I have decided that beginning in 2019, and obviously a hair sooner, I want to start writing a bit more about things unrelated to real estate. Or maybe they will be related. We shall see. I’ve been writing about running for years; I hope that it’s inspired to get people out and exploring the myriadRead more

It is marathon season again, and I’m off running around Manhattan and beyond. This year I am running the Marine Corps Marathon on October 28th in Washington DC. I am really excited to see Our Nation’s Capitol at an 8:30/mile pace (or faster) and run my 20th marathon. I can’t believe that when I startedRead more

As many of you may know, I spend my early mornings and weekends often pounding the pavement. Not selling real estate, though, but running through every neighborhood in New York City.

I’m also having trouble letting go of double spaces at the beginning of sentences. I mean, how does one stop that habit after 25-30 yearsRead more

After a seven-month hiatus, and a month early, your favorite running broker finally was cleared by the kind folks at Hospital for Special Surgery to begin a running program! For someone accustomed to running marathons, the irony and relevance here of “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” does not escape me. Essentially, I am startingRead more

I love writing the running part of the monthly newsletter, and last month I skipped it for the first time in a year! The unfortunate truth is that I have taken some time off running as I deal with a hip issue – not exactly related to running, but I was a bit distracted, andRead more

The US Open usually means two things: first, a heat wave surely will be upon New York City, and second, summer is over.
