As a top-selling Associate Broker with extensive experience representing some of New York City’s finest properties, Ted Karagannis combines a notable design background with an innate gift for connecting with people. Ted’s ability to understand his client’s needs enables him to consistently deliver results that exceed expectations. As a native New Yorker with almost twenty years of experience in the local real estate industry, Ted is extremely adept at guiding buyers and sellers through all the stages of a home transaction, from listing/first viewing to the closing table.
Known for providing unparalleled service to every client who calls upon his expertise, Ted’s dedication and knowledge have earned him a reputation as an accomplished broker in luxury co-op, condominium, townhouse, and loft sales throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, as well as fine properties elsewhere in the Tri-State area. For the past 18 years, Ted has been integrally involved in everything from acquisition and planning to marketing, branding, and sales of luxury property. On the buy side, Ted has been helping individual buyers, sellers, and investors realize their unique real estate goals with his market knowledge and savvy negotiating skills. Ted is also highly experienced and adept when it comes to the intricacies of high-profile conversion projects, new developments, and sponsor representation.

AS an Interior Designer for many notable personalities, Ted has both a talent and a passion for turning promising places into the most unique living spaces. “Every apartment has its own distinct charm,” notes Ted, a big believer in “staging” apartments for sale. Ted has assembled a large team of attorneys, mortgage specialists, appraisers, and stagers who work with him on every transaction he manages. If your transaction involves working with estates or trusts, valuing fine art and furniture, or executing a successful staging, Ted has a highly successful and trusted network to help.
A resident of Downtown, Ted has enjoyed observing the ever-changing landscape of his home town for many years.
