[Interview] Jeffrey Appel, Vice President, Bank of America Home Loans, Metro Residential TV, WPIX/11
I’ve known Jeff Appel for many years as one of the leading mortgage consultants and experts in the New York City metro area. Jeff is a Vice President at Bank of America Home Loans and co-host along with Cathy Hobbs of Metro Residential that airs 11am Sundays on WPIX Channel 11 in the NYC metro area.
Last week Jeff invited me to speak on a panel he was moderating and I thought he provided some invaluable insights on the state of the mortgage environment for residential housing so I asked him to join me on The Housing Helix.

[Interview] Orest Tomaselli, CEO, National Condo Advisors, LLC, National Condo Inspections, LLC
I really enjoyed speaking with Orest Tomaselli, CEO, National Condo Advisors, LLC about project approvals, reserve funds, Fannie Mae, FHA and shadow inventory. National Condo Advisors, LLC, is comprised of real estate finance and legal professionals and provides expert consultation to builders, developers, homeowners’ associations, institutional investors, lenders, and real estate firms.
His other firm National Condo Inspections, LLC provides services such as reserve studies, phase I environmental site assessments, noise studies, and flood zone solutions.
He’s going to be busy for a number of years.
[Interview] Erica Ferencik, Realtor, Novelist, Writer, Former Standup Comedienne
A while back, Erica Ferencik cold-called me to pitch her self-published novel as blog-worthy for Matrix called Cracks in the Foundation, a humorous story of real estate broker who has listed an outhouse for sale. She is an active real estate broker in the Boston area (including the town I grew up in, the ‘ham). She was a stand-up comedienne for 12 years as she describes, “in a prior life.” She has ghost-written several novels, writes articles for magazines and websites, is a prizewinning screenwriter and has performed several radio pieces for WGBH (Boston NPR affiliate) for “Morning Stories.”
I thought it would be fun to have a conversation with her, and of course, it was.
[Interview] Ana Maria Sencovici, Blogger, “The Apple, Peeled”, Marketer, Change Agent
I “peel the apple” with Ana Maria Sencovici of The Apple, Peeled and end up having a great conversation about helping the real estate broker move from salesperson to trusted advisor. She and her business partner Marie Espinal launched their blog and newsletter at the beginning of the year. Their focus is to provide content that their clients, who are real estate agents, can use to help them stay connected with the issues of today to be more effective.
Ana Maria is passionate about their mission (and I am paraphrasing) to elevate the level of discourse in the world of Manhattan real estate covering markets trends, real estate topics and developments with a transparent and objective lens.
I concur to the “core”.

[Interview] Jane Gladstein, President, Gladstein Development Group, LLC, Real Estate Developer
I talk “dirt” with Jane Gladstein, President of Gladstein Development Group about the process of development. Hint: it’s not all about bricks and mortar.
Jane is a 30 year veteran who has developed such notable projects as 255 Hudson, The Sycamore, Soho 25 and the award winning 505 Greenwich.
