Coordinator, Brokerage Services & Events

“Danielle played an integral role in the planning and execution of the 2024 REBNY Annual, the premier networking event for New York City’s real estate industry. The event attracted over 1,000 attendees and featured appearances from hundreds of top real estate industry executives and a wide array of public officials across New York City, all to celebrate our shared business and civic contributions to the city. Working closely with the Director of Commercial Brokerage Services and Events, Danielle helped secure representation from over 100 different firms at the event and oversaw multiple staff through the night to ensure vendors were in place, security was maintained and a high level of service was extended to hundreds of guests coming in and out of the event. The event raised significant revenue for REBNY, the leading trade and advocacy organization for New York City’s real estate industry, as well as funds for the REBNY Foundation that supports social impact initiatives in New York City. Danielle is also the go-to contact between thousands of commercial members and our organization, helping professionals identify and utilize a wide range of REBNY resources to get deals done and create tax revenues for New York City. Through her close relationships with committee chairs, Danielle is helping REBNY craft programming valuable to commercial members and highlighting best practices in work streamlining the evaluation of submissions for our industry’s most coveted awards.” - Sandhya Espitia, COO at Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY).
