2020 Women in RE: Vivian Dalencour, Libra Title Agency LLC

Name: Vivian Dalencour

Title: Office Manager

Company Name: Libra Title Agency LLC

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
Among many others in the past, my most recent accomplishment for which I am very proud of was to assist in starting a very exciting project with Petro Zinkovetsky. We recently opened Libra Title Agency LLC, which is located in Manhattan. I am happy to be a part of this enterprise as I know that there is a market needing our professional services. 

What conferences, books, blogs, podcasts, or influencers would you recommend to women?
There are a few ladies that I would recommend to women. First, my absolute favorite, Coco Chanel for her fascinating and inspiring story. She influenced women for generations in very positive ways. Second I would recommend Frida Khalo, who’s artistic and social work inspires generations. Last but not least I would recommend Salma Hayek, she is a beautiful, talented actress who does not shy away from her humble beginnings and gives back to the community through charity work. One of my favorite hobbies is to read. I am not able to do it as much as I would like. I recommend my two favorite authors Alexandre Dumas and Oscar Wilde. 

What would you tell your daughter if she was interested in following in your footsteps? 
My children are truly my greatest accomplishments. My daughter, at age 12 shows a great imagination in her artistic electronic drawings. She has a creative talent that I encourage. Whether she follows my footsteps or her own path I would give her my loving unconditional assistance, advising her to stay true to herself and be positive and optimistic no matter what. Respect others and demand respect for yourself. Never negotiate your ideals and your dreams.
