Jacqueline Kuron

My love for reading, writing and editing started at a young age. My first experience as an editor was for my high school yearbook. 

I started my career in higher education publishing in the mathematics discipline, but pivoted to a content marketing role at a real estate company. There I served as Managing Editor of a luxury lifestyle magazine where I wrote and edited content focused on the intersection of lifestyle and real estate, including design, travel and food. I also pioneered the launch of the company's premier blog to much success. 

Writing in the real estate and lifestyle space has allowed me to discover places I don't call home, to learn a business that I didn't have prior knowledge of, and to prove that I'm an agile writer that can cover many subjects.

What You Need to Know About Recent NYC Mansion Tax Changes

Recent New York City mansion tax changes may have you wondering how your home purchase will be affected. Your best resource is your real estate agent, but here are a few answers to commonly asked questions. Mansion tax is a one-time fee on the purchase of a New York City condo, co-op or townhouse sold for $1 million or more, paid by the buyer.

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a home for many buyers and can be a deciding factor on whether or not they make an offer.
