Real estate power players hit the links for third annual golf outing
The last few weeks in August are a notoriously slow time for New York City real estate. So what better way to spend the time than by hitting the links?
That’s what some 150 real estate power players did on a Monday last month — at The Real Deal’s third annual golf outing at the Baiting Hollow Golf Club on Long Island’s North Fork.
Brokers, lawyers, bankers and developers on both the commercial and residential sides donned their khakis and collared shirts for the event. Attendees included MNS CEO Andrew Barrocas, the Corcoran Group’s Tamir Shemesh, Douglas Elliman’s Ariel Cohen, Eric Anton of Brookfield Financial, Adam Gordon of Universal Mortgage, James Famularo of New York Commercial Real Estate Services, and Anthony Lolli of Rapid Realty.
From the pro shop to the driving range, players agreed that the market is strong: “Somewhat frantic,” is how Anton put it. The players gathered for lunch and networking, then teed off. After a few raindrops, three teams came out on top. Bank of America Home Loans’ team — which included David Axelrod, Gerard Lynch, Matt Keller and Jim McPartland — walked away with the win. Second place went to Elliman’s Jon Evans, Tom Drew and Michael Constantine. And rounding out the top three was the Rapid Realty team of Gabriel Chapman, Simon Day and Tyler Evenson.
