     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 1") is being
filed on behalf of Third Point Management Company L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Management Company"), and Daniel S. Loeb, an individual
("Mr. Loeb" and, together with the Management Company, the "Reporting Persons").
This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Insignia Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Unless
the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Common Stock" are to
such common stock of the Company. The Management Company is the investment
manager or adviser to a variety of hedge funds and managed accounts (such funds
and accounts, collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds directly own the Common
Stock to which this Amendment No. 1 relates, and the Reporting Persons may be
deemed to have beneficial ownership over such Common Stock by virtue of the
authority granted to them by the Funds to vote and to dispose of the securities
held by the Funds, including the Common Stock. This Amendment No. 1 amends that
Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on April
20, 2001 (the "Schedule 13D") and is being filed to report, among other things,
that the Reporting Persons no longer hold in excess of 5% of the total
outstanding Common Stock. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
such meanings as are ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the
following:

     On February 17, 2003, the Company announced that it entered into an
agreement to be sold, in a merger transaction, to CB Richard Ellis Services,
Inc. for a consideration of $11.00 per share of Common Stock in cash and up to
$1.00 per share additional consideration under certain circumstances. After such
announcement, the Reporting Persons effected sales of shares of Common Stock
because of their belief that the inherent risk in the consummation of a
transaction of this nature does not justify the potential rate of return that
would be achieved by waiting for such consummation.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

     (a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the Management Company
beneficially owns 91,600 shares of Common Stock. The Management Company shares
voting and dispositive power over such holdings with Mr. Loeb and with the
Funds. As of October 31, 2002, the Shares represented 0.4% of the total
23,237,690 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2002.
None of the individual Funds owns a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or
greater than 5% of such total Common Stock outstanding.

     (b) The Management Company and Mr. Loeb share voting and dispositive power
over the 91,600 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds.


                                       4




     (c) Schedule A hereto sets forth certain information with respect to
transactions by the Funds, at the direction of the Reporting Persons, in the
Common Stock during the past sixty days.

     All of the transactions set forth on Schedule A were effected in open
market purchases on the New York Stock Exchange through the Primary Broker.

     Except as set forth above, during the last sixty days there were no
transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the
best of their knowledge, any of their directors, executive officers, general
partners or members.

     (d) Other than the Funds which directly hold the Shares, and except as set
forth in this Item 5, no person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Shares.

     (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than
5% of the total outstanding Common Stock on August 30, 2002 with the sale of
100,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 0.4% of the total amount of
outstanding Common Stock at such time.
