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.

  1. “differentiating itself as a group of brokers with artistic leanings and good hearts”

    In other words, they flatter their would-be customers with the conceit that they are, indeed, special people who shouldn’t have to deal with normal, grubby brokers.

  2. Oh Brother an “Artistic ” broker. Does it now mean that only artists and movie stars can talk to these artist brokers? I remember months back before the housing ninja bubble asset bubble popped I inquired about buying something if housing prices went down. Their answer was no. Housing prices will never go down in Carroll Gardens. Well you know what kind of business they will get with that type of mentality. Your artists are all broke. Cash is king and the smart saving hard working man has that not your artists working for food and drinks.

  3. SPONSORED AD- talk about creepy. Cannot trust a RE firm filled with NYC newbies, especially one that replaced a landmark deli, Latticini Barese.

    REAL ESTATE NEWS: Look for “For Rent” sign above old Manzione place in next 6 months.
