Darlene joined RIPCO’s Brooklyn office as a Director in 2026.
She began her real estate career at TerraCRG, where she specialized in landlord and tenant representation across Brooklyn’s most prominent neighborhoods, advising independent and institutional property owners and retailers alike. Her focus is on connecting quality Brooklyn brands with spaces that bring their vision to life, and bringing property owners tenants who add value to their buildings and the communities around them.
Before real estate, Darlene spent a decade in marketing and advertising, working with international brands at some of NYC’s top agencies. That background in brand strategy, market research, media, and creative gave her a sharper lens for understanding what clients actually need — not just the space, but the story behind it. She believes the best relationships are built on trust, transparency, and putting people before transactions.
Darlene graduated with honors from Boston University with a BSBA and is a proud native New Yorker and Brooklyn Tech alum. She is passionate about her hometown and regularly supports local initiatives that strengthen the communities she works in. When she’s not scouting spaces, she enjoys basketball, seeking out the city’s best bites, and good matcha lattes!
