Sean Cohane is a notable real estate broker and developer in New York, specializing in Manhattan and Brooklyn. He currently works for Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Services.

A Boston College graduate from Rhode Island, Sean Cohane--whose expertise includes multifamily buildings in Harlem--has worked in the commercial real estate sector for over five years. He originally chose to broker deals uptown because of the neighborhood’s growing real estate velocity. Cohane saw much opportunity to add value to and stabilize the buildings, and has achieved a successful career since then. He originally chose to deal in multifamily housing because of the ability to increase the value of a property. Although he has brokered deals within the office and retail sector, he finds little possibility of upping property value as leases prohibit rent raises.

His ability to negotiate deals in uncertain market conditions is evident through his notable sales (including a recent 52-unit building in Harlem), and when asked about his strategy, he simply replies that one has to be on top all the information that is out there. Cohane believes that educating oneself on the economy as a whole is a necessity, as it can affect the potential value added to a building. More specifically, his strategy is finding the best ways possible to add value to a property in a tricky market.
