It takes a village to raise seven children while building a thriving design and real estate business in New York City.<\/p>\n
Just ask Bob and Cortney Novogratz, the couple behind the book, “The Novogratz Chronicles,” which tells their story over the past three decades.<\/p>\n
Their latest project is a 197-year-old townhouse on Waverly Place, which they’ve transformed into a stunning residence.<\/p>\n
Bob and Cortney’s successful home renovating and real estate business has been a collaboration of hard work, good eye, and a little bit of luck.<\/p>\n
“A lot of years and experience went into building this perfect house,” said Bob.<\/p>\n
The couple’s typical day involves juggling family life with their work in real estate, design, and renovating homes.<\/p>\n
“We’re semi-nomadic, moving from one place to another, renovating, and then flipping the property,” said Bob.<\/p>\n
The Novogratz’s book, “The Novogratz Chronicles,” is a guide to building your dream home, covering topics such as finding the right property, securing financing, and assembling a team.<\/p>\n
They also emphasize the importance of being flexible and adaptable, as well as having a good eye for design.<\/p>\n
“When we buy a property, we always look for a good layout, something that can be reprogrammed and repurposed,” said Cortney.<\/p>\n
Despite the many challenges of living and working in New York City, the Novogratzes believe it’s the best city in the world.<\/p>\n
“There’s nowhere else to be. New York has the culture, the energy, the lifestyle,” said Bob.<\/p>\n
They also believe that with great wealth comes great responsibility, and that New York City is a place where anyone can make a difference.<\/p>\n
