Come on in.
-[Eleonora] Hi, Steve. Right on time. -Hey.
-Come on in! -All right.
I'm Eleonora.
-Nice to meet you. Deena. -Hi. Nice to meet you.
-Sultan. -Hi, pleasure to meet you.
[Steve] Eleonora's listing is in one of New York's most historic neighborhoods.
Legends like Oscar Wilde, Theodore Roosevelt,
they all once lived here.
And although the price is high,
I'm confident my clients will love this place.
I brought them here because they love good real estate.
They live in a pre-war building now.
So if you love pre-war, this is the perfectly imperfect pre-war home.
You know, it has 61 windows on two floors.
There are four distinct terraces. It has a lot of different spaces.
But there's a functionality to it, which is also really nice.
It really flows beautifully.
What year was it built?
So this was actually built in 1927 as a hotel,
and then it was converted in 2012. And there are only 16 apartments.
It's a historical building.
It was the Salvation Army Women's Dormitory, right?
[Eleonora] Steve is a pro. I love working with agents of his caliber.
I know that he's already done his research, done his homework.
He knows the building. He's been here before.
He knows the neighborhood. His buyers are going to be qualified.
And I just love going head-to-head with someone who's going to raise my game.
So we'll start here.
What's beautiful, obviously, the terraces have three corners themselves.
But you have, you know, views all the way around.
You have a bird's-eye view of the park,
which is beautifully landscaped and maintained.
-My favorite building in New York City. -Which is, Chrysler?
[Eleonora] I love it too. It's the prettiest.
You have almost over 2,000 square feet of outdoor space.
-It's separated, not one full terrace. -Literally a drop under. Like 1,990.
-Now the price is going to come down more. -[laughter]
-Should we continue? -[Sultan] Yeah.
-[Steve] Nice cool summer day. -[Deena] Yeah.
[Eleonora] Follow me. Let me show you. It just gets better.
♪ I paint a masterpiece I got what you need ♪
[Eleonora] This leads to the primary suite.
[Steve] This is nice. You have natural light
coming into the hallway that brings you down.
♪ Got them saying "wow" Yeah, I can guarantee that ♪
This is the primary. And, right, like, how often in New York do we get bedrooms
where we have two different terraces off of the primary?
Yeah, you're a morning person,
and you want to sit out here in the sun and have your coffee.
You have this.
If you're more of an evening, you get the western sunset here.
-And you have a hot tub. -[phone buzzing]
[Steve] It's almost like you have too much outdoor space.
-There's a lot of hallway space. -[Deena] Yes, I also noticed that.
It's over 6,000 square feet--
[Eleonora] There's something with Howard. I gotta take this call.
[Steve] Oh, with Howard. Okay. I understand.
So, let me show you this. Three corners, west, east, south.
Hello?
Hi, good. How are you?
Yes.
So you get amazing light literally sunrise to sunset.
From you, or from the company, or…?
[tense music playing]
Honestly, that's so surprising because she's been closing
a decent amount of deals, and she's on--
Yeah.
So how much is she asking for?
And then the primary bathroom is back here, so…
Very classic pre-war feeling.
You know, this is Robert Stern at his finest.
[Eleonora] I didn't realize that any of this was… going on.
But she does have things--
Honestly, she has things in the pipeline, so I'm kind of surprised to hear that.
I just found out that Taylor went to the top of the chain at Elliman
to ask for a loan.
That should never have happened.
And if she was going to ask anybody, she should have come to me.
I'm a little bit concerned for Taylor.
Maybe there's more going on that I didn't know about.
And I'm worried that in her trying to fix her own problems,
she's actually making things worse for herself.
Honestly, I had no idea.
I think it's probably she was embarrassed to come to me or something.
Okay. All right. Thank you, Howard. Okay. Bye.
I don't know if she thinks she's doing something good for herself
or something beneficial for herself,
but Taylor's actually hurting her own reputation.
Every single one of these agents is an extension of me.
So when Taylor is hurting her own reputation,
that is hurting my reputation.
If I don't step in here, she could fall on a sword.

This listing is monumental for me because it is the first listing
that I am bringing to this company by myself.
And I got this listing as a referral from someone I'd previously worked with,
a.k.a. I did such a good job they want to tell their friends about me.

