Greetings from Tokyo

by Peter Comitini
The Sakura {cherry blossoms} came into full bloom upon our arrival last Thursday, a full week ahead of schedule. Watching then or "hamami", is a national rite of spring here, and people came out in droves last weekend to celebrate their short-lived beauty, eat and drink with their friends & family. I'm on vacation until April 16th and will be posting photos here until I return.

My new report card

by Peter Comitini
I was talking with an agent from another company recently. I mentioned to him that it was going to be one of the busiest weeks of my year, with five transactions closing in five days. He asked the obvious business question, "How much will you be making?" to which I honestly answered, "I have no idea". It's truly a blind spot in my vision. I'm a classically left brained person, far more interested in processes than numbers.

by Peter Comitini
Last week, the New York Times ran a Real Estate section cover story called "Agents of Angst" which became one of the most talked about articles this week among agents. Author Vivian S. Toy's piece opens with a huge pull-quote about national Harris poll from July 2006 which actually ranked the relative perception of the "prestige" of 23 professions. Real Estate Agents ranked at the bottom.

a day in the life: sleepwalking from home to ground zero

by Peter Comitini
There are a few stories I want to share with you this month that got away until now; and maybe that's good, as it gives me a moment to step back to form a larger context in which to place them. They all took place on January 18th and involved things which I blogged about recently. There is a common thread running through the stories, of buildings as the focal point of larger personal and public issues. On that day; I sold the home I grew up in, saw Doug Aitken's 'sleepwalkers' at MoMA, and heard a radical vision for the redevelopment of ground-zero.

Sleepwalkers on 53rd Street

by Peter Comitini
One of the the events that I'm looking forward to this month is an interplay of art, architecture and city life. Doug Aitken's 'sleepwalkers' is an enormous public work, that will be projected onto eight facades of the MoMA building.
