David Wong comes with an in-depth understanding of financial markets and a keen interest in real estate. Before graduating from Monmouth University with a B.S. in Finance, he had a job offer from Goldman Sachs, where he ended up working for four years. Following that, he traded derivatives for a hedge fund with offices in New York and London. After traveling extensively for work for a number of years, David decided that he wanted to create a more permanent residence in New York. It was when he was looking for an apartment that he realized the ideal way to combine his interest in real estate, his love and knowledge of the city, and his desire to interact with clients more closely was to become a real estate agent. Very much a people-person, David enjoys meeting new and varied clients every day. He feels that his ability to build positive relationships and truly understand people’s needs is what makes him a good agent. He also loves the fact that he no longer sits at a trading desk all day, staring at six computer monitors. Instead he’s able to walk around and appreciate the city that is his home. Born and raised in Brooklyn, David now lives on the Upper East Side, and specializes in Chelsea, Flatiron, West Village, SoHo/NoHo, and TriBeCa. He’s an avid sports fan and supports pretty much every New York team.
