Bio
Lazaro "Laz" Rivero credits his success to his ability to handle even the most stressful situations with genuine care and diligence. Starting out his career in the hospitality industry, Laz spent over 14 years in hospitality. Today, Laz serves as a licensed real estate salesperson with Ideal Properties Group, a place he proudly calls his second home.
Proud of his 100% Cuban heritage, Laz grew up in New Jersey, right across the Hudson River. At the young age of 19, Laz officially started his career, holding various front office positions at hotels in New York City over the course of fourteen years, first at the Loews NY Hotel followed by The London NYC Hotel, previously known as the RHIGA Royal. As both his experience and expertise grew within the industry, so did his role at The London NYC Hotel. Laz was quickly promoted to VIP manager and then later to Senior VIP Manager. In this position, Laz stood as the liaison between the hotel and all of its VIP guests, which included celebrities, dignitaries and professional athletes. “My entire life was dedicated to the hospitality industry,” Laz states when asked about his career before real estate, “but everyone did always tell me that I should get into sales.”
Looking for a change, Laz packed up and moved to Brooklyn - first living in Williamsburg, Cobble Hill, Ditmas Park and now he resides in Prospect Heights. Along with his change in location, Laz was also looking for a change in career. “There are so many real estate firms in New York, so it was clear that something big was happening within that industry,” Rivero states of why he chose to get into real estate. “I didn’t want to miss anything and I was ready to jump right in.
Laz also believes that his love for Brooklyn has played a large role in his success with Ideal Properties Group. Laz states: “I truly love working in Brooklyn. I wouldn’t leave it for anything."
