The agent who launched a commercial division at Kurland Realty is now doing the same for DJK Residential.
Allan Gallaway, who was managing director of the commercial division at Kurland for five years, started his new position, as senior vice president at the newly formed DJK Commercial Realty, a week ago (the website isn’t live yet). He is now working to recruit agents for the team, which he expects to amount to three to five people. The division will focus on leasing office, restaurant and retail space as well as retail condo sales and investment sales including hotels. [more]

Kurland Realty’s founder, Kevin Kurland, has started a new firm, offering his take on the 100 percent commission model.
The new venture, known as Spire Group, launched this past Saturday, Jan. 1, said Kurland, who started the boutique firm Kurland Realty in 1997.
Rather than splitting their commission checks with the firm, Spire agents will keep all of their commissions, but pay “agent dues” of $495 per month, he said. In exchange, they get access to the firm’s listings, website (which operates as a virtual office website, or VOW) and other resources. [more]

Jennifer Ilgauskas, wife of NBA star Zydrunas Ilgauskas, says she’s a fan of the Bravo reality show “9 by Design.”
That makes sense, since the stars of the reality show — husband-and-wife design team Bob and Cortney Novogratz — built her house, Soho’s 24 Thompson Street. “I’ve never met them, but I’d love to,” said Ilgauskas, who purchased the five-story townhouse with her husband in 2006, shortly after the Novogratzes moved out. The owners of the New York City-based design firm Sixx Design, the now-famous Novogratzes have spent the last decade renovating and flipping Manhattan properties, all while moving their brood of seven children from house to house. They built 24 Thompson Street on the site of a previously empty lot. -
