01x06 - Crazy Promise

Post by bunniefuu »

I don't know if you can hear me ♪

All I know is that you fear me ♪

When I'm lying waiting here for you ♪

In the dark ♪

Thank you very much, man.

I appreciate it.

All right, it's all right.

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

Wake up ♪

-What are we doin' here?

-Welcome to One Park Row.

-I wanna show it to you.

-Yeah.

-You know this is my neighborhood, right?

-Yes, I do.

- You know this is my hood.

- Yes.

There's 64 units. Every floor has a view.

It's pretty incredible.

Uh-huh.

This

When you're a broker

in New York City this is what you want.

Yeah.

You wanna be able

to have relationships with architects,

general contractors,

interior designers, developers.

-So they look to you and they trust you.

-Yeah.

-It's about trust.

-Mm-hmm.

In this city, in this business,

you wanna have buildings like this,

which is the whole reason

that I brought you on.

Yeah.

But if you don't act professional,

and if you make podcasts

in my podcast studio that I pay for,

that's there for you to get business,

to do more sales,

and if you use them to bad-mouth

and gossip about other agents,

not even at other companies

-I

-I I would, like

Five percent of me

would probably understand

if you did it and you were pissed off

at an agent that screwed you on a deal.

-But this is in your protection

-But 95% of me don't understand

-No, no. Wait. Stop, stop.

-It kind of was.

-Stop, stop, stop. It doesn't matter.

-Okay.

You don't go in public,

and you don't bad-mouth other agents.

You don't use company resources

and talk sh*t about other agents.

I don't care what you think about them

or what they think about you.

You either hold yourself

to a higher standard at this company

or go start your own f*cking company.

There's plenty of other brokerages

who don't care about professionalism,

about ethics, about sales.

-They don't care.

-Yeah.

This company's very, very, very different.

You understand?

You spend so much of your time

trying to get noticed

instead of spending your time

trying to be great.

If you spent half your time

just trying to be great,

you'd be so great,

everyone would have to notice you.

Any time you associate yourself

with any negativity,

it is a negative reflection on you.

And because I allow you to work with me,

it is then a negative reflection on me

and a negative reflection

on the whole company.

You need to take that podcast down

everywhere you that have.

-I took care of it on our side.

-Yeah.

But you're gonna apologize to Savannah.

If you don't, you're gonna have

whatever kind of career you want,

but it's not gonna be with me.

Do you understand?

-I will.

-All right, I'm out.

Tell me, where you gonna run to? ♪

Where you gonna hide? ♪

Come on, tell me, homie

Where you gonna run to? ♪

This day was a little rough.

Thank you so much

for sitting down with me to talk.

Um this week has been

very, very heavy for me,

um, and I'm sure for you as well.

Jonathan and I really wanted

to create a podcast, right?

But I think it catapulted into something

that I didn't really want it to be, um

when we started conversations

about Savannah.

And

that's not what I wanted to do.

But when you're, like,

in the thick of it all, you sometimes

sometimes get out of line.

I felt like I wanna take responsibility.

I shouldn't have said

and continued the conversation.

I should have stopped it.

But we live and we learn

through that experience.

I shouldn't have talked poorly

about anybody.

-Good thing to learn.

-Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I think you know, he was clearly

the instigator in that moment.

It was stupid.

More importantly than anything,

I made it pretty clear

I'm not going to allow anyone

to tarnish the company, tarnish the brand,

and we must protect this house.

- 100%.

- Right?

We're not messing around.

This isn't a joke.

-This isn't a daycare.

-Yeah.

Every agent here should know at all times

that if you're a great person,

if you're hustling, hardworking,

and you sell a lot of real estate

- Yeah.

- You get to stay here.

-If you don't, you don't get to stay here.

-Yeah.

And there's plenty of firms to go to

if you wanna coast or be an as*h*le.

-Mm-hmm. Mmm.

