A fourth generation New Yorker with a thorough understanding of his hometowns evolving neighborhoods and fluctuating real estate market, Jeff devotes a tremendous amount of time, energy and professionalism to helping his clients achieve their goals, either by acquiring their dream homes or through selling existing properties for the best possible price. He also draws on his extensive travels and the skills he developed over 25 years as an advertising and sales executive to help international clients find promising investment properties or pieds-a-terre.Jeff grew up in Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, and since then has lived in Park Slope, Boerum Hill, The East Village, and now, Harlem, where he serves on his condo board. This extraordinary city is totally and completely in my blood, he says. Its pace, the mix of people, our diverse culture, and the street life, which is one of my favorite things about New York. Jeff shares his love of the citys rich history by hosting a series of well-attended tours of historic New York neighborhoods for his clients and friends. My goal was to do something endemic to real estate, to have people discover these intriguing neighborhoods, and with a fun spin on it, says Jeff. And these tours reflect my commitment to educating clients about the citys neighborhoods, sometimes before they choose to buy.During his limited down time, Jeff enjoys live folk music and regularly attends both The New York Philharmonic and The Metropolitan Opera. An active volunteer, he serves on the boards of several organizations, including Out Professionals, a networking group, and the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, the first dedicated LGBTQ art museum in the world. Jeff values Halsteads commitment to serving clients. There is no other New York real estate company that has as many tools to be of service to its clients and whos committed to giving them the personal attention that is so vital when they are making the most financially consequential decisions of their lives, he says.
