Episode 34: Amir Korangy, Founder of The Real Deal: The Pandemic, Black Lives Matter Movement, NYC Protests, & The COVID19 Pandemic

The Founder of The Real Deal Amir Korangy joins me on The Real Takk Podcast. The Real Deal is a media, publication & events company with a focus on covering residential & commercial real estate news, politics, & history of the NYC, South Florida, Chicago, LA, & the tri-state markets. (also important to note that Since the pandemic, The Real Deal's traffic has gone up 40% to over 4.2M visitors a month (2.8M uniques!)

We discuss his thoughts on COVID19 impacting NYC, The Black Lives Matters movement, where we stand in this historical period, and knocks out some tough questions thrown at him as head of the largest real estate publication firm.

Amir was born in Tehran, Iran. where his family left after the Islamic Revolution as political refugees and spent time in Paris and Madrid before settling in the Washington DC area. Amir started The Real Deal out of his Brooklyn apartment nearly 20 years ago, shortly before he was joined by his Editor in Chief Stuart Elliot. The Real Deal’s first hit the map when Donald Trump responded to an article from a previous issue by ripping out the page and hand wrote: “why all the anger, Stuart, love the Donald” to your Brooklyn office. (this was in response to an article about developers saying Donald wasn’t a “real developer” before the launch of his reality TV show) Amir has a lengthy list of accolades and to mention a few, he was listed in The New York Observer's Power 100 list of the most powerful people in New York Real Estate, in 2013, Inman News named Amir as one of the 100 Most Influential Real Estate Leaders in the Media category, & in 2012, he was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the YJP Young Jewish Professionals.
