Coldwell Banker DiTommaso Announces New Additions to Firm

Frank DiTommaso, Broker/Owner of Coldwell Banker DiTommaso Realty, is proud to announce the company’s continued growth with the addition of three experienced sales agents to the DiTommaso firm. “As the market continues to struggle, we continue to make strides in our company’s expansion”, says DiTommaso. The following real estate professionals have decided to associate with the firm and the entire team is pleased to welcome them.

Diane Malagreca
Diane Malagreca, a full time associate broker brings with her over 9 years of real estate experience to the industry. She served in real estate, corporate law and securities, and was an operations manager for a Manhattan real estate developer overseeing luxury properties in various parts of Manhattan. After realizing that real estate is a versatile industry with a changing dynamic she became a realtor in Staten Island.

According to Diane, “I decided to join the DiTommaso firm because of its expansion plans. As a full time sales associate it was important to me that my company was moving in a direction uncharacteristic of the market at this time. That says a lot to me. I realized that my decision to join this office was simple”.
Diane’s trademark style is a combination of the following: resourcefulness, diligence, honesty, compassion and developing rapport with clients and customers. Ms. Malagreca has a willingness and ability to listen to the needs of her clients and customers, which enables her to be effective in assisting them with any of their real estate needs.

Having the ability to provide service to all facets of the real estate industry provides a win-win situation for her and her customers and clients on a daily basis. Ms. Malagreca also serves as a committee member at SIBOR on the Realtor-Associate Committee, the Education Committee and the Commercial Real Exchange Committee (CREXSI). She is also a recipient of the 2008 SIBOR Top Producer Award and several other sales awards throughout her career.

According to Julie, “When I look back at other offices that I interviewed with, I realized that my decision to join this company was simple. The knowledge in this office plus its growth plans just blew me away”.

Ms. Porowski sets her goals high. Her approach to the real estate industry is to put the needs of her customers and clients first. She believes that by listening, counseling and following through from start to finish, she can truly make a worthy contribution to the lives of the people she serves.
