Several of the top names in New York City-area real estate cracked Inman’s annual list of the 100 most influential real estate leaders, released today.
The list — which spotlights industry leaders “whose ingenuity, strength, conviction, power and persistence are driving change” — included brokerage chiefs such as Douglas Elliman CEO Dottie Herman, Halstead Property CEO Diane Ramirez, Corcoran Group CEO Pamela Liebman, Douglas Elliman Development Marketing CEO Susan de França and Madison, N.J.-based Coldwell Banker CEO Budge Huskey. Century 21 CEO Richard Davidson was recognized for guiding the brokerage as it broke into the Manhattan market, as well as internationally – in Kosovo, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia.
Other locals recognized included Warburg Realty agent Nicole Beauchamp, Douglas Elliman associate broker Maria Babaev, and Matthew Shadbolt, Corcoran’s director of interactive products and marketing. There was also Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff, Urban Compass’ Robert Reffkin and Redfin’s Glenn Kelman.
