books. It also inspires experts in the real estate business, those who love and appreciate special properties that have their own unique story to tell, to share what makes their notion of a dream listing come true.
Molly Deegan Branch Real Estate Group My dream listing is any house that I can do a deal on within a week — it doesn’t matter what the price is. It doesn’t matter if it’s an estate, if it’s a saltbox cottage — I don’t care what it is. I’d like to have something that generates interest, that I can move very quickly, and where I can get buyer and seller from Point A to Point B. I really don’t care about the price. It’s just having something, grabbing it and moving it. That also contributes to my perception of success to others, that I can move product. That’s my dream listing right there.
Nicholas Colombos and Angela Dooley The Colombos-Dooley Team, Compass Real Estate Colombos: For us the dream home is a reality. We have one now we are currently representing. It’s 26 Cricket Lane in Kings Point. It’s a waterfront, about one and a half acres, 1.46 to be exact, 8,300 square feet, new construction built in 2020 with a walk-out lower level. The finishes are impeccable, impeccable. They had the help of Rockwell Developers with the house. And it’s an incredible, incredible waterfront. Dooley: You have Manhattan views, you have Connecticut views. It’s a very, very special property. It’s a very, very exclusive area. It’s going to take that special buyer to really appreciate this house. It’s built incredibly, the property is incredible, but it’s really about the views. You’re at the highest point in Kings Point. It is a dream listing. continued on page 24
