Employee Profile: Tara Long, Leasing Associate

Tara Long joined Malkin Properties in early 2011 as a leasing associate for the firm’s Trophy office portfolio in Fairfield and Westchester counties. In this capacity, Tara’s primary responsibilities include space showings and follow-up, broker outreach and networking, preparation of leasing proposals, and support for Malkin Properties’ suburban leasing program.

After having cultivated her commercial real estate skills during a four-year stint at Newmark Knight Frank’s Greenwich-based offices, Mrs. Long is excited to have begun this next phase of her career.

“During my tenure at Newmark, I gained an appreciation and respect for Malkin Properties’ reputation for top-quality services and amenities and hands-on management, based largely on my colleagues’ positive accounts of their interactions with the entire Malkin team in Fairfield and Westchester,” says Mrs. Long. “It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to work directly for such a distinguished organization and to market such a well-regarded product and brand.”

Mrs. Long holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a minor in psychology from the State University of New York at Albany. She resides in Yonkers, NY.

Mrs. Long already is receiving accolades from brokers and tenants with whom she has dealt, as well as from her supervisors, Jeffrey H. Newman, executive vice president, and Kimberly A. Zaccagnino, senior leasing associate.

“Tara is intelligent, articulate and professional, with a pleasant and personable disposition, all of which qualities are critical in the marketing and leasing of space,” says Mr. Newman “Tara brings an innate skill to the role that is only surpassed by her willingness to learn,” adds Ms. Zaccagnino. “She’s already proving herself to be a true asset to the company.”

“At Malkin Properties, I have the opportunity to work with and learn from a team of consummate professionals who execute their jobs with passion for a top-quality brand and product,” adds Mrs. Long. “I can’t imagine a better platform and venue for marketing and leasing office space.”
