Residential Rental

Finding an apartment in New York can be frustrating and time consuming, but exhilarating at the same time. Jorge Vegas job is to find you the best apartment in your budget as quickly as possible, all the while making the experience enlightening and enjoyable. A real estate specialist for over seven years, Jorge is very knowledgeable of the Manhattan market and able to navigate through the complexities to achieve smooth, satisfying deals. His reward is not only great results and relationships with clients, but lots of referrals that are a testament to his service. I love when my clients tell me theyre thrilled with the apartment I found them, and that I made the process fun, which is just as important. Jorge grew up in Guatemala until age eight, lived in Los Angeles, CA until age 11, and in Canton, Ohio until age 25. He earned a degree in Psychology from the University of Akron. He came to New York City in 1996 and has lived in various vibrant neighborhoods, from Greenpoint, Park Slope and Sunset Park in Brooklyn to Long Island City, his current home. Jorge started his career as a Sous chef, inspired by his father, a master chef. However his passion was to be a musician. Jorge played drums since age 10, and ultimately was part of a band that signed with a major label and toured the U.S. and Europe. Prior to entering real estate and hitting rental records with a top NYC brokerage team, he worked in sales for the famous Brooklyn Brewery.
