The New York Observer, with it’s new ownership, has devoted the back portion of its publication to real estate coverage which has a lot of good stuff and has garnered a lot of attention in the process. One way to do this is to publish a list…

Here’s the list
The 100 Most Powerful People in New York Real Estate

I made 87th, which is both flattering and surreal since the diversity and quality of accomplishments runs the spectrum. So I think this is a good thing? Hey, I am the only appraiser on the list.

>87
>Jonathan Miller
>President and CEO of Miller Samuel

>His huge market reports for Elliman can stir up exhilaration or dread about the state of the city, the kind of thing that makes or breaks a bubble. Plus, his firm did $5 billion in Manhattan evaluations last year, which means there’s a relatively good chance he’s appraised you.

My profile is one of the few without a picture, but they use my eye in the center of the cover of today’s paper (inside the first “0” of “The 100”). 😉

Spoken like an 87th ranked individual…

Ok, back to work.

    Is the feeling like that of a law student making the “Law Review”.

    Jonathan, if you don’t mind my saying so, that’s awesome!

    (I’ve been one of your lurking readers for a while and I thought I needed to voice myself here and share in the excitement)

    Thanks Ricardo! It’s always fun, but dangerous to start believing the headlines.

    Congratulations! To be honest, I had no idea who you were 🙂

    (I’m not a big RE person, more into personal finance… but perhaps one day 🙂 )
