About our Team:
Steffan Olausson Partridge is our founder and an independent broker. His grandfather started Partridge Realty one of the first real estate offices in Astoria, Long Island City in 1957. Steffan grew up in Sweden but moved to New York 1985 and his first memories were touring his grandfathers buildings picking up candy wrappers in the lobbies and helping him to unclog toilets for his beloved tenants. As the Partridge business grew Steffan contributed to managing, developing, selling and leasing properties in and around Western Queens.
In 2007, Steffan joined the most successful Corcoran team cornering the new development market in western Queens which naturally lead him to open up a sister office to Partridge Realty for the newly emerging market in Dutch Kills and southern Astoria. HIs method of success was combining old school reputation and integrity with modern day customer service. His first boutique, Space Realty Group was also an art gallery and featured the growing community of local artists moving in to the neighborhood. Art makes your space HOME...
Best compliment he ever got: "Steffan is what I define as a *Mutated Real Estate Agent*. Let me explain: Evolution was imbalanced with real estate agents basically practicing a constant conflict of interests with clients, and notoriously being considered untrustworthy and despicable creatures. EnternSteffan Olausson Partridge - a new professional evolution. My experience with Steffan as a real estate agent has been an absolute pleasure, he managed to turn the difficult experience of apartment searching in New York to an unforgettable pleasure. For me and my wife, Steffan did not only find a home - he was home. We got a great deal - a beautiful apartment, and a beautiful friend. Steffan is an asset, he should be a professional role model. I could not recommend him enough as he is a rare individual and a fantastic service provider. One disclaimer though: After working with Steffan, your standards for a real estate agent would definitely change, and all those primitive un-mutated brokers, would seem even more slimy than ever before." - Mushon Zer-Aviv
