The following letter was shared with me. It was written by Vincent Brown, who is opening up his first laundromat, to Andrew Bermudez, Co-Founder and CEO of Digsy and Digsy AI.
Dear Mr. Bermudez,
My name Is Vincent Brown. I’m writing you to make you aware of just how fortunate you all are to have David Perlmutter as a Digsy affiliate. Just last year I found myself in a very desperate situation to find a location to build out my very first laundromat. As a first time business owner I decided (wrongly) that it would be in my best interest to find a location for my business on my own. I searched every commercial real estate website I could find with absolute zero luck. After looking for several weeks my wife noticed how frustrated I was growing and decided to contact Digsy for help. Thank God She Did.
Within a matter of minutes my phone rang and a customer service rep told that I would soon be receiving a call from David. When David called he introduced himself very professionally and was extremely patient with me as I explained my situation. Honestly, It was his confidence that we would ultimately find the perfect location that put me at ease. He mentioned that he had a couple of locations in mind and was even willing to meet me in the freezing winter cold to check them out along with me. I was immediately impressed with his level of commitment to helping me and was doubly so when he followed though and met me on time as promised. From that day forward David continued to search for the perfect location.
He contacted renters, building managers, other realtors and even spoke with my contractors to make sure the space was exactly what I was looking for. Eventually as promised David found the perfect location, 906 St. Nicholas Avenue in upper Manhattan. He and my lawyer negotiated my lease terms perfectly. He made sure to address all of my concerns and even some I didn’t even know I had.
He even bothered to take time out of his busy day to talk me down when I was stressed about my business not going as expected. I respect David, mostly because he’s always told me the truth from day one. If he thought I could be making the slightest mistake he would let me know and I would listen to him because I truly believed he’s always had my best interest at heart.
Recently I asked David why it was that he took so much time out to make sure that my situation worked out correctly and his response was simply “ That’s what I do for all of my clients”. I can’t say that I wasn’t slightly disappointed that I wasn’t special, but I can say that I believed him. He’s just that great of a guy.
I first want to thank my wife for having enough sense to pick up the phone and call Digsy but I really want to thank you for having the smarts to employ such a professional. As a side note, my business will be open and running very soon, all is well and I owe a large percentage of the credit to your company and David Perlmutter.
Thank You So Very Much.
I Wish You Much Success In The Future

We’re pleased to announce that Perlmutter Properties Inc.’s affiliate, PPI of New Jersey LLC has been given a New Jersey Real Estate Broker’s license, thanks to the efforts of Alan Zuckerman, its broker of record.
Thanks to Michael Grossman of MAG Real Estate Advisors for asking Perlmutter Properties to participate in Volunteer New York’s Giving Tuesday program. I’m looking forward to getting my hat this morning (picture coming?). My parents and grandparents set an example for me as a kid about the importance of giving back to your community. As a student in college, my favorite economics courses were the ones on the economics of lesser developed countries. One of the principles I learned then and that motivates me in how I choose to give back is that a society’s greatness is judged on the wellbeing of its least advantaged members.
One of the many great things about my father, Milton Perlmutter, is that he saw how important it was to give people the tools to better their lives. He believed that the highest form of charity was to help people to help themselves. Of all his many business accomplishments, I think that he was most proud of bringing Pathmark supermarkets to underserved communities like Bedford-Stuyvesant. Although I don’t think I’ve had that kind of life-changing impact that bringing quality food to at a competitive price to these food deserts had, I’ve always thought it important to take on listings in under-retailed communities to help bring goods and services to their members.
So, whether it is raising scholarship money to help fulfill the dreams of kids who can’t otherwise afford college, or filling needs in an underserved community, there is always an opportunity to lift up society by helping those who need it most.
Perlmutter Properties will be exhibiting at the ICSC New York National Deal Making on December 7th and 8th at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. We’ll be in Booth 368, which we are sharing with Benbrooke, Admiral Real Estate, and QuantumListing.

Perlmutter Properties is a company in transition. That’s what keeps us relevant. It’s like that old adage, the only constant is change. Commercial real estate is a dynamic industry, so once your company stops changing, you wither and ossify.
Disruption is the buzzword of the day in real estate circles, especially in the tech end of the industry. I think, though, unless you have a really low bar for what qualifies as disruption (with a few exceptions), transition is really a more relevant term.
The objective of this blog is to explore the transitions I see and have seen in the commercial real estate industry, and how Perlmutter Properties is responding to it. We’ll also explore the friction caused on the disruption/transition margin. Stay tuned, and buckle up. The ride may be bumpy, but it should interesting and fun, too.