-There's a lot. Go there, not here.

Well, I'm sorry.

-Listen, onward and forward.

-Yeah.

-We took care of it.

-Yeah.

Moving on. I don't wanna hear about this

stupid podcast for the rest of my life.

- Yeah!

- Let's focus on selling.

-Let's focus on big things, right?

-Yes.

-Okay?

-Yes.

-Good? Go sell things.

-Yes. Perfect.

-Okay, thanks, Ryan.

-Of course.

Appreciate it.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

Anyone else out here I need to

need to yell at or lecture? Okay.

This masterpiece in Tribeca

is the most impressive,

panty-dropping, jaw-dropping property

that one could ever imagine.

The building was originally built in 1881.

Gorgeous ornate cast-iron facade.

And the penthouse

is basically new construction

on top of that existing building.

Architecturally, like,

it doesn't exist in New York City.

It just doesn't.

Hello, hello!

- Hello.

- How are you?

-How are you?

-Good. Mwah! Hey, guys.

Good to see you.

- Welcome back to the cast-iron house.

- How are you?

I'm inviting a few exclusive top brokers

to give them a preview of this

before we hit the market.

- Wow.

- This is amazing.

And they have done business

in this building.

So if anyone has a buyer for this,

it's them.

-Wow, this is amazing.

-So, welcome in.

- Look at the light.

- I know.

So, upon entry,

you're obviously welcomed

into a gracious foyer,

which flows into the open concept

living room, dining room, kitchen.

- This room is incredible.

- I know.

It's amazing.

This is a Bianco Oro marble countertop,

imported from Italy.

- It's beautiful.

- Yes.

You have a suite

of Gaggenau appliances.

Really nice.

So, three of the four bedrooms

are upstairs.

The primary is open to below,

so you have

these sliding glass frosted panels.

- Wow. Fun if you're entertaining.

- Wow.

Yeah, this is kind of, like, DJ vibes

up here, you know what I mean?

Like, telling everyone to be quiet

because you have to go to bed.

I'm only here for the party ♪

I love the finishes they chose.

- Very light and clean and neutral.

- Yes. And chic.

- Yeah. The blond floors.

- Very chic.

Honestly, very soothing.

Just such a crazy space.

And then something very special

about this home that I wanna show you.

- I'm only here for the party ♪

- Exterior square footage 1,510.

This is very like Miami, Malibu

- I feel like I'm in Miami right now!

- In New York City!

- You feel the air

- Not something you see often here.

Listing a property this unique is amazing

because it's literally one of a kind.

It's really special.

This is the ultimate

entertaining apartment.

However, it's so specific

that not everybody

wants a Malibu beach house

in the middle of Manhattan.

And that's fine,

because everybody can't have it.

-Hey ♪

-I'm only here for the party ♪

We're off-market now.

We are likely going to be listing

at $12 million.

You need to get this below 12 million.

So, 11 million

- 750

- 750

- 11.9

- 11.795

I mean

I just feel like penthouses in Tribeca

of this size

are not necessarily of this caliber.

- Yeah.

- Right.

This doesn't even compare

to the comps in the neighborhood. Right?

Like, this is like

The architect is a Pritzker Prize-winning

architect, Shigeru Ban,

a very famous Japanese architect

who's only ever done

one other building in New York.

-Very unique.

-Very unique. Very special property.

It's hard to comp.

You also have the outdoor space.

I'm trying to think of another

cast-iron building that has this.

-I cannot think of one.

-There's nothing.

My goal is to sell this

for a record-breaking price

and make a name for myself

in this neighborhood.

I'm sick of everyone thinking

that I'm Ryan's old assistant.

I want them to think

I'm the king of Tribeca.

-Thanks for bringing us in.

-A second time.

- Thank you for coming.

- Yeah. I really appreciate it.

We want to sell this penthouse.

What's up, bro? How you doin'?

Let's sell

Central Park Tower.

