This highly respected real estate team, comprising award-winning broker Arlene Weidberg and her accomplished partner Ira Weidberg, has sold in many of the city's most prestigious buildings and orchestrated seamless transactions for both prominent buyers and sellers. Their foremost goal is to translate their expertise into success for their loyal clientele, whose needs span from the Financial District to the Upper East and West Sides, as well as burgeoning neighborhoods across the metro area.

The Weidberg Team's diverse background in real estate brokerage, management, finance, advertising, and law arms them with unique expertise that is well-rounded and invaluable in all aspects of a real estate transaction. Arlene and Ira continually uphold a client-first philosophy that is evident in their excellent track record.

Arlene Weidberg

Whether clients are seeking or selling a home Uptown or Downtown, on the East or West Side, Arlene is the ultimate go-to professional for the most comprehensive, results-driven service. Her dedication, diligence, integrity, and attention to detail that have won her industry recognition have, more importantly, brought her an ongoing stream of referrals and repeat business from satisfied clients with whom she has great relationships.

Ira Weidberg

"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it," said Oprah Winfrey, while preparing for her first marathon. After completing 12 marathons from New York to Berlin, Ira Weidberg certainly has what it takes–persistence, dedication, and determination–to not only finish a 26.2 mile race, but to also accomplish any task in front of him. His competitive nature and drive to succeed are passionately employed as a real estate broker who will do what it takes to achieve your buying or selling goals.

Ira demonstrated these capabilities working alongside his veteran parents in the residential real estate business for many years. He handled all areas of real estate, from answering phones in high school to managing open houses, listings, and showings as an Associate Broker. Ira also gained expertise as a practicing attorney in New York, New Jersey, and Washington, DC, complementing his vast knowledge of the real estate market and enabling him to help all his buyers and sellers to navigate their real estate transactions.

Born on the Upper East Side, Ira has lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn, developing a deep love of the architecture, infrastructure, and grandness of New York City. Currently residing downtown in the booming Financial District, he provides clients a thorough knowledge of most neighborhoods, with valuable insight on the amenities, restaurants, retail, cultural, entertainment, and recreational options each unique area offers.

Ira graduated magna cum laude with membership in Phi Beta Kappa Society, with a B.A. degree in Communications and a B.S. degree in Government from the University of Texas at Austin. He is also a member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. Ira went on to receive his J.D. from Brooklyn Law School. He worked as an attorney for 10 years in corporate law and compliance and is a member of the New York, New Jersey, and District of Columbia Bar Associations.

Besides being an avid runner in marathons as well as around Central Park, Prospect Park, and the outer loop of Manhattan, Ira is highly committed to charitable causes. He helped to establish the American Cancer Society’s marathon running program in New York that has raised over $11 million. He also serves on the Junior Board of the American Cancer Society Young Professionals Network and is a volunteer at Hope Lodge Manhattan. Ira is President of the NY chapter of the Texas Exes Alumni of the University of Texas at Austin. He is also a travel enthusiast who has already conquered all 50 of the United States and has ventured all over Europe and Asia from Iceland to China, and is always looking for the next exciting adventure.
