The Real Deal columnist Erik Engquist joins Shaun Riney and Seth Glasser for an inside look at one of the country’s leading real estate news outlets. Erik shares how he finds stories, develops sources, and brings context to an industry often reduced to headlines.
The discussion focuses on the disconnect between NYC’s housing politics and the economics of running multifamily buildings. From rent stabilization and renovation costs to Mamdani’s housing agenda, they explore why policies intended to protect tenants can discourage investment—and what it might take to bring vacant apartments back to market.
Erik also traces his path from Brooklyn community newspapers to Crain’s and The Real Deal, explains how reelection pressures shape housing policy, and shares why owners need to tell their stories if they want to change the conversation.
