Fred Rudd, president and founder of Rudd Realty, has spent his entire professional career in real estate. He knows the business from the ground up and is equally comfortable inspecting a boiler or developing a ?nancial plan.
Fred prides himself on his ability to solve mechanical problems and to walk through a building and pick out the systems that need work. He began learning this in the late 1970s when he was an assistant property manager spending his days on-site at buildings. In 1983-84, he managed Clinton Hill apartments, the 14-building, 1,225-unit complex that was the second largest co-op conversion in New York State.
After that, he formed his own property management firm, which after a merger has evolved into Rudd Realty Management Corp. Fred has a keen business sense and uses his extensive knowledge of real estate to work with Rudd Realty-managed properties to
maximize their value.
Fred is a leader in the real estate industry and has received numerous honors including the Special Award for Excellence in Management and the prestigious Emma Lazarus Award, both given by the Associated Builders and Owners of Greater New York (ABO) and a Management Achievement Award from Habitat Magazine. He has also written for and been quoted in such publications as Habitat magazine, The Cooperator and Real Estate Weekly and has a regular column in The Mann Report.
Fred is a designated Registered Apartment Manager (RAM), and has served as co-chairman of the Residential Management Committee of the Real Estate Board of New York, as a co-founder and director of the Association of Cooperative and Condominium Managers (ACCM), and as a director of ABO. He is the son of the late Philip Rudd, a respected real estate developer.
