Thomas C. Demsker here, The Un-Broker. As an Associate Broker for Prudential Douglas Elliman and creator of Un-Broker.com, I have put together a blog to help consumers with useful tidbits and insights about NYC Real Estate. This blog is done for the purpose of giving/helping consumers get the most out of NYC Real Estate. Based on my previous experiences as a consumer of Real Estate, I realized the public needed a new approach from their real estate professionals and the Un-Broker was born.
