This could include human-nature stories on the quirky ways New Yorkers live, deep dives into controversial properties - whether the subject of litigation or lengthy spells for sale - and listings that lend themselves to long-form writing, such as those with celebrity pasts, superlative prices or deep historical ties.

+ Stay plugged in and abreast of happenings in the residential real estate industry, such as properties listing for record prices, celebrity transactions and even updates to market data, like rents rising or cooling in big national markets.
+ Report and write articles with precision and accuracy, and strong adherence to the highest professional standards
+ Attend industry events and budget time for source meetings to develop connections with brokers and publicists to keep stories coming
**Requirements:**
+ Bachelor's or Master's degree in journalism or related field