I've got a meeting with Ryan,

going over the penthouse.

Do you have any updates on anybody?

All right. All right.

I'll let you go. Thanks.

- Hi. How are you?

- Oh, look.

- Hey, you.

- Hello!

Hey.

How's it all been going?

I don't wanna reveal

who I'm bringing.

- You have the buyer?

- I don't know. Do you have the buyer?

- All right, all right.

- What's up?

- Hello. Good to see you.

- Hi.

- You brought snacks.

- What is that?

-Hard-boiled eggs.

-Breaking fast

- Oh gosh.

- Now.

How many hours do you go without eating?

- This has been two days.

- Why are you doing this?

-Somebody go pick him up a steak.

-Oh my gosh. You need food?

So

Central Park Tower. The penthouse.

Who's gonna get $10 million? Tell me.

I'd like to get it.

I'm very, very positive

that I will bring somethin' pretty soon.

Do you have a buyer,

or have you just been making calls?

I've been making calls.

Literally just dialin', dialin', dialin'.

We've been working incredibly hard

to sell the penthouse

at Central Park Tower.

Like, pulling out all the stops.

But now, I only have one month left

on our exclusive listing agreement.

I have a meeting

with our developer this week,

so I'm meeting with my team now

to get updates.

Do you have a buyer?

I've been working on my personal network.

But I've been working a lot on this

penthouse I'm selling in West Chelsea.

And this buyer

is taking up a lot of my time.

So I wanna close this $50 million thing

before I move on to yours.

- My God, priorities. You're k*lling me.

- Yes. Sorry.

Let me get this signed first.

Jess, what are your updates?

- I have a girl I went to uni with.

- Okay.

She works for a very high net worth family

based out of the Far East.

She came into town. She loved it.

There are also still apartments

available in the building,

if they wanted to buy ones for the staff.

Yeah, I was about to I was gonna

ask about the staff accommodation.

She took some videos for them.

'Cause of the time difference,

she couldn't FaceTime them or anything,

but she thinks

it could be perfect for them.

So when they come to town,

which could be in two weeks,

could be in six months

Their calendar changes on a dime,

which I'm sure you're used to.

-So we'll see what the family say.

-Yeah.

Listen, good.

And it's not just about them.

It's also them and who they know.

-Of course.

-Who are they sharing things to?

-What about you?

-There's a lot goin' on.

We've been pounding the phones.

I have two very interested parties

right now.

They're gonna be in town

at the end of the month as well.

Maybe we'll piggyback and do the showing

together. I don't know.

We need to be getting people

through the space. What about you?

My brother-in-law, as you know,

he sells the trophy towers in Manhattan.

He has access

to international billionaires.

- So I have a meeting with him.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

This is incredibly, incredibly serious.

Does anyone actually have a buyer?

Do we have personal networks

that can afford it? Yes.

Have we been sending it? Yes.

Are they going to buy Central Park Tower?

We don't know.

- Hmm.

- Hmm.

With all the talent at this table,

I am severely disappointed.

Like, they all say they have leads.

They all say they're doing this.

But I don't see an offer from anybody.

There is a buyer for this penthouse.

We have to think outside the box.

Otherwise, I gotta sit

in front of Joaquin at Extell,

and I've gotta say to him,

"I brought in the best of the best agents

that I have at SERHANT."

"So sorry, we can't get it done."

There is no world

in which I lose this listing.

- Right.

- Okay?

All the assets are there.

We have to sell it.

Otherwise, we're just like

every other real estate broker

who's just a professional tour guide.

So don't let me down. You understand?

- Absolutely.

- Yeah.

I have to go. Thanks.

- Okay.

- Thanks, Ryan.

I am so excited.

Ari Goldstein,

the developer of Brooklyn Point,

brought me on the sales team

to have me help

close the last 115 units of the building.

This is my first big shot

at selling new development,

so I'm bringing only my top buyers.

