What Quality Living does

Quality Living (legal entity Quality Living Village Inc., DBA Quality Living Inc. and Quality Living Properties) is a privately held, owner-operated New York City real estate brokerage founded in 1994. The firm provides residential and commercial brokerage services — primarily apartment rentals, with adjacent sales and commercial listing capabilities — to individuals, families, investors, and corporate clients seeking property in NYC. It is family-controlled, with the Arbib family holding ownership and key management roles, and is described as one of the city's largest owner-operated real estate companies approaching its 30th year in business.

The firm operates from two Manhattan offices — an Uptown office at 2350 Broadway (at 86th Street) serving Upper West Side and northern Manhattan, and a Downtown office at 155 West 72nd Street serving central and southern Manhattan — with agent coverage extending to Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Its core technology is a RealtyMX-powered website platform that provides property search portals for rentals, sales, and commercial listings, along with saved-search email alerts, agent profile pages, and neighborhood information. The platform is a third-party product rather than a proprietary build, and supports conventional features such as listing details pages, virtual tour links, and contact-agent forms.

The business model is transaction-fee commission based. Agents earn commissions on completed rentals, sales, and commercial transactions, with the company earning its share via commission splits. Pricing varies materially by property type and neighborhood: rental listings on the site range from approximately $2,000 per month (Brooklyn 1BR) to $26,000 per month (Upper West Side 5BR), and sales prices vary by property. Customer segments are organized horizontally across residential property seekers (primary), commercial clients, and investment property clients, with relocation services (both private and corporate) offered as a distinct higher-touch product line. Lead generation is driven by the company website (described as generating daily leads), open houses, and agent referrals.
