New York City May Calendar of Unique and Charitable Events |
|
Greetings from the heart of New York City - With the warmth of the sun finally gracing our streets, it's a delight to witness the Big Apple come alive after the grip of winter. While the occasional chill lingers, the advent of spring heralds a season brimming with distinctive events and noble causes (see Calendar below for ideas). As you may be aware, spring marks the pinnacle of real estate activity in the NYC metropolitan area. As temperatures rise, so does the fervor of the selling season, extending well into the early days of autumn. Whether you're poised to purchase or poised to sell, NOW might be the opportune moment to seize the day! In April, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the timeless allure of Rome, reconnecting with longstanding clients who have been part of my journey for over three decades, as well as forging new connections with some remarkable individuals. Amidst the cobblestone streets and historic vistas of Rome, I found solace in its rich tapestry of culture and heritage, yet my thoughts invariably gravitated towards thinking of the dynamic pulse of our own metropolis. During my European sojourn, I was also once again reminded of the formidable strength of the Sotheby's network, extending its reach across 84 countries and beyond. Whether your aspirations lead you to an elegant townhouse in Boston, a sprawling ranch in Santa Fe, or an idyllic retreat in the Polynesian Isles, rest assured, I have the perfect colleague to recommend you to at Sotheby's International Realty to guide you on your real estate journey! With warm regards from THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS -

纽约市中心向您问好 – 暖阳终照街道,目睹纽约历经寒冬后重焕生机,实在是令人欣喜。偶尔会有寒意萦绕,但春季的到来即预示各种各样的鲜明活动和大有作为的机会(查看下面的日历,了解开发项目)。 您可能知道,春天标志着纽约市大都会地区的地产交易旺季。天气回暖,地产交易也随之升温,到初秋才消退。无论您是准备入手还是出手地产,现在可能就是绝佳的时机! 四月,我有幸徜徉在罗马的永恒魅力之中,重识三十多年来一直与我前行的老客户,并结交了一些精英。漫步在罗马的鹅卵石街道和古迹中,我从丰富多彩的文化和遗产中寻求到慰藉,但我的思绪总是转向思索我们大都市的活力脉动。 欧洲旅行期间,我也再次体会到苏富比的强大实力,目前,苏富比的触角遍及超过84个国家及地区。无论是想要坐拥波士顿雅致的别墅、圣达菲宽敞的牧场式住宅,还是波利尼西亚群岛田园诗情般的度假胜地,您大可放心,我都能给您推荐苏富比国际地产最专业的人士,引导您买卖地产! 不眠之城向致以您真诚的问候 – Kevin |
