Discussion about
As long as I can remember, Cathy Blau has lived and worked Lincoln Towers and so has M. Bassett, in 1991 B-way. They are the "de-facto" brokers in that buildings and seem none too pleased about other brokers in "their" buildings. Likewise, Mike Reed owns 1965 B'way. If I remember correctly his older "partner" sort of let him in on the building and then something nefarious happened and the older... [more]

Likewise, Mike Reed owns 1965 B'way. If I remember correctly his older "partner" sort of let him in on the building and then something nefarious happened and the older broker/partner disappeared and now Mike Reed uses his modeling experience to earn a living as a broker :)
FYI... their MO is to have you wait downstairs and they'll come and collect you...at which point they let you know "they know the building" by making you stand there while they try to make small talk to anyone who walks into and out of the building... do you people think I'm an idiot?
Anyway, just wondering if other brokers are "angry" that you have to work with "certain" brokers in buildings?
One final thing, it's fair game when you put your mug shot up on a 60 foot screen and delay my Happy Feet screening to tell me about your RE Broker expertise...
Gonna to slosh in the muck and get a beer! Ahhhh the beauty of NYC when 95% of people are indoors!

Whoa!... I'm the angry one.... take the green ones... it calms you down.
Kittie.. .the other thing that I hate is "how much can you afford" ... uhhhhhh I'm here b/c the price you listed was within my budget and what I want to spend.... affording something and the willingness to pay for it are completely different. Actually there's more... "what do you do for a living" and no matter what you say.... the broker has a cousin/father/brother/aunt that does that. Cathy Blau was like yeah I got a doctor cousin in Cornell... blah blah blah... and I got a banker cousin in Goldman blah blah blah.... next time I'm gonna say a porn star and I'm really big in japan... but I'm sure Cathy would be like my son makes adult films in Cali.. :)
