The biggest negotiation mistake in real estate has nothing to do with price. It has everything to do with ego. In this episode, James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Lisa Lippman, Brown Harris Stevens' top-producing Manhattan broker for 11 consecutive years, to discuss why great negotiators remove their own emotions from the transaction, what luxury real estate is really like, and why human connection has become an agent's biggest advantage in the age of AI. From working alongside Barbara Corcoran to building one of Manhattan's most respected real estate businesses, Lisa shares the habits, mindset, and professionalism that have kept her at the top for more than a decade.

We often hear about the sky-high commissions, the glamorous penthouses and the thrill of closing a deal but rarely do we hear about the emotional toll, the stress and the sacrifices behind the scenes.

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Cathey Kuo, a commercial real estate broker, investor, and principal at Elite Commercial Real Estate in Las Vegas. Cathey shares how she got her start analyzing deals alongside her mother in high school, what it takes to transition from residential into commercial investing, and how she evaluates risk and opportunity in a market still navigating high office vacancy rates and shifting demand post-COVID. She also breaks down the power of 1031 exchanges as a tool for repositioning portfolios and preserving generational wealth through tax-efficient strategy.  Plus, the hosts explore the lock-in effect and how golden-era mortgage rates are keeping the housing market frozen. With a large share of homeowners holding sub-4 percent mortgages, sellers aren't listing, inventory is tight, and first-time buyers are running out of room. They dig into what it might take to finally break the gridlock.  Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.

On this episode of Closed!, recorded live at The Real Deal Forum, Lee and Mike sit down with Bess Freedman, CEO of Brown Harris Stevens, one of the most prominent privately held real estate firms in the country, to discuss one of the most contested debates in residential real estate right now: private listing networks.Bess brings decades of perspective to the conversation, from her early days as an assistant state's attorney and legal aid lawyer to leading one of New York's most storied brokerages. She breaks down exactly what private listing networks are, why she believes they hurt sellers and buyers alike, and why Brown Harris Stevens has chosen not to play the game despite having the network size to do so.She also shares her thoughts on price discovery, fiduciary duty, the states already moving to outlaw the practice, and why she thinks the whole thing is, in her words, a bunch of malarkey.If you work in residential real estate or are thinking about buying or selling a home, this one is essential listening.To learn more about Brown Harris Stevens, visit bhsusa.com, and as always, to learn more about Lee, Mike, and BFKP, visit bfkplaw.com.

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Jude Bernard, a NYC-based real estate investor, broker, and general contractor who built a significant portfolio of brownstones and rental properties across Brooklyn and Harlem. Jude shares how combining construction, brokerage, and investing gives him control over the full lifecycle of a deal, the risks and realities of operating short-term rentals in one of the most regulated cities in the country, and how value-add strategy has been central to growing his portfolio. He also opens up about the mission behind The Brooklyn Bank, his financial literacy and real estate education platform focused on helping underserved communities close the racial wealth gap through property ownership. Plus, the hosts unpack one of the biggest forces keeping housing inventory frozen: the lock-in effect. With nearly 60 percent of American homeowners holding mortgage rates under 4 percent, sellers aren't selling — and the ripple effects are pricing out first-time buyers and stalling the market. They explore what it would take to break the gridlock.   Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.

Most people who want to invest in real estate never buy a single property. Not because the opportunity is not there. Because they talk themselves out of it before they ever get started. In Episode 406 of The Build Up podcast, we sat down with Henry Washington, co-host of the BiggerPockets podcast and author who built a multi-million dollar rental portfolio starting with no savings and poor credit, to break down exactly how new investors can stop waiting and start moving.

On Season 6, Episode #227 of Boroughs and Burbs, we explore the powerful intersection of real estate and design with two leaders in their fields: Louise Phillips Forbes of Brown Harris Stevens and Dahlia Jacob of Dahlia's Day Interiors. From preparing listings to maximizing value, their collaboration shows how thoughtful design can transform a property and the outcome of a sale. We discuss how staging, renovation strategy, and aesthetic vision influence buyer perception, pricing, and speed to market. Where does design end and marketing begin? And how can agents and designers work together more effectively? Whether you're selling, buying, or advising clients, this episode reveals how great partnerships create exceptional results.

On this episode of Talking New York Real Estate, Vince sits down with Jared Antin and John Walkup to discuss the importance of framing pricing as a forward-looking strategy instead of a backward-looking valuation based on outdated comps. The difference between getting pricing right up front and chasing the market later can mean the difference between a fast, full-leverage sale or months on market with meaningful price erosion.   Filmed in Studio 1873 as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Guests: Jared Antin John Walkup   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