How are you?
Good. Hi.
[cheery music playing]
-Bright and beautiful. -Back at you.
Looking like a little sorbet.
-We do. -Thank you for coming.
-[Jordyn] Wow! Chrysler building? -[Abi] Right?
You got all the views.
This is pretty, Abi.

-Where are your sellers? -In Connecticut for the weekend.
-Nice. -I know.
It's always difficult when the sellers live in the property
because there's so many things to hide and fix up before you start showing it.
I mean, it looks beautiful.
For this to be their living furniture is insane, right?
-Like, this could easily be staged. -I thought it was.
-Yeah, no. -Great.
[Abi] What I love is the kitchen's open, but often when you have an open kitchen,
you sacrifice your living space or a dining room.
-Right. -You have to pick.
But you have your dining space. You have a little bit of a lounge area.
And then you have an entirely separate den living area.
-And a killer fricking view. -[Abi] And a killer view, like…
you have Empire State Building there.
Okay. So, when did you list?
So, we just came live.
-Congrats. How's it been? -Thanks, honey.
It's been slow.
The price per square foot is a little bit over the neighborhood's average.
-What is it priced at now? -We're 4.75.
Have you done brokers' events?
Yeah. So, I'm working on starting a brokers' event.
I'm going to send out mailers and do a building mixer.
I really feel that the buyer actually already lives in the building.
Have you talked to the doorman? Who's having a baby?
I've gotten really close with Roger down there.
[Abi laughs]
It's nice, right?
I mean, it's a bit doom and gloom now, but--
It's fine. It looks like there's a storm a-coming.
Actually, that reminds me. I got a bone to pick, I'm gonna be honest.
Like, I was obviously very excited about the New York Times article.
Calling my mom.
I'm gonna be in the press. This is a big deal.
The New York Times published an article about our Irving listing,
and I'm not mentioned in it one time.
It was disappointing not to see my name on the article.
And then reading it, I'm like, I'm kind of happy I'm not in the article.
Like, I'm going to be honest. Like, I was really kind of frustrated.
What the fuck are these quotes?
Like we don't know what we're talking about.
Okay.
Jordyn's quoted in the article,
and I definitely wish the quotes were more eloquent.
[clears throat dramatically]
[in a mocking voice] "There's, like, marble wainscoting in the shower."
"Like"?
"The buyer can create their little wonderland on a roof,"
Ms. Braff said, "or make it this jungle oasis."
What's a jungle oasis?
What is a jungle oasis? We're in Gramercy Park.
What do you mean jungle? It's like Tarzan? No.
It just, to me, came across as very, like, nobody gave a shit about this article.
[scoffs]
The article is what it is.
The writer seems like, from the start, he had…
Absolutely.
You know, he had his voice on this matter no matter what we said.
He did not say we were going to be quoted.
He didn't even have a recording.
So he's deciding to add the "like" in my sentence… purely off memory.
I'm like, "Okay."
With Irving, I have just been go, go, go.
I'm just trying to get this done, get it all done right.
Because one thing about me is when I do have a client secured,
whether that's a buyer or a renter, I really do dive into that.
And Eleonora is the top of that pyramid.
And it's like you see the joy that her success brings to her.
[soft music playing]
And… it's addictive.
Like, I want a piece of that.
So the New York Times article is a big bummer.
I wish that would have come out a lot more eloquently than it did.
I think my biggest, kind of, frustration after it came out
was just that I felt like… nobody really cared or was upset.
I felt like I was really like, "Okay, like, come on."
Like, you know, nobody is…
But what you didn't see is the 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.,
when Eleonora and I are trying to get on the phones.
We're on the phones with their team and New York Times
to get specific things changed. And those are--
I get wanting to be on calls,
but our priority isn't "Make sure Abi's on these calls."
Our priority is, "Let's get this shit fixed."
I would have loved a text saying like,
"We've been up all morning, like, trying our hardest--"
I know, but we're not answering to you.
Like, it's not like our client is Abi. Our client is not Abi.
Our client is freaking the fuck out about this article.
I am just starting to get resentful that I'm literally not on anything.
Abi, you have so much time to make your…
like, plant yourself on this listing once we go live.
There are so many opportunities past this point.
I will say I'm getting mad because I think you're mad,
and I'm mirroring this a bit, but I don't respond well to this.
I don't respond well to, "Let me pick a bone with you."
I think it also speaks to a bit of why I was a little bit more hesitant
to bring you on with the client and things,
because if you want this to be a lot more of a blunt conversation with me
at times when I'm like, "Hey… let's tone it down a little bit,"
or would that hurt your feelings?
The reason I've kept Abi off of a lot of the client-facing side at Irving
is because of her big personality.
I just think that she's excited, just a puppy out of the gate.
And she just needs to get past the idea that her being looked at
as the green and the young is a bad thing.
It's not.
I think people on this team are going to be able to teach her a lot.
As long as she stops looking at the fact we're all trying to do that
as a negative thing, then she'll learn a lot.
I mean, it's definitely not nice to feel like…
you don't think I'm professional enough to be on client calls.
Like that's, you know, obviously like a blow, but…
It's not that I don't think you're professional enough. I don't know.
And I don't want to test it with this client.
It's just very difficult for me when I don't understand
why people aren't accepting me or liking me.
[tearfully] Like, it's just very difficult in this group.
Okay. I know. It's okay. You okay?
No matter what I do, nobody here will accept me.
You guys have your bonds, and you guys have known each other longer.
Like, you said, "I don't respond well to this."
I don't know that. I don't know you.
Nobody's giving me the chance to get to know them.
I had such high expectations it was gonna be a sisterhood, a girl squad.
This is brand new. We don't know what the hell it is.
I feel like it exists without me.
I see the Instagrams, everyone's out together.
Do you see the drama that happens in the office every day
with different people all the time?
But that's family. You have drama.
We're not family yet. We're getting there.
I haven't gotten to a point where these are, like, my sisters yet,
and I think you think that's what's happening here.
You are a huge part of this listing, and a huge part of this team,
and I like you, Abi. I haven't gotten to love yet.
I will not be proposing any time soon, but I do like you a lot.
You're just like a new breed that I'm figuring out in my way,
which is slowly, but I can pick it up. I can pick up speed, and I will do that.
-What are you doing later? -Today?
Nothing. Closing up shop here.
Why don't we grab a drink, no real estate talk.
-Yeah. -We will sorority sister it up.
That's my language.
Okay. If I could give advice…
Take a beat with everyone. Just breathe.
I think maybe the pressure of how much you want to connect
is getting in your way a bit.