- Welcome!

- Oh, I love this!

- Beautiful.

- Isn't it beautiful?

-Welcome to Brooklyn Point.

-Thank you.

-Your new home.

-I love

Lu-Shawn is very much like

the First Lady of Brooklyn.

She's a huge philanthropist.

She raises so much money

for so many amazing organizations.

I'm envisioning this to be

your version of an empty nest.

It's private. It's luxury.

It's all the things you are.

You'll love it.

-Okay. My new home. Yes.

-And your new home.

-Put it in the universe.

-Manifestation.

Isn't that what we're doing this year?

-That's right. That's right.

-Of your new home. Yes.

She is becoming an empty nester.

I thought of Brooklyn Point

because all the amenities in the building

would be a perfect fit for her.

She works out.

She's really into fitness and wellness.

And I thought that if I could just

at least get her into the building,

I figured I could probably close the deal.

- Lucy. I'm home!

- This is home!

Oh wow!

First of all, get into the view.

- When I say I know you

- Are we still in Brooklyn?

- Your view is all of Manhattan.

- Oh, nice.

- You don't feel like you're in Brooklyn.

- Oh my goodness. Wow.

What I love about this, Lu-Shawn,

is, like, all this is going on around you

- Yeah.

- But look how quiet and peaceful it is.

- I love it. Nice.

- Yeah.

- This is the primary bathroom.

- This is really nice.

- Yeah.

- Oh, look at these finishes.

- Yes, this is

- Fancy.

They're custom satin copper.

This comes also in a brushed nickel,

but this is the one I knew you'd like.

I love this one.

And enough for two people.

- You never know!

- Absolutely. Definitely!

- Nice.

- This is your bedroom.

- Wow. And the view!

- Yes!

I'm picturing this

as a boudoir dressing room.

Wow.

You get natural light coming in

at all times.

- That's the best way to do your makeup.

- I like it.

You have a third bedroom.

- I know you love it.

- This could be my closet.

This could absolutely be your closet.

- Both of them could be, right?

- Listen

This is the last trick in my hat.

Oh, this is it.

Your second pool.

- And your best view.

- Yes. Wow!

- This is amazing.

- Isn't it great?

Oh, I love it.

-We're on top of the world!

-We literally are!

- It's where I see you.

- Nice.

When I toured, I was like,

"Lu-Shawn needs to live here."

- Picture this, less wind on a summer day.

- Less wind.

I can imagine.

-I can see myself here with a blue drink.

-Yes!

-Yes. Absolutely.

-Luxuriating.

-Overlooking Manhattan.

-Grab a bottle from your wine storage.

-Oh, I love it. I love it.

-Isn't it amazing?

My specific pressure is knowing that Ari

and Ryan are watching my every step

because they "gave you a chance, girl."

I just really wanna hit the ground running

and get a deal done.

It just takes one,

and then things start to roll.

Listen, let's talk.

Okay! I knew this would do it, though.

I know. I love it. I love it.

- Hi, welcome in.

- Hi.

Table pour deux.

Oui, oui.

- There you are, my dear.

- Very Instagrammable view.

-I like this table.

-I'll look out for those photos.

Cheers to you.

- Hi, hello.

- Hi!

So here I have sparkling and still.

Would you prefer still or sparkling?

I'll do sparkling. You can just

leave them both on the table, please.

- You got it.

- Thank you.

- Hi, love. How are you?

- Hi!

-I'm good. Your hair looks amazing.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-This humidity is just k*lling her.

-She looks good. Be confident!

-Thanks. So does yours.

-Totally.

-I didn't know which you wanted.

So I got both sparkling and still.

Thanks!

-I didn't order yet, but I figured

-Okay.

-I feel like you're, like, a matcha girl.

-I am!

-How'd you guess?

-I don't know!

I just feel like

you're very, like holistic.

-I have good read on people normally.

-Well, you have a good gut.

