At the 27th Annual Residential Deal of the Year Charity and Awards Gala , the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) honored 15 of New York City’s most outstanding residential dealmakers. The theme for the 2015 celebration – hosted annually by REBNY’s residential brokerage division – was “The Magic of New York” and featured entertainment by magicians and fortune tellers. A portion of the proceeds raised at this year’s event were put towards REBNY’s “Member in Need Fund,” which provides grants to members experiencing a financial crisis or hardship, in addition to the New York City AIDS Memorial, which seeks to raise awareness and inspire action through educational programming about the ongoing AIDS epidemic.
