With Century 21 NY Metro now closed, boutique brokerage A.C. Lawrence has taken over the firm’s 45th Street office space and hired several of its top managers, including former CEO Marc Lewis as chairman.
Former Century 21 NY Metro managers Denise Salizzoni and Tiffany Stilwell are also joining A.C. Lawrence’s management. Salizzoni will serve as rental director and Stilwell as listings manager. Former Century 21 NY Metro Sales Director Marc Windheuser has returned to Prudential Douglas Elliman.
Other former Century 21 agents are “free to decide” whether they want to join A.C. Lawrence or not, said A.C. Lawrence spokesperson Charlotte Kullen, formerly the spokesperson for Century 21 NY Metro. A.C. Lawrence, which has around 35 agents, said it is launching an “aggressive recruitment campaign,” however. [more]

Residential brokerage Manhattan Apartments is facing
litigation from a local accounting firm for allegedly racking up
$82,640 in services dating back to the summer of 2008. Resnick Druckman Group filed suit in New York state Supreme Court April
2, demanding a judgment after claiming it has not been paid despite
sending an invoice to Manhattan Apartments in July 2008. The lawsuit comes at a difficult time for Manhattan Apartments, which
sources say has lost dozens of agents to rival brokerages in recent
months, including Bond New York and Century 21 NY Metro. [more]
