Ken Brandman relishes in the world of Manhattan commercial real estate, where the stakes are high and the clientele and the deals provide fertile ground for Ken to excel as a top-notch negotiator and businessman. What has made Ken so successful in this industry are his
well-rounded business background/education, his quick mind and his keen ability to get to the point to negotiate a fair transaction and make deals happen. Ken’s dynamic personality and his no-nonsense business approach make him a manager and a dealmaker set far above the rest.
Ken has always had a deep passion for Manhattan commercial real estate. He first began taking seminars and spending time in the “foreclosure wing” of the New York City supreme court house while he was still a student at Pace University, and he quickly became involved in residential real estate purchases and a co-op conversion in the early 1990’s. By the end of the decade, Ken had begun working in NYC real estate full-time, and he rapidly built a furnished Manhattan apartment rental business. This business grew into the successful NYC apartment rental and sales company of New York Apartments Unlimited, Inc. Looking for a new challenge, Ken and his company changed their focus to Manhattan commercial real estate – and changed the name to New York Commercial Realty Services, LLC (NYCRS).
Ken graduated from Pace University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree (BBA), majoring in Public Accounting. He is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the state of New York. Ken’s accounting career started with the prestigious firm of Coopers & Lybrand, where he was an auditor working with such clients as Philip Morris, Unilever, NBC, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). He then went on to be an Internal Auditor for a manufacturing company, where, for two years, he traveled extensively throughout the world, reviewing the operations of the company’s subsidiaries. Ken also started an Internal Audit function for Bloomberg L.P., had his own CPA firm where he prepared business and personal income tax returns, and was a business consultant. Ken also dabbled in the magazine industry before starting his New York commercial real estate career. |
