Saffioti and Rabinowitsch launch Constellation Real Estate Advisors

Brooklyn, NY Constellation Real Estate Advisors LLC launches commercial real estate brokerage, consulting and advisory firm based in the Williamsburg neighborhood.

Constellation, founded by Gabriel Saffioti and Nicole Rabinowitsch, formerly of Eastern Consolidated, will draw upon the vast experience of its partners to guide Constellation’s evolution from new company to local industry leader. In addition to the founding team, Constellation has engaged Leah Balkany, formerly of Douglas Elliman Commercial, as investment sales specialist, as well as Ryan Reszelbach, formerly of Massey Knakal, a retail leasing specialist. The Constellation team has amassed $540 million in commercial real estate transactions over the past five years.

Constellation Real Estate Advisors will differentiate itself from its competition by the application of four concepts, culminating in superior client service: personalized client focus service; quiet, confidential off-market deals introduced to principals through personal contact rather than email blasts; collaborative team work where brokers exchange freely deals and contacts as well as professional standards of conduct through integrity, respect and continuous education.

“As a new firm, Constellation Real Estate Advisors has the ability to create our own culture while embracing creativity, technology and cooperation. Nicole and I saw a void in the industry and we intend to fill it with an innovative approach and an experienced team who understand the value of actually working together to produce exceptional results for our customers,” said Saffioti, managing partner, Constellation.
