As part of the transaction, Nelson Vrooman Real Estate will vacate its location at 709 Westchester Ave. and move into Prudential Rand’s office at 1 North Broadway in White Plains.

Additionally, Nelson Vrooman’s 20 licensed real estate professionals will join Rand. Nelson Vrooman Real Estate was established more than 50 years ago.
Vrooman said he was attracted to Prudential Rand’s array of marketing tools and state-of-the-art technology.
“This is a very competitive market, and I knew that the best way to serve my clients and associates was to join a bigger team with more resources,” said Vrooman. “I am amazed at the quality of technological tools, the benefits and the talent that Prudential Rand has assembled. It is a very exciting company.”
“Prudential Rand has training and support programs that other firms cannot provide,” said Graessle. “By joining Prudential Rand, we will enhance our client base. The company has a great culture and I look forward to being a part of it.”
