Sean Manning

This is not the first time in Sean Manning’s fledgling career that he’s been recognized for his success. After only nine months in the business, he was only the second agent in Long Island, New York to win the Long Island Board of REALTORS Top 20 under 40. His current status as a Rookie of the Year regional finalist finds him humbled and grateful.

Manning’s background as a 17-year detective taught him to approach everything he pursues 100%. “My reputation is everything and knowing I am held to a different standard in that profession I carry myself a certain way in the real estate industry,” he explains. “Marketing in my sphere of influence and scaling business from the inside out is just as important as being a ‘people person’ and treating clients with the utmost respect. The extra level of care is paramount.”

Helping others enjoy success is a critical part of Manning’s passion for real estate. “When I am able to maximize the profit for my seller’s biggest investment or help my closest friends and complete strangers become friends after finding them their dream home, it is truly awesome,” he says. “My clients have become this new compartment in my life and ultimately they end up being my biggest referral network.”
