Debra Stotts

2 Years at CCRNY – Over $1B Sold!

I met with David Schlamm, CEO and founder of City Connections Realty in the summer of 2021. I decided to join his company shortly thereafter along with my daughter Alana Stotts. David/CCR provides the right amount of support, allows me to operate very independently and makes it financially advantageous for my team.

Kenneth Ferman

20 Years at City Connections

I’ve been a NYC real estate agent since 2004 and have been with City Connections my entire career! David Schlamm has fostered a unique culture that teaches agents and brokers to be not only successful, but ethical to boot. He and his wonderful staff really have your back, always putting the agents first.

Wen Hsu

8 Years at City Connections

It has been a pleasure working with David in the past years. David has always been attentive to agents’ needs; I can always go to him for any issues or concerns on my transactions or just to bounce ideas. He also fosters a positive, collaborative working environment, where agents are willing to assist each other and share information.

Over the last several years I have had the opportunity to get to know David and you will not find someone more honest with how much he really cares about his firm, agents and client relationships. City. Connections gives you the freedom that is needed and the support throughout your career.

Megan Niwinski

6 Years at City Connections

David Sclamm has created an amazing environment for agents and associate brokers alike. He is professional, business savvy, kind and most importantly ethical which is near and dear to my heart. I am extremely independent when it comes to running my business and he has allowed me to continue on that path with full trust.

Herb Goldberg

16 Years at City Connections

David Schlamm is fair, honest and understands the difficulty and pitfalls of being a salesperson or broker. He’s always been there to make the transaction go smoother, not to be a further obstacle. His ability to cut through the noise and give clear advice, makes transactions so much easier than they would be otherwise.

Allison Block

18 Years at City Connections

City Connections has been my real estate home for close to 18 years and the people who work there have become my family. David Schlamm has created a different kind of firm. One that not only provides all the support one could need to run a successful business but an atmosphere that cultivates a spirit of encouragement among fellow agents.

Eighteen years ago, I joined City Connections as Senior Vice-President. David Schlamm, its founder, pioneered the high-split commission model which benefits brokers like myself every day. The story of his commitment to his hand-picked brokers is told in many ways as he provides us with support services including a variety of coaching and development opportunities.
