It's been said it's better to be the second wife, and the third agent

But being the 6th listing agent can be even better. Case in point, the current listing at 41 Alpine Road, under new brokership for just 38 days at $8.995 million, is now pending.

it’s been a long road for this place: it started 16 years ago in 2005 at $21 million, went through five previous brokers and eleven price changes (including the failed strategy of raising the price in 2011 from $18.5 to $21 million) before landing at this price and this agent.

Congratulations, Ms. Agent: this just might have been the top runner in the oldest inventory in town category.
