The Zaken Team

Midtown’s high-rise pulse meets street-level grit around 53rd and 5th, where the skyline feels like it’s still deciding what it wants to be. The Zaken Team sits right in that crosscurrent on the 16th floor at 10 E 53rd St, handling a thick slice of the city’s real estate action. Whether your goal is to relocate within Manhattan, flip a co-op into a condo, or chase down a rental that doesn’t ask for three broker fees, the group keeps things moving across sales, leases, and advisory deals. They also specialize in new-development representation, guiding buyers through the maze of sponsor packages and offering plans.

The address alone tells you everything you need to know about reach: 10 E 53rd St 16th floor New York, NY 10022. From Midtown East to the East Village, the footprint covers more turf than most boutique shops, yet the work stays granular enough to notice the difference between a pre-war walk-up and a gut-renovated loft. For investors eyeing value-add plays, the same line handles short-term rental regulations and condo board approvals without blinking.

Call them at (516) 457-7743 and you’ll skip the usual voicemail carousel; someone familiar with your target neighborhood answers within a reasonable window. The Zaken Team doesn’t just hand over listings; they parse the fine print on tax abatements, zoning overlays, and transfer fees so you don’t have to.

If the fifth-floor walk-up in Murray Hill or the glass tower in Hudson Yards ever needs a second set of eyes, grab the directions and take the elevator up.
