Two Former FirstService Professionals Found New Management Company

Nov. 13, 2014 — Michael Mintz and Dawn Dickstein, formerly of FirstService Residential New York, have teamed to form MD2 Property Group, a real estate company that provides management, consulting and investment services in the rental, cooperative and condominium markets.

"After more than 12 years in New York City property management, we recognized that the industry suffers from overstretched managers and support staff who are not compensated commensurate to their responsibilities, contributing to high turnover," explains president and co-founder Dickstein. "This turnover makes it virtually impossible to deliver consistent, quality management services. At MD2, strong performers have the opportunity to become stakeholders in the company. This structure allows us to attract and retain better talent, making all the difference in the level of service we provide."

Dickstein has more than 20 years of experience in all aspects of the management business, most recently as a managing director for FirstService, where she oversaw a portfolio of close to 5000 units. MD2 CEO Mintz has spent his entire career in real estate, including in management and acquisition, and has guided buildings through major capital projects. Their offices are at 6 East 39th Street in Manhattan.
