Luis Vazquez is a quintessential New Yorker.

Luis, born and raised here, got a very early start in working with major players that make up Manhattan. Graduating from Baruch College with a BBA degree in Accounting, he?s very accustomed to being within easy reach of the city?s pulse -- Wall Street, Midtown and the world?s most renowned corporations.

Luis began his career in entertainment at CBS and Telemundo as a consultant and followed that up by playing a vital analytical role while working as a Vice President at Citicorp Real Estate for 11 years.

Parlaying his impressive financial experience into executive positions with some of the city?s top real estate firms and banking institutions, he brings that expertise, along with a keen sense of market trends and a vast knowledge of Manhattan to Keller Williams NYC. As Vice-President of Sales, Luis understands that clients not only need an agent who hears what they want, but listens to what they have to say.

From individuals to multi-billion dollar companies, Luis has helped his clients make sound decisions investing in and buying real estate for almost 15 years. His counsel has resulted in those clients finding their dream home and/or realizing enormous returns on investment. He prides himself on guiding clients through the buying and selling process, using not only his sales prowess and proven strategies, but a compassion and dedication to ensuring each receive his unmitigated attention -- every step of the way.

Luis is also actively involved in Manhattan?s real estate market through various venues -- as a contributor to Downtown Magazine where he writes about ?All Things Real Estate.? Within a year, he has also developed a large and loyal following from companies and individuals (including the New York Times, Downtown Alliance, Downtown Magazine, DNAInfo, Curbed New York, 9/11 Memorial and the Manhattan Borough President?s Office) for his ?FiDi (Financial District) Fan Page on Facebook. His reputation and dedication to his beloved city have awarded him notable favor among his peers; he has applied to be appointed to a position on Manhattan?s Community Board 1.

When Luis has downtime, he volunteers at the 9/11 Memorial and takes advantage of Manhattan?s beautiful scenery and parks. An avid runner, he has completed the New York Marathon twice and participates in 200-mile relay races across the country. He frequently immerses himself in the culture of his city by attending Manhattan?s vast array of cultural venues and exploring the phenomenal architecture that line the streets. He also makes time to travel to exotic destinations but finds he can?t stay away too long from where his home and heart is -- New York City.

Luis lives with his spouse and their Tibetan Terrier, Fiesta, in the Financial District.
