Daniels, Bold New York<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Michael J. Daniels specializes in Residential and Commercial sales and New Development at Bold New York, and is responsible for identifying properties and advising clients on leasing and Manhattan and Brooklyn.\u00a0His background in business began when he became a partner of an entertainment booking agency for high profile artists and the co-owner of an independent venue sales booking agency called MDA, INC., which became the driving engine for venue sales within the downtown hotel logging industry. Mr. Michael J. Daniels has been in the hotel industry for 14 years and worked in many sectors of hospitality, building a successful reputation and fostering relationships within the entertainment, hotel &amp; real estate industries.<\/p>\n<p>A native New Yorker, born in Harlem, raised in the Bronx and currently living in Brooklyn, Michael majored in Communications with a Business minor at the prestigious Howard University in Washington, D.C.\u00a0Over the years, his interest in investing in real estate and his ability to negotiate sales contracts has lead him to develop a unique skill set as an advisor in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/mason\/Commercial-for-Sale\/NY\/New-York-City\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commercial real estate sales<\/a> and leasing world.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Tell_us_a_little_bit_about_your_background_and_why_you_chose_a_career_in_real_estate\"><\/span>Q: Tell us a little bit about your background and why you chose a career in real estate.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>I chose a career in real estate because, for one, I believe in homeownership and I feel that real estate is an important industry to build a career in. My goal is to develop and build on land and to create sustainable living environments as far as clean air, clean water and non-GMO crops are concerned. I truly believe that it is our birthright to have quality of life. I feel like it&#8217;s a part of my purpose.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Do_you_have_any_mentors_people_you_look_towards_for_inspiration\"><\/span>Q: Do you have any mentors \/ people you look towards for inspiration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>My grandmother was always my inspiration, and she still is even though she is no longer here with us. There are builders and architects on my watch, for example, but I still haven&#8217;t met the man or woman that could help me fulfill my purpose or at least help me try to enhance it. Maybe I&#8217;ll be that mentor for someone!<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_do_you_think_has_made_you_successful_throughout_your_career\"><\/span>Q: What do you think has made you successful throughout your career?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Living and learning. I have been in real estate for 3 years, almost 4 years, and I have learned a lot and I am still learning. You have to be consistent, persistent and patient &#8211; learn to follow through and don&#8217;t be afraid to pick up that phone.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_would_you_describe_the_real_estate_market_in_the_US_today_in_terms_of_trends_and_challenges\"><\/span>Q: How would you describe the real estate market in the U.S. today in terms of trends and challenges?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The real estate market in New York City has appreciated on average 3% a year even when we are down, and overall we are still good. There are so many ways to skin a cat in a large metropolis like New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania or places like Ohio (Midwest or Southern Cities), well, that all depends.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_do_you_think_the_real_estate_industry_will_evolve_in_the_coming_years\"><\/span>Q: How do you think the real estate industry will evolve in the coming years?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It will evolve into creating sustainable living environments. This will be the next trend, though maybe not right now because everyone is looking to cut costs. But you will have sustainable living quarters and maybe grow crops on roofs by putting the air rights to use. Some how, some way, I want to spear-head this activity and be in the forefront of that revolution.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_are_some_things_you_do_to_keep_yourself_interested_updated_and_inspired\"><\/span>Q: What are some things you do to keep yourself interested, updated and inspired?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Read a lot, research, and have fun with real estate.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_If_you_could_give_advice_to_those_who_are_just_starting_what_would_it_be\"><\/span>Q: If you could give advice to those who are just starting, what would it be?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Don&#8217;t take yourself too seriously, but become disciplined and persistent in your work. Pick a niche; pick a neighborhood!<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_are_some_of_the_most_surprising_lessons_youve_learned_along_the_way\"><\/span>Q: What are some of the most surprising lessons you\u2019ve learned along the way?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Stay within your niche and don&#8217;t be all over the place. There is so much money to be made in your two block radius.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_would_you_recommend_to_beginners_in_the_industry\"><\/span>Q: What would you recommend to beginners in the industry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Study and learn from successful people, the ones that are successful in their own way; and if you start with residential, build relationships with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/mason\/text\/real_owner.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">owners<\/a>\/landlords &#8211; everything else is a waste of time.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Any_other_insights_youd_like_to_share\"><\/span><strong>Q: Any other insights you\u2019d like to share?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>No, I don\u2019t think so.
