Officers and Directors Throughout the Hudson Valley Also Appointed at Installation Gala at Marina Del Rey, Bronx, NY

White Plains, NY (February 2023) The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR) recently inaugurated Tony L. D’Anzica of Dynamax Realty NYC Inc. in Manhattan as its 2023 President. HGAR also appointed its 2023 executive officers and directors at its Installation Gala, held at Marina Del Rey in the Bronx. The Tito Puente Jr. Band provided the evening’s entertainment.


D’Anzica began his career in 1997 at Borah, Goldstein, Altschuler, Nahins & Goidel, one of New York City’s most prominent real estate law firms. In 2006, he became a licensed real estate broker and joined the former

Manhattan Association of REALTORS® (MANAR). In 2010, D’Anzica became a MANAR Director and just six years later, he was elected President of MANAR.  That same year, in 2016, he successfully spearheaded the merger of MANAR with the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR). With the merger complete, he joined the Board of HGAR in 2017 as the Regional Director for Manhattan.

 

Since then, he has served on multiple HGAR committees, including co-chair of HGAR’s Global Business Council. D’Anzica was responsible for expanding the annual Global Real Estate Summit from a collaboration between two local REALTOR ® Associations to an international event partnering with 11 REALTOR® associations, including the National Association of REALTORS and the Canadian Real Estate Association. HGAR’s Global Business Council has garnered multiple accolades over the years, winning NAR’s coveted Global Ambassador of the Year Award and the 2022 Platinum Global Achievement Award.

 

Additionally, D’Anzica serves as a Director of both the National Association of REALTORS® and the New York State Association of REALTORS®.

 

“We were so excited to host this year’s Installation Gala in the Bronx, which became part of HGAR in 2021”, said Jana Currier, Interim CEO and COO. “Our Association is proud to welcome Tony as our 2023 President as well as our 2023 Board of Directors in their new roles this year.
