Item 1.01.           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 3, 2008, TRB Enon Springs LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust, entered into a contract of sale dated as of November 25, 2008, with OSM Investments Company, a California corporation, pursuant to which TRB Enon Springs LLC agreed to sell, and OSM Investments Company agreed to purchase, a residential apartment complex in Smyrna, Tennessee for a purchase price of $6,612,000.

On December 3, 2008, TRB Arbors LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust, entered into a contract of sale dated as of November 25, 2008, with OSM Investments Company, pursuant to which TRB Arbors LLC agreed to sell, and OSM Investments Company agreed to purchase, a residential apartment complex in Nashville, Tennessee for a purchase price of $7,404,000.

On December 3, 2008, TRB Cumberland LLC and TRB Archwood LLC, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust, entered into a contract of sale with Embassy Group LLC, a New York limited liability company, pursuant to which TRB Cumberland LLC and TRB Archwood LLC agreed to sell, and Embassy Group LLC agreed to purchase, two residential apartment complexes in Madison, Tennessee for an aggregate purchase price of $7,350,000.

On December 3, 2008, TRB Highland Ridge LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust, entered into a contract of sale with Embassy Group LLC, pursuant to which TRB Highland Ridge LLC agreed to sell, and Embassy Group LLC agreed to purchase, a residential apartment complex in Madison, Tennessee for a purchase price of $7,900,000.

On November 14, 2008, TRB Crestbrook LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust, entered into a contract of sale with Chad M. Ray, an individual, pursuant to which TRB Crestbrook LLC agreed to sell, and Mr. Ray agreed to purchase, a residential apartment complex in Madison, Tennessee for a purchase price of $2,430,000.

Consummation of each of the transactions is conditioned upon satisfaction of specific terms and conditions and delivery of specific documents as is customary for similar transactions.  Each contract of sale provides each purchaser with a due diligence period, pursuant to which each purchaser may, in its sole discretion, terminate such contract of sale during the diligence period.  There can be no assurance that any one or more of these transactions will be completed.

Each of these properties was acquired in July 2008 by wholly-owned subsidiaries of BRT Realty Trust as a result of foreclosure actions.  The contract purchase price for each property, less brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, is approximately such property’s book value, after taking into account any loan loss provisions and impairment charges.
