But how do you give without getting scammed or going over budget? New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner Julie Menin tell us. We keep hearing that median home prices are hitting record-breaking highs in Manhattan and Brooklyn, so is there anywhere left you can still find a deal in the city? We talk with Corcoran Real Estate Group President and CEO Pamela Liebman.
