“Who am I?” “I don’t know, who are you?” “What are you looking at?”

That’s a glimpse of conversation in Providence, RI, the smallest state in the Union. Early on, I learned to never talk to strangers, or if I had to, respond to questions with more questions.

Growing up in Little Rhody wasn’t particularly tough; growing up in my family was. As the middle child of strict parents, my default questions were “Why” or “Why not?”—not exactly ideal in a household that prized obedience.

As a middle child, I learned what not to do from my older sibling and taught my younger sibling how things should be done. These early survival skills became my greatest assets. I observed keenly, asked a lot of questions, and pushed myself to stand out. I’m a classic overachiever—probably because I’m left-handed.

By 14, I was done with conformity. I swapped classical piano, ballet, and tennis matches for rock 'n' roll, theater, and boys. I was destined to be a star—and I became one, a radio star.

While studying history and semiotics at Brown University, I moonlighted at radio stations across New England. My grandmother helped me buy my first car, a Datsun 210 MPG (stick shift, of course), for my overnight shifts in Boston. By 8 am, I’d be back in class, pulling apart “The Best and the Brightest” and conjugating verbs. I eventually repaid Grandma.

Hanging out with David Lee Roth, Joe Walsh, and Bruce Springsteen was exciting, but my maternal instincts kicked in. I married two brilliant men named Bob (not simultaneously). Raising kids was intense, but we prevailed despite the end of both marriages.

After over 25 years as a celebrated radio host, I wondered if there was more to life than on-air pranks. I transitioned into NYC real estate, combining my love for design, sales, and investing. Manhattan real estate is tough, but the challenges make the rewards sweeter.

For the past decade, I’ve helped families with real estate transactions, mastering the art of buying and selling properties at the best prices. Working with kind, respectful clients makes the process joyful. I’m grateful to help Manhattan homeowners move seamlessly with over 10 years of experience. taken in Manhattan, New York by @carolyntfox

Some people want a penthouse. Others want the entire city to know they have one.

At 33 Park Row, 15-foot ceilings, a 600-square-foot terrace, and views over City Hall Park make a rather convincing argument.

Four bedrooms. Six bathrooms. Absolutely no reason to be modest.

A little Budapest. A little Vienna. A great deal of walking, architecture, and the occasional reminder that New York isn’t the only city with good taste.

Europe, you’re making a compelling argument. by @carolyntfox

18 signed contracts. $185 million in volume.

The takeaway? Luxury buyers aren’t waiting for permission to spend.

They’re waiting for something worth spending on.

As September comes to a close, I’m reminded of something... this is the time of year New Yorkers stop postponing the lives they came here to build.

That is the fall market.

Remember, the second buyer doesn’t change the apartment. They change the first buyer’s confidence.

16 signed contracts. $210 million in signed deals.

The takeaway? People think luxury buyers purchase certainty... I don’t. They purchase conviction.

This week’s open house lesson?

Buyers don’t compete with the apartment, they compete with each other.

Some apartments negotiate. The exceptional ones wait.
