Barry Silverman

You would be hard-pressed to identify a Manhattan block on which Barry Silverman has not transacted a sale. As founder in 1989 of The Silverman Group, he built a company which grew to become the premier midsize Downtown brokerage. Over the years, Barry has closed more than 2,000 sales throughout Manhattan, and has sales directed thousands more. In doing so he has established for himself a remarkable reputation for integrity and effectiveness, and is well-known throughout the industry both for his encyclopedic knowledge of the Manhattan residential marketplace and for an approach to business characterized by openness, warmth, and humor.

In addition to his appearances on HGTV’s “Selling New York,” Barry lectures on a wide variety of real estate topics, and is frequently quoted in both the local and national media. The recipient multiple times of Halstead Real Estate’s coveted "Most Transactions Closed" award, he is a practicing attorney in real estate and estate planning. A founding member and officer of the Downtown Brokers Association, he drafted the rules of ethical conduct which govern that organization's 60 member firms. It was with great pleasure that in 2003, Halstead acquired The Silverman Group.
