Compass, the leading real estate tech company, announces the arrival of top Warburg/Coldwell Banker agents Allison Chiaramonte and Tania Friedland. As partners, they specialize in New York luxury real estate and are known for their acute market expertise, personalized approach, and innovative and editorial marketing, influenced by their distinguished art, fashion, and commercial real estate backgrounds. Their move to Compass comes at a time when the company has continued to invest heavily in technology to modernize the home selling and buying process.
“We felt like now was the right time in our careers to join a thriving national brand that is building the future of real estate through technology that will allow us to offer more bespoke and true value-add services to our sophisticated and savvy clients,” said Allison Chiaramonte. “Joining Compass allows us to continue our high-touch service to our clients with the utmost attention to detail while gaining access to tools to work smarter and a prime referral network.”
As Warburg’s top producing agent in 2019 and an experienced leader, Allison knows what it takes to negotiate a deal and achieve superior results. The native New Yorker who attended The Spence School and the University of Pennsylvania before getting her MBA at Columbia University. She started her career in investment sales, brokering over $10 billion in commercial real estate, including Stuyvesant Town’s sale, the largest real estate sale in U.S. history. Since then, she has stayed atop company, city, and national residential real estate rankings. Most recently, she ranked ninetieth in New York City among top real estate professionals by sales volume in The Thousand, the prestigious annual awards ranking by REAL Trends.
Tania Friedland, a perennial top producer who has closed over $1 billion in sales throughout her decade-plus real estate career. Together, Allison and Tania are moving to Compass to expand their already fruitful partnership. Widely respected in the industry as a deal maker, Tania is known for her keen negotiation style, acute attention to detail, and superlative aesthetic sense which translates into the most sophisticated marketing. Tania is a graduate of The Chapin School, The Baldwin School, and Barnard College at Columbia University where she studied art history. Today, she combines her passion for design, architecture, and art with real estate.
“I have a strong appreciation for the arts and pride myself in providing elevated service to my clients that play upon my strengths and education in the arts,” said Tania. “Partnering with Compass will allow us to spend more time with our clients and go above and beyond our current successes.”
Throughout their partnership, Allison and Tania have been no strangers to headlines – both generate media coverage regularly around their record-breaking deals, market insights, and more. For example, they recently sold 895 Park Ave, PHA, an expansive 14-room apartment cooperative once owned by Leonard Bernstein, and set the sales records for the highest price per square feet for both 2 and 3 bedroom units at the landmarked Manhattan House at 200 E 66th Street.
Sarah Minton, who currently works with the power duo at Warburg/Coldwell Banker is excited to be also joining Compass. The team will look to take advantage of a rejuvenated market in the city. According to Compass Q3 2021 Manhattan Residential Market Report, sales prices have started to recover from the pandemic-induced downward trend. Allison, Tania, and Sarah see the recovery continuing as many New Yorkers upgrade to larger units, and people from the West Coast and tri-state area look for pieds-à-terre. In addition, the team has recently received a jump in inquiries from international buyers in lieu of covid-era travel restrictions coming to an end next month.
The team will work out of the 851 Madison Ave office.
