LEGAL CORNER: NYC Passes the FARE Act and Restricts the Payment of Commissions by Tenants
The real estate industry has expressed concerns regarding the potential repercussions of the FARE Act.
Houlihan Lawrence has announced that new agents—Anerdis “Angie” Grullon, Gina Tanney and Jillana Valente—have joined the company’s New Rochelle and Pelham brokerage.
Grullon, who joined the New Rochelle brokerage, has been a Westchester resident for more than 10 years after moving from New York City. She obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Columbia University and has since held management roles at various companies including Weil Cornell Medicine. She brings over a decade of experience successfully leading and overseeing operations and program development with strong leadership experience in higher education and managing clinical programs. Grullon is a member of Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR); Member, OneKey® MLS; Member, New York State Association of Realtors (NYSAR); Member, National Association of Realtors (NAR). A resident of New Rochelle, Grullon is fluent in Spanish and French.
Tanney, who also joined the New Rochelle brokerage, is not new to real estate. Having been licensed for more than 25 years, she came to Houlihan Lawrence and worked in both the New Rochelle and Larchmont offices before working with a local developer where she quickly learned the steps required in the construction process. Because of her prior experience in development, Tanney was retained by a local Westchester developer to handle the sales of luxury waterfront condominiums at WatermarkPointe condominiums in New Rochelle. The project was a huge success and sold-out in approximately four years’ time totaling more than $120 million in sales. A resident of Larchmont, Tanney is a licensed Real Estate Broker, NYS Notary Public, past Platinum Award Recipient and Certified Buyer Representative (CBR).
Valente, who joined the Pelham brokerage, is a life-long Westchester resident, growing up in Chappaqua. She lived in Pelham for many years and was an active member of the community. In 2014, she moved to the Hunts Woods section of Mount Vernon with her husband and two children. Valente graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in psychology and business. She continued her education at Boston University Graduate School of Education receiving a Masters in Special Education. She has been a Special Education teacher in Westchester for 25 years. She worked for five years in the Harrison School District and has been a middle school teacher at the Bronxville School for 20 years. Valente is an active member of the Bronxville PTA executive council and a parent coach for Bronxville girls’ lacrosse.
