BRI of Westchester and Mid-Hudson hosts 2nd Vendor Showcase

White Plains, NY The Building and Realty Institute (BRI) recently hosted their 2nd Vendor Showcase at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Forty-five companies and professional firms exhibited their products and services representing a wide range of industry experts including: Real estate management, developers, solar, architectural glass manufacturer, restoration and painting companies, security, roofing, insurance and legal firms, banks, energy companies, kitchen and flooring design, IT, and the NY State Builders. 

“As a membership association, it is vital to offer our member firms an opportunity such as this. A trade show acts as one more way to provide a forum to market their business, to highlight  their talents and skills and introduce them to a broader public,”  said Margaret Collins, director of membership and advertising. 

The showcase featured several presentations:

• “Harvey, Irma, Maria, Juan & So On: Enormous Challenges Facing the Insurance Industry and their Policy Holders,” presented by Jason Schiciano of Levitt Fuirst Associates.

• “Seeing the Light! Building Owners Can make Money from the Recent Renewable Energy Policy Changes,” presented by Doug Hertz, Sunrise Solar Solutions.

• “Underground Fuel Storage Tanks - What You Can’t See Can Hurt You!,” presented by Michael Carr, American Petroleum, Jeff Stillman of Stillman Management, Dave Amster of Prime Locations, Inc. and Giovanni Puerta of TRION Management.

Institute members represent the entire spectrum of the residential and commercial real estate industry, including builders, developers, remodelers, suppliers, specialty subcontractors, property managers and professional management and service firms. 

“Thank you to BRI for organizing a great event...I had the best time yesterday...only thing I would do different, I should have come earlier, stayed longer and brought more business cards, “ said Michael Murphy, new project development, Murphy Brothers Contracting of Mamaroneck. 

Robert Blair, director of business development at Red Key Solutions said, “Thanks so much for putting together such a great event last night. It was definitely impactful and fun!  I look forward to more in the future.”

BRI is planning on their Third Annual Vendor Showcase in October of 2018.
