    My Little Black Book 1 3 Tips To Using My Little Black Book 1. DON’T JUST SEND YOUR SCRIPT TO EVERYONE. Do research on which Producers are most likely to produce your show. Find out what Producers have done shows similar to yours. Try to get to know them first, even if just online, so that they’ll be more like- ly to read your script. Targeted approaches are much more successful than blanket approaches. 2. DO INCLUDE A COVER NOTE. Make it short, simple and unique. Show a bit of your personality. Get them saying, “I want to get to know this person more . “ They’ll do that by cracking open your script. 3. FINALLY, DON’T TELL ANYONE WHERE YOU GOT THIS INFO. This is my little black book. I’m giving it to you because you’re a TheaterMaker. Many Producers might not want this info out there. So let’s keep this our little secret. :-) 2 My Little Black Book Randy Adams Tracy S.

  • Luxuryletter April 2018.Key
    a 72 Mercer St, PENTHOUSE W SOHO WWW.THELEONARDSTEINBERGTEAM.COM NEW: TROPHY FIFTH AVENUE DUPLEX LUXURYLETTER APRIL 2018 Irrational Luxuberance There is really no great explanation why the wealthiest people in the world - much wealthier now than at any other time in history - are not buying more luxury real estate than ever before. Interest rates, while rising, are low, many prices are down off their (asking) highs, sellers are more inclined to negotiate on price and there are more options to choose from……although in some areas there are shortages. But yes, there are some reasons to explain why the luxury market is not faring as well as it ought to be: • Pricing escalated too far too fast. Buyer fatigue caused markets to pause and when they did, some sellers blinked causing more downward price adjustments. • Sellers were spoiled by the speed of sales: now that has normalized, yet it still feels very slow compared to the Studio-54-style pace of 2014-2016. • Most buyers between 2012 and 2015 saw an almost certain upside in buying…..these same people don’t want to take a loss buying now in case they can buy later for less. • Many buyers between 2010 and 2015 were buying purely for investment purposes: who wants to buy an investment apartment in a market where there are many price drops? Which investor likes buying in a market where rental returns are a bit depressed, especially if they can wait? The few smart, non-herd-mentality investors though are buying now because they have better choices and can negotiate.
