CORE Duo Singing Their Way to Success

At a past showing on East 83rd Street, Tom Postilio decided to go with his gut. The tour of the apartment was almost over and he felt the interested couple needed a final nudge. So Postilio stopped in his track and started singing Frank Sinatra’s “All the Way” – the couple’s wedding song.

What would be weird coming from any other broker worked for Postilio, who had spent years singing Sinatra on stage. “That sealed the deal,” he said.

With college and graduate degrees in real estate mushrooming across the country, more and more people are entering the field as fully trained professionals. But Tom Postilio and his partner Mickey Conlon at CORE are living proof that an unconventional background can still be a big advantage.
