Bohemia Realty Group grows 25% in Q1 2019

New York, NY Bohemia Realty Group, a full-service real estate brokerage specializing in the sale and leasing of residential and commercial properties in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx, as well as the greater New York City area, grew more than 25% in the first quarter of 2019, according to Jon Goodell, co-founding principal. With two offices in Upper Manhattan, comprising a Harlem office at 2101 Frederick Douglass Blvd. (113th/114th Sts.) and 3880 Broadway (161st/162nd Sts.) in Washington Heights, the firm has 133 licensed sales agents, up from 106 agents in December 2018. In addition, Bohemia now has one of the largest numbers of exclusive listings in Upper Manhattan, by market share.

“Sarah [Saltzberg] and I started Bohemia in 2012 with just a few agents and a dream of becoming a part of the amazing communities that make Upper Manhattan so dynamic,” said Goodell. “We created an environment that would be especially welcoming to entrepreneurs who wanted additional income without compromising artistic pursuits. And it’s worked!”

In 2016, the Washington Heights office opened and by 2018, there were 100 full-time, licensed agents in both offices. In addition to a marked increase in licensed agents this year, Bohemia Realty Group has been experiencing record growth in sales and leasing.
