A Harlem resident for over five years (where he has bought
and sold several properties), Eric 
McLendon
knows the real estate market from a personal investment
standpoint as well as a professional one. Currently a
realtor with the Corcoran Group in New York City with
a focus on Harlem, Mr. McLendon covers properties throughout
Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. His specialties include
real estate, home renovation, brownstone and townhouse
living, and sports.
Originally from Chicago, Eric earned a Bachelor of Science
in Broadcast Journalism from Texas Christian University.
After fourteen years of experience in broadcast journalism
including positions as a news producer for ABC-News and
sports producer for KDFW-TV in Dallas, Mr. McLendon discovered
other ways to make friends with the camera as an accomplished
actor on daytime dramas. Currently the host of his own
show on the Food Network, "Recipe for Success,"
Mr. McLendon's acting credits include NBC's "Law
and Order" and "Law and Order Criminal Intent,"
CBS's "Guiding Light," ABC's "All My Children,"
and a recurring role as Officer Steve Madison on "One
Life to Live." He has recorded numerous radio voice-overs
as well as TV commercials for dozens of national companies.
Mr. McLendon has been awarded numerous honors related
to both real estate and acting. In 2007, he was elected
to serve on Corcoran's Advisory Council and was voted
the 2007 "Rookie on the Move." He has been nominated
for three television news Emmy awards and is the recipient
of four awards from the National Black Journalist Society.
With real estate always his deepest passion, Eric began
investing and later sought to share his expertise with
others as a residential agent. His market knowledge, attentive
service, informative advice, and personable nature not
only endear him to clients, but make the real estate process
both enjoyable and successful to buyers and sellers alike.
When not hard at work helping others with their real
estate business, Mr. McLendon can be found in the throes
of renovating his own home in Harlem. His other interests
include live jazz concerts, golf, sports, reading, and
the diversity that is New York City.