I thought it was nice

for Jade to reach out to get lunch,

but I don't really know her that well.

All I know is what I've heard from Chloe,

which is not good.

So I'm a little scared.

-Just place this guy right here.

-Oh, that's so pretty!

Thank you.

I feel like last time, at Jardim,

there was a lot going on.

-Little bit, yeah.

-And obviously, the podcast.

-Yeah.

-So I just wanted to check in with you.

-And be like, "Hey, like are you okay?"

-Thank you.

I went back home that night

and watched the rest of it,

and I knew that,

you know, you were mentioned too.

-I was just like, "This is so ridiculous."

-But, like, Savannah, it was bullying.

Like, you were bullied,

and, like, that's not okay.

-Like, that is not okay.

-It's not.

I was like, "I don't I don't care."

I was like, "I I have been

talked about my entire life."

So when I see

someone like Jonathan tearing down

a woman at his company

It's also the fact

that I'm still fairly new to the company,

and I'm trying so, so hard.

-And your reputation is everything.

-Yeah.

And for him and Jessica to do that

when I'm just trying to do my best,

it's just really it's really frustrating.

-Yeah. It's okay.

-And it's

Look, listen.

You need to let what they say fuel you.

People come to New York,

it is a dog-eat-dog world.

- My first year was tough.

- Here in the city?

Oh my God, it was the worst.

And honestly, I was on one

of the biggest buildings in New York.

That's how I met Chloe. She was

I was gonna ask you how you two met,

'cause now I'm I'm working with her.

Are you happy?

I'm excited to see where it will end up.

Honestly, I think that's

that's awesome. Look.

Love her, but she's really good

at taking credit for other people's work.

Okay.

'Cause y'all were, like, best friends.

So what happened?

Um

I'm going through

the hardest time of my life.

She just started being a b*tch to me.

Like, she was, like, really bitchy.

Chloe makes everything

about herself.

She claims that the reason

that I'm at SERHANT.

is not because of

the $46 million deal that I brought in,

but because of her.

She found a way to make

my husband cheating on me about her.

And not only that,

I go to Jardim just to support her,

and she kicks me out.

How psychotic and unprofessional is that?

If you think the backstabbing

from Jessica is bad,

keep your eye out.

When somebody kicks you when you're down,

like, that's not love.

I want nothing to do with it.

Plus, she wears Zara.

A huge part

of SERHANT.'s success so far

is because we sell

large new construction buildings.

That's the be all, end all,

because you wanna sign

one listing agreement

for $300 million, right?

For 171 units.

But the developers of the Huron

took a chance on us,

even though

we're a brand-new real estate agency,

because I might have made a

crazy promise.

Okay, hey, everybody.

Hello, hello, hello!

Thank you. Everyone come together,

and I'll explain what we're doin'.

So, welcome to the Huron.

We have a significant amount of pressure

to sell the units in this building

as fast as possible.

And it's a little bit hard,

because the building's not done.

If I have a shot at even competing

with other brokerages that have been

around for hundreds of years,

then I have to offer developers something

that these other brokerages can't.

In full transparency,

we have to cross

$100 million in presale contracts

before the model unit is done,

or they take the building away.

So because we have so many agents at

the company who speak different languages,

from all around the world,

we're gonna create a significant amount

of foreign language assets

that we're going to

then position completely globally.

So we can go after

everyone in Italy, right?

Across the Middle East, France,

Israel, Ukraine, Poland.

Where are we?

Across India, Russia, Germany. How would

you say "fitness center" in German?

Uh Fitnesscenter.

-Perfect!

-Fitnesscenter? I could've done this!

I don't need you guys!

I could've done this.

All I gotta do is do the accent.

Sell it. Just sell it all.

- Um who wants to start out here?

- Jessica.

- No! Why me?

- You're the

- No!

- Okay.

I'm thrilled to have

the opportunity today to be at Huron.

I haven't had a great couple of days.

