NEW YORK, NY- December 12, 2012 – One of New York’s most prestigious family-owned residential brokerages, Stribling & Associates, has announced that Elizabeth Ann Stribling-Kivlan has been named President of the 32-year-old firm. Elizabeth Stribling, who founded the firm in 1980, will assume the role of Chairman of her eponymous company. Kirk Henckels, head of Stribling’s luxury arm, Stribling Private Brokerage, is also taking the position of Vice Chairman of Stribling & Associates. Please read Elizabeth Ann's past interview on Whom You Know here and we look forward to telling you more.

“Stribling is more than a real estate company, it’s my home. That’s why it is such an honor to name my only daughter as President of the firm to continue my vision,” said Elizabeth Stribling. “She has proven herself as a remarkable leader within our company, and her forward thinking will continue to establish Stribling as one of the city’s top brokerage firms.”

As President, Elizabeth Ann will supervise all of the day-to-day operations and business expansion and development of the firm; while Elizabeth will remain an active member of Stribling’s Management Team, overseeing company policy and corporate image, as well as continuing to be the President of Stribling Marketing Associates, the development company which she also founded.

Elizabeth Ann, 33, has been instrumental in the growth of the firm in recent years, both as the Sales Director of Stribling’s downtown office and as the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, a role she has held since 2006. This year, she spearheaded the expansion of Stribling to Brooklyn, where they will be opening their fourth New York City office in early 2013 at 384 Atlantic Avenue. Additionally, she took on the major rebranding of the firm and launch of its award-winning website, Stribling.com. Recognized by the industry for its improved functionality, accessibility on mobile devices, and social media interactions, Stribling.com has raised the bar for searching for real estate.

A fifth-generation New Yorker, Elizabeth Ann is a graduate of the Chapin School and the College of the Holy Cross, where she studied Comparative World Religions. An active member of her community, she serves on the national leadership council for GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network,) the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students.

“I’ve grown up in the real estate business, and I know that this is not only something I’ve been raised to do, but it’s something I truly want to do,” said Elizabeth Ann Stribling-Kivlan, “I look forward to continuing to work with my mother and all of the Stribling managers to learn from them and bring Stribling to the next level.”

Elizabeth Stribling, 68, began her distinguished real estate career in 1967. Recognized in the New York community as a leading expert in luxury residential sales and new development, Elizabeth Stribling is also highly regarded as a knowledgeable business and civic leader. She is on the Board of Governors of the Real Estate Board of New York, the Executive Board of the New York Landmarks Conservancy, and the Board of the Women's Committee of the Central Park Conservancy. She was also recently awarded the prestigious title of Officier de la Légion d’Honneur (Officer of the Legion of Honor) for her work as the Chairman of the French Heritage Society.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
