Simon Charles Harrison born in Cambridge Mass on Jan 30th 1964 to immigrant parents Malcolm Charles Harrison and Alison Marjorie (Pullan)

They already had Joanne Louise, (Sept 21st 1962), and subsequently had Eve Danielle Harrison in NYC July 5th 1965 (making Simon and Eve anchor babies)

They remained resident aliens as the US apparently required immigrants to swear against The Queen, which was rude.

Simon went to the Childrens Aid Society on Sullivan Street, famously across the street from a blacked out windows social club.

They placed me with 3 year old in with the four year olds, because my parents spoke proper English, so I remained a year younger than all classmates.

Then PS 41 on 11th street and 6th ave, across from the original Rays Pizza.

Then John Meltzers new school on Hudson Street, PS 3,

Then Warwick Elementary upstate for fifth grade, where the family renovated a 208 year old homestead.

After the sale, the family gravitated to the coast of Maine every summer, where they established a perfect life between greenwich village and the islands in the summer.

Simon alternated between Hamptons restaurants, NYC night clubs and white gloved catering companies like Glorious Foods, Kennedy Center, and NYU majoring in economics and finance without a degree. These activities were framed into Bright Lights in the Big City, and hangovers that normal people call an ambulance for. Simon is subtly known for his three driving awards which helped push his life in a different direction on Sept 1st 1993, ultimately qualifying him to wake up before the crack of noon almost every day since.

Licensed first through Long Island University in Southampton as a real estate agent in 1986, initially with Carl Marino at Harbor Cove Realty in Sag Harbor, then Southampton College for a NYS Brokers License a few years subsequent. Shortly after selling the office building he worked in Simon went back to school in Hollywood, taking an an additional eight college courses in CA which helped him get a CA Brokers License, and an association with Dyson & Dyson in Carlsbad, Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe. Apart from fulfilling the gold card dreams of his first wife, referred to as the Actress in the most classic of terms, Simon listed islands in Fiji right next to homes teetering over 10 lane highways. In that short tenure, Dyson & Dyson expanded throughout Southern CA and Vegas, with office meetings held at the Dog Track in Solana Beach.

Simon shook hands to buy his former firm in 2002, but was outbid by the Century 21 by a factor of three. Simon bowed out but opened across the street and a year later, gutted his old office of admin staff, and ultimately the agents and brokers migrated. His eponymous firm survived the economic collapse of 2007-2008-2009-2010 and is open today and thriving. The same can not be said for two of his former firms, both of which converted to franchises owned by Realogy, owned by parent company Apollo Global Management.

As the premier agency in Southern CA with hundreds of agents per office, Bob and Loraine Dyson then sold out to Reology that owns Coldwell Banker, (the same firm that owns Century 21 franchises), and they ultimately got fucked out of their helicopter in a spectacular bankruptcy usually reserved for The Banks of 2007.

The CV is summarized by various college courses at NYU over the course of three semesters, two weeks of a bartender course, two weeks of a salespersons course, six weeks of a brokers course in each of two states, and 35 years of successful real estate transactions. Simon and his agents and brokers have sold and rented thousands of properties, including vacant land, commercial ventures including hotels, mixed use buildings, entire subdivisions, and can boast billions of dollars in successful transactions. It is no surprise that various franchise entities have attempted to convert SimonTheBroker.com into their stable of whores.

Simon Harrison Real Estate is one of the last Independent Brokers throughout The Hamptons. The firms Main office is coincidentally on The Long Wharf, where the municipality has undergone a dramatic renovation making it the most attractive feature of Sag Harbor Village, housing the largest of oceangoing yachts and the iconic Windmill Beach at the foot of the bridge to North Haven. North Haven, Noyac and Sag Harbor area as a whole is the beating year round heart of The Hamptons.
