As a father with three young adults and a full time Real Estate career, you could say that Norman Horowitz loves both his jobs and you wouldn’t be wrong. Born the middle child from a large family, he has always enjoyed the interplay of people and made it a cornerstone of his life. Finding a home or selling one is much less traumatic when Norman is involved, and his 25 years and 1,500+ successful Real Estate transactions are a testament to this.
Norman’s educational background includes a Bachelors Degree in psychology from the City University of New York, Graduate studies leading to a Master’s Degree in Real Estate Valuation from New York University, CCIM (commercial investment) designation coursework and Honor Graduate from the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey, California.
Applying the discipline and interpersonal skills developed during his six years of Military service as a non-commissioned officer in the “Human Intelligence and Linguistics” specializations, Norman immediately rose to recognition at a renowned Manhattan Real Estate firm. His uncanny ability to consistently assemble 10 rental & sales deals per month led to a promotion as Manager of the firm’s Downtown office, in charge of 30 full time brokers and 4 support staff. During that tenure, Norman innovated an in-house training program emphasizing a commitment to servicing people and continued professional growth of each agent affiliated with the firm, while de-stressing income quotas.
In an effort to expand his Real Estate base, Norman joined Halstead Property LLC in 1994 and has consistently been elected to their prestigious Producer’s Council and Platinum Circle. Norman augments his Real Estate transactions with feasibility studies, appraisal seminars, expert testimony, complex negotiations and membership in the Real Estate Board of New York and The Downtown Broker’s Association, whose rigid standards include ethical considerations and professional conduct. In 1998, Norman was promoted to Executive Vice President in recognition of $20 million in gross sales. He spearheaded the luxury condo market in Harlem with the highly successful Washington Irving Condominium conversion in the fall of 2003. Currently an Executive Vice President with $100 + million in sales, Norman has focused on large Condominium conversions and Townhouses, working with major developers and townhouse owners who’ve sought out his expertise, reputation and guidance to professionally market their uniquely restored residences.
