Malika Rose is a native New Yorker passionate about real estate, relationship-building, and client satisfaction. Her approach to real estate is informed by her previous career as a professional tennis player, which instilled in her a strong sense of discipline, an exemplary work ethic, and a lifelong pattern of setting and achieving goals. She invests time into truly understanding her clients’ perspectives because it leads to better home recommendations and a more synergistic working relationship.

Malika played competitive junior tennis from the age of 8. She was awarded a full tennis scholarship to Oklahoma State University, where she earned All Big-12 conference honors and a degree in Business. Following graduation, she became a tennis professional on the ITF Pro Circuit, earning a WTA ranking in singles and doubles. After a long and fulfilling career in tennis, Malika pursued her other dream – New York City real estate. In 2021 she joined The Abby Palanca Team, which has done over $300M in sales and has been ranked in the WSJ Top Small Teams category since 2019.

As part of The Abby Palanca Team, Malika loves helping renters and first-time homebuyers in Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, and Lower Manhattan. She has also worked on luxury apartments and Brooklyn townhomes. She was born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn. When she’s not doing showings or scanning listings for clients, you can find Malika playing tennis, indulging in the vast NYC restaurant scene, or planning her next trip abroad.