The New York City real estate transaction has always been complex. For a long time, ownership in real estate followed a single path—you saved; you waited, and eventually, if everything lined up, you bought. That model is breaking. Today, partnership is becoming the new path to ownership. Instead of sitting on the sidelines or stretching beyond reason, smart buyers are teaming up. Two people with $50,000 each can compete with someone bringing $100,000 to the table. Two investors with $200,000 each can step into deals that were previously out of reach. The math is simple. But execution is where most partnerships fail. Because this isn't just about capital—it's about alignment. How you think about money. How you communicate under pressure. What you actually want your life to look like. And how long you are willing to stay in the deal. That's where PairGap comes in. They don't just connect people—they structure partnerships that are built to last, using a Four Pillars framework designed to ensure compatibility where it matters most.   Filmed in Studio 1873 as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Guests: Nikki Merkerson   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

The New York City real estate transaction has always been complex—layered with regulation, personalities, and high financial stakes. But what's changing now isn't just the pace of the market—it's the infrastructure beneath it. From digital identity verification and AI-driven platforms and workflow automation, the transaction is being compressed, clarified, and, in some cases, completely redefined. Agents and clients are all being forced to adapt to a more data-driven, tech-enabled process, and expectations are rising. The question is no longer whether technology will reshape the transaction—it's who will leverage it effectively, and who will be left operating in a system that no longer exists.   Filmed in Studio 1873 as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Guests: Stephen Klym Doug Williford   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

From his start as a contractor to founding the SubTo community, Pace breaks down how subject-to deals work, the risks investors overlook, and why creative financing can open the door for people with limited capital or credit. Plus, the hosts unpack a growing market shift, the rise of all-cash buyers. With nearly one in three purchases happening without a mortgage, they explore how cash is reshaping competition, pricing, and access to homeownership and what it signals about the future of the housing market.

Two decades in the New York City real estate market teaches you one thing quickly: there is no such thing as a "normal" market—only cycles, and how well you understand them.   From boom years that rewarded speed and confidence, to downturns that demanded patience and precision, every phase reveals something different about value, leverage, and human behavior.   The agents, investors, and developers who last aren't the ones who predict the market perfectly—they're the ones who recognize patterns early, adjust faster than everyone else, and stay disciplined when the pressure builds. This is a conversation about what those cycles actually teach you—when to push, when to wait, and how to operate when the market inevitably shifts again.   Filmed in Studio 1873 as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Guests: Juliet Clapp Scott Kogos   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

Most people think the hardest part of real estate is the market, the clients, or the uncertainty. And yes, those things can be challenging. But the real pressure often comes from something quieter.   Real estate asks you to do two full-time jobs at the same time.   You're expected to transact at a high level—managing deals, deadlines, negotiations, and client expectations—while also building the business that will produce the next deal months from now.   The problem is that transacting is urgent. It demands immediate attention. Business development is important, but the payoff is delayed, so it's easy to push aside when things get busy.   Over time, you get very good at managing what's in motion, but inconsistent at creating what comes next.   And maybe part of the shift is this: what if checking in isn't about you at all? What if it's simply about staying connected?   Filmed in Studio 1873 as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Guests:   Jared Antin Molly Townsend   Sponsor:   Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Brian Burke, President and CEO of Praxis Capital and author of The Hands-Off Investor. After more than 30 years in real estate, Brian shares how he scaled from flipping single-family homes to managing over $500 million in multifamily assets, and why syndications became the key to growing while reducing day-to-day involvement. He breaks down what makes a deal trustworthy, how to evaluate sponsors, and the mindset required to invest through multiple market cycles. Plus, the hosts unpack a bold move shaking the commercial market: SL Green's $730 million office acquisition. Is this the signal that the office sector has bottomed out, or just an early bet on New York's recovery? They explore what renewed institutional confidence could mean for financing, pricing, and the future of commercial real estate.

New York City's new development market in 2026 is a mix of opportunity, caution, and hard lessons. Prices, incentives, and timelines are shifting, buyers are more selective, and developers are navigating higher costs and tighter financing. What's delivering, what's delayed, and what's still on the drawing board tells a bigger story about the future of the city's skyline — and the smart strategies buyers and brokers need today.   The takeaway? Knowledge and timing matter more than ever.  Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or simply understand the market, the key is asking the right questions, understanding risk, and staying flexible. For anyone in New York watching this space, one thing is clear: new development isn't just about luxury towers and glossy brochures — it's about real numbers, real risk, and real opportunity.   Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Guests: Stephen Kliegerman Peter Graubard   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com   Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

