Industry veteran Bonnie Kirshenbaum will lead division
RISMEDIA, March 16 ? Dwelling Quest has launched the Residential Referral Network. This program allows licensed commercial real estate brokers to refer clients, friends and family members who are looking to buy, sell or rent an apartment to Dwelling Quest.
Once the deal is closed, Dwelling Quest will provide the referring broker with a substantial commission.
?We will act as the commercial brokerage firm?s outsourced residential real estate department,? says Daren W. Hornig, president and chief executive officer, Dwelling Quest. ?No other company in the industry offers this type of formalized service.?
Bonnie Kirschenbaum, the Residential Referral Network?s director, says the division offers significant benefits. ?Through the Residential Referral Network, commercial brokers will now have access to an additional ? and previously unavailable ? revenue stream. It also allows them to provide additional value to their clients. As for Dwelling Quest, we benefit by expanding our residential real estate footprint.?
Attorneys and real estate management companies can also refer clients to the Residential Referral Network. ?Lawyers, by virtue of their admission into the bar, are licensed real estate brokers,? says Kirschenbaum. ?They can refer those within their spheres of influence, as well as their own clients, as long as they are not representing them in the same real estate transactions.?
Before joining Dwelling Quest, Kirshenbaum was a property manager with the Paramount Group, Inc. where she managed a Midtown Class A, multi-million dollar building. She was also a vice president and general manager at Jones Lang LaSalle and an assistant vice president at Chase Real Estate Finance Group. Kirschenbaum has a Master of Science in Real Estate from New York University. She?s been in the commercial real estate industry for 15 years and is a member of the Association of Real Estate Women.
