Renée Fishman is the 2009 winner of the Real Estate Board of New York's prestigious Rookie of the Year Award. This honor is given by the industry annually to one agent in all of New York City who has demonstrated an outstanding expertise in all facets of the skills that top brokers require: an ability to originate, analyze, negotiate and close deals, while displaying sound moral character and high ethical behavior, leadership qualities, teamwork skills and significant sales volume. REBNY praised Renée's excellence in these areas, as well as her innovative use of social media and technology in her real estate practice. Renée is recognized by the real estate community and her clients as a focused, results-oriented professional who understands the art of the deal and guides her clients and customers through the process with a sure hand. Her clients and customers include high-profile business executives, domestic and foreign investors, real estate professionals and first-time buyers. Whether working on a rental transaction or a multi-million dollar sale, she imbues her real estate practice with the values of integrity, discretion and dedication to her clients and customers. This approach, combined with creative problem solving techniques, keen attention to detail, and negotiation experience honed through her career as a corporate lawyer have earned her loyalty from buyers and sellers and praise from her customers, clients and colleagues. Renée is a native New Yorker who is familiar with every corner of the city. She attended the Ramaz School on the Upper East Side, where most of her family still lives, and lived in several neighborhoods before purchasing her own apartment in the Union Square area.
