Manhattan brokerage Keller Williams NYC, the local franchise of Keller Williams Realty, has expanded its workforce to 100 agents since active hiring began in April, the company announced yesterday.
“Our agent-friendly environment and entrepreneurial spirit is attracting some of the most talented and motivated people in New York City real estate to the firm,” said Adina Azarian, CEO of Keller Williams NYC. “They are drawn to the company’s unique business model, which focuses heavily on training, and offers a support system that both encourages and rewards success.”
Some of the firm’s most notable new hires include Eric Lustgarten, formerly president of the William B. May Company and director of sales and investment properties at Brown Harris Stevens and Hela Miodownik, formerly a vice president at Prudential Douglas Elliman.
“Keller Williams NYC is the fastest growing real estate company in Manhattan,” said Chairman Ilan Bracha, who moved from Elliman earlier this year. “As interest continues to build in the Keller Williams model in New York City, we remain on track to reach our goal of 250 associates by the end of this year.”
The brokerage is close to completing a deal for a new office space in Midtown, though its headquarters will remain at Trump Tower at 725 Fifth Avenue. – Katherine Clarke
