In a market where top talent is as coveted as trophy listings, Coldwell Banker Warburg (CBW) has scored a double win — bringing on two of New York’s top-producing teams, each with more than a quarter of a billion in sales. The Asset Advisory Team and the Waterview Advisory Group join from Elegran Real Estate, adding serious firepower to CBW’s ever-growing roster.
It’s a big get — and not just for CBW. In the last few months alone, 25 agents have joined the century-old luxury brokerage from Elegran and other top firms, a testament to the draw of CBW’s culture, reputation, and reach.
“The fact that they’ve chosen CBW as their next home is a testament to the culture we’ve built, the standards we uphold, and the future we’re creating together,” says Kevelyn Guzman, Regional Vice President of Coldwell Banker Warburg.
Meet The Asset Advisory Team: Precision, Performance, and a Proven Track Record
Led by co-founders Ashley Reidy Quinn and Nick Montalbano, The Asset Advisory Team has closed more than $250 million in lifetime sales across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons. Known for their high-touch service and precision execution, Quinn and Montalbano balance complementary skill sets: Quinn drives operations, marketing, and client experience, while Montalbano leads sales strategy and business development.
Quinn’s career took off in her very first year, when she earned the Real Estate Board of New York’s coveted Rental Deal of the Year award. Montalbano’s transactional range spans trophy addresses like 212 Fifth Avenue and 33 East 74th Street.
“We’re confident this move represents the best path forward — not only for our clients, but also for the continued growth and success of our team,” say Quinn and Montalbano.
Team members include:
John David Henning: Digital marketing strategist turned real estate pro, with a flair for storytelling that sells.
Allie Dornier: Third-generation real estate talent and skilled negotiator, equally at home in property management and high-stakes sales.
Meet The Waterview Advisory Group: Data-Driven Strategy with a Human Touch

Specializing in upscale townhouses, new developments, and multifamily properties, Garcia’s team blends investment-grade analysis with an understanding of the emotional side of buying and selling.
“Joining Coldwell Banker Warburg gives us the ability to maintain a specialized boutique approach, while accessing a behemoth of a global network of real estate resources,” Garcia explains.
Team members include:
William Yau: Fluent in Mandarin, with a background negotiating multi-million-dollar media investments for Fortune 500 companies.
Nikita Idiri: Fluent in French and Russian, with nearly a decade of experience from Manhattan penthouses to Hamptons waterfront estates.
A Strategic Win in a Competitive Market
These two teams join recent Elegran transplants Gina Conzo, Jarrod Duncan, and John Cella — further proof that CBW is becoming a destination brokerage for top-tier talent.As Guzman explains it, CBW's appeal isn’t just rooted in its century-long legacy or even its reputation as one of New York City’s top-ten residential brokerages (per The Real Deal’s annual rankings). It’s also about "creating a future where exceptional agents can grow their business at scale, without losing the personal touch that defines their success."
