Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Oren Alexander and Eric Trump of the Trump Organization are just two of New York real estate industry’s most promising young upstarts named among Forbes’ “Top 30 Under 30” list, a ranking of the country’s rising stars in various industries.

An Elliman vice president, Alexander made it onto the list after selling close to $100 million in homes at age 24, Forbes said. The New York and Miami broker is currently listing a $60 million private resort property at 3 Indian Creek in Miami Beach. Trump, meanwhile, has worked on more than 70 projects for his father’s company, including Chicago’s Trump Hotel & Tower and has been instrumental in expanding Trump’s golf course portfolio. Eric is 27 years old.

Other New York movers and shakers to have made the list include Caroline Bass, senior vice president of Citi Habitats, who works out of the company’s office on East 84th Street. Bass, who sold fashion mogul Tim Gunn a penthouse just last year, specializes in rentals, with an estimated $30 million in deals since 2005. Jared Seligman, a senior vice president at Prudential Douglas Elliman, was also ranked, having closed $100 million in sales deals by age 24. He boasts clients like the Olsen twins and James Franco.
