Manhattan to Connecticut: Secrets from the Luxury Market with John Engel and Roberto Cabrera

In this episode of the Property Profits Podcast, Dave Dubeau welcomes not one, but two powerhouses of the luxury residential real estate world—Roberto Cabrera from Manhattan and John Engel from Connecticut.

Roberto shares why the Manhattan market operates in a world of its own and how co-ops and capital appreciation shape buyer behavior. Meanwhile, John explains the deep connection between New York City and surrounding markets like Fairfield County—and how his local insight and innovative marketing (including property videos and a weekly newspaper column) keeps him ahead of the game.

They also dive into:

• Why Manhattan is often counter-cyclical to national real estate trends

• The challenges facing foreign buyers in 2025

• The power of consistent newsletters, newspaper columns, and repurposed content

• How collaboration and curiosity led to their podcast Burroughs & Burbs

• What makes a real estate video stand out with 25,000+ views on YouTube
