Several large brokerage firms have offices in Long Island City
By Liana Grey
In the last few months, brokerage firms around the city have expanded into the outer boroughs, announcing plans to recruit dozens of new agents.
Each office comes with its own perks, from free WiFi to a location in some of the trendiest enclaves outside Manhattan.
“One thing we do is we have more ample workspace,” said Dave Maundrell, president of the Williamsburg-based aptsandlofts.com.
Looking to expand south of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, the company just signed a lease for a 2,000 s/f storefront at the base of a three-story building in Cobble Hill, with 20 foot ceilings and a backyard.
“People can sit out there on the phone; they can sit with their iPads and work,” said Maundrell, who is looking to hire 40 new agents for the space. “We can have training sessions and barbecues.”
