Mahler Realty reached a huge milestone early last month, as it celebrated its 70th anniversary.
The Baldwin business has been a pillar of the community for seven decades, providing exceptional real estate services and building strong relationships with clients. There was a ribbon cutting on September 8 to commemorate this accomplishment. Mahler Realty is a family owned real estate business that has helped guide clients in all types of residential real estate transactions for 70 years.
“It’s a very important milestone for any company,” Erik Mahler, owner of Mahler Realty, said. “And the fact that it’s still in the same family is pretty darn special.”
Mahler explained that his business was started by his grandfather and grandmother in 1958. Mahler Realty opened in Rockville Centre initially, but within a year after opening, it was moved to Baldwin. Mahler explained that the change was due to Baldwin being a “better community.”
“My grandparents actually opened up the business on Grand Avenue in 1953,” Mahler said. “And then we moved locations in the 1960s.”
Mahler’s grandparents opened Mahler Realty on Grand Avenue in the shopping center across the street from the former site of Pathmark. The business stayed in the shopping center for more than 10 years, before relocating to their present location in 1962. Mahler Realty is currently located at 1030 Merrick Road.
Since 1998, Mahler has been part of Mahler Realty. He said that during the time he’s been working there, he learned how to personally serve clients and represent their best interests. Looking ahead towards the future, Mahler hopes to grow the business by working hard and having dedication towards his clients.
The Mahler family has been actively involved in promoting growth and development in Baldwin. Three generations of Mahler men have taken leadership roles in the Chamber of Commerce. Over the years, they’ve had a hand in many community endeavors, including the design and construction of the Baldwin Historical Society building in 1976.
