DJ Johnston, Partner and Senior Managing Director at B6 Real Estate Advisors honored as the winner of the 2021 Kinsey Community Leadership Award for his advocacy and evangelism around housing, homelessness, inclusion, and education in commercial real estate.
The NYC broker is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York, Board Member at the Bed-Stuy BID, Reconnect Brooklyn, Conscious Step, and Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
“This acknowledgment is very dear to my heart. It is a true honor to be compared, in any small way, to such a remarkable and deeply loved person,” says DJ Johnston. “James Kinsey embodied the values of integrity, knowledge, and leadership, attributes I hope to mimic in my own career and life. As a father of three myself, he has inspired me to prioritize family, and that family can be a source of strength and inspiration in our business. I send all my love and respect to his loved ones at home, and to his work colleagues at Avison Young. Thank you for this unbelievable recognition and I know we will all make him proud as we live out his legacy of compassion, family, and community.”
The inaugural award honors the late Jim Kinsey, his legacy, and commercial real estate brokers in the investment sales business that embody Jim’s spirit.
“Jim was not only my brother and best friend but also my mentor and business partner,” said Marisa Kinsey. “His level-headed calm demeanor was invaluable as we navigated the property management world together. We could always find a way to joke and bring levity to the most difficult situations we came up against together. His humor, advice, partnership, knowledge, and support cannot be matched and will eternally be missed.”
With the support of the Kinsey family, his friends, and colleagues, Sonoture will remember Jim’s legacy and honor investment sales brokers that embody Jim’s spirit of passion, inclusion, respect, and dedication with the Kinsey Community Leadership Award.
