Send us a text This is our first show of Season 2 where we talk to Lisa Lippman and Rob Johnson, the top agents in New York and Connecticut to get at the truth behind what just happened in 2021 and where the market is heading in 2022. The last time we talked to these agents the New York Times was writing about "The Great Collapse of 2020" saying that "rent in Manhattan had fallen to a level not seen since 2010" blah, blah, blah. Well, a lot can happen in a year. The New York and Connecticut real estate markets have been vastly altered, some say permanently, as we emerge from the pandemic with new attitudes about housing and the economy. What can we believe? Let's ask two experts in the market. Lisa Lippman has 37 listings right now, 5 of them over $10 million. Ranked #1 at Brown Harris Stevens most recently and for the last four years in a row — 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and consistently in the top 50 Brokers in the USA, she has been a top producing broker for over 23 years. Rob Johnson has 8 listings right now including the most expensive listing in New Canaan. He has been the top producing agent at Brown Harris Stevens in Greenwich for the last 3 years, as well as the top producing agent in all of Connecticut for Brown Harris Stevens in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
