The only thing more impressive than Ivans emigration from conflict-weary Serbia and swift rise to the top of New York Citys real estate industry is the extent to which he pays it forward to others.

An economics whiz who left much behind for a better life, Ivan understands the promise of the worlds greatest city better than most. Now a senior-level agent at Spire (managing luxury sales, rentals, and investment properties) and senior partner at subsidiary Corporate Relocation Group, Ivan is a virtual ambassador for national and international clients seeking to relocate to and within New York City.

My clients count on me for exceptional deals and seamless support  along with everything they need for an extraordinary life in New York City, explains Ivan. Ive done it the hard way so they wont have to."

Often this entails clever concierge planning, thorny issue management, and even fundraising assistance for clients in need. Most partnerships will endure for a lifetime. But for this grateful New Yorker, its all a labor of love.

Ivan speaks several languages including English, German, and Italian, and holds a Masters Degree in Economics.
