Real Estate agent in New York plays matchmaker for a fee
Using an agent to buy your next home makes sense. Having an agent to take care of the little details is so stress-relieving.
However, one agent in New York has chosen to add matchmaking services to his agenda. Is it working?
Ali Kleeblatt would say yes. Her real estate agent, David Dubin of the Corcoran Group in New York, introduced Kleeblatt, a 30-year-old psychologist, to her future fiancé, Brad Hoenig, in spring 2004.
And as things were heating up between the two, Dubin also found Hoenig, who was his client, a two-bedroom duplex apartment at the top of the Paladin, a building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Hoenig, 31, an investment banker, closed on the apartment for $1.325 million in June; he and Kleeblatt were engaged three months later.
Traditional matchmaking is not unheard of, but I don’t think this is a trend that’s going to ‘catch on’ readily. In fact, I can’t see very many agents getting excited about matchmaking. We expend our energy providing the best service to our clients already. Who has time for matchmaking?
