Shaun Osher was missing in action. Word was that he was babysitting his kids while wife Lauren DeFranco, a reporter for WABC-TV on Long Island, was covering the recent string of Jones Beach-area killings.
Brittley Jarrell, chief strategy officer with Core, said the Flatiron District is growing in popularity among “empty-nesters.”

Lots of real estate bigwigs were in attendance, including Sotheby’s International Realty’s Roger Erickson, REBNY president Steven Spinola, Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Jacky Teplitzky, and Gumley Haft Kleier mother-daughters trio Michele Kleier, Sabrina Kleier Morgenstern and Samantha Kleier Forbes.
Teplitzky told us that her Elliman team has major restructuring plans in the works for 2011.
