Partly because De Niro's grandmother Virginia Admiral invested in real estate, participating in some of SoHo's first warehouse-to-residential conversions in the 1960s and 1970s, and later his father's involvement, he decided in 2003 to get a real estate broker's license.{{Cite news|url=https://businessradio.wharton.upenn.edu/people/raphael-de-niro/|title=Raphael De Niro|website=Wharton Business Radio|access-date=8 January 2019}} During his first six years in real estate, De Niro sold a total of $600 million in properties, becoming one of the top ten sellers each year at Douglas Elliman. He is the head of the "De Niro Team" at the firm, which is ranked as a top-producing sales team in New York City and in the U.S. He is a partner with his father Robert De Niro in a five-star boutique hotel in Tribeca, the Greenwich Hotel, launched in 2008.