This podcast thing

blew out of proportion for no reason,

'cause that's not what I wanted to do.

I don't wanna, like, create the drama,

unnecessary drama.

That's not who I am.

I want Ryan to just see the real me,

selling real estate, doing real estate,

living real estate, breathing real estate.

So the Huron is

the perfect property for me to sell.

I grew up here, so I know every street,

every square inch of this area.

Greenpoint used to be

a very, very Polish community.

And I speak Polish,

so let's close some deals.

If you go to the link, you'll be able

to see all of the units and floor plans.

-Okay, we'll wrap Hey.

-What's going on?

-Oh, hey!

-Nice to see you. Shakir, my buyer.

- How are you?

- Good.

-How are you?

-Sorry. A little chaos.

-We just launched. It's nuts.

-Nice. Congrats.

Yeah, so I guess

There's a lot happening,

but I guess we can start here.

You walked through construction.

What you came through was the garage.

You have anywhere from studios

to four bedrooms.

And your price point, roughly?

A couple of million.

- Couple million?

- Yeah.

-Maybe there's some more million?

-Yeah. We can stretch.

-Yeah?

-Okay. Okay!

- He can find some.

- Okay, good.

- All right. Let's do it?

- Great. Follow me.

This unit is

just over three million.

It's just under 1,400 square feet,

three bedroom, two full bathrooms.

Nice high ceilings.

You have massive Midtown views.

Kitchen here.

Nice, open, great breakfast bar space.

Dining room here. Big open living space.

And then you've got the en suite primary.

- And then the secondary is in the hallway.

- Mm-hmm.

- Amazing.

- Okay.

-Yeah.

-Perfect.

- Selling fast. Selling fast.

- Yeah.

- I love the view. For sure. Yeah.

- Yeah.

I apologize. There's really

nothing else I can show you.

-Basically, what he's saying is

-That he loves it.

He loves it,

but he can't really visualize, honestly.

Like there's not

You know, the finishes aren't in,

the kitchens aren't in.

-Yes. I know.

-There's no furniture. No staging.

So he's having kind of that mental hurdle.

Totally understand.

Here's what I can say.

By the time we get a model unit,

the prices will be more expensive.

This is one of the biggest

new development projects

we've done as a company.

I'll send you all the renderings,

the floor plans.

- Perfect.

- Virtual tours, animations, and videos.

If I don't succeed here,

if our agents

who are on-site don't succeed,

my entire new development team,

if we can't pull this off, we get fired.

Then the press isn't,

"SERHANT. did $90 million in presales."

No, it's, "SERHANT. fired."

No one's gonna care

that the building wasn't even built.

No pressure, but just It's moving fast.

So this is when you get the best deal.

- I'll send everything.

- We'll talk.

- Talk to the wife and get back to you.

- Appreciate it. Thanks for coming.

Oh my God.

- Give me a break.

- How you doing?

- A cup of coffee, please.

- Of course.

Thank you.

You have to be kidding me.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

Savannah.

How are you doing?

Is it okay if I take a seat?

Um, I'm a little busy.

I have something

I am afraid I have to tell you.

First and foremost, I wanna say

that I apologize for the podcast.

Mm-hmm.

Did you learn a lesson from posting it?

I think that there was a lesson

that needed to be learned

that I think

that's still probably not learned,

even by the way you're behaving right now.

-I'm not sure

-The lesson that you learned.

The lesson I've learned

has been learned a long time ago.

-Okay, so you don't give a sh*t right now.

-Um

I'm here to apologize

because Ryan told me to.

Um But I do think

there's a way to go around business

that that you need to

think about, you know.

And that podcast

might've been a little heated,

you know, but I don't think

Um, you don't blame an agency.

I've never blamed our agency for anything.

You did, though.

You said,

"SERHANT.'s not giving me listings."

"Why am I not getting stuff?"

You're not getting stuff

because you can't handle stuff.

