How do you keep your team motivated despite conflicts and obstacles?
The key to keeping your team motivated is keeping their eyes on the prize and making sure they are feeling their contribution to our company at all times. Many times reminders are needed and constructive.
Who was/is your mentor and how did s/he influence/help you in your career?
My grandfather, Max Ostro OBM, was my mentor and advisor to me growing up. He influenced me to do not only what I enjoy most, but what will help provide for a livelihood for my entire family and to give back to those less fortunate than ourselves. It so happens to be that real estate was the industry of my choosing and his lessons are very much still relevant in my day-to-day dealings.
Favorite quote:

What led you to your current profession?
My desire to do deals and to be in a field that keeps things interesting with no two days being the same.
