Real estate is not just Tiga McLoyd’s passion; it’s his life. A New York City property investor since 1992 and licensed sales/rental specialist since 1994, Tiga has been all consumed by and well connected in the Manhattan real estate market for most of his professional career. He also is a multiple property owner and landlord in his hometown Ann Arbor, Michigan, where Tiga is continually connecting graduate students from his alma mater, The University of Michigan, and others from the area with wonderful Manhattan homes. Having experienced every side of the market himself as a buyer, seller, renter, renovator and landlord, Tiga deeply understands the unique needs of his clients, as he does the priority of their investment. His “4 Walls Philosophy” drives his enthusiasm each day to find his clients that perfect haven from the hustle and bustle outside. You might even say Tiga is “obsessed” with doing the best job possible for clients; yet his motivation is also self-rewarding in that he feels it the greatest privilege to help find, fill or sell a prized property. Tiga embraces his work with excitement, enthusiasm and determination, always looking forward to the new challenge or opportunity that awaits. He is patient, even tempered, a good listener, and most important, he “gets it” when it comes to understanding people’s needs. Tiga is also highly skilled at navigating deals and effectively interacting with contractors, designers, attorneys, mortgage reps and others to ensure a smooth transaction. After graduating from The University of Michigan Business School with a dual degree in Finance and Marketing in 1991, Tiga headed straightaway to NYC has lived here ever since. Despite a short stint working with Citibank, he knew real estate was his true calling, so he began investing in Manhattan and Brooklyn properties full-time for over 11 years. His own success serves as inspiration for others. “I began investing in a down market,” says Tiga. “Times like these present the best opportunities, and put simply, no matter what the market conditions, you can’t go wrong owning real estate in New York City.” A very contented Upper West Side resident since 1991, Tiga represents customers and clients in his own neighborhood and beyond. While work is his main focus, he also enjoys music, comedy, and sports, especially when his beloved Wolverines are playing. Tiga is a big animal lover as well, and enjoys sharing his home and his heart with his loving, loyal “Rescue Dog of the Year” who he adopted from a shelter in 2000.