I am getting house leads.

You're getting house leads now

because you made a fuss of it.

-You made a big fuss about it. Agree?

-You

-Do you not have better

-What is the only lead?

Is the house lead the only lead?

No, I have six clients right now

that I'm trying to pay attention to.

-Okay.

-And you're distracting me.

Gotcha. Well, I think this was, uh,

from my end, an apology.

I don't wanna hurt the company.

I don't wanna hurt Ryan.

So if it looked bad on the company,

I apologize.

-If anything, you looked bad.

-Okay.

Well, I apologize

for me looking bad on that.

And, um, I hope that, you know,

you learned a lesson from it.

And, um, you have a great day, okay?

- Okay.

- That's that's that.

-Cheers.

-Please get out of my face.

Sorry.

Welcome, Genesis.

Wow!

This is the pinnacle

of New York City living.

I love it, I love it, I love it.

- Is this not insane?

- This is amazing.

Ryan's under a lot of pressure to sell

the penthouse at Central Park Tower.

Let me just break down

what's happening.

Talk to me.

There's no way in hell

I'm gonna disappoint him.

There's also no way

that I'm gonna let somebody else get

a $10 million commission.

We have four of

my most connected connectors downstairs.

Bring them upstairs,

and we're going to pitch them

on helping us find the buyer.

-Let's do it.

-All right, let's go.

In a sale like Central Park Tower,

you need all the resources

that you can get.

Gabriel started an international

private security business

for ultra high net worth individuals.

Liv's great.

She started her career many years ago

as a stylist

for billionaires and celebrities.

Mark is a financial commentator,

and his firm has over two billion

in assets under management.

Franck is an international art dealer.

He has contacts

to the wealthiest people in the world,

and he is at the top of my connector list.

That's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

- Hey, Liv! What's up, girl?

- Hi! How you doing?

How are you? Great to see you.

This is the tallest residential apartment

on the planet.

It has some of the most amazing features.

I'm gonna show it to you.

You let me know if you think of anybody

who you might be, uh, thinking about

who'd be able to take something like this.

- You got it.

- Okay?

- Wow!

- Look at the view, everybody.

Is that the Statue of Liberty?

That tiny little speck?

- Exactly.

- Yes it is.

- Oh my God!

- Straight down.

- Amazing.

- It's to die for.

I've been only focusing on billionaires.

It's called Billionaires' Row.

If you want to feel like a power player,

this is it.

-This view!

-You own the game.

But I'm always looking for

the best possible strategy.

So I thought,

"Is there a bigger market out there?"

Centimillionaires outnumber billionaires

ten to one.

- My

- I mean this is it.

This is this is the pinnacle.

This is the pinnacle

of New York City living.

I'm targeting a brand-new demographic.

There's the billionaires.

There's about 3,000 of them.

But I think,

out of the 30,000 centimillionaires,

we have a much better chance.

Anyone can enjoy this property.

- A couple, family, single person.

- Right.

Key NFL players, like Aaron Rodgers,

now is in New York.

Who are we talking?

-Gotta hit Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary.

-Mr

- Yeah, I should.

- You know?

- That's a great idea.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna hit him up.

The reach that these people have

with the 1% of the 1%

is expansive and influential.

Nuts, right?

Now I need them

to brag about the penthouse

to their networks and bring me buyers.

The right buyer is out there.

It's about us getting in touch.

Quick, like how quick? Like ASAP?

11.5, all cash?

What's their timeline for closing?

They can close

in seven business days.

Okay, I like that.

11.5, all cash, quick close.

That's a great start.

Just so you know, I have another offer

in play that I'm negotiating right now.

It's higher in number than this.

Um, I just presented it to the owner.

So he's digesting it right now,

and he's supposed to get back to me

within a couple of hours.

And they're We're close on that.

I can't believe

I have two offers on 67 Franklin.

Now we can play the cards.

