Interesting Facts

• He and Bradley Whitestone went to college together, invested in their first property their first year of grad school - a dumpy little retail space on the Lower West Side, and it jump-started them as a team. They did most of the rehab work themselves, flipped it, dumped most of the profit into the market as partners, and made some more money.
• Worked for Allied after college, met Jake Ingersol there, then, along with Brad, they formed a company and bought another place together and flipped it; they used that money (“the WIN investment fund”) to start the WIN Group. Jake’s uncle gave them a subsidiary to manage and Brad’s father let them take over the management of a small lead trust.
• He had just returned from having lunch at Café Diablo with a client, where he had consumed two double Diablo Locas, when Eve came to interview members of the WIN Group about Dickenson’s murder.
• Eve recognized the combination of confidence and power: “Roarke had it ― in spades. Newton cultivated the aura with a meticulously tailored suit in slate gray pinstripes mated with a shirt in a subtly deeper hue, and a bold red tie. Under the suit he was built like a quarterback, muscled and tough and honed.”
• Scored six tickets for the premiere of The Icove Agenda for the partners and dates.
• Eve summed up the WIN Group as: Newton’s the smooth one, Whitestone’s the charisma, and Ingersol’s the hamster (go, go, get it done).
• Jake introduced Rob and Lissa to each other, and they’d been dating for at least a year.
