CORE Names New Chelsea Sales Chief in Advance of UES Office Opening
The Real Deal

The exciting news of CORE’s new Director of Sales for the Chelsea office, Ryan Fitzpatrick, spread quickly. Ryan commented, “This position is a unique opportunity for me in that it marries my experience in real estate sales with my prior tenure in the corporate world overseeing a team in financial services.”

(more…)

As a five-year veteran of the firm, I thought I knew CORE well. Well, after just one day as Director Sales for CORE’s Chelsea office,  have realized that there is a lot more to this company than meets the eye – even through the jaded eye of an insider!  I already feel enmeshed in the fabric of CORE in a new way and I am amazed by the talent here, both in the ranks of agents and the management team. I suppose I should have known this all along, but there is something about making the change that has opened – or perhaps reopened – my eyes to the depth of the real estate knowledge and expertise that we have in this ’boutique’-scale company. As we move forward, I hope to add value to our operations, bringing my own real-world experience as a practitioner to support our clients, the office and our team. I’m about to begin a “listening tour” to meet with all of my agents to understand and seek ways to add value to their approach to building and maintaining their business. I look forward to the challenge and to reporting back with tangible results.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has recently been named Director of Sales for CORE’s Chelsea office where he will oversee the brokerage’s agents and re-sale business out of this location as well as be responsible for recruiting new agents to the firm.

The success of a business depends primarily on the people who run it. And in the case of real estate sales, even more so, because it is such a service-oriented business with many intangibles. The culture of a company starts at the top and then works its way through the people who make up the fabric of the brand. One of the most important positions in any brokerage company is the person who mentors and guides the agents. This person has to be well-respected, have a high level of integrity synonymous with the brand, understand the business model with the ability to navigate the intricacies of any deal. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a person who exemplifies all of these attributes and is an ambassador of our CORE brand and culture. As mentioned in The Real Deal, today, he is stepping into his new role as Director of Sales for our Chelsea office and this will mark a significant step in our commitment to build our company as the leader in the industry.

Shaun Osher is the CEO and Founder of CORE. Learn more about Ryan in his “TEN” interview here.

This gorgeous home offers 3,100-square feet of superbly designed and highly functional space accented by soaring ceiling heights and the distinctive cast-iron arched windows of the famed Tiffany building on Union Square. With all the bells and whistles one could possibly want included in this luxury property, what’s most unique is that there is an apartment within this unique home, located just off the entry gallery. The spacious and private fourth bedroom is outfitted with a full kitchen, bathroom and laundry, as well as a full-sized wine cooler, offering enhanced flexibility as a self-contained guest suite or staff quarters within the privacy of the larger home.

Midtown has traditionally been known as a business and tourism hub, a place where you were more likely to pass through than live.

The area just south of Central Park has seen a lot of change in the past few years with the arrival of new skyscrapers, but one thing it is not known for is apartment buildings with true architectural pedigree. The Windsor Park, a newly converted condominium originally designed in 1929 by the legendary Rosario Candela, with renovations by Gwathmey Siegel and Associates, is the exception. Steps from Central Park, Carnegie Hall and the “Plaza District” and its fantastic retail options, this two bedroom apartment is classic while still being contemporary.
