Senior Managing Director
GPARENCY
Recent goal and impact:
In March, my team and I more than doubled our transaction volume and success rate, closing over $250 million across 25+ deals. Our unique, revolutionary process guarantees commercial real estate owners the best financing available in the market for a flat fee of $4,500. The response has been overwhelmingly positive — owners can’t stop raving about the value and transparency we deliver.
Sharing knowledge and expertise:
We’ve seen incredible traction by actively networking both in person and on LinkedIn. Owners and developers are eager for fresh insights into the financing markets and current trends. Thanks to our elevated deal flow and consistent successes, we’re well-positioned to share valuable knowledge about the wide range of financing products available today.
Best advice for new leaders:
Leadership isn’t knowing it all — it’s learning from everyone around you.
