Where We Started,
+ The Exciting Road Ahead

Emanuel E. Falk and A. Louis Drucker met as children in the Drucker family grocery store. In 1938, they established a real estate and insurance partnership that laid the foundation for Drucker + Falk. From the beginning, we have embedded our Aim Higher™ business culture into everything we do. We have always prioritized a forward-thinking, people-focused approach, which has helped us grow into one of the nation’s largest and most respected property management and commercial real estate organizations. Now under the leadership of third-generation owners and Managing Directors Wendy Drucker, Kellie J. Falk, and David Falk, Jr., our company continues to thrive and looks forward to an even brighter future.
