With a penchant for wearing one of his more than 40 vests each day, Ed Freiberg has become known as the "Vest-Dressed Broker" in New York City. More than just a snappy turn of phrase, this nickname is an emblem of the personal touch Ed brings to his real estate practice. As he puts it, "I work very hard for my clients. Some may even say I have a 'vested' interest in their lives. Their home is a large part of who they are, and it's why I care so deeply about how I advise and assist them."… Show more With a penchant for wearing one of his more than 40 vests each day, Ed Freiberg has become known as the "Vest-Dressed Broker" in New York City.

A native New Yorker and 9-year veteran of the industry, Ed has a large, deep-rooted local network, a thorough understanding of the market and an unmatched comfort level with the inner workings of the city. Creative, resourceful and amiable, Ed sees it as his personal mission to make the stressful, chaotic business of New York real estate as easy and as fun as possible. "I strive to take the mayhem and strain of the process off my clients' shoulders, so they can sit back and enjoy the process," he says. Prior to his real estate career, Ed was a successful television producer, entrepreneur and restaurateur. In his free time, he can be found indulging his continued passion for New York's unbeatable restaurant scene, and of course, shopping for vests. Show less

In 1996, Ed started his career as a television producer working with the UK's acclaimed production company Chrysalis Television, creating, writing and producing programs that were seen on the BBC, ITV and Channel4 UK. After 7 years in the world of media, he realized that despite his love for making television and the accolades he received from his field, he needed to pursue his passion for the business of nightlife/event planning and restaurants. The transition was seamless as the service industry was a natural fit for Ed. As he likes to say, “connecting with people from any walk of life is what I do best. My favorite hobby is collecting people.” Amassing a database of over 10,000 contacts of influential and interesting people, Ed quickly realized the power and potential of this “list.” In 2007, Ed decided to once again make a career pivot as he moved into the world of residential real estate. On becoming a broker, Ed realized that the skills he developed in the service industry and the network he built would help him immensely in his real estate career. While his medium had changed, he was still “producing,” whether it be a television program, an event or a restaurant concept, or finding an apartment and closing a deal; his attention to detail and follow-through have always led him to success. Ed's clients have true admiration for him, appreciating his honesty and diligence. Most of his business comes from referrals, as he is terrific at cultivating long term relationships! “This is when the cream will rise. I love working during hard times; I work twice as hard, but more work means more knowledge, more experiences and allows me to be better equipped to handle all of my clients needs. I'm excited for this challenge. Bring it on!" Show less
