It’s been often said that "getting there is half the fun." But what exactly does this timeless saying really mean? In today’s bottom line, results-oriented society, it suggests that we shouldn’t view the journey as a task to be accomplished, but rather as an experience to be enjoyed. Philip Altland exemplifies this philosophy and believes the key to every successful journey is getting there in style.
The excitement of New York
As a young boy, Philip was first introduced to the excitement of New York City while on a trip with his family. Peering down from his parent’s hotel room, he was enchanted by the glamorous street scene. Flood lights filled the air as elegantly dressed people emerged from slick, black limousines on their way to an extravagant event being held inside the hotel. For a boy from the small town of York, Pennsylvania, this was the life.
A Dynamic and Lively Personality
Today, Philip is proud to call Manhattan "home" and the city still holds the same thrills and excitement he found so invigorating as a child. When you first meet him, you can tell immediately that he truly loves the flair and style of New York. In fact, his dynamic and lively personality is a reflection of the city itself, and it has helped him become somewhat of a local authority on the New York lifestyle.
Refreshingly Different Experience
As a leading real estate professional, he takes great pride in helping others make the most of living in New York. He’s well aware that moving to such a big city can be quite a challenge and that even if you’re relocating within the area, the process of buying or selling a property can be very taxing as well. However, with Philip, the journey is refreshingly different. It’s more than a question of simply looking at prospective properties. Philip makes it an experience to remember.
Enjoying the Ride
With Philip, the primary goal is always to get you the results you’re looking for quickly and efficiently. But he also recognizes that enjoying the ride along the way is equally important. His good natured sense of humor and ability to easily relate to people from all walks of life helps him break down the boundaries of the traditional client/agent relationship. This paves the way to establishing trusting friendships with the people he works with that often last long after the transaction is finished. It also helps to alleviate the stress that frequently comes with moving.
Extensive Marketing Strategy
Over the years, Philip has established a reputation as one the most highly respected agents in the city. For prospective sellers, he comes directly to your home with past sales in your building and neighborhood. This enables you to price your home correctly. He also outlines Douglas Elliman’s marketing strategy, which includes extensive advertising (in newspapers, color brochures, Bloomberg, the internet, etc.), cobroking your apartment with the entire brokerage community and conducting open houses for buyers and co-brokers. His long experience preparing hundreds of coop and condo board packages ensures that the buyer for your apartment will obtain board approval.
Regardless of where your own journey may take you, why not go there in style? Philip Altland will help you make the most of your move. His unique ability to make the process both entertaining and enjoyable, as well as successful, makes him the ideal professional to help you buy or sell your property.
