When mega-selling agents Oren and Tal Alexander of The Alexander Team left Douglas Elliman last June to co-found a new brokerage, they vowed they would do things differently.
Now their new firm Official — which focuses on residential real estate deals for ultra high net worth clients, including Hollywood names — is rolling out what they see as a new model for growth.
Unveiled today, Prodigy — spearheaded by Official co-founder Nicole Oge, the brokerage’s chief growth officer — is a data-driven, invitation-only recruitment tool that evaluates potential new talent for the company amid the wide sea of real estate agents in the United States, where an estimated three million people have an active real-estate license.
Official says it doesn’t want to grow large in terms of the number of agents at the brokerage. Instead, with its focus on the very tip-top of the luxury real estate market — among Official’s current...

Less than three months after its public debut, the “anti-woke” banking startup GloriFi is canceling itself.
The company has laid off employees and informed them the end is nigh, via an email from Chief Marketing Officer Cathy Landtrop obtained by the Wall Street Journal. Landroop cited “financial challenges related to startup mistakes, the failing economy, reputational attacks, and multiple negative stories,” as reasons for the downfall.
The Journal reports the company’s fate was sealed Friday when a funding arrangement fell through.

It’s the morning after Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign announcement and major donors are already running for the hills.

Elon Musk has subpoenaed Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey in the lawsuit between the social media platform and the billionaire Tesla founded that once wanted to buy it.
A flurry of subpoenas by both sides have been landing regularly in Delaware Chancery Court ever since a judge, or chancellor as they’re called in the nation’s busiest business tribunal, set an October trial date.
Twitter sued Musk last month after he tore up an agreement he’d made in late April to buy the company for 44 billion, or 54.20 a share, cash. There was a 1 billion breakup fee, but Twitter says that’s only if one party reneges for good cause. Its lawsuit claimed the termination was due to buyer’s remorse, which would not apply. Musk has accused Twitter of under-reporting the number of fake or spam accounts on its site. The Musk camp has filed a counter-suit against Twitter.

Eric Adams has been elected the 110th Mayor of New York City.
Facing Republican rival and Guardian Angel founder Curtis Sliwa in Tuesday’s vote, the former New York Police Department captain and longtime Brooklyn borough president was declared the winner by AP at 9:10 Pm Et — that’s literally mere minutes after the polls closed at 9 Pm Et.
Even before his very strong win was proclaimed and right as polls closed, odds on favorite Adams took to social media to de facto declare victory:
The polls are officially closed in NYC.
To our supporters, volunteers & endorsers of all backgrounds, faiths & from every corner of NYC: Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for being a part of our team.

Michael Bloomberg today announced the second Bloomberg Global Business Forum will be held in New York City on September 26th at the Plaza Hotel during the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the daylong forum is the sole convening dedicated to encouraging presidents, prime ministers and CEOs to collaborate on trade issues by reaching a better understanding of one another’s challenges and mutual opportunities, thereby strengthening global economic prosperity. With protectionism on the rise – as well as worldwide population growth, economic inequality and climate change threats – it has never been more important for the world’s public and private sector leaders to uncover common goals and engage in economic diplomacy to promote continued globalization, innovation and competition.
