Tyler is no stranger to the public eye after starring on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York, and currently co-hosting the hit real estate and mindset podcast, Glitter and Gay, with real estate celebrity, Glennda Baker. He is a seasoned real estate professional with over a decade of experience helping people find homes in NYC. Originally from the south, Tyler moved to New York with big dreams of living an entrepreneurial life. After a disappointing experience working with a broker to find his first Manhattan home, he knew that NYC was the area where he could make a positive impact on a large scale. Tyler believes that buying, selling, or renting a home should be one of life’s best experiences. He now splits his time between NYC and Sag Harbor where he also leads our first expansion team in The Hamptons.

In his real estate career thus far, Tyler has not only worked as an agent; he was Triplemint’s original Head of Sales. He joined The Agency because he holds the same mission, that of greatly improving the real estate experience. After several years on the company’s leadership team where he trained and coached agents through thousands of rentals and sales, Tyler now leads the top-producing sales team at The Agency New York. The Whitman Team is one of the most talented and dynamic real estate teams in all of NYC and The Hamptons, known for their analytical skills, generosity, and ability to make real estate a fun experience.

In his free time, Tyler has become an avid equestrian and is the loving parent to his two dogs, Peggy and Peter, and his horse, Quinaro. When he’s not selling, you can almost always find Tyler at the farm in Bridgehampton training with his horse for all of the competitions they compete in around the country. Tyler loves enjoying the lifestyles offered by two of the most incredible places in the world. Fabulous dining and a night at the Theatre while in the city, or a day at one of the stunning Hampton beaches while out east are both at the top of the list of what makes him so passionate about selling the markets where he specializes and loves calling home.
