The beauty of NYC Commercial Real Estate

@bobknakalnyc posted this photo of a development site assembled by Extell Development and sold to Bentley Zao. HOWEVER, the small gray building with the red awning on the left was once known as 137 East 47th Street. It changed my life and it’s impact echoes decades later.

I was just starting out in real estate working for my father, and at the empty desk next to mine a phone rang and I picked it up. George Rokkos was looking for an old associate that had left a year earlier. I introduced myself and asked how I could help him. Long story short he had a vacancy on the 2nd floor of his walk up. This was my first landlord agency. I leased it in a couple of months and had earned my commission.

One year later, I receive a call from George Rokkos again and he asked me if I sell properties, and although I had zero experience, I said “of course!” And met him in person. He confessed he was sick with cancer and he wanted to leave something for his children. After months and months of marketing and advertising I finally secured a purchaser and we were set to close.

I didn’t know it then, but the impact this closing had on me was absolutely incredible. Once the checks were distributed, I was absolutely giddy. The total commission was around $75,000 and my half ($37,500) felt like so much money to me, especially because it was in a single check. I knew from then on the NYC CRE was my calling.

I sold the property 8 years later to Gary Barnett and the purchaser of 137 E 47th had made an 8x on their equity during that time.

2nd picture is of me with friends later that summer at 24 years old.
