The esteemed event was presented by the Hudson Valley chapter of NYSCAR (New York State Commercial Association of REALTORS®), New York’s elite network of commercial real estate professionals. Motorcyclepedia Museum in Newburgh was the host of the second annual awards ceremony, created to recognize exceptional accomplishments in commercial real estate deals, brokered within the Hudson Valley.
