Name: Dov Bleich 

Title: Senior Director 

Company Name: Tri State Commercial Realty

Year that you entered your current field? 2018

What do you consider to be your greatest professional accomplishment in the past 12 months?

I recently joined the industry seven months ago and have successfully completed 18 retail lease transactions. This accomplishment motivates me and I am looking forward to filling up many more vacant spaces in the area. I am equally excited to contribute to the resurgence of Brooklyn’s neighborhoods.

My success can definitely be attributed to Tri State’s team, great leadership, and the system they have put in place is literally a receipt to success.

The team provided extensive training and was always available when I needed help.

My advice is simple, when you first begin don’t have any expectations from anyone; whatever work you put in is the level of success you will achieve. And that’s the art of brokerage. Work tirelessly! Knowledge is power! Know every block, every street corner, and every vacancy in all markets you want to be in.
