Voda Bauer Real Estate, a full-service residential and commercial firm, has expanded its office and relocated its headquarters to the newly opened WeWork 42nd St. location at 205 East 42nd St. The expansion comes six months after the firm's launch, during which it closed 75 deals and reached $125 million in exclusives.
"This latest development reflects the remarkable growth of our firm," said Jason Bauer, CEO and co-founder of Voda Bauer Real Estate. "We envisioned our early successes when we launched in May and are looking forward to continuing to disrupt the market in 2015 with our innovative approach to real estate."
Voda Bauer has five offices at WeWork 42nd St. with 50 desks in order to accommodate all the new agents it has signed since starting operations. Agents also have the ability to work from all 12 of WeWork's offices across Manhattan.
Additional highlights of the past six months include:
* Voda Bauer being named WeWork's official residential real estate partner, providing residential real estate services to all of its community members across all WeWork locations.
* Active investment Sales division which works closely with building owners and developers to identify opportunities for new construction and conversion.
* The launch of a capital markets group, which is headed by 25-year industry veteran John Raggio.
* Nitza Shafrir Zinbarg being hired as director of new business.
* Gina Ignatieva being hired as director of investment sales.
"In the past six months, we have hired some of the best talent in the real estate market and are helping to develop our agents through our expertise and collaborative approach," said Avi Voda, co-founder of Voda Bauer.
