REBNY honors Schubert of MK at its March Members Luncheon

The Real Estate Board of New York named the winner of its annual Most Promising Commercial Salesperson of the Year at its recent March Members' Luncheon. Peter Schubert of Massey Knakal Realty Services (MK) was chosen over four other finalists to win the coveted honor. This award was created in 1996 by REBNY's Commercial Board of Directors to recognize current and potential professional achievement in a young commercial salesperson new to the industry as well as to recognize "high moral character and ethical professional behavior." The candidates must be a REBNY member with less than five years experience, have displayed leadership qualities as well as team work and have already made significant contributions to the firm's success. "Schubert has proven himself to be an amazing young commercial salesperson and will surely continue his meteoric rise at Massey Knakal and in the industry," said Steven Spinola, president of REBNY. "Our Commercial Board of Directors, who reviews and chooses the winner, was extremely impressed with this young man and his accomplishments, as am I. I am proud to have such an accomplished young man as a member of REBNY and look forward to watching his future successes in the industry." Schubert graduated from the Wharton School of Business with an MBA in Finance and Strategic Management and joined MK in 2003 after spending eight years in finance, most recently as a vice president at a major investment and financing firm. He is an adjunct professor at the NYU Real Estate Institute and is very active with a number of community and philanthropic organizations. He founded the Massey Knakal Charitable Foundation in 2005, and served as its president for two years. He is currently a trustee of the Brooklyn Children's Museum and is one of the chairmen of the Fulton Street Business Improvement District Steering Committee, in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Schubert has twice been the recipient of MK's Michael Fuchs and Aby Rosen Award for Outstanding Business Development, and he was promoted to senior director of Sales in 2006.
