C hloé Brookham, Realto r ch loe@h omeworks.group  |  801. 652.5716   |  @rossandchloe

Chloe Brookham has worked diligently in the world of real estate since 2017. She particularly loves helping first-time home buyers with what can often be a daunting process, and she finds that this is a field where her propensity for both problem solving and design come in very handy. A previous librarian’s assistant, here you’ll find an agent who’s as well read and helpful as she is experienced. Chloe is also an avid D.I.Y.er, so you’d be hard pressed to find a project that she can’t tackle with a little time and ingenuity. Having remodeled two properties with her husband Ross, it’s her inclination to smart design that stands out in favor of her clients, and she’s happy to dispense help or fresh ideas for a project of any kind. Chloe’s typically outdoors—whether for the purpose of camping or gardening—but if she’s not in Utah’s back yard or her own, she’s probably occupied by showings, contracts, and negotiations. Lucky clients.

R oss Brookham, Assoc. Broker & R ealto r r [email protected]  |  8 01 .657.0206   | @rossandchloe

Licensed since 2016, Ross is an associate broker and determined negotiator who brings experience in all product types, from luxury homes to vacation condos and modest bungalows. He’s worked with investors for casual remodels and multi-million dollar developments, as well as individuals in all price ranges and first-time buyers with limited market knowledge, and no matter the transaction, this is an agent who prides himself on providing an elite level of service. A licensed handyman with a passion for remodeling and an eye for good design, Ross is equipped to soar well beyond client expectations, whether he’s offering complimentary staging services or pre-listing repair coordination. Having lived in Utah for more than 15 years, he’s well-acquainted with our neighborhoods and outdoor destinations, and if he’s not spreading the word about our state’s many special qualities, you’ll likely find him cooking, hosting, or pedaling around the city with his littles in tow.

Melissa Lipani , Realtor [email protected]  |   801.419.2464   |  @melissalipani

Melissa comes to real estate professionally after years as a hobbyist assisting with photography, blogging, and social media in the industry as a side hustle and means of gaining trade knowledge. Before making the official jump, she spent nearly 12 years as an animal welfare professional, where she developed lifesaving programs for shelter pets across the country while fostering hundreds of rescue dogs in her own home. A self-professed nature nerd, Melissa spends her free time climbing, mountain biking, and enjoying the mountains and deserts of Utah. This connection to the outdoors has been something of an impetus in Melissa’s desire to match buyers with a home that enables them to connect with the world outside. In doing so, she’ll utilize her expertise and client-focused energy to ensure that each client transaction be as timely as it is thorough.

Liz Elias, Realtor [email protected]  |   562.322.7955   |  @MidModUtah

Prior to moving to Utah and attaining her real estate license, Liz Elias spent 15 years in commercial property management in Southern California, and it was during this time that she glimpsed bits of the industry she would soon join. While living in Long Beach, she owned a Cliff May-designed mid-century modern home—since traded for a beautiful Ron Molen in Farmington—and her obsession was ignited. Liz became a fervent advocate for mid-century design and started @MidModUtah , a social media account with a fixed focus on bringing fellow admirers the most recent MCM listings and updates in Utah. Notwithstanding her love for mid-mod, Liz has helped folks buy and sell all styles and sizes of home, no matter the location or price. With clear communication at the top of her list, Liz guides clients toward spaces that nurture and inspire.

Since becoming a realtor full-time in 2016, Monica Dennis has amassed enough experience to stagger even the most seasoned of agents. With a sales volume of over $80 million, she understands the nuances of complex market dynamics, and her strategization and negotiation skills are astounding. Monica’s primary focus is client care, and she aims to make the process as stress-free as possible, relishing in transactional instances that see new life breathed into neglected spaces. With a degree in philosophy from the University of Utah, she originally planned on a career in law before the world of real estate captured her curiosity. Her aforementioned love of neglected spaces applies to rescues of all species, and she has a dream to one day open an animal sanctuary. Her portfolio of interests is a diverse, with a common thread throughout: Monica loves facilitating the putting down of roots.

Keni Nelson, Realtor [email protected]  |  605.929.6018 | @kenisuenelson

Originally from South Dakota, Keni Nelson has now called Salt Lake City home for a decade. To prove it, she's made it her job to know every mountain peak and downtown patio so that she can show newcomers to ensure they feel right at home. Apart from gardening and entertaining, Keni’s also working on her wine certification, but her truest passion lies in helping people accomplish their real estate goals, whether that’s putting down roots, growing their portfolio, or dabbling in both. When it comes to negotiating, Keni’s no shrinking violet: Golfing competitively in college equipped her with grace under pressure (something that comes in handy during real estate transactions). Having worked in PR, politics, event planning, and marketing, she's as driven as she is affable, and she brings both aspects to the table as she helps others find a place of their own.

