In the early 1980s, I worked as a
rental agent in a small brokerage house on the Upper East Side
of New York. I learned that each broker showed only the listings
of the landlords with whom they had exclusive brokerage agreements.
I found this concept limiting and envisioned a true rental marketplace—where
properties from all landlords and apartment owners throughout
the entire city would be available and presented in one central
location, allowing visitors to gain access to the latest listings
and find their apartments in the shortest and most efficient use
of their time. This vision became my professional goal.
1984, Manhattan Apartments, Inc., was established, with
one rental listing and one agent. Today, a team of 250 professionals
covers the entire spectrum of apartments and properties for
rent and for sale throughout Manhattan and presents every type
of unit available--from furnished, short-term housing to the
complete market of rent-stabilized leases and long-term living
arrangements.
roughout the years, our goal and vision has been to provide
our clients with the full range of housing opportunities available
in New York. We had created a virtual marketplace for New York
City housing, yet my vision of an exciting "marketplace
effect" was yet to be realized. In 1996, Manhattan Apartments,
Inc., expanded into our current location at 57th Street and
Broadway—the Crossroads of the City. We now occupy four
floors of open, dynamic loft space, where message signs relay
the latest information, television monitors introduce scenes
of popular neighborhoods and residential buildings, and photo
brochures display you to apartment interiors and layouts. More
than 200 agents create a bustling atmosphere of activity, and
the open space provides an efficient format for sharing the
latest insights into the best deals in town and getting the
edge on the competition, a vital asset in Manhattan today.
nhattan Apartments, Inc., now taps into the pulse of the
entire New York City sales market, giving buyers and sellers
alike access to some of the most successful sales professionals
in the business through our new Sales Center floor.
ether you're a renter, a buyer, or a landlord, Manhattan Apartments,
Inc., stands ready to support your needs. Our Information Services
staff can tell you everything you need to know to make an intelligent
