Realty Collective Buys Out Frank Manzione!

In a move bound to shake up the real estate scene in Carroll Gardens, relative upstart Realty Collective has bought old-time Frank Manzione. The new was buried reported deep in a glowing profile sponsored post of the young firm on Brooklyn Based titled “Real Estate Agents Who Aren’t Creepy.” According to the piece, Realty Collective, which started in 2005 and has thrived by differentiating itself as a group of brokers with artistic leanings and good hearts, tripled its listings when it bought Manzione earlier this month. Seems like a smart move to us: Just moving the old-school franchise into the Internet era should create some value almost overnight.
