About David Wagenheim

Broker of the Year - East Side Office | 2015, 2017 Producers Council - Top 2% of the company Diamond Club Member - ($10M+) It is often said, find what you love to do, and you will never work a day in your life. I feel blessed and grateful that my passion in life is something that allows me to fulfill other peoples dreams by finding them their perfect home. The icing on the cake is that I get to do it in one of the most exciting cities in the world, New York City. I have continually been recognized as a top producer in my office, was once again named the number one agent for gross commissions, am a member of the prestigious Producers Council placing me in the top 2% company-wide, as well as Halstead's Diamond Club which is for agents that have sold properties of $10M or more. With over 15 years of experience I have worked with first time home buyers as well as seasoned buyers. I have helped my clients sell and purchase condos, co-ops, and lofts throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. What sets me apart is that I treat each and every transaction as if it was my own money. Furthermore, when you hire me, you are getting me and not an assistant. I am present and available to you each and every step of the way seven days a week. I am also adept at working with foreign clients having been the exclusive real estate agent for over a decade for several relocation companies working with such prestigious firms as LOreal, BNP Paribas Bank, Fortis Bank, JWT Advertising, KPMG, and Anheuser Busch, to name a few. Additionally, I have represented landlords as the exclusive agent for numerous rental buildings, as well as individual investors.What I love most about what I do, is that no day is ever the same. I have gotten to meet and work with fun and interesting people from all over the world. From students, to families, to CEOs, to celebrities there is no greater joy for me than to walk around this great city looking at some of the most amazing properties anywhere until we find you the right one. In addition to getting you the best deal, my goal is to make the process fun and stress free. I mean come on were looking at real estate in New York City! How fun is that!! Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I was raised in Buffalo, New York and then Maplewood, New Jersey from the time I was 8 years old. I graduated Rutgers University with a Liberal Arts degree. Though I have always been drawn to sales, I took a detour when I moved to Miami, Florida and pursued both acting and producing in film and television in the Hispanic market. Being fluent in Spanish I worked in commercials, soap operas, a sitcom, as well as produced a Spanish language cooking show with Latin celebrities and personalities. That experience led me back to New York City where I became a freelance entertainment reporter for the Spanish language network Univision, where I interviewed actors, producers, and directors in both Spanish and English. Eventually my true calling came beckoning and I found myself answering an ad for an assistant to a top producer at a real estate firm. I have never looked back. When I am not working, I love to read, watch films, and travel. I am a bit of a beach junkie, so any destination with sun, ocean and sand makes me happy. I have been in New York City since 2002, and though I have helped my clients sell and purchase their homes in almost every neighborhood, my family and I reside and call the Upper West Side home. I am proud to say that all of my business has been referral based. I look forward to working with you. Halstead Manhattan, LLC
