Born and raised in SoHo, Steven Leon knows first-hand how real estate trends can totally transform a neighborhood. As an agent, Steven is directly involved in the impact real estate has on the City, and more importantly, on his clients lives. In his first year with Citi Habitats, Steven received a number of recognitions in his office: Rookie of the Year, Top Producer and Top Listing Agent. He has continued to excel and expand his business by focusing on providing personalized attention and realistic expectations about market conditions. No matter what your budget is, Steven says that working with him is "like having a friend in the business."
Before becoming a professional real estate agent, Steven consistently sold family property for above asking price. When he realized that he had a knack for understanding the best ways to bolster buyers' interest, and ultimately the selling price, he decided to become an agent. His previous careers in New York City nightclubs for 10 years and high-end catering for over seven years exposed Steven to a multitude of personalities. Such exposure allows him to quickly adapt to the various people he works with on a daily basis: supers, landlords, owners, clients, etc.
Steven shares this sound advice to someone looking for a home in Manhattan: "Try to pick only one or two people to work with on your search. Running from one advertisement to another proves to be a waste of time and is extremely aggravating. Let a professional create an itinerary and show you what is on the market in one or two days as opposed to other agents who show you one apartment when they can squeeze you in. Remember, many agents consider this a numbers game, don't become just another number."
