Netflix’s ‘Owning Manhattan‘ showcases some of the top real estate agents at SERHANT, offering glimpses into their personal and professional lives. While excelling in their careers, the agents operate at various levels. Among them is Nile Lundgren, one of the most experienced agents and a close ally of Ryan Serhant. His feature on the show highlighted his impressive business acumen. With years of experience handling the most luxurious estates and high-net-worth clients, Nile’s understanding of the intricate nuances of the business made him an indispensable asset to the firm.
Nile Lundgren is One of SERHANT’s Leading Agent
Nile Lundgren faced his first major challenge when he and Chloe had to pitch to a client together. While Nile was confident that such a high-value building would undoubtedly be his, he was stunned when the client chose Chloe instead. Ryan reassured Nile that it was just one business deal and there would be many more opportunities. These opportunities came quickly when he secured the listing for a penthouse in the Central Park Tower, the world’s highest residential tower. Ryan assembled some of his best agents, including Nile, believing that if anyone could sell the penthouse, it would be Nile.
Nile started working diligently to sell the penthouse. He understood that only billionaires—approximately 3,000 worldwide—would be interested in such an estate, and the key to reaching them was through their close associates. With his eye on the $10 million commission, Nile focused on networking and spreading the word about the listing. Recognizing the contributions of agents like Nile, Ryan took them out for a private dinner and gave them gifts to show his appreciation. Nile, in turn, acknowledged the potential for growth alongside Ryan and vowed to sell the Central Park Tower penthouse sooner rather than later.
