NEW YORK, NY - Oakline Properties announced a new partnership with Drucker + Falk, a Top-50 NMHC multifamily and commercial property management firm with over 43,000 apartment units under management. The partnership will enable the continued longevity of DF's successful legacy in the property management industry.
