With an extensive network and reach, Empire City Realty specializes in delivering all-inclusive real estate solutions to buyers, sellers, developers, renters and investors in the New York City market. The boutique company, comprised of a seasoned team of real estate professionals with experience ranging from investment and mortgage financing to negotiations with landlords, management companies, and attorneys, maintains an advantage by being a fully "plugged-in" firm tuned into the needs and desires of the Blackberry, Twitter, and Facebook generation.

"It is becoming more important than ever for real estate professionals to be expert in social media and marketing," says Steven Ostad, President of Empire City Realty. "While the core of the industry catches up, the playing field is wide open to those that already have tech know-how, which helps to attract niche markets, such as 35-and-under buyers and investors."

The young, assertive company offers clients the best of both worlds—the attention to detail and go-getter attitude of a boutique service, with the leverage and international reach of a large corporation. The company caters to a wide clientele, from post-grads to financiers to high net-worth individuals, and is one of the only tech-savvy NYC brokerages possessing expertise in maximizing the value of both social media and multi-platform marketing.  Empire City Realty has its finger on the pulse of the future of the real estate industry.

Empire City Realty is located at 369 Lexington Avenue, Suite 210. For more information, visit www.empirecityrealty.com.
