The Observer recounts some of late Post real estate gossip Braden Keil's biggest scoops, asking the brokers involved what they thought at the time. "He knew about the deal before I did," said Elliman's Leonard Steinberg about the $26 million Jon Bon Jovi penthouse deal that Steinberg himself brokered. Said Brown Harris Stevens' Wilbur Gonzalez: "I still remember so clearly (literally 10 years ago) taking Jennifer Lopez into a loft on Reade Street at 1 a.m. to avoid any drama (she was with Ben Affleck at the time). We did a super-quick quiet deal. Before they even moved in, Braden was calling me asking why she chose Reade Street. I was floored." [NYO]
