Over a decade of expertise navigating Manhattan's competitive landscape — with the market knowledge, network, and negotiation instincts to deliver extraordinary results.
With over a decade of New York City real estate experience, William McLarnon is one of those rare individuals whose passion and vocation are truly one in the same.
William's combination of deep market experience, proven sales background, and an enviable New York City network — combined with his outgoing yet low-key demeanor — makes him a superior negotiator in NYC's vast real estate market. His focus spans Central Park, Flatiron, NoMad, and all of downtown Manhattan, with successful transactions across every borough.
Before real estate, William had a remarkable multi-chapter career. He was an in-demand model whose work included Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis, Timex, Bloomingdales, and Kohls, and he appeared in Vogue Italia, Cosmopolitan, and ID Magazine — traveling the globe and building an unmatched personal network across New York's most influential circles. Prior to modeling, he rose through the ranks of the telecommunications industry to senior management, developing the client-first discipline that defines his work today.
William grew up near Cherry Hill, New Jersey, spent several years in South Florida, and now resides in the West Village.

William's path to becoming one of Manhattan's premier agents was anything but ordinary — and every chapter has made him a better advocate for his clients.
William specializes across the full length of lower and midtown Manhattan. Here's an insider perspective on the neighborhoods he knows best.
NoMad and Flatiron have emerged as the most dynamic corridor in Manhattan real estate. Once defined by the iconic Flatiron Building and its surrounding tech hub, the neighborhood has evolved into a destination for ultra-luxury condos, world-class dining, and a walkable lifestyle that draws both young professionals and established buyers alike.
William holds the all-time highest condo sale record at 50 Madison Avenue — a testament to his deep relationships and market mastery in this submarket.
The Financial District has undergone one of New York's most remarkable transformations — from a neighborhood that emptied after 5pm to a vibrant 24-hour community of luxury high-rises, converted landmarked buildings, and a booming rental market. Its skyline views and waterfront proximity are unmatched in Manhattan.
William set the record for the highest rental ever achieved in the Financial District — a $75,000/month penthouse at 130 William Street — demonstrating his command of this rapidly appreciating submarket.
Chelsea remains one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses — home to the world's premier gallery district, the transformative High Line park, and Hudson Yards, the city's newest luxury development. Its rare mix of pre-war townhouses, modern glass condos, and the constant cultural energy of a neighborhood that never stops reinventing itself draws buyers from across the world.
William's neighboring residence in the West Village gives him an intimate, street-level understanding of this entire western corridor — from the meatpacking district north through Chelsea and into Hudson Yards.
Tribeca consistently ranks as Manhattan's most expensive neighborhood per square foot — and for good reason. Its cobblestone streets, cast-iron landmarked lofts, Michelin-starred restaurants, and unparalleled privacy attract the city's most discerning residents. From Robert De Niro to Jay-Z, Tribeca has long been the address of New York's elite.
Inventory here is exceptionally limited and deals are rarely public. William's network provides access to off-market opportunities in this ultra-competitive submarket.
The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic Manhattan living. Park Avenue co-ops, Museum Mile, and Central Park access define a neighborhood where lineage and discretion are paramount. The recent Second Avenue Subway expansion has injected new energy and value into the area's eastern reaches.
William's team at Corcoran's East Side office is ideally positioned — literally and professionally — to serve buyers and sellers across the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks.
The West Village is the rare Manhattan neighborhood that feels genuinely human — cobblestone streets, Federal-era townhouses, boutique restaurants, and an intimate scale that no other part of the city can replicate. Demand perpetually outstrips supply, making it one of the most competitive markets in New York.
William calls the West Village home. There's no substitute for living and breathing a neighborhood every day — and it shows in his ability to identify exceptional value and move decisively before properties reach the broader market.
SoHo's iconic cast-iron architecture — the largest concentration in the world — creates a backdrop unlike anything else in Manhattan. Grand lofts with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and original timber beams command some of the highest per-square-foot prices in the city. The neighborhood's global name recognition makes it perpetually attractive to international buyers.
The conversion of former industrial buildings into extraordinary residential lofts remains one of New York's great architectural stories, and SoHo is where that story is best told.
Midtown Manhattan has been redefined by Billionaires' Row — the supertall sliver towers of 57th Street where William achieved a $24M sale at 111 West 57th Street. Beyond the headline towers, Midtown offers unrivaled transit access, proximity to Central Park, and a thriving luxury condo market that attracts global investors and pied-à-terre buyers.
For buyers seeking maximum prestige, Manhattan skyline views from hundreds of feet up, and the convenience of a central location, Midtown's new ultra-luxury product is unmatched anywhere in the world.
The Upper West Side offers a quality of life that few neighborhoods anywhere can match — Central Park on one side, Riverside Park on the other, and Lincoln Center in between. Pre-war co-ops and condos along Central Park West and Riverside Drive are among the most architecturally distinguished apartments in Manhattan, offering scale and detail that new construction simply cannot replicate.
Families, academics, artists, and long-term Manhattan residents are drawn to the UWS for its intellectual character, top-tier schools, and a genuine sense of community that persists despite its central location.
William's client-first philosophy has earned him lasting relationships and repeat business across Manhattan's most competitive neighborhoods.
