Highly accomplished Roberta Benzilio brings over two decades of top-caliber real estate experience plus exceptional market knowledge to Halstead Property Development Marketing. As Senior Director of Sales for this high-profile division, Roberta expertly oversees all sales aspects of the company's new development projects, from the hiring and training to the placement and supervision of talented on-site sales specialists throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
Throughout her illustrious real estate career, Roberta has enjoyed a reputation not only as an exemplary industry professional, but as a well-recognized and often-quoted authority offering the most reliable, cutting-edge information. While she initially started her real estate career as a sales agent in Brooklyn working with residential buyers and sellers, she gradually ventured into commercial real estate and new construction properties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, establishing strong ties with major developers and investors throughout the city.
Roberta was rewarded for her diligence, service dedication and superior results with rapid advancements at William B. May Company, one of NYC's most distinguished brokerage firms. Ultimately becoming President in 2004, she soon after accepted a post as Chief Operating Officer for Century 21 William B. May Company (now Century 21 Kevin B. Brown Associates), where she worked prior to joining Halstead.
Over her 23 years as an executive with the firm, Roberta made great strides in the marketing, public relations and technology development arenas, with impressive achievements spanning everything from the opening of new offices to creating the company's first website. Yet she never lost her love with making deals happen. A top salesperson for many consecutive years, her claim to fame continues to be never having a contract fall apart. It is this spotless track record and "hands-on-and-in-touch-with-the-marketplace" management approach that makes Roberta so successful.
Her love of personal interaction and background in psychology have certainly served Roberta well in the world of real estate, as has her interest in building websites which she has done since 1994 through HIA, a company she founded. She is proud to say she loves every aspect of what she does, as her work is different and exciting each day. When not hard at work, Roberta loves to travel and sail. She also volunteers her time at favorite charities such as Cystic Fibrosis, The American Cancer Society and the Epilepsy Foundation.
