STATEN ISLAND — He's been named the city's best amateur skateboarder, has a prestigious sponsorship deal with DC shoes and has been featured in Transworld Skateboarding magazine.
But instead of skating on the pro-circuit, Staten Islander Leo Heinert, 23, spends his days showing New Yorkers Brooklyn apartments.
Since his mother moved back to Ecuador, Heinert has been working as a real estate agent for Nooklyn to pay for the mortgage of his Westerleigh home.
When he's not skating, he's showing homes in neighborhoods like Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy.
And while he said skateboarding is his life and he'll never give it up, he said he loves helping people find a new place to live and the hustle of running around the city to finalize deals.
