From Party Planning to a Multi-Billion Dollar NYC Real Estate Company

Episode Summary

Hear how successful real estate broker Eric Benaim builds an empire from the ground up.

Episode Notes

With New York City being one of the world’s most expensive and competitive real estate markets, Eric Benaim came sweeping through the area to redefine what it means to be a successful real estate broker. Formerly a party planner in NYC, the 9/11 tragedy put a major halt to his industry and forced him to pivot his entire career. He shifted into real estate and came across a unique opportunity that would eventually lead to the launch of his own successful brokerage. A new building was being constructed in the sleepy, underdeveloped area of Long Island City and Eric envisioned it as the perfect location to sell rental property. His savvy instincts proved to be instrumental. He sold properties like hotcakes and Long Island City quickly rose to the top in the high-end real estate world. After quickly establishing his clientele through endless referrals, it paved the way for Modern Spaces to obtain 70% of the local market share. Despite not having gone to college, Eric has built a multi-billion dollar empire in the greater NYC area from the ground up, proving that anyone can take on a successful business endeavor no matter what the current economic climate is.
