49 Byfield, new construction by Silver Properties and Granoff Architects, got a deal this week. It was originally listed with Sothebys for $5,895,000 in June 2016 ( the history is below). When it was cancelled in May with the 1st agent after 355 days. It was handed to another agent at a $300K discount!
The only difference that I can see in the marketing efforts, is that the first agent featured the entire property, including the lower level which has not does not have finished flooring or any features. The builder chooses to put his properties on the market with no lower level finishes, keeping this area open for negotiation.
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
