SOLD | 211 West 131st Street 🏡 | A Historic Harlem Gem
Some deals take a little more patience — and a lot more heart.
We had a signed contract fall through early on in the process, and had to go back to square one. But sometimes that reset is exactly what brings the right buyer to the table. After relaunching, we found the perfect match — someone who not only loved the home but also connected with its story.
The seller had lived in the property for over 20 years and put real care into preserving its original details — from rebuilding the staircase and spindles to filling the home with rare cultural and historical artifacts. During one of the showings, a conversation sparked between the buyer and seller over a book on the shelf. That conversation on history and anthropology lasted over an hour — and in that moment, the sale truly started to take shape.
While it's not common to have buyers and sellers interact directly, in this case, it added depth and meaning to the transaction. Sometimes, shared values and a connection to the spirit of a place are just as important as square footage.
Congrats to both sides on a meaningful exchange of more than just property — this one was a true passing of the torch.

SOLD | 416 East 117th Street, #5A 🏙️ | Condo Living with $7 Taxes
Helping clients downsize isn’t just about space — it’s about redefining comfort and lifestyle.
This seller had spent years in a Harlem brownstone, spread across five floors, and the idea of moving to a single-level condo felt like a big shift. Understandably so. But we took the time, explored options, and ultimately landed on the perfect fit.
Unit 5A offered the best of both worlds — spacious layout, two king-sized bedrooms, a private balcony, and taxes of just $7/month through 2034. A real gem in a well-managed building with a gym, garden, elevator, and optional private parking.
It wasn’t just a smart financial move — it was the right space to start a new chapter, without sacrificing the feel of a real home.
Grateful to have helped make this transition smooth, thoughtful, and strategic.

🏡 Just Listed: 124 West 131st Street | $3,495,000
A landmark Central Harlem brownstone — masterfully reimagined as a luxurious single-family residence. Over 4,000 square feet across all floors, with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a full cellar, private garden, and ~3,000 SF of unused air rights. Features include a full-floor primary suite with a spa-style bath, walk-through dressing room, and Finnish sauna — plus a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances, restored clawfoot tub, herringbone floors, and spray foam insulation for modern efficiency. All nestled on a quiet, tree-lined landmarked block.
🎨 Now Featuring: “The Spirituality of Color”
Curated by Gladwell Projects founder and Gallerist @ine_kimba, "Domestic Interventions: The Spirtuality of Color" transforms this historic brownstone to showcase museum quality exhibition — featuring works by:
Agnes Martin, Kylie Manning, Sam Gilliam, Gerard Mosse, Antonia Kuo, Torkwase Dyson, Spencer Russell Lewis, Haejin Park, Chiffon Thomas, Jason Fox, Frank Bowling, Reginald Sylvester II, Theresa Chromati, Greg Ito, Naomi Lisiki, Trevor Warren, Shaniqwa Jarvis, Brianne Garcia, Rachel Eulena Williams, and Taha Heydari.
🎉 Opening Night Highlights
Over 200 people came through on opening night, including representatives from MoMA, the Guggenheim, Studio Museum, and the Whitney — plus top collectors and respected art advisors. I ran into several artists in attendance as well, including Jay Payton, Tariku Shiferaw, Jamel Robinson, Alteronce Gumby, and Nate Lewis.
I’m grateful we had the opportunity to show how art and real estate can intersect to create a truly unique and memorable experience for everyone who walked through the doors.

SOLD | 115 West 122nd Street 🏡 | Asking $2.595M
This one was all about finding the right fit—and understanding how to make it work.
I had the pleasure of working with a married couple who had a very specific need: one of them is an entrepreneur who needed a dedicated work studio inside their home. We found the perfect match in this 20-foot-wide brownstone on a prime Mt. Morris Park block.
The stoop-less entry made the parlor level feel especially dramatic, and the top floor—once an artist’s studio—was exactly what they needed for their own creative workspace. The bonus? The rear of the property overlooks a community garden, not another brownstone, offering rare privacy and light. It’s also one of the few extended buildings on the block, giving it unique rear exposure and sightlines.
On top of the location and layout, I was able to negotiate over $40,000 in seller credits at closing—helping my clients walk into their new home with flexibility and peace of mind.
This deal took listening, creativity, and strategy—and I couldn’t be more excited for them as they start their next chapter in Harlem.

