[In The Media] Bloomberg Radio/TV Housing Recovery May Take 3 to 4 Years

December 18, 2009 | 11:30 pm | | Public |


[click to play]

I was invited this morning to join Tom Keane and Ken Prewitt on their must listen to radio show Bloomberg Surveillance at 8am. I sat in for about 3/4 of an hour. Love this show – avid listener of their podcasts.

This time, they brought in a few cameras for a few minutes, mid-interview and cut in from the Bloomberg TV broadcast to join us. Fun!

[Getting A Read On Matrix] Wednesday September 2, 2009

September 2, 2009 | 12:01 am | |

Was a bit a bit crazed yesterday with the Madoff Montauk US Marshal video and I recorded two new podcasts for today and tomorrow (Marketing Guru, Fed Economist) so I didn’t get a chance to blog.

Here are a few things that caught my eye as something I would have expanded on in Matrix and are worth reading, especially the last two on a single regulator.

[The Housing Helix Podcast] Michael Falsetta, EVP, Miller Cicero, Brooklyn New Development Valuation

June 18, 2009 | 11:18 pm | Podcasts |


I spoke at length with Michael Falsetta, EVP of our commercial real estate valuation firm Miller Cicero, a 17 year expert on the Brooklyn new development space.

As a native Brooklynite, he’s got a lot to say about the most populous NYC borough.

He recently started a blog, 21Elephants.com covering the residential new development market in Brooklyn.

As an added bonus, I got some details about his Guiness Book of World Records world record for riding every mile of NYC subway system (in about 25 hours).

Check out the podcasts and links.

You can subscribe on iTunes or simply listen to the podcast on my other blog The Housing Helix.
