The Real Deal New York

From the August issue: Jared Seligman thinks real estate is part of his genetic makeup. “Pretty much everyone in my family is involved in real estate,” said the Corcoran Group vice president. “It’s in my DNA. My grandfather is selling real estate in South Florida at the age of 85. He calls me up on Sunday mornings at the crack of dawn and asks why I’m not in the office.” At 21 years old, Seligman is rapidly gaining a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the world of Manhattan luxury condo sales. In 2007, he was named Corcoran’s Rookie of the Year after he sold $40 million worth of real estate. He is also a member of the firm’s multi-million dollar club.
