He is a good architect with a number of years as a Project Architect on many top projects at the Pei firm. For this reason, I believe the building deserves a little extra consideration.. most likely some worthwhile construction details here as there should be in this price range.

Let’s hope that the consumer’s interests are respected here and we get a decision that is pro-competition and pro-market efficiency.

It was especially encouraging that Judge Sand did not take the easy way out and dismiss the conspiracy claims in the wake of the Supreme COurt's ruling in Leegin. Once BrokersNYC wins its case, this will pave the way for sellers of NYC real estate to go after the big game: the 6% commission.
