You can connect directly with Bob— http://www.truist.com/bob.hall — Relocating to New York City isn’t just a move—it’s a complete shift in how you live, spend, and make decisions. In this episode of Moving Medicine, Zoe Taylor is joined by Ryan Garson, a New York City-based real estate agent and entrepreneur, to unpack what physician families should realistically expect when entering one of the most competitive housing markets in the country. Ryan walks through the structure of NYC real estate—from co-ops and condos to rentals—and explains why financial requirements, board approvals, and limited inventory can make the process more complex than most markets physicians are used to. They discuss the importance of proximity to work, lifestyle tradeoffs, and what it actually looks like to raise a family in New York City. The conversation also shifts into Ryan’s entrepreneurial approach and how he’s leveraging artificial intelligence to improve efficiency, enhance client communication, and create content at scale. From custom GPT workflows to automation tools, Ryan shares how AI is becoming a competitive advantage in modern business. This episode is both a practical guide for physician families considering NYC—and a broader conversation about working smarter in today’s landscape.
