My name is Grant Der Manouel.

I’m Real Estate Professional and Design Consultant. I help homeowners bring their construction projects to life through visual rendering.

I’m currently available for rendering services.

After graduating with a degree in Urban Studies from Columbia University, I spent several years working in Commercial Real Estate Marketing. From there, I transitioned into Multifamily Leasing while pursuing a graduate degree in Real Estate Development at NYU, which I completed in late 2023. I have a combined 7 years of experience in New York City real estate.

I’m originally from Fresno, California, where I spent my summers in high school working with a local homebuilder in their sales offices. I hold an active California Real Estate Salesperson License and have previously represented buyers in their purchase of a new home.

I currently offer a variety of freelance services, including:

Renovation Consultation & Renderings

Are you looking to renovate your Kitchen or Bathroom? Thinking of reconfiguring an existing space in your home, or adding on? I can assist you in bringing your vision to life. We’ll start by discussing your needs and dreams for your project, after which I will get to work creating a design that works best for you. At the end of our journey, you will have a set of renderings complete with floorpans, cabinet drawings, and specifications for you to take to your builder. Renderings are created in Chief Architect Pro x16.

New Build Design & Renderings

If you’ve been interested in building a new home, I can assist you in creating a preliminary floor plan and rendering for your project. My method takes one of two approaches: starting entirely from scratch with a custom floor plan, or starting with an inspiration floor plan that we tailor to meet your individual needs.

I also offer a selection of completed plans that you can choose from if you are looking to expedite your build.

Commissions are currently limited to <2,500 square feet.

Renderings are created in Chief Architect Pro x16.

Listing Description Copy & SEO Optimization

Even the best real estate agents dread writing listing descriptions - that’s where I come in. I’ve helped real estate professionals from all over the globe create copy for their listings and marketing websites. Simply share some information about your project with me, and I will take the rest from there! Once complete, you’ll have a listing description tailored specifically for your clientele, optimized to show up in searches on Zillow and beyond.
