Congratulations G, we are so proud of you!!!!!! 👩🏽‍🎓🎉🎈Love you @giannadalessio

It’s hard to believe this was 5 years ago, it feels like it was a different lifetime. Life is filled with a million fears and challenges, it is important to wake up every day and face them. Push yourself into the unknown, try things that scare the shit out of you, and fight to face and overcome your biggest fears. 5 years ago I never could have imagined that this life could be MINE. Living in NYC, selling Real Estate for @serhant_team, with $125M in listings, having traveled to 45 countries and in an incredible, nearly 3 year relationship 😊I have no idea where life will take me over the next five but damn am I excited for the journey 😉 P.S. taking any and all suggestions for what epic place I should skydive over next 🙃

Not only is 15 Willow St spectacular but just look at that sunset from the roof deck 😍😍 @serhant_team

We mean business 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Did you watch @ryanserhant Vlog this week about his $125M listing??? That listing is our beautiful Austin Nichols House and we are OBSESSED with it 😍 check it out on YouTube to see what goes on day to day when you live, breathe, and dream everything real estate 😍 @serhant_team @ryanserhant

Today I am feeling especially grateful. Grateful that I get to live in this beautiful city, that I have a job that I am absolutely in love with, and that I am blessed to have the most supportive boyfriend, family, friends and coworkers in the world. Today is just another gorgeous day and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this week has in store! What are you feeling grateful for today?

Happy Friday Everyone!!!! I am becoming more obsessed with Williamsburg as each day passes 😍 This is the view from our sales office at Austin Nichols House at 184 Kent Avenue. Does it get any better than this?!

What an exhilarating week!!! Not only was this week my 1 year anniversary as a member of the @serhant_team, I also closed out my 3rd Manhattan New Development project and moved on out to Williamsburg to launch Austin Nichols House, my new indefinite home 😍 With this fabulous team by my side, we are going to sell $125,000,000 in real estate, right here in this historic, beautiful, monumental building. __ 1 bedrooms start at $750K. 2 beds at $1.25M. 3 beds at $2.5M. Penthouses available by request. __ Built in 1915 as a Grocery Trade, then later converted into a Bourbon distillery, Austin Nichols House has been expertly preserved and converted into a beacon of contemporary loft living. Situated in prime Williamsburg, Austin Nichols House is one of only a few landmarked buildings nestled along the Brooklyn Waterfront offering Manhattan Skyline views, tranquil outdoor space and the North Williamsburg Ferry Landing located outside of the buildings front door. Boasting over 30,000 square feet of amenity space, residents enjoy a waterfront gym, childrens playroom, landscaped courtyard and roof deck, residents lounge with catering kitchen, co-working spaces, movie theatre, music rehearsal room, zen garden with firepit, and building garage. This is unlike any living experience New York has ever seen. __ So team, #READYSETGO #SELLITLIKESERHANT

2017 was a whirlwind and @antgrillo5 I could not have done it without you. This week it was amazing to get out of the city and spend time reflecting on the fantastic and not so great parts of this past year. I always find it easier to start with what I should have or could have done to be better, and while I know what I will be doing differently in 2018 I am also incredibly proud of what I was able to accomplish in 2017. 🌟I was honored to start the year off by participating on a panel discussing the future of women in the workplace. Last Spring I joined @ryanserhant and the Serhant Team at Nest Seekers International, soon after I came to market with 3 New Development Projects, out of which 2 are 100% occupied. This summer I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, bringing me to 45 visited countries, 6 continents and 5 world wonders and inspiring me pick up my pen and returned to travel writing on @biancastravelabcs. I also had my first two interviews and features on the front page of the New York Times and DNAinfo. I enjoyed deepening my commitment as a volunteer for the New York Junior League, supporting Anthony and the growth of American Collectors Group, and most importantly making more time for family and friends. So 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣8️⃣ are you ready to be the best year yet?!

Dream Team Holiday Party and far too much fun with the photo booth 😜 @serhant_team

Next year let’s agree on the rules for the gift exchange prior to the party #novoice #holidayparty #bestfriends ❤️🤶🏼🎁🎄

The power of positivity is EVERYTHING and even when you feel defeated you need to put another foot forward and continue to HUSTLE. November started off pretty slow for me and as Thanksgiving approached I was getting more nervous that my listings would sit on the market through the New Year. But I was determined to make sure that this would not happen - I had so much more to do before 2017 ended. I love my job because I control my success, every second of every day. I love that I get to work 7 days a week, I love that I don’t ever have to stop. I love that I get to meet new people every single day, and turn strangers into clients and then into friends. So like I said, November started out slow but by continuing to hustle by the end of the month I was able to closed deals at: 🌟336 East 54th Street #2A 🌟336 East 54th Street #2B 🌟336 East 54th Street #4A 🌟184 East 64th Street Maisonette 🌟184 East 64th Street #3 🌟184 East 64th Street #4 🌟227 East 67th Street #4 x2 In addition... 🎉 PRICE REDUCTION @ 401 East 60th Street NOW $1,995,000 🎉 Began working with a number of new AMAZING clients, who were all referred to me by friends and family 🎉 Decorated my Christmas Tree🎄, which I am obsessed with AND 🎉 Finished my Holiday shopping 🙌🏼🙌🏼 So bring it on December because I am ready to crush the last 31 days of 2017 👊🏻

Today, after 2 years I have officially returned to @biancastravelabcs and published my first post about my time in Cusco, Peru. Life has certainly changed since I started my travel blog back in 2013 but my passion for travel, inherent longing for adventure and eagerness to understand and bridge cultural differences and divides has not wavered. Life circumstances have made it challenging to find inspiration and difficult to find the right words to communicate my feelings and experiences but my time in Peru could not go unshared; it would be an injustice to myself and to my experience. I have realized that it doesn’t matter how hard and busy life gets, it is imperative to find time for the things we love. As always I appreciate those who follow along and and thank you all for the encouragement and support I needed to keep this passion of mine alive. ❤️ www.biancastravelabcs.com
