Your 2009 Office Holiday Party is scheduled

The Bronx-Manhattan North Association of Realtors (BMAR) is hosting "Your Office Holiday Party" on Thursday, December 3, 2009 from 6 - 10:30 p.m. at the Marina del Rey Caterers on the water's edge with an extraordinary view of both the Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridges in the Bronx. 2009 is very special since it is our 25th Annual Holiday Party providing an excellent opportunity for members, family, friends, employees and clients to network, cultivate business relationships, and party at a relaxed setting. Promotion of the 25th Annual Party has begun and now is the best time to make your reservations and take advantage of the early reservation's discount. "This Annual Holiday Party is the best event in town where you get 4½ hours of superb buffet selections, entertainment and networking at an unbeatable price,"said Kathy Zamechansky, Holiday Party chairperson. Last year over 20 companies purchased one or more tables at the party and hundreds attended. It also provides an excellent setting for old business contacts to be renewed and new contacts to be made. "Many companies make their company office Holiday Party with this event including our company, Langsam Property Services for the past 25 years," said Matthew Engel, 2010 president of the BMAR. "We provide companies a terrific opportunity to save a significant amount of money by allowing them to have their company office party with the Realtors' Holiday Party. If they had to host their party at another restaurant, it would cost more and they would get less." "At the BMAR Holiday Party, each reserved table of ten or more will have an individual company table sign. The printed Seating List which also illustrates the name of each guest makes networking and meeting new contacts very easy," said Zamechansky. "Recognition Awards are also presented each year to members in recognition of their level of achievement for multi-million dollars sales, rentals or lease transactions," said Engel. Charity Toy Drive for Abused or Neglected Children In keeping with the spirit of charity associated with the holiday season, we are asking guests to bring new unwrapped toys appropriate for a child. These Christmas and Chanukah gifts will be collected at the beginning of the party and disseminated to charitable organizations in the Bronx and Manhattan. Donations are also accepted and will be used to purchase additional toys. We urge all of our members to join us in making this special event even more remarkable by sharing with the children far less fortunate than our own. Company Sponsorships Are Available The Annual Holiday Party also enables companies to sponsor the event for additional promotion and recognition of their company. There are various sponsorship levels and include prime advertising space, company signage, and may also include complimentary tickets. For more information, on sponsorship and or reservations, contact Janine Schall at (212) 242-4343, (718) 892-3000 or email: [email protected].

Tri-state capital migrates nationally amid regulation pressure - by Reese Weaver

New York tri-state multifamily investors are increasingly reallocating capital to less-regulated markets across the U.S. as rent control and legislative risk erode returns at home.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
