Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) celebrated the grand opening of its new headquarters on December 2 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house at its new location at Suite 310, 1305 Walt Whitman Road in Melville. More than 150 members, staff, stakeholders, community partners, and local lawmakers attended throughout the day to tour the state-of-the-art facility and mark a transformative moment in the association’s history.
The new headquarters now serves as LIBOR’s central hub for operations, education, and member engagement, and is also home to LIBOR’s Melville REALTOR® Service Center. LIBOR will continue operating its Jackson Heights REALTOR® Service Center to support members across Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties.
LIBOR CEO Doreen Spagnuolo welcomed guests and reflected on the significance of the occasion. “Today, we celebrate far more than a new building; we celebrate progress, vision, and the future of our association,” said Spagnuolo. “Our move to 1305 Walt Whitman Road marks a major milestone in LIBOR’s evolution. This modern, centralized space was designed intentionally with our nearly 26,000 members in mind, and every detail supports education, innovation, and deeper community engagement. This new home strengthens how we serve, how we support professionalism, and how we continue to lead in a rapidly changing real estate landscape.”
The headquarters feature advanced technology, modern training and meeting rooms, collaborative workspaces, and in-house video production capabilities, envisioned to enhance professional development opportunities and elevate the overall member experience.
LIBOR President Mark Donnelly emphasized the importance of the new space in supporting the association’s long-term mission. “Our new headquarters reflects LIBOR’s commitment to moving the industry forward,” said Donnelly. “By investing in a central, accessible, and modern environment, we are ensuring that our members have the tools, education, and support they need to thrive. This space positions LIBOR to continue delivering exceptional value for years to come.”
Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D-Plainview) joined leaders from LIBOR, community leaders and colleagues in government from Nassau and Suffolk Counties. He presented a Nassau County Legislature Citation to Marlo Paventi, LIBOR’s senior director of public policy and government affairs, in commemoration of the momentous milestone.
“Across Long Island, LIBOR leads the way in providing the services that help its members thrive and excel in their field – all of which helps to make the American dream of home ownership more accessible throughout our region,” Drucker said. “It was a pleasure to celebrate this impressive milestone with the leaders and members of LIBOR, and I wish them continued success in their advocacy for the future of our region.”