Today, Noah and John sit down with Louise Phillips Forbes of Brown Harris Stevens, a 35-year NYC real estate veteran with more than $6 billion in closed sales, to break down what's really happening in the Manhattan housing market right now. Louise explains why new developments are selling faster than they can be built, highlights massive luxury contract activity across Manhattan, and introduces the idea of a “freeze-to-flow” market as New York real estate finally thaws after years of post-COVID uncertainty. The conversation dives into the city's ongoing inventory shortage, the ripple effects of the 2019 rent laws on housing supply, and the frustration many buyers are feeling as competition heats up again. Louise also shares her playbook for navigating today's market — from pricing strategies and open house tactics to how strong broker relationships can make or break deals. If you want to understand where the NYC real estate market is heading — and how top brokers are operating in today's environment — this episode is packed with insights. Topics in this episode: • The “freeze to flow” shift in the Manhattan real estate market • Why new developments are selling so quickly • NYC's inventory shortage and missing housing supply • How the 2019 rent laws changed conversions • Why open house traffic is surging again • How top brokers price listings in a competitive market • Why relationships still win deals in real estate Subscribe for more Talking Manhattan conversations with top agents, developers, and industry experts. ✅ Louise Phillips Forbes Team Page https://louisephillipsforbes.com/ ✅ Louise's Page at Brown Harris Stevens https://www.bhsusa.com/agents/louise-phillips-forbes ✅ Connect with Louise on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-phillips-forbes-0844905/ ✅ Follow Louise on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weze_sez/ https://www.instagram.com/louisephillipsforbesteam =============== ✅ Stay Connected With Us:

For years, price per square foot was the headline number. It was clean, comparable, and easy to communicate. But this market is demanding a more sophisticated lens. Carrying costs are no longer background noise; they are central to valuation, liquidity and risk. Buyers are underwriting monthly burn with the same intensity they once reserved for purchase price.    Smart buyers are analyzing the total cost of ownership over time. Smart sellers understand that elevated monthlies shrink the buyer pool. And smart brokers are reframing value  through the lens of long-term sustainability, not just headline pricing.   Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Guests: Ben Willig Anna Kahn Jill Preschel   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166 Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida. https://bhsusa.com/

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Andrew Freed, a Massachusetts-based real estate investor and licensed agent who turned a single condo into a growing multifamily portfolio. Andrew breaks down how leveraging HELOCs, refinancing, and capital recycling helped him acquire properties faster than traditional saving ever could—and why building systems and delegating early was the key to scaling without burnout. Plus, the hosts unpack a major shift reshaping New York City: the surge in office-to-residential conversions. Are these projects the solution to the housing shortage, or just luxury units in disguise? They explore how adaptive reuse could redefine neighborhoods—and what it means for the future of urban living.

As we move into 2026, remember this—goals measure outcomes. Standards determine outcomes. If you raise your standards, your performance has to follow. If you leave them vague, your results will be unpredictable. So before this year starts asking more of you, decide who you are going to be in your business. Not what you hope to achieve. How you intend to operate. Because when standards are clear, success stops feeling accidental. It becomes inevitable. And always remember to be memorable every day.   Guests: Jared Antin Teresa Stephenson   Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.    Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | roadwaymoving.com   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/

On this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what experienced, high-producing agents are actually looking for when choosing — or leaving — a brokerage. From mentorship and deal support to branding power and operational infrastructure, we'll explore what separates firms that simply recruit from those that genuinely retain and grow top talent.

Buying property in NYC is about far more than the purchase price. Today, we are unpacking the true cost of owning in NYC—the expenses that often surprise buyers long after the closing table.   From monthly carrying costs and common charges to unexpected assessments, property taxes, and rising insurance premiums, ownership in this market comes with layers of financial responsibility that demand careful planning. Whether you're considering a co-op, condo, or townhouse, understanding these costs upfront can mean the difference between a comfortable ownership experience and a financial strain.    This conversation is about  clarity, preparedness  and making smarter, more informed decisions in one of the most complex real estate markets in the world.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc

New York City's rental market continues to evolve at a rapid pace, shaped by affordability pressures, shifting demand across boroughs, tighter inventory, and a growing emphasis on transparency and compliance. Renters today are navigating higher expectations from landlords, more complex application requirements and increasing competition for well-priced apartments while agents are balancing speed, security and accuracy in every transaction.    At the same time, technology is stepping in to streamline one of the most frustrating parts of the process: verification and documentation. Platforms like vryfID are changing how identity checks, financial verification, and application screenings are handled, helping reduce fraud, accelerate approvals, and create a  smoother, more secure experience for renters, landlords, and brokers alike. Today we're taking a closer look at where the NYC rental market stands right now and how smart tech solutions are reshaping the way deals get done.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc

In New York City real estate, few decisions generate more confusion or more debate than the choice between a condo and a co-op. On paper, the differences seem straightforward. In reality, buyers quickly discover that this decision touches everything from lifestyle and financing to governance, resale flexibility, and long-term value.   Condos offer autonomy, liquidity, and fewer restrictions, but often at a premium. Co-ops, which still dominate much of the city's housing stock, can provide more space and value, yet come with board scrutiny, financial disclosures, and rules that can surprise even seasoned buyers.   So why, in 2026, are buyers still struggling with this choice? Is it about control versus community? Flexibility versus stability? Or simply understanding how these two ownership models actually work in today's market?   Today, we're breaking down the real-world trade-offs between condos and co-ops in New York City—what buyers need to know, what they often misunderstand, and how to make the right decision for their goals, not just their budget.   Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.   Subscribe: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166   Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco   Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.   https://bhsusa.com/   #realestatebuyers #nycrealestate #realestate #vincerocco #TNYRE #theeverset #roadwaymoving #newyorkrealestate #nyc.
