OUR

Philosophy

We prioritize our clients’ needs, ensuring each decision is guided by integrity, honesty, and unparalleled market knowledge.

Len Bromberg

President

A 25-year real estate veteran, Len began his career at Douglas Elliman where he earned consistent recognition as a top broker. His notable deals included selling the largest penthouse in Tribeca, several highest price per square foot sales across Manhattan, and the largest commercial leasing deal for Elliman. After 22 years developing his expertise in both commercial and residential real estate, Len decided it was time to venture out on his own.

In 2019 Len started Balen Real Estate with a 3-point vision: to market like a billion-dollar company, service clients like they are family, and guide his agents to their full potential. He is supported by a superstar team working as a cohesive unit. And the results? Within 3 years of Balen’s lifespan, Len has achieved a 600% growth of earnings. He is the exclusive sales and rental agent for several buildings across Manhattan, totaling over 400 units. He successfully sold the remaining sponsor units of a Chelsea co-op for the highest price per square foot in downtown Manhattan.

Len gives his clients the kind of unparalleled service and passion that only comes from a boutique brokerage, and that one-on-one relationship continues well after closing.