Adam Compton , Realtor [email protected]  |   801.680.4361   |  @mistercompton

A quintessential people person, first and foremost, Adam's interests lie primarily in the creation and preservation of genuine human connections, both personal and professional. An active supporter of and participant in Salt Lake City’s arts and music communities, his years of enthusiastic involvement have contributed to an impressive network of local contacts. Adam's real estate resources are matched tenfold by his far-reaching familiarity with—and passion for—the Wasatch Front, and clients of his will benefit from well-informed insights on everything from neighborhoods to local businesses and ski resorts.  A balanced blend of assertiveness, sincerity, inquisitiveness, and compassion, he's a much needed addition to the world of real estate...but his highly effective negotiation skills make Adam an exceptional ally for your next transaction.

Candace Fite , Associate Broker [email protected]  |   801.389.6667   |  @fiteandco

A mystifying blend of optimism and work ethic, Candace holds a fervent passion for people. With over a decade in the industry—and her broker’s license since 2012—she has serious experience and impressive negotiation skills, but Candace holds the biggest place in her heart for connecting with humans from all walks. And, while she can say that she’s stepped foot on every continent on earth, her home in Ogden—where her husband and wee daughter reside—always calls her back. Candace revels in communication and the breaking down of barriers, and clients past and present can attest to the extra miles (both literally and figuratively) she’ll go to for them long after closing. That permanent smile is authentic, but don’t be fooled—she’s a formidable ally to have on your side of the negotiation table, and the perfect agent to get you home.

Kayla B obzien , Realtor kayla @homework s.group  |  605.440.2264   |  @segolilysalt

Equipped with a degree in business marketing from the University of Montana, Kayla is well-suited to meet the demands of even the most competitive real estate market. Here, clients will find a realtor that is not only highly acquainted with the negotiation process, but also skilled in contract execution, thanks in part to more than a decade spent in finance and business management (with a federal land management agency, no less). Though Kayla isn’t a Utah native, she’s been living like one for the last 9 years: upon moving, she made it a point to fall in love with all the requisite outdoor activities and to acquaint herself well with Utah. In exploring the Salt Lake valley in its entirety, Kayla’s become something of a resource for finding local businesses, great neighborhoods, and public spaces. She’s also punctual, professional, and a clear communicator with a strong work ethic…checking every box on your list, this one.

Jenny Compton, Transaction Coordination/Realtor [email protected]  |  801.661.2759

With more than 15 years in the industry, Jenny has an immeasurable knowledge of the ins, outs, and tiniest minutiae that come with executing a successful transaction. She’s seen real estate deals of all kinds throughout her storied career—meaning she’s familiar with transactional highs and hiccups of all types—but her particular skillset lies in the realm of client care that goes well beyond a handshake and impressive name recall. A true workplace wonder, we’re thrilled to have Jenny on our team, and we think once she’s shared a shred of her experience and bedside manner with you, you’ll see exactly why.

Alexander Muzio , Realtor [email protected]  |  650.208.2417

With nearly 8 years of experience in the real estate industry, Alexander Muzio has found in his work a process and presentation that enable him to connect with clients and emphasize positive outcomes. He specializes in helping folx find or sell homes in the Avenues, 15th & 15th, 9th & 9th, Liberty Park/Wells, and the Downtown area, but his familiarity and expertise extend to all corners of the Salt Lake Valley, and he's well equipped to help with everything from condos to mansions and historic properties to new builds. Fundamentally, he's a service-based realtor who supports the human side of each experience by establishing rapport and underscoring the importance of cooperation and communication with clients. Honoring and highlighting the special details within each new space, he recognizes the significance of styling and presentation with every property he represents.

Michelle, Operations/Accounting [email protected]  |  801.810.8696

A diverse professional background affords Michelle the varied skills to keep our clients happy and our offices running smoothly, and her well-rounded disposition is showcased perfectly by a field of expertise that comfortably marries left- and right-brain thinking. Forever creatively driven, Michelle pursued degrees in both Photography and Art History from Weber State University, after which she took up a 13-year residence at one of the Wasatch’s biggest resorts as accountant/office manager (and that’s to say nothing of her snowboarding prowess). Her knack for details and affinity for hospitality create an office environment that’s as organized as it is enjoyable--and a client experience that’s downright delightful.

