Brown Harris Stevens’s Bess Freedman on being a perpetual student; her romance with New York City; and how we can take our power and use it to help those who have less.

In this episode of your city or mine?, Julio meets Bess Freedman, CEO of Brown Harris Stevens, one of the largest privately-owned real estate companies in the US. As the market recovers from the pandemic, Bess talks about how our housing needs have changed; about why Bill de Blasio has failed New York as its mayor and what’s needed next; about how we can all use our power to help others; and about why she’d like to give every single nurse and teacher in NYC a 25% raise. Plus, Julio speaks to Maria José Gómez, editor of Time Out Barcelona, about the latest trends in the city.
