George R. Penny

For over 30 years, George has been actively engaged in the sale of properties in and around Manhattan. He comes from a real estate family: his mother worked with a prominent NYC developer and his father owned a fire protection company in NYC and Long Island. It is no surprise, then, that George knows buildings from basement to penthouse. He draws upon his extensive experience to help his buyers successfully find and then smoothly close on their new dream home. Of course, George also knows how to effectively work with sellers, walking them through the creative and complex steps required in a successful sale.

George started his real estate career in 1982, working as an on-site agent in new construction/condominium sales at the Columbia Condominium on West 96th Street. Subsequently, he became the manager of multiple on-site cooperative conversions in Manhattan, Queens, Riverdale, Westchester, and New Jersey. He has overseen the entire sales process on numerous projects, including the property renovations.
George specializes on Manhattan's East Side, West Side, Midtown, Uptown, and his own neighborhood of Murray Hill. He is a member of the Manhattan Association of Cabaret & Clubs and has assisted many performing artists and club owners in finding or profiting from their homes. Also, he belongs to The Brain Injury Association of New York State.

When time permits, George likes to spend time at his favorite getaways, a cottage in the Camden/Rockport area of Maine and a home in Bucharest, Romania.

Since 2004 he has partnered with his wife, Mariana "Ina" Gheviza working different aspects of each transaction with professionalism and competence. One or both of them is always available to assist you in the process for a smooth and successful transaction.