“Now that I understand the unbearable minutiae that comes with selling a home, I can honestly say I'd rather be buried under my next house than try to sell it without an experienced realtor.”

I've been a tech recruiter for 19 years for giants like Google. These are the 4 questions you should ask at the end of an interview.

• Dhritiparna Dhar, an HR expert, shares the top questions she values during job interviews.
• She values questions about team dynamics, work setup, and role growth.
• Inquiries about the company's challenges also show a candidate's curiosity and initiative.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dhritiparna Dhar , a human resources expert based in Bengaluru, India. It has been edited for length and clarity. Business Insider has verified her employment history.

I've worked in talent acquisition for close to 19 years. More specifically, I specialize in tech recruiting and have worked for Yahoo, Google, Dell, and Zendrive before I started my own recruiting agency last year.

When it comes to interviews, there are a number of things I prefer candidates don't ask until they are offered a role, like bringing up compensation and benefits or feedback about technical interviewing rounds. But there are things interviewers love to hear when we open up for questions.

Related stories

Here are four questions I would ask at the end of my interviews.

1. "Can you tell me about my future team?"

One question that is really important to me is when a candidate inquires about their future colleagues. Right now, we are in an increasingly social world and all candidates have access to platforms that can help them do their homework on the company. It is always nice to hear people ask questions about which team they'll join and how many peers they will have. If they are interviewing to be a manager, it is good practice to ask if they are the only manager, how many team members will fall under them, and what their career backgrounds are.

2. "Is the opportunity remote or hybrid?"

I always like hearing a candidate ask whether their role is in person, hybrid, or remote, followed by what culture looks like in each scenario. I love people who prioritize collaboration because it is very difficult to thrive in most companies only as a strong individual contributor.

In the last four years, I have found that companies are also more understanding toward working remotely, given that many people have relocated since the pandemic. Such questions are now welcome and it is good to be transparent, and there are ways of showing interest in collaboration regardless of the answer.

3. "What is the growth story of this particular role?"

Asking this question helps candidates come across as very aspirational because they are already looking into how and when they can grow in that particular role. It gives the interviewer a good perspective to understand the candidate's mindset and what their goals are as an individual: are they looking to mentor a team, climb the career ladder, work on challenging projects? It also gives the hiring manager an opportunity to clearly explain how they nurture and grow talent.

4. "What are the biggest challenges the team, department, or company faces now?"

This is a good question because it shows the hiring manager that the candidate is curious and wants to know more about the organizational or departmental challenges they would be getting into. This information is rarely part of the job description or company website, and it is always fair to ask for more clarity. For startups, this could be funding-related challenges; for tech companies, it could be shifting to new software.

How a Museum Curator From the Bronx Spends His Sundays

Angel López, who goes by Monxo, fills his Sundays with art, music, gardening with his daughter and TV classics.

By Alix Strauss

Angel López saw something familiar in Martin Wong’s 1988 painting “Desire,” showing a wall of bricks in two ornate golden frames.

“It’s sparkling, inviting and intriguing, like New York,” said Mr. López, who, along with three other curators, chose the piece for an exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. “But it also captures how harsh New York can be. Many of us end up facing a wall of bricks or hitting a brick wall.”

Born in Puerto Rico, Mr. López, 50, and his now wife, Libertad O. Guerra, 48, visited New York in 1999 to earn and save money for their next adventure — Istanbul or Lebanon, where they would study Islamic culture.

But they decided to stay. “I liked the city too much to leave,” said Mr. López, who goes by Monxo. “Everything was exciting, and we were having too much fun.”

Along the way, Mr. López became the Museum of the City of New York’s first Latinx permanent curator, and its first curator of community histories. He was part of the curation team for the museum’s “ This Is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture ,” which includes Mr. Wong’s work and runs through July.

After several apartment stints — a shared basement room in Sunset Park, a railroad apartment in Bushwick, a one-bedroom in Fort Greene — Mr. López and his wife bought a four-story, landmark brownstone in Mott Haven, South Bronx, 20 years ago. They live there with their daughter, Xul Marina, 11.

“We love it here,” Mr. López said of the historic building, which includes stained-glass windows, a balcony and a garden. “This building has its own personality. It’s not a background to our lives, but one of the people in the conversation. I feel I’m living in a piece of history.”

