What’s It Like Being New York City’s Best Real Estate Agent — Laurie Cooper

Is it still worth getting into New York City real estate? I sat down with broker Laurie Cooper, who started her own firm, G. Laurie Cooper, Inc., in 1979 and has sold homes across the city for more than 40 years.

Laurie shares the Barbara Corcoran line that changed how she thinks about running a team, the 79th Street townhouse one man bought for $250,000 that later sold for $50 million, and how she talked tenants into buying 10 rooms on Fifth Avenue for $90,000 when those homes now go for $12 million. She explains co-op boards vs condos, how Brooklyn went from the place she couldn't wait to leave to the hottest area in the city, and why she never doubted buyers would come back after COVID.

You walk away with a broker's view of every cycle this city has been through.