JUST LISTED | 313 West 142nd Street, #2A 🏙️ | 3 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,600+ Sq Ft
Looking for true space in the city? Welcome to Unit 2A — a rare, light-filled corner 3-bedroom condo offering over 1,600 square feet of comfort, function, and charm in the heart of Harlem.

SOLD | 300 West 122nd Street, #6O 🏙️ | Luxury Harlem Condo
This one was far from simple. With limited financing options tied to the building, we knew early on this sale would require a cash buyer. I secured three — the first two fell through for different reasons — but persistence paid off. The third buyer not only had the ability to close, but this unit was a perfect fit for their lifestyle.
For the seller, this was the final step before moving into their next home — and I’m proud to have guided them through a complicated sale with clarity and patience.
As for the home itself? Truly one of a kind. From custom finishes and Carrara marble countertops to French gold-leaf mirrors and 1880s Italian chandeliers, Residence 6O embodies elegance and detail. Floor-to-ceiling windows, Paris Forino-designed interiors, and curated touches like Sheila Bridges’ Harlem Toile de Jouy wallpaper brought warmth, story, and luxury together in one unforgettable space.
All within a full-service building offering a rooftop with skyline views, a heated pool, a sauna, a library, game room, gym, and more — just a block from the best of Harlem dining, culture, and convenience.
Congrats to both parties on a great outcome.

📍 607 West 146th Street
What started as a smooth deal turned into one of those real estate stories you don’t forget.
First, the property didn’t appraise—so I built a 14-page presentation breaking down the comps and brought in a second lender. We even had the original bank approve the revised appraisal.
Then, during the final walkthrough, the buyer requested the garden-floor appliances be removed. Turns out the kitchen was built around them. What should’ve taken 30 minutes became 5+ hours of figuring it out on-site.
Oh—and there was leftover trash. So after a long day, I came back early the next morning, made sure everything was broom-swept, and brought the bins back inside before the buyer arrived for the second walkthrough.
Deals like this remind me: every closing comes with its own plot twist. Happy for my client—and grateful to see this one through the finish line.

SOLD | 100 West 88th Street, #4A 🏡🌳 | Just One Block from Central Park
Some homes just hit right — great location, great layout, and the right energy.
100 West 88th Street, #4A had that vibe from the start. A beautifully updated 2-bedroom in a pre-war elevator building, one block from Central Park — it blended charm with comfort in all the right ways.
I got lucky on this one — the first person I showed the unit to ended up being the buyer. A true cash-ready, no-nonsense deal. They had everything in place to move quickly, and it couldn’t have been a smoother process.
On the sell side, my client didn’t go far — they found something new right in the same neighborhood, which made this a full-circle kind of win.
Congrats to both sides on a great outcome.

SOLD | 126 West 132nd Street 🏡🌿 | Last Asking: $2,099,000
Sometimes a house checks every single box — updated mechanicals, new windows, a beautiful landscaped garden, even a rooftop sauna and shower — and the only missing piece is the right buyer.
This was one of those deals where patience truly mattered. We knew the property was priced right and had incredible features, but it took a little time for the right buyer to see its value and move forward.
The clients I represented here have a special connection to this home — they were the first and only people to live in it since it was built just over 20 years ago. Helping them close this chapter and step into retirement, powered by the proceeds from this sale and their smart investments, was a real honor.
Every property, like every client, has a story. Excited for what’s ahead for them — and for the new owners who will make this home their own.

What made this deal stand out was how creatively my clients had been using the home. They essentially 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱—renting out each room fully furnished while keeping the master suite for themselves to return to between travels.

Deal Story:
ROI in real estate isn't just about the dollar and cents, there's also an ROI on how your home makes you feel. Representing 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿, this sale was a win for both sides—the seller walked away with 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 $𝟳𝟬𝟬𝗞 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 than they originally paid, while the buyers secured a home that will grow their equity over time.
I was introduced to the buyers through a friend and first met them at their previous home. What stood out immediately? Their love for the arts.

Now, the walls that once held an incredible collection are ready for new masterpieces. Looking forward to seeing what kind of art will fill this space next.
