Gedinksy of Winick Realty Group: Proud of every deal
Name: Kelly Gedinsky
Title: Salesperson
Company Name: Winick Realty Group
Years in Commercial Real Estate: 7
In the last 12 months, which project, transaction, honor or accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
I am very proud of every deal I do. This year I had the pleasure of finding a space for one of my oldest and dearest friends, Jenny Fleiss, for her company Rent The Runway. I have been friends with Fleiss, the co-founder of Rent The Runway, for over 25 years. Getting the chance to help a friend in business was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had thus far in my career. I also have to mention that being honored by Sokol Media as a "Top Woman in Real Estate" was immeasurably rewarding. Receiving the award amongst some of real estate's finest women is something I will never forget.
What was your first job and what did you learn from it?
I was an intern at an entertainment PR firm. My boss would often get extremely emotional and at times, would even cry. I vowed to never get emotionally affected by business.
My boss happened to have been a man, but no one wants to see anyone get emotional in the workplace, particularly a woman. It showed me how important it is to remain professional at all times, regardless of circumstance.
