Mel Lisiten began his career in the fashion industry as a design and marketing entrepreneur with a business and art background. He soon built several fashion companies and sold them in 1978. One was the brand "Ocean Pacific". During this time, he also began investing in real estate as a hobby. After a short while, his real estate venture "Instahouse" grew to become a multi-million dollar sized company engaged in the business of purchasing, renovating, furnishing, and renting homes in both California and Colorado. Mel sold "Instahouse" Corp. in 1980. He then began consulting, for the next 10 years, to major companies in the fashion business that had brand names with global recognition. Among them Levi-Strauss, J.C.Penney, Marubeni Corp.-Japan, Lego-Sweden, The Gap, Banana Republic, Bloomingdales and others.
Mel Lisiten is now a Senior Vice President with Halstead Property, LLC. He finds it stimulating to specialize in many aspects of the industry. With his team, he deals in residential properties, condos, lofts, coops and townhouses. In his commercial endeavors, Mel has had success handling anything from theatres, hotels and restaurants, supermarkets, office spaces and retail locations. With his vast knowledge of business operations, he has also had a great deal of success in the selling of businesses. He is probably the single most successful broker selling businesses in Manhattan. In addition he is known as "Mr. Corinthian" ( condominium building at east 38th street) to his fellow agents. He always seems to have a few exclusive Corinthian and Murray Hill apartments for sale.
Mel's success can be attributed to the fact that he listens to his clients needs and like a "private eye" searches out the property for his client, or (in the case of representing the seller) markets the property rapidly and professionally, always getting the seller the best possible price.
Mel Lisiten has consistently performed within the top 20% of our agents and distinguishes himself as a condominium and commercial property specialist. He is one of the most unique Agents at Halstead Property, LLC.