We can go back and forth and see

who comes up to the best number,

the best terms, the best deal.

It also confirms that I priced it right.

And who doesn't love a bidding w*r?

I need you to get them up in number,

put their best foot forward.

I don't have to tell you. You've seen it.

They've seen it. They know. They love it.

This is a piece of art.

And, you know, I mean,

I hate to put urgency on it,

but this is an urgent matter.

Perfect. Okay. Thank you so much.

- Okay.

- Bye.

You just get an offer on the Plaza?

No, that was the penthouse at 67 Franklin.

- Okay.

- Yes.

-We're asking 12.

-What are we talkin' about here?

That offer just came in at 11.5.

We have another offer

higher in number, 11.68.

-All cash?

-That's not all cash.

- Contingent?

- It's not contingent on financing.

But they do want to finance.

Their timeline for closing

is more like a 60-day close.

So, again, I mean, it's

You know, it's good. It's not great.

- Right.

- We're trying to get them up as well.

-Okay.

-But we're very close to that deal.

-Right.

-So these people are just calling me now.

11.5, that's a great start.

- It is.

- But, honey, you need to bring it up.

What do they need to come up to?

My gut tells me 11.7.

-11.7?

-Yeah.

-You're super close. Okay.

-Honestly.

-You're 20K away now from that deal.

-Right.

But the all-cash deal is the best one

if you can make it.

-Cash is king, baby. We know this.

-So

Hopefully, that broker's doing

what she needs to.

-Exactly.

-Right?

Half the battle is getting

the other broker to talk to their buyer.

-And create this sense of urgency.

-Right.

-You're at the one-yard line.

-I know.

We're almost

Okay, this is her.

That was quick.

Quick. They want it.

Hello, this is Jordan.

Yes?

So, they're okay with

11.8. Okay.

Is that gonna get it done?

I will have to talk to my client

and circle back with you.

Um, but this sounds great to me.

So let me speak to the owner,

and I'll call you as soon as possible.

All right. All right, bye.

-11.8! Whoo!

-Let's go! Let's go!

- Oh my God.

- It's 100K more than you thought!

-Well played.

-Okay.

- I gotta call the developer.

- Go!

-I'll be right back.

-Get the deal done.

Get 'em, Jordan. Get 'em! Get 'em!

Hello. How are you?

Amazing. Yes, so we have great news.

That's awesome.

Okay. Just stay here.

Yeah, no. So just tell me

where the deals are quickly.

No, I'm super, super late

to where I'm going.

I've had five months

and five of my top agents

on the penthouse listing

at Central Park Tower,

and it and it hasn't sold yet.

- Hello.

- You always make everybody wait like this?

Sorry.

So I just need more time.

When you come here,

do you focus on the view,

or do you look at

every other building you're building?

I use this as a bit of a platform

to show what we've done.

-But, uh, depends who I'm meeting.

-Yeah.

So, what's goin' on?

Let's just cut to the chase, then.

So our listing agreement is coming up.

And I want an extension.

I took six months to get this

fitted out the way you wanted it.

You were supposed to be working.

-We were.

-To bring me a buyer.

-Yes.

-Okay?

You said you'd sell this in two seconds.

-Yeah.

-You'd find the right buyer.

-We've done everything we said we'd do.

-Yes.

And you and your team

have not delivered yet.

I I just need a little more time.

Only so many people

can afford this apartment.

-It's not a $2 million penthouse.

-I believe in you. I believed in you.

I know there's nothing wrong

with this product.

If it's not us, it must be you.

There's a lot

of other good brokers out there.

And they're lining up.

We focus on results here.

-Yes.

-Okay?

You're asking me for how much more time?

Give me a couple months,

I will have exhausted all my resources.

I don't think you're gonna find

anyone hungrier

-You can't expect me to answer right now.

-I understand.

I can't make any promises.

But if I were you,

I would start thinking

that this is not for you.