[Eleonora] Hi, Howard.
Hey, how you doing?
-I'm good. Good to see you. -You're not late for a change.
Excuse me?
If you look good, it's okay that you're late.
Of course. Well, in that case, you should be late all the time.
-[Eleonora chuckles] So, how are things? -Everything's good. What's going on?
-Lots to catch you up on today. -Good.
[Eleonora] Howard, he is a power player of New York City real estate.
He also owns Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs. He is a self-made billionaire.
Personally, he has been like a mentor for me.
I first entered his office doors when I was 22,
and really trying to prove myself.
He's shrewd. He tells it like it is.
He'll never sugarcoat it for me. So, I speak that language.
What's going on with you?
Well, things have been great.
We had a great last year.
-Yeah, I know. -[chuckles]
Honestly, you did a fantastic job.
-Those guys were tough. -Not easy.
Yeah. That was a creative deal.
-Yeah. -Honestly, I couldn't be happier.
And so, for me, after that, I felt like, you know, the right thing to do
was to build on that success.
It's a big change to suddenly have this team.
With all the eyeballs on you now, you got to be careful on who you hire.
Howard, you're right. I mean, I've really invested a lot of time and even money
in trying to get these girls opportunities that otherwise, like, they wouldn't have.
By the way, I'm sorry you caught wind of all that stuff with Taylor.
Does your team come to you often?
-With problems? -More often than not.
I love it when they come to me with real estate problems
because then I feel like I can help them and guide them.
-It's more challenging when-- -Life problems.
Right. And look, we do definitely need to focus sometimes on, like,
conflict resolution and--
-That take up most of the meeting? -A lot of the meetings. [laughs]
I'm not surprised.
You know, like, some days are easy, and some days are definitely challenging.
You can't practice as a psychiatrist.
You can practice as a broker, 'cause you're licensed.
So it's a balancing act, you know.
But I do think that Taylor has the tenacity and hunger and work ethic.
It's a business like everything else.
So the question is how much is going to come down to you?
Actually, that's what I told the girls is, like,
I can have a really monumental year, but so can all of you.
Yeah.
They have access to the top of New York City here with me now.
They probably would never have those type of opportunities.
You worked hard to get those opportunities.
Right.
So if they don't use those opportunities, then you have the wrong people.

