As a native New Yorker, Brian is very familiar with the amazingly distinct areas of Manhattan. He has been an active real estate investor since 2004 and has been representing clients as a luxury residential specialist since 2008. His tenacity, marketing prowess and in-depth real estate knowledge has lead Brian to become one of Rutenberg’s top producing agents in a very short time. Brian has recently been breaking price per square foot records in the Tribeca/Battery Park area and has been featured as a real estate expert on New York 1 and LXTV’s Price Fix.
Prior to joining Rutenberg Realty, Brian utilized his business economics and finance degree working for 12+ years as an institutional bond trader for two large prestigious Wall Street firms. While working in finance, Brian developed his passion for real estate. He now focuses the skills he learned on Wall St. to assist his clients in achieving their goals. Brian excels at negotiating with sellers and assisting buyers in analyzing a specific market and isolating where the value is. He has developed a reputation as an intelligent, honest and hardworking real estate professional.
Whether working with buyers or sellers, Brian employs both strategic and creative solutions to meeting clients’ needs, ensuring the best possible results. Brian provides full-service assistance from providing pricing analysis, negotiating terms, guidance through the mortgage and board approval process to even locating reliable attorneys and/or contractors.
Brian’s clients, whether international or from the US, get the best of all worlds when hiring him to represent their real estate interests. He brings his finance background, real estate investing knowledge and his experience as a former Board President of a NYC Cooperative to the table with every deal. Brian currently resides in North Battery Park with his wife and daughter. When not working (which is rare) Brian enjoys traveling, sailing, experiencing new cultures and good rounds of golf.
