Candid and forthcoming are traits that accurately describe native New Yorker and veteran real estate agent Tony Lara. Growing up in the tri­state area and eventually graduating from John Jay College with a degree in psychology, New York City is in Tony’s blood. As former corporate recruiter in technology and finance, Tony refined his negotiating skills by accurately placing candidates within fortune 500 firms. This experience also led Tony to discover that he possesses a rare ability to find “the perfect fit” for the people he represents. Tony yields a genuine curiosity about the history and architecture of New York. He craves knowledge, driving him to consume every ounce of literature he can find pertaining to real estate and the great city of New York. This pedantic approach has proven to be an invaluable resource to his clients and the ONY team as a whole. As the newest member to join the Owning New York team Tony uses his vast array of knowledge and passion for real estate for the edification of his clients. His ability to exceed the expectations has set him apart from his colleagues and led him to the ONY team at Corcoran. His natural leadership skills put his buyers at ease as he guides them through the city he loves. Tony Lara recognizes that a large part of what makes New York City the cultural mecca that it is, are the people in it. He is an avid supporter of the arts in every form; whether it be theatre, music, street performers, or visual arts.