STRONG COFFEE I wake up naturally at 8 a.m. My wife is still asleep. So is my daughter. I make stovetop espresso with a coffee called Café Lareño, which I take with almond milk. It’s from Puerto Rico and really strong, but not bitter. Friends bring it to us when they are visiting.

I get out of bed to buy Mexican tamales; they’re like cornmeal Hot Pockets with different fillings. Isabel, and her son, sell them from a supermarket cart on 138th Street, a block from my house. If I’m not there by 8:45, they’re gone. I get the one with cheese and peppers. They are hardy and filling. I might stop at the vegetable shop to pick up tofu, almond milk, scallions and tomatoes.

FRENCH NEWS When I get home, I bring coffee to my wife. My daughter wakes up and I make breakfast, because my wife makes it during the week. Usually it’s scrambled tofu, beans and the tamales.

Then we watch the news. Sometimes that’s France24, CNN in French, because my daughter goes to the École, a French school. In the house we speak Spanish, so we alternate between American news, CNN or MSNBC, and the French one, which gives us a more global perspective and a larger array of opinions on what is going on.

COMMUNITY GARDEN At 11:30, my daughter and I go to the Maria Solá Green Space on 134th and Lincoln Avenue. I’m part of the South Bronx Unite environmental justice coalition, which I co-founded with other neighbors from the area in 2012. We are a trust initiative fighting for a clean environment for the Bronx. A trust initiative takes land out of the real estate market so the community can enjoy it.

The green space was an abandoned garden. We revived it. We cleaned it and planted flowers and greens. We dug a pond and added solar energy. It’s in demand on the weekend. We have community meetings, birthday parties and holiday celebrations. It allows our kids to connect with nature.

ROAD RIDE By 1:30 we go home. My wife is ready, and we drive our white Tesla electric car — we take the subway during the week — to the museum where I work. I love cultural institutions. They protect us and bring us together. I like going without people knowing I’m the curator and hearing what they are saying about the exhibit. What you hear incognito is sincere. My wife and I get another coffee from the museum’s cafe, and my daughter gets a chocolate croissant. We usually see people we know because we all move in the same circles.

MORE CULTURE My wife is the executive director at the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center on the Lower East Side. It’s a former public school that was abandoned in the ’70s and has been turned into a cultural center. It has theaters, galleries and 40 subsidized artist’s studios. There’s always something happening there — a matinee, an art show, a concert or a closing exhibition, so we head there next. The center is filled with memories. We got married there in 2010, before she got the job. We also had a band. We would perform and rehearse there, too. I played the guitar; she played the keyboard. Half the people in the band didn’t know how to play their instruments. It was a funny, punk experience.

MUSICAL MOMENTS We are home by 6 and everyone does their own thing. My wife reads the news or sends work emails. My daughter does homework or reads. She’s reading “El Relato del Inquisidor” (“The Inquisitor’s Tale”) by Adam Gidwitz. We give her space, but we are still supervising. I pick up the guitar. I’ve been playing for 38 years. It’s part of me. I learn new pieces all the time. Right now it’s very short, small, beautiful pieces by Domenico Scarlatti.

HOMEMADE MEAL We have a housemate, Maxim, a charming and smart political refugee from Uzbekistan who I met through a cultural exchange program. He has lived with us since 2012. He’s part of the family now. He’s a really good cook and makes manti, which is a dumpling/ravioli filled with potato, squash or pumpkin from Eastern Europe. He also bakes, so he might make a Belgian chocolate cake.

TV TIME We still watch old TV shows like “The Jeffersons,” Archie Bunker and Mary Tyler Moore. They are smarter and more courageous than a lot of TV shows nowadays, and they’re really funny. They are old but still relevant. We love Norman Lear. Before our daughter was born, he was part of the soundtrack of our lives in New York. It was part of the schooling we have put ourselves through to understand this place. We were really sad when he died.

NEW UNIVERSE Our daughter is showered and in bed by 8:45. I’m in bed by 9; my wife is exercising — she does yoga or spinning. I read for the next 30 minutes. I recently discovered Chinese science fiction. Western sci fi is more familiar. This tells more history of an unfamiliar world that generally doesn’t make it into mainstream sci fi. That’s refreshing and interesting. Right now I’m reading Liu Cixin’s “The Three-Body Problem.” I’m out by 9:30.

Art and Museums in New York City
