Claudine O'Rourke | New York City Real Estate Agent

What clinches a real-estate deal in Manhattan. The five boroughs don’t negotiate themselves, and Claudine O’Rourke shows up where the leverage hides: Midtown’s 10 East 53rd Street sits between Fifth Avenue and Madison, a corridor where listings change hands in whispers before the market even opens.

A licensed agent who trades on velocity, she bridges the gap between a quick close and a strategic move. Take a cooperative conversion, a pied-à-terre search, or a portfolio refresh—each transaction starts with the same raw materials: square footage, board minutes, and timing. If you’re swapping leases to freeholds, targeting a single-family pied-à-terre in a co-op’s least buzzy corner, or hunting brownstone renovations with air-rights intact, the same downtown dollars rarely behave the same way uptown. Call (917) 673-0860 and let the market noise drop to a dial tone.

Head east on 53rd, hop off at Fifth, ride the elevator to the fifth floor, and you’re already standing closer to a deal than you were on the sidewalk. Slide the unit number your way before the open-house doors fold shut—directions are waiting at https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25976541c8eb9:0x822babe47e051604.
