Deena Rubin Is the Real Estate ‘Shadchan’ You Need
By Jill Kirsch | March 24, 2021
“I love when clients refer to me as their ‘shadchan’,” said real estate agent Deena Rubin, “matching the right seller with the right buyer.”
That is how Deena has always done business during her nearly 22 year real estate career, by “working tirelessly to do the very best for my clients.”
A 29-year resident of West Orange, Rubin had an interesting path to the real estate world. She was a communications major in college, and “back then, it was hard to know what to do with it,” she said. Her professional life began when she worked in “the America’s Cup arena, the most prestigious, oldest sailing venue in the world. … I worked with a woman who was a sailing aficionado, and she taught me the sailing industry and also marketing and public relations. We represented the New Zealand and Italian syndicates and travelled with them, setting up promotional tents up and down the eastern seaboard. [Once I sailed] in the New York harbor with the winning K boat, and Walter Cronkite took the wheel! … [I] had many ‘tikum olam’ moments, as many had never met a practicing Orthodox Jew before.”
