25 Year Anniversary Q&A: C. Jaye Berger
Name: C. Jaye Berger​
Title: Principal​
Company Name: Law Offices C. Jaye Berger
Q: The approximate year you discovered the NYREJ and what business you were in at the time:
A: I was definitely an attorney and would see them on coffee tables in the waiting areas of people's offices. It was definitely something one needed to subscribe to in order to stay current in the real estate industry.
Q: Your most memorable or favorite "15 minutes of fame" in the NYREJ:
A: Writing a construction column and real estate articles for NYREJ has been a great experience. I love when clients come to see me about a particular problem and they bring along one of my articles on the topic, which they have marked up for the meeting. When we start discussing the topic, they often say "Yes, just like you said in your article." Glad to see that so many people are reading and saving them.
