New technology brings business opportunities for Terra Holdings.

Terra Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Brown Harris Stevens, Halstead Property and Halstead/Feathered Nest, currently ranks as Manhattan's largest privately owned real estate company, with a full time senior management team dedicated to growing the firm through an extensive technology platform and database of residential listings. The firm's advanced, proprietary information-sharing system continues to identify and drive new business opportunities.

According to Jim Cahill, executive vice president and Director of Technology at Terra Holdings, "Our technology platform is one of the firm's largest assets, and a continued source of return on investment. Our technology positively differentiates us from other firms in terms of our sophistication -- and allows our seasoned managers to grow the business. No other firm can match our ability to provide detailed listing information on over 10,000 Manhattan apartment luxury residences. Instant access to photos, floor plans and detailed listings, coupled with an extensive history of closed sales information, provides our brokers with an unmatched tool for helping our clients."

Terra Holdings has maintained its reputation for excellence through sophisticated management practices, and the unique way it helps brokers perform their jobs successfully - in order to meet the high expectations of the firm's discerning clients. "Our commitment to service distinguishes us as Manhattan's largest privately owned real estate company. A firm is only as strong as its management team, and we are committed to maintaining a level of hands-on service to our clients that is unprecedented elsewhere," said Arthur Zeckendorf, cochairman Terra Holdings.

Terra Holdings has created new Web sites for its two residential brokerage firms, Brown Harris Stevens and Halstead Property Company. The Web sites can be viewed at www.brownharrisstevens.co and www.halstead.com. Terra Holdings has also developed technology to enable it to electronically share its listing, database with other firms in the residential brokerage industry.
