This month's bfi Inner Circle networking group led by Stephanie Badillo featured a luncheon and showroom tour at Gunlocke. Thank you Gunlocke for your hospitality!
On January 10, 2018 Stephanie Badillo, Business Development Manager of bfi, attended the REDinNYC Networking Event along with bfi Vice President, Keith Kreindler. bfi was one of the several sponsors for this networking event whose mission is to introduce, support and promote individuals and businesses that are involved in in real estate development projects throughout New York, across the country, and internationally. The REDinNYC event offers the best networking experiences and the best care towards the needs of those who have a passion for real estate. Their goal is to improve the operations of their customers through the implementation of new communication infrastructures and systems. Sponsoring this event was an opportunity to gain visibility for bfi New York into the NYC Real Estate Developer community. There has never been an office furniture dealer at these events. Stephanie has been a member for over a year as a Developer and it was a good opportunity for her to showcase her new role as well as bfi’s services to the group. During the event Stephanie was introduced to many corporate real estate developers and brokers who were not familiar with bfi or its services. Her target market is to provide them with move in ready solutions that will enable them to lease their properties faster and for longer term commitments. Surprisingly, Stephanie was approached, filmed and interviewed by a reporter. Watch the video here.
