pop culture.


It's referencing Superman.


You could argue that Superman stems from a body of famous literary work (that is, the source comics), but that's probably not what they're looking for. As Superman is best known from a combination of comics, cinema, TV and merchandise, it's basically a pop culture reference.

mylen [45]

Answer:

Allison Block was raised in the Catskill Mountains where her mother owns a Century 21 franchise and her father was a manager of Kutsher's, the famous Borscht Belt resort upon which the film "Dirty Dancing" is based. Block grew up watching her mother do deals and learning about the hospitality business from her father, a unique combination that gave her the skillset to become the real estate professional she is today. When she moved to Manhattan in 1991 to attend New York University, a passion for exploring the city and its architecture was ignited. That, coupled with her family's background, naturally led her to a career in real estate. With more than 16 years of experience in residential sales and rentals, Block is City Connections' point person on exclusive landlord accounts. One of the things that sets Block apart is her ability to personally stage properties, which gives your listing an edge. Staging is one of the most important aspects of selling a home and can often be the difference between selling quickly at the highest price possible or sitting on the market for months. Block's staging talents have resulted in bidding wars on nearly every apartment she's sold. Block prides herself on honesty and integrity. If you want someone you can trust to seamlessly guide you through the minefield that is New York City Real Estate, Block is the agent for you.
