32 Points at Compass

The name “32 Points” comes from the cartographer’s Compass Rose, sometimes called a Rose of the Winds. The points of the Compass Rose represent infinite possibility, discovery, and awakening. The symbol signifies independence, opportunity, trust, exploration, and navigation to a port in a storm. These are the values we and our clients hold dear.

32 Points is a hybrid team that specializes in both residential and commercial real estate. Founded in June of 2020 by experienced professionals Nadine Nassar and Don Burroughs, the team has since garnered ten passionate, committed, and highly skilled members. With diverse backgrounds and unique areas of expertise, our team brings a well-rounded and adaptable perspective to every transaction. With over thirty years of collective experience under our belt, our team is uniquely equipped to meet a vast array of client needs: whether seeking to invest, buying a home, opening a business, or hoping to rent, we have the knowledge and instincts to advise and close successfully. In every client relationship, we value open communication, rapport, and trust above all else, and will always prioritize people over profit.

Nadine Nassar (she/her) co-founded 32 Points in June of 2020 and brought on her partner and friend Don Burroughs shortly thereafter. Together, they seek to create a professional collective of like minds where aligned business values and kindred spirits can converge. As a team leader, Nadine values camaraderie and creativity coupled with hard work and efficiency. The result is a team of real estate professionals who truly love what they do, and do it well.

With over twenty years of experience in international marketing, strategic planning, and finance with an innate purpose to help people, real estate came naturally. As head of 32 Points, Nadine specializes in investment sales, commercial leasing, and residential resale transactions. She is especially known for her encyclopedic knowledge and in-depth understanding of every step of the sales process. She is fluent in French and Arabic and has a passion for art, maps, humanist issues, and everything epicurean.

Don Burroughs (he/him) joined the 32 Points team as a partner in the summer of 2020. After spending ten years at a successful uptown boutique firm, where he served on the ethics committee and repeatedly achieved top earner status in both sales and rentals, Don saw the opportunity to build upon his success and start something dynamic and new. 32 Points is a collective, collaborative team committed to serving the best interests of their clientele. With integrity, creativity, and perseverance as his guiding principles, Don’s high touch approach helps clients navigate every step. From studio apartments to multi-million dollar homes, Don makes it happen.

Ian Smith (he/him) joined the 32 Points team in the fall of 2020 after working with founders Nadine and Don for two and a half years at a boutique firm in Uptown Manhattan. Ian works in residential and commercial sales and leasing, and serves as a portfolio manager for the team’s landlord accounts. He spearheads the use of tech solutions to streamline leasing and provide unique metric reporting that help management and ownerships make informed decisions. He is a born-and-raised New Yorker with a passion for helping people uncover the best answer to their real estate question by using local knowledge, market data, and tech solutions. Ian grew up and currently lives in Hudson Heights, and can be found most weekends biking down to Absolute Bagels on 108th and Broadway, the best bagel shop in NYC, no doubt.

Amy Le Blanc (they/them) is one of the original members of the 32 Points team. They have a longstanding professional relationship with the team’s founders, Don and Nadine, and jumped at the opportunity to grow their career in a supportive and collaborative environment. Now an Associate Broker, they have the experience and tools required to assist a wide range of people with their real estate needs, both residential or commercial. In their downtime, Amy can be found snuggled up with a dog, trying teas from all over the world, or diving into a fantastic work of fiction.

Jazmin Martinez (she/her) is a Harlem native through and through, and is constantly rediscovering what it is that makes New York home. After graduating with an Early Childhood Education degree, she quickly realized she yearned for more. Jazmin served as administrative assistant at a boutique firm in 2019, and joined 32 Points as an agent in February 2020. Having already established a great relationship with her team leaders, Nadine and Don, Jazmin knew 32 Points was the perfect place for her to begin her career as an agent. She hasn’t looked back since. Jazmin is known for her quiet confidence, her attention to detail, and her tenacity to see any transaction through to closing. She is constantly looking to listen, grow, and expand her skillset. At 32 Points, Jazmin specializes in residential and commercial sales.
