Company History & Management Profiles

Red Real Estate
Founded by New York University Alumni Diane Henry, Shauna Gray and Janelle Benjamin, Red Real Estate was designed to stand out. Red was created on the premise that there was an extraordinary opportunity to raise the bar on real estate brokerage services, particularly to small and mid-sized businesses. In the Manhattan market, there was a strong public interest in real estate but a generally low opinion of real estate brokers. Red set out to begin changing the way people viewed real estate agents, one client at a time. Red has successfully created a team of exceptionally skilled professionals with the right combination of integrity, market knowledge and outstanding people skills.
