Like a weird twist on American Idol, broker auditions are currently being held for the right to sell late philanthropist Brooke Astor's legendary co-op at 778 Park Avenue, which could get listed for around $46 million. The contestants: "Brown Harris Stevens’ Mary Rutherfurd came with her firm’s formidable president, Hall Wilkie; Stribling’s Kirk Henckels went in with colleague Margaret Furniss, who knows the Marshall family from church; Sotheby’s Roberta Golubock came with her president and CEO, Kathryn Korte; Elliman’s Rebecca Steindecker and Catherine Durgin were there, too, probably because their firm manages the building; and Leighton Candler represented Corcoran, though it isn’t clear if she was alone."
