:01 EST

With housing prices declining in New York City, Lori Leach figured it would be easy to persuade her landlord to reduce her rent.

So she set out to find comparable rents for apartments like hers: a one-bedroom in a small Yorkville elevator building. She figured she could pare at least $300 from her monthly payout of $2,525.

Instead, she noticed that prices for co-ops were also low - low enough for her to afford to buy one.

"I never in a million years thought I would be able to own in the city," Ms. Leach said. She had always felt bad "writing that rent check every month and not having anything to show for it at the end," she said.

Ms. Leach, 35, comes from Jackson, a small town in southern Ohio. She studied accounting at Ohio State University in Columbus, and then lived mostly in Cleveland. Nearly seven years ago, she relocated to New York, staying for a few weeks with her best friend and college roommate in the East Village. (more ...)

The crew at A.C. Lawrence & Company were only happy to weight in with a few suggestions.

Sales associate Dan Abrams said, "I'm a big fan of Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir. It pairs perfectly with any well-made pork dish."

Marci Redmond likes a nice Merlot, "preferably White Tail. Since I'm a steak person, I think it goes well with a New York Strip or London Broil."

Gregory Olson said, "My favorite wine is Friday Monkey Shiraz. It's expensive, light, easy to drink and would probably pair just as well with a bag of Cheetos as a family dinner."

Anthony DePalma said, "Kendal-Jackson's Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the best wine I have ever tasted. It has elegant yet spicy notes like oak and berry. I recommend it to all connoisseurs."

Some dollar-conscious buyers sneak around agents in hope of saving money on their purchase

Edward Longley of City Connections Realty at 88 Greenwich Street, where a client tried to go around him to buy a condo.
Real estate brokers are often stereotyped as shysters and double-dealers. But in today's rocky market, buyers are sometimes the ones being deceptive.

Edward Longley, an associate broker at City Connections Realty, was shocked to discover recently that his clients were planning to buy the 88 Greenwich Street condo he had shown them -- but without paying Longley a commission. And real estate agent Carleen McManus arranged for her client to see a unit at Jersey City's 77 Hudson before she went on vacation, only to return and find the client negotiating to buy a unit there.

Final hours for rental firm?
Manhattan Apartments struggles in downturn, but a merger may help the teetering brokerage

By Candace Taylor

Manhattan Apartments founder Jerry Weinstein A few months ago, Michele Colen found the apartment she had been searching for: a newly renovated, no-fee Upper East Side studio in a building that welcomed Leo, her golden retriever-dachshund mix.

That day, she swiped her debit card twice: once for the security deposit, and once for the first month's rent, plus a $50 credit check fee. Her bank statement showed that the funds had left her account, so she was baffled when, a month after moving in, she received a statement from her landlord showing an outstanding balance.

It turned out the $1,500 security deposit check that Manhattan Apartments Inc. -- her real estate firm, also known as MAI -- had written to the landlord on her behalf had bounced.

She contacted MAI, demanding to know what happened to her money. (more ...)

Movin' on up
When determining the bottom of the barrel of New York professionals it usually goes something like this:

-Investment bankers
-Crack dealers
-Illegal Arms traders
-Real Estate agents

Although I'm pretty sure those are interchangeable. If it were up to Ladybird and me, real estate agents would vault to the top (or bottom depending on how you look at it) of that list. However, it wasn't always that way. We actually held NY rentals agents in high regard. We thought they were the ones with the power to deliver people to a good home. Friendly voices that would comfort us through a stressful search. People to listen to what we wanted and match us with a perfect residence. Stupid us.

With weekends out of town in Mid-April and a May 1 move date, we packed our first (and pretty much only) search weekend with appointments starting on Friday night and went straight through Sunday afternoon. (more ...)
