Katie Kahanovitz is a seasoned real estate professional with a distinguished career, starting at Bold New York, a boutique multifamily firm known for its advisory and leasing services for new developments and value-added repositions. Her role as a former RLS Board Member for REBNY was instrumental in creating and developing New York City's new RLS from 2015 to 2017. She has successfully managed 21 lease-ups, and value-add repositions, with notable projects including Slate, Stone Street Properties, Benchmark, and Moinian. Transitioning from Bold to Compass, Katie led a team that managed leasing for up to 5000 units, further cementing her expertise in the field. Her extensive experience includes consulting for large-scale value-add leasing programs across Colorado, Texas, and Florida. Katie Kahanovitz co-founded Prism Property Group, a boutique consultancy in West Palm Beach specializing in consulting services for leasing. She continues to utilize her strategic expertise to foster success in the multifamily real estate sector.
Katie's success is attributed to her ability to connect with value-add owners seeking a more sophisticated residential leasing team with a deeper understanding of ownership dynamics. Katie's extensive residential leasing and ownership background has made her a sought-after expert in her field. She has a proven track record of success in managing large-scale leasing operations, ensuring optimal occupancy rates, and maximizing client revenue. Whether overseeing the leasing and management of residential properties, advising on strategic investments, or negotiating complex deals, Katie approaches every project with a fierce determination to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients.
As her NYC clients began investing in properties outside the city, she noticed a gap in the market for effective leasing programs provided by professionals in other areas. This prompted Katie to expand her leasing operations to primary and secondary markets beyond NYC, culminating in founding The Sliva & Kahanovitz Team, where she now serves as the President.
When she's not immersed in her professional life, Katie enjoys spending time with her husband and their two young children in Wellington, Florida.
