TLT Sale Highlight: 34 North 7th Street, PH2C - Marketing to Buyers Near and Far

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Eugene Litvak, 929 Media and Interior Designer/Property Owner Marc Blackwell, The Litvak Team produced an emotional video that engaged buyers from near and far. As fate (or marketing efforts) would have it, they launched this video globally and ended up with an offer and signed contracts with an international buyer for a record price, and a record per square foot for the building.

TLT Sale Highlight: 144 North 8th Street, 11C - Measure Twice, Cut Once - or in this case, analyze, evaluate & sell in 28 days!

She's pregnant, they're in contract to buy a townhouse in Williamsburg, and they can't sell their apartment after six months on the market. With little time left, they called us. Much like a doctor evaluating a sick patient, Eugene diagnosed the issues and prescribed the answer. We rebranded, refreshed and re-marketed the property.

The result? We're sold and closed after a short, 28 days on the market.

How did we do it? Check out Eugene's interview:

TLT Highlights: We fell in love at 150 Charles Street, M8

Sold & Closed. From a 200+ person Fall Fete, to appearing on NBC, to hosting 30+ brokers for breakfast, we generated a lot of buzz for this property. Once in contract, we navigated through a series of potentially deal-killing challenges to end up at the closing table. 150 Charles Street, developed by the Witkoff Group, is the trophy property of the West Village. In crafting this 91-unit, white glove, luxury building, CookFOX architects designed just 10 maisonette townhouses — allowing a select group of purchasers to enjoy the privacy and space of townhouse living while benefiting from the convenience of the larger building.
