Success Behind The Numbers
The Unfiltered Truth About Leading in NYC Real Estate #37
In Episode 37 of The Success Behind The Numbers, I sit down with Andrew Ziff—Team Leader, Managing Partner, and Founder of NY Living Solutions at Keller Williams NYC. 🎙️🌆
Andrew’s path to real estate was anything but traditional—and that’s what makes his story so powerful. From his early days as a personal trainer and car salesman to becoming a top-producing team leader and KW NYC partner, Andrew's story is a masterclass in betting on yourself, embracing the grind, and never losing sight of your “why.”
We talk about the lessons that shaped his rise—from mastering the art of the close in his early sales jobs to building one of Manhattan’s most collaborative real estate teams. Andrew shares how mentorship, consistency, and a people-first approach became the foundation of his success and leadership.
This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to lead with purpose, adapt in a competitive market, and create a business that lasts. If you’ve ever wondered how great leaders grow by lifting others along the way, Andrew’s journey is one you won’t want to miss.
