Founder Friedland to lead as president and CEO of Friedland Realty Advisors

Friedland Realty Advisors, one of Westchester's largest privately-owned real estate firms, has begun a new chapter led by a familiar face: Bob Friedland, the organization's founder. Friedland started the company 40 years ago, growing it into a full-service firm with deep expertise across metro New York. Friedland Realty is charting a new course for growth with large investments in new office space, technologies, and an expanded team of successful brokers. Friedland's renewed role in day-to-day operations follows the departure of Ayall Schanzer, who served as Friedland Realty Advisor's president and CEO for 12 months. Schanzer's choice to pursue new adventures was a mutual decision. "We wish Ayall well in his future endeavors," said Bob Friedland, president and CEO of Friedland Realty Advisors. Friedland Realty recently moved its headquarters from Yonkers to 440 Mamaroneck Ave. in Harrison, N.Y. The new space houses their growing team of brokers and allows the firm to serve additional clients in Westchester, New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and elsewhere. The new location has allowed Friedland Realty to double its office space, making it a top organization choice for talented commercial brokers in the tri-state area. Bob Friedland has invested significant funds in upgrading the firm's technologies to improve the way brokers work and ultimately, how brokers can benefit their clients. "This is an exciting time for Friedland Realty," said Friedland. "We are proud to be an integral part of the Westchester community and look forward to being a contributing factor in its economic development and growth." "I look forward to forging an unrivaled path and working even closer with our team of skilled brokers," Friedland added. "We will continue to serve our clients with our firm's signature dedication, experience and knowledge."

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
