William Abramson (Bill) is Director of Brokerage at Buchbinder & Warren Realty Group. He oversees all commercial and residential sales and leases.
A native New Yorker, Bill earned a BA in Psychology from Boston University and an MA in Sports Management from New York University. Prior to joining the firm, Bill was First Vice President at Chelsea Piers, a position he held for 9 years. As a senior member of the management team, he helped establish Chelsea Piers as the third largest tourist attraction in New York City, and a strong neighborhood amenity that increased real estate value in the surrounding area.
His commitment to community is as impressive as his professional credentials. He presently serves as Vice President of the Union Square Partnership, and member of The Greenwich Village Chelsea Chamber of Commerce and Village Alliance. He has served as Chairman of Community Board #8 in the Bronx for three years, where he was a driving force behind the creation of the 197-A plan, a system by which city agencies and local groups inspire area growth. Bill has been President of the Board of directors of the Riverdale YM-YWHA, and was past President of the Benjamin Franklin Reformed Democratic Club.
He is a recipient of a 2000 David Rockefeller Fellowship that helps develop top private sector leaders and engages them in New York City's public arena. He has been selected several times as “Commander for the Day” by the Policeman's Association and “Principal for a Day” by PENCIL. Mayor Bloomberg appointed Bill to the Workforce Investment Board, where he currently serves on the One Stop Committee.
Bill is an adjunct professor at New York University, where he teaches courses in Facility Management and Leadership in Management. Bill has owned a number of condos and co-ops in New York, and served as president of his condominium board for over five years. He has done numerous residential and commercial deals, serving on Real Estate Board of New York’s (REBNY) Residential Rental Committee, and REBNY’s Retail Committees.
Most recently, Bill was a finalist for REBNY’s Retail Deal of the Year 2012 for putting the national coffee shop Stumptown on the corner of Eighth St. and MacDougal St. He is a consummate leader and role model, and always approachable regarding new deals and meeting new people.

Dear Bill,
Thank you very much for all your efforts and collaboration in getting 3 MacDougal Alley rented. You have been a true pleasure to work with and the epitome of a professional deal maker - particularly in this difficult market, this is critical! I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the near future.
Sincerely,

Bill,
You deserve the biggest thank you, this was a real trial! I am so happy that it finally worked out, because , literally, it seemed like touch and go! The disingenuousness of the other brokers and the way they kept confusion and dishonesty at play was truly exhausting. It has been a pleasure working together with you, I'll miss talking with you and Matt. But we will stay in touch, for sure.

Hi Bill,
I just wanted to send a happy 2018 ad thank you note from myself and my husband. We’re renting at 214 Riverside in apartment 709 while we renovate in the same building. Rachel Stowell has been managing our apartment, etc.
Your organization is run so incredibly well- professional, responsive, and courteous, and Rachel has been above and beyond in ALL counts.
I told her if everyone rented from organizations like yours with people like her, the world would be a better place indeed. It truly is inspiring.
Keep up the great work.
Best, Rebecca

Bill,
Thank you for a terrific job. From the start you were focused, determined and committed and it all culminated in an amazing deal.
This lease would not have been achievable without the perseverance, diligence and professional guidance of all involved. You and your team, including Matt, were tenacious in finding and pursuing Sezanne and negotiating what I believe is a remarkable rent in a retail market saturated with vacancies. Debby, not only helped negotiate the $200k + release fee from the former tenant, Wolverine, she also provided me essential guidance particularly during the lease negotiations. At your's and Debby's recommendation, Doug Taus handled the legal. He was succinct, efficient and effective in both the Wolverine Release agreement and the new lease with Sezanne. The clear summary's of the issues at each round of the lease negotiations made the entire process most efficient.
Once again, on behalf of KGS Elizabeth, I thank you for all your effort and thoroughness. It was reassuring knowing that you were entrenched from day one. Thank you again.
Most Sincerely,
Michael Katz
