The only award sexier than the Scientific & Technical Oscars and more real estate-heavy than the “Ingenies” (if you don’t know what that means, watch John Koblin’s red-carpet coverage) is the Real Estate Board of New York’s Residential Deal of the Year trophy.
There are 33 deals to choose from for this year's award, according to today's press release from REBNY. Oddly, the heavy hitters are missing from the list of nominations! Where’s record-setter Paula? Where’s Rolls Royce Sharon? Where’s Ferrari Roger? Where’s omnipotent Dolly?
Here's the answer: Brokers essentially have to nominate themselves, and of course monumental Manhattan agents are way too chic and unruffled to self-nominate.
Nevertheless, there are some big names here, especially Wendy Maitland (Madonna’s broker, don’t forget) and Armin Allen of the classy boutique Edward Lee Cave. Winners are announced later this month, and the full nominees are below.
