Elegran | Forbes Global Properties is pleased to announce the recent addition of Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker Christian Rogers to its team.
Rogers brings over 17 years of experience in the New York real estate market, most recently running a successful team at Compass. He got his start in the business at Mercedes Berk, a small firm that he credits for laying the foundation for his future success. From there, Rogers moved on to join Core where – for nearly a decade – he gained exposure to the new development space, working on projects such as 93 Worth, 15 Renwick, and 550 West 29th and continued to hone his resale craft at higher levels.
He is extremely grateful for the many different experiences and support he has received from his prior firms and colleagues over the years, with this transition, he hopes to make it one of giving back to the industry.
Rogers has represented over $620 million in transactions. Notably, he represented the purchaser in one of the highest-priced residential co-op purchases in New York City’s history at 944 Fifth Avenue. In addition to his impressive track record as a top-producing New York City real estate agent, Rogers is known for his incredibly high trust quotient and proven ability to build enduring relationships within the industry.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Christian for 10 years,” said Michael Rossi, CEO of Elegran | Forbes Global Properties. “When Christian expressed his interest in joining the team, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. He embodies our culture’s essence, exemplifying Elegran’s core values of motivation, innovation, and client care.”
Rogers is equally excited to join the team, highlighting his return to a boutique brokerage environment that truly incorporates unmatched international brand recognition and bandwidth, a result of their Forbes Global Properties partnership. “My ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of the Elegran and Forbes culture and network. I see tremendous potential in this collaboration. Marrying an incredibly powerful brand with boutique real estate brokerage is a win for all concerned,” said Christian. “It’s one thing if a brokerage has an international affiliate for referral purposes, but it’s another to truly build international networks and relationships based on common ground and brand.”
Looking ahead, Rogers is enthusiastic about creating comprehensive global succession plans for agents and for himself – another major differentiation point that attracted him to the firm. During his tenure at Elegran, Rogers hopes to establish a lasting legacy of value and culture that can be left behind for the benefit of the team and the broader industry.
