REALTY COLLECTIVE ADDS ANOTHER BROOKLYN LEGEND!

REALTY COLLECTIVE ADDS ANOTHER BROOKLYN LEGEND

Just over a year ago, Realty Collective was thrilled to announce their acquisition of Manzione Real Estate, a well loved and respected fixture on the Columbia Waterfront and Red Hook scenes for 30 years. Frank Manzione built his stellar reputation by creating and nurturing strong client relationships and business practices. When he decided to sell the company, he was looking for someone with the same kind of drive and energy to continue and expand on what he’d already so carefully established, so he approached Victoria Hagman (co-founder and President of Realty Collective) and here they are. Wisdom & longtime connections plus a future forward, youthful vision = the perfect combination.

And the Collective is growing.

In early March, another longtime BK legend, Angela Vita, approached Frank Manzione about purchasing Vita Real Estate. It was a no-brainer to recommended Realty Collective, being happy with the smooth transition and continued success after selling and merging with Victoria and her team.

So today, they are once again, thrilled and fortunate to announce their acquisition and merger with Vita Real Estate, who brings 30 years of experience and service to Carroll Gardens. They are pleased to welcome Angela Vita to their Collective. Not only does she bring her vast wealth of experience, but they now have a new office space at 296 Smith Street (in addition to their original space with Manzione Real Estate at 223 Columbia Street).

Realty Collective is so excited to continue serving their communities and continuing their love affair with Brooklyn and spreading the word!

Who you gonna call?

This scene has always struck me as odd. I mean if I was walking by this store for rent on Union Street would I really call the broker over the owner? Why would a broker put their sign over the landlords and not ask the owner to take theirs down? What would compel me to call the broker over the landlord? Does this make the broker look bad? I mean it doesn't make them look good.
Commercial spaces are emptying out left and right in Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill and i just don't see how this kind of advertising is advantages to anyone.
