This week on Closed!, we’re joined by Eric Anton–commercial real estate broker at Marcus & Millichap and treasurer of Defend NYC– to discuss the intersection of New York City’s mayoral election and the real estate market. With crime, safety, and affordability dominating the campaign, the outcome of this election will have a profound impact on the city’s future.
Eric walks us through how candidates’ policies could shape the market, from proposals around rent freezes to law-and-order priorities, and explains why real estate professionals are watching this race so closely. We also delve into the role of political engagement through organizations like Defend NYC, the current recovery trends in the market post-COVID, and what these shifts mean for residents, investors and developers alike.
If you’ve been following the election – or if you’re just trying to understand how politics and real estate collide in New York City – this episode offers key insights on what’s at stake.

What does this mean? Simply this: when you engage us, we are fully invested in arriving at the best possible outcome for you. Advocating for your interests becomes our number one priority from the moment you call us until long after the contract is signed or decision rendered.
The purchase or sale of real estate is a major financial transaction in a person or company’s life. A real estate transaction is a contract where the terms of the documents will determine your rights, so it is essential to take an aggressive approach to the negotiation and drafting of these documents. Failing to do so could cause the loss of significant value and may bind you to unfavorable terms.
Especially in a high-priced market such as NYC, it is important to approach these transactions with help from a dedicated attorney. Property transactions require disciplined attention to detail as well as in-depth knowledge of the law. Let a New York City real estate lawyer protect your rights and preserve your best interests.