Just the phone call I've been waiting for.
So they like 10-F.
Talk to me.
There's a one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence at the Mandarin
that's asking 4.280.
You have an offer for me? Now I'm listening.
I just got an offer on this apartment, but the offer has come in at 3.9.
Well, it's asking 4.28.
I'll present it, and I'll get back to you. Stay tuned.
Traditionally, there has been no negotiations on these apartments.
We have set the market, and we have shattered all records.
Hi. I have an offer on 10-F. It's at 3.9.
I know what you're going to say. I wanted to keep you in the loop.
I'm going to give the broker a call, and get this done. Don't worry.
While showing the apartment, my tactic is to always
kill them with kindness.
Now, when it comes to the negotiations,
you will see a completely different side of me
because I am firm and definitive of where this apartment will trade.
We are the only fully-furnished,
accessorized option with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Services.
We have not done any negotiating on any apartments here.
Don't come with anything less than a full asset offer,
otherwise it's not gonna get done.
If this buyer doesn't want to come up to the full ask,
I can sell him something for 3.9, but he's not going to get this apartment.
I'll wait to hear back.

The West Village is rich in history.
It has lots of parks and green spaces.
There's also so many little shops and restaurants,
and that's also where you will find the steps
notorious to Carrie Bradshaw's brownstone,
which actually in the series was on the Upper East Side,
but was filmed in the West Village.
Properties in the West Village sell incredibly fast,

To tell you about the house, it's just shy of 4,000 square feet,
four bedrooms, four bathrooms on five levels.
Completely gut-renovated, brand-new, quintessential New York.

And I love the price point.
Where can you find a finished townhouse under ten million in the West Village?
I actually have someone in mind.
-I'd love to show them. -It's pretty.
Everything custom millwork, cabinetry, custom Sub-Zero fridge.

And the best part are these custom sliding iron doors
that bring you right to the outdoor space.

[Eleonora] I love the fire escape.
It's common to have one outdoor space, maybe two. This has four.
So this is one of the larger ones, which gives you a beautiful vantage point

Or, if you're having guests at night, champagne.
-A little champagne. A little tequila. -[Josh] Exactly.
And then you have this incredible dressing area.
This was built perfectly for you.

So, take your time. Enjoy the house. Let me know if you have any questions.
-Thank you for having us. -See you guys in a bit.
-Thank you. -[Abi] Thank you, Josh.
The fact that Eleonora is bringing me on pitches, on showings,
introducing me to other agents and people in the industry,
that's all I need to know.
The boss lady's bringing me around, even if Jordyn isn't.
That's all that matters.
I don't need anyone's approval… except Eleonora's. [laughs]
-How pretty is this? -[Abi] It's just such a nice day.
-Yeah. -[Abi] We have some beautiful sun.
[bike bell chimes]
So, what's going on?
I wanted to just sit down and just chat about, um…
kind of just my feelings that's going on with Irving and Jordyn.
I recognize that she's been in the industry longer than I have.
But I just feel like almost every time that I'm talking about the listing,
I'm basically having to, like, fight for some sort of involvement.
I know the money is going to be fair.
At the end of the day, what matters is that we do sell it.
All this other stuff is bullshit.
But I just feel like over the last four years of my career,
I've really been trying to develop a name for myself.
I haven't been in this industry as long as some other people, you know.
I don't have connections or like cool people that I hang out with.
Like I'm just pretty much this unknown person.
And so, I really was hoping that this listing
was going to put me on the map and showcase me.
So, it was just upsetting some of the press that's coming out,
it's not mentioning my name at all.
When you sell this listing, your name will be all over it.
Obviously, you know, I put Jordyn as the lead on this
because she was the one who had the contact
or the direct relation to the owner.
I still want everyone to be included. This is a team effort.
We should work together. I'm sorry that you're feeling that way.
But the decision to not have you in the initial press was mine.
That's not on Jordyn.
You know, this is a very sensitive situation.
When you get a new listing, you usually want to invite a lot of press.
This was not necessarily that.
The sellers actually here are seeking privacy and discretion.
They don't want press.
-Yeah. -You are on the listing front and center.
I just felt more comfortable with me and Jordyn
giving the actual interview
because the team is so primed
for people saying we're green, we're not ready.
Look, even my best friends in this industry are coming to me
and saying you guys are not ready, you don't deserve to be here.
But without that context, it just felt like the cherry on top.
-I get it. I'm your boss. -That's why communication is key.
Trust my experience. Trust that I want you to look good.
I want you to shine. And I want to celebrate all of your wins.
I want to protect you from the moments that aren't as good.
I just want you to use this energy with this listing to get more.
Yeah, 100%.
It's all yours now. This platform is yours.
-Do it. -Yeah.
Build on this momentum. That will get your name out there.

