Peralta joins Argo Real Estate

Manhattan, NY Argo Real Estate has appointed Alicia Peralta the new head of its closings & transfers department as closings manager. In that capacity, she will direct an in-house staff responsible for all closings in Argo’s third-party property management portfolio and brokerage division.

Prior to joining Argo, Peralta worked for approximately 10 years at AKAM Associates, serving as vice president closings & transfers. Her earlier experience, spanning more than two decades, was at Douglas Elliman.

“We are so fortunate to have Alicia on board at Argo and welcome her experience and expertise,” said Gustavo Rusconi, vice president and director of property management. “She is well respected industry wide. On her watch, we know the department will continue to grow and produce great work.”

Peralta said, “I appreciate how significant closings are, especially considering the bulk of our work is the transfer of shares or deeds for peoples’ homes, which are often their greatest assets. Residential closings can be emotional, so our goal is to make them as seamless and efficient as possible.”

Peralta holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and government from Marymount Manhattan College. She and her team will work from Argo Real Estate’s Flatiron offices.
