Steven Kalifowitz, President of Localize.city said. “Until now, New Yorkers got 20 – 30 minutes in an apartment before being asked to spend $1,000,000+ without knowing anything about the livability of the area. Localize.city is to be the source of unparalleled knowledge and transparency for their clients.”
Localize.city is a growing company with presently having 110 employees; 90 at its R&D center in Tel Aviv and 20 at its New York City offices.
