Ramirez of Halstead Property named to 2017 Swanepoel Power 200 list

New York, NY Halstead Property chairman and CEO Diane Ramirez was named one of the 2017 Swanepoel Power 200 (SP200), a list that ranks the 200 most powerful leaders in the residential real estate brokerage industry.

“I am honored to be named one of the Swanepoel Power 200 and congratulate my fellow recipients. As a founder of Halstead Property, seeing the firm grow to more than 30 offices and 1,300 agents across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, has been extremely rewarding. I look forward to our continued success, which is a result of the hard work of all of our employees and agents,” said Ramirez.

From over three million real estate professionals, less than 0.01% were selected to be included on this list. Residential real estate brands, brokerages, technology companies, associations, economists, authors, and consultant, coaches and media members were some of the many leaders that were considered a part of SP200.

Along with co-founder Clark Halstead, Ramirez’s vision for the company was a high-end firm that covered all segments of the market and was located in the communities that it serviced. Due to their vision, Halstead Property became the first firm to establish ground-floor, storefront offices in Manhattan. As the CEO of Halstead, Ramirez has helped grow the firm to $6 billion in annual sales.

As one of the top residential real estate brokerage firms in the New York metropolitan area, Halstead Property has more than 1,300 sales and rental agents located in premier retail storefront offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island City, Riverdale, the Hamptons, Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Fairfield County, Connecticut. In addition, the Development Marketing Division of Halstead Property is the exclusive sales and marketing firm for many new developments in the tristate area and through the Property Management Division, Halstead manages more than 25,000 residential units within 250 buildings.
