Reta Doughty, a real estate agent with Pinnacle Realty, cooked three meals a day during the pandemic.
âIâd come up with something nice and fancy for breakfast, lunch and dinner,â Doughty said. âI gained 22 pounds, and I just canât seem to get it off. I didnât cook more healthfully â quite the opposite.â
Doughty said sheâs known for her fried apple pies. She made them by the dozens, and froze them.
âOne day, I got in the kitchen and made 400 pies,â she said. âAnother day, I made 200. Iâd take them to people, leave them on their doorstep. I reminded myself of my mama so much, I can tell you that.â

As the pandemic pushed New York’s commercial real estate market into unknown territory, many brokerages held their breath. Not Pinnacle Realty.
The leading independent full-service commercial real estate firm in the city’s outer boroughs is expanding.
“We founded our company back in 2009 during the financial crisis,” said James Tack, one of Pinnacle’s six founding partners. The firm celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. “At the time a lot people said, ‘You have to be crazy to start a company during the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. What are you doing!’ We heard them but knew that it was a good time for us to put the company together. We saw it as an opportunity to rise to the challenge and find new and creative ways to help our customers. It’s the same story today with this pandemic. We are finding ways to help our clients navigate through the uncertainty.”
