"Our brokers have a great knack at conveying realistic options to both landlords and tenants. As a result, we are still making deals in this market." Lembeck said, "Friedland's brokers are out in the market every day, working hard to fill every vacancy in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and the Bronx. We are canvassing each market regularly to find the best opportunities for our clients, on both the landlord and tenant side of the transaction."
