Before joining the Halstead team, he was the Founder and President of Elevated Realty LLC, a full-service boutique Manhattan residential real estate brokerage. He originally began his career as a lawyer at an AMLaw 100 law firm where he counseled midsize to large corporate clients in business transactions. Rory works with sellers, buyers and landlords and is one of less than 1% of Manhattan agents with the Certified Buyer Designation training.

He encourages all agents to build relationships and connections with other people across the country in the real estate industry. Not only will you continue to learn and grow, but you can build leads that way as well. When agents consistently reach out to each and share knowledge and wisdom about the industry, it keeps the standards for real estate high. The real estate business would be nothing without its ethical and professional agents working hard for their clients, and it’s important they all stick together and not try so hard to compete. > Read show notes > Subscribe on iTunes
