Amir R. Korangy (born November 21, 1973) is an Iranian-American publisher and film producer, who founded the business magazine, The Real Deal, about real estate and finance news.〔Baum, Geraldine (July 30, 2009). ("In New York, the big money's in (covering) real estate" ). ''Los Angeles Times''. 〕 He also produced the PBS documentary, (Building Stories ) about architect Costas Kondylis.〔(Producer Amir Korangy on Building Stories ). Thirteen 〕 Korangy was born in Tehran, Iran. After the Islamic Revolution of 1979 his family left Iran as political refugees and spent time in Paris and Madrid before settling in the Washington DC area. Korangy received a BA in Journalism and Foreign Policy at Boston University and attended Emerson College.〔 == Career == After college, Korangy moved to Baja, Mexico where he commenced his career as a publisher. He started ''South of the Border'', a weekly newspaper that targeted expatriates living in Baja. The paper was bought within the first year by the ''Gringo Gazette'', another local newspaper. His next venture was the founding of ''The Washington Free Press'', a weekly tabloid challenging DC’s conservative media culture. ''The Washington Free Press'' was sold to the ''Washington City Paper'' in 1997. After graduate studies at Emerson College, Korangy moved to New York City in 1999. He worked at Yahoo Inc., and eventually began investing in New York City real estate. These transactions inspired Korangy to recognize a void in that industry for compelling real estate news.〔Chesler, Caren (March 2010). ("Real Estate Horror Tales" ). ''Financial Advisor Magazine''. 〕 In April 2003 Korangy put out the first edition of The Real Deal from his apartment in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The Real Deal provides an inside look into the prominent New York real estate market as well as reports national and international market trends. There is also a South Florida edition of ''The Real Deal''. The monthly magazine includes an array of news exclusives, wide-ranging interviews, and in-depth analyses for brokers, developers, investors, appraisers, bankers, architects and real estate enthusiasts.〔Meoli, Daria (January 21, 2010).