Yeah. It's been a really good opportunity to learn another side of the business,
and frankly, I really enjoy the networking aspect of it.
-Coke. -Thank you.
Chardonnay. Any questions on the menu?
[Taylor] Um… the filet mignon kebabs.
[server] The filet skewers? Sure.
-May I have the red snapper? -[server] Yes, thank you so much.
-So… -What about you?
Which listings are most top of mind for you right now?
So, Leonard Street Maisonette, which has been staged.
-As you know, I took you by. -It looks amazing.
And then White Street is now officially under contract,
which is so exciting. I'm so glad.
Hopefully it frees you up so we can actually have a summer.
I know. I feel like you've had to take a back seat for… a few years now.
[both laugh]
I was waiting to see the timescale you put to that.
Yeah, for a few years now. And…
[indistinct chatter]
You know, ten years ago, getting started in this business,
working constantly, making no money…
Then my dad gets sick.
And… because things have been heavy for a few years,
I was… debating whether or not I should bring it up,
but I kinda, you know, the clock is ticking,
and I'd like to explore…
[indistinct chatter in the background]
…fertility options… again.
I am getting older, and the fertility doctor had said,
you know, Taylor, we just have to stop the clock.
My husband and I, we've had fertility issues.
Every family looks different, and there's no such thing as a typical nuclear family.
But luckily in New York, we have the best fertility doctors,
but it's expensive. It's time-consuming.
I'm the breadwinner in the family.
And the last time that we went through the process,
sadly, it didn't work out.
You know, it's too bad.
You just have to know that it's going to be a time commitment,
a financial commitment.
I'm trying not to jump six steps ahead…
Growing a family here,
in addition to everything else that we've been challenged with,
is like, it's a new challenge.
Yeah. To have to step away some from work to be able to commit time to this,
it's very… it feels like the opposite of what I should be doing.
Uh, but I think…
I'm glad to hear you say that,
because there's such momentum behind your career
that to introduce, like, one of the largest personal decisions
you could ever make is, like, totally at odds
with professional momentum.
I can't wrap my head around how you're necessarily supposed to, like,
keep both.
[emotional music playing]
Well…
[tense music playing]
I think that given so many different health challenges and everything,
in my mind I've really… tried to process
what life would look like without kids
just so that I can prepare myself in case it doesn't work out.
-Yeah. -But I always wanted to be a mom.
And it's sometimes hard.
For my body to… let me down in that way has been hard.
And I feel like I did a lot of it to myself
because I was so hard on my body for so long in my addiction.
[emotional music playing]
And then hearing people talk about
how tough their fertility journey is
when they're trying for their second and their third, and I'm like,
you already have one.
Like, I get wanting to have a bigger-- But you already have one.
Like, what is that like?
You know, we've talked about we don't want two, three, four kids.
We just… we want one.
It's a very weighted thing to try to process
when I know it doesn't fix the marriage… at all.
I'm not naive to that.
I've heard that kids with marriage, it brings out the best in your marriage,
and the absolute worst.
So I don't know. I think I'm just, like…
[emotional music playing]
…processing all of it.
