Get to Know Adam Feinberg
Adam Feinberg combines more than 16 years of capital markets experience with a passion for educating clients about Manhattan real estate. Before becoming a real estate advisor, he consulted with investment banks, hedge funds, and a global derivatives exchange, and later managed professional development programs within investment banking. Today, he applies that same analytical and educational approach to help buyers, sellers, and investors make informed real estate decisions.
A Manhattan condominium owner for 20+ years, Adam also served more than a decade on the Board of Managers for his Hamilton Heights building, including terms as Treasurer and President. His experience provides clients with practical insight into financial, governance, and operational issues that can affect condominium ownership and property values.
While Adam assists clients throughout Manhattan, he has become particularly known for his expertise in the Upper West Side and Upper Manhattan. He regularly advises on neighborhood-specific topics such as HDFC cooperatives, 421-a tax abatements, townhouse valuation, SRO buildings, and financing challenges involving unwarrantable condominiums.
Adam is the author of multiple buyer’s guides covering HDFC’s, Townhouses, Investors and is the creator and host of Harlem Stories, a podcast exploring the people, culture, history, architecture, and real estate of Upper Manhattan.
Whether through advising, educational guides, or the Harlem Stories podcast, Adam's mission is to give clients the knowledge and confidence to make informed real estate decisions in one of the world's most complex housing markets.

| When I was looking to buy my first home about three years ago I asked Adam for his assistance. I had no idea how much I would come to rely on his judgement. I trusted his opinion with everything from the need for repairs to navigating through the purchase process. Buying your first home is one of the most stressful financial moves you can make. Adam was able to guide me through the process while informing me along the way, reducing my fears and building my confidence. Adam is professional, informed and will always tell you what you need to know. Three years later I am a very satisfied home owner, thanks to Adam. The only thing I regret is not having the opportunity to have him as my agent |

| Adam is the president of my condo board and has done an impressive job of juggling several highly complex projects over the past couple of years. He always responds to my inquiries within a day with very thorough explanations. |

| I've known Adam for a number of years in the capacity of him being the president of a condo association. In that time it has become evident that his knowledge of the local market and attention to detail in legal matters regarding condo ownership and NY city rules and regulations are unsurpassed. Adam supervised and managed a number of large projects for the building in question so has a very good idea of what to look for and who to go to regarding building and construction quality. Adam also managed the finances and accounting for the building so has in depth knowledge of what to look for when ascertaining the financials of a property and is a trustworthy and honest person. |

| Adam was the building president at a condo I own in Washington Heights. He was highly trusted in the role, based on his concern for the building, careful attention to detail, and comprehensive knowledge of the legal matters facing the owners. He moved to the area some years before myself, and has an enthusiasm for the area - he's always happy to discuss the evolution of the neighborhood, based on the Columbia expansion, arrival of new restaurants, etc. I'm happy to recommend Adam |

| Adam has been the president of the condo board in the building in which we live for many years. During that time he has overseen the many structurally complicated, costly repairs that our building community has had to address. He has diligently shouldered this job, bringing his significant financial and real estate knowledge to the task. Adam is a hard worker and an excellent communicator, particularly evident in dealing with many city agencies, building contractors, and a condo community who came to rely on his guidance with increasing confidence and appreciation. I can only imagine that he will bring the same dedication, intelligence and expertise to a real estate buyer. We have been very lucky to have him at the helm during this difficult time. |

| Adam Feinberg has helped our condo navigate through a very difficult period which was plagued with financial, legal and logistical difficulty. He worked very hard to help instilling disciplines and building consensus among the owners to restore our building back to health. I highly recommend Mr. Feinberg as a real estate professional. |

| Adam has been the president of our condo board for years. He volunteered to lead the board to rectify several challenging and outstanding building problems. Under his careful and tireless leadership he has resolved our issues. I give him my highest recommendation. He is detail-oriented, knowledgeable (i.e. developers, codes, etc.), committed, reliable and responsive. |
