Raised internationally and comfortable communicating in five languages, Tony Sargent brings nearly two decades of experience with the New York luxury real estate market to the table, customizing his approach for each individual client.
Confidentiality, access and creative problem-solving combined with a financial advisor's approach to guiding high net worth clients through the New York buying or selling process, draws many of the globe's top business and entertainment clients, as well as their financial advisors to Tony. Flying under the radar, he works collaboratively with the city's top agents to put together significant on and off-market transactions for his clients, with the utmost of confidentiality. This defining character combined with his immense knowledge and solution-based approach earns him many clients and referrals.
Empathy: moving homes many times across continents in his youth strengthened Tony’s listening skills, making him highly sensitive to his clients’ needs—whether buyers or sellers—and drives his tireless work ethic to smoothly deliver the best results.
A specialist in complex contract negotiation, Tony’s deep familiarity with luxury properties combined with his positive connections with New York's best brokers ensures that his clients gain early access to the best properties in New York and are empowered by his deep insights into the market to make their buying or selling decisions confidently.
With more than $500 million in property sales—many at record prices—Tony consistently ranks among the top 3 percent of brokers in Manhattan. Strong connections with a global network of top attorneys, brokers, and other industry professionals allow him to make the buying and selling process as seamless as possible, particularly for people moving to or from New York.
An accomplished photographer and painter, Tony’s natural eye for design and staging, has delivered six figures extra in returns for his sellers due to his adept ability to highlight a property’s signature features uniquely, increasing buyer demand. Buyers frequently compliment his ability to perfectly match their needs, and his exceptional service is supported by a 90 percent referral rate.
A business graduate of Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School, Tony started his CMU track in engineering but found business and finance more suited his strong left-right brain dynamics. To get his start in New York, he cold called the head of Dun & Bradstreet's Internal Audit Department while still in university to set up the interview, was selected as only three of fifty candidates, and that delivered him his first job in New York City where he moved to from Switzerland. From there he worked his way up in finance and then at 31 became the General Manager of a successful hip-hop music label based in London and New York. In his free time, he enjoys traveling and is a globally sought-after public speaker.
Tony is a member of NYRAC (New York Real Estate Continuum) and REBNY and accredited as an NYRS associate broker.
