Q: The approximate number of years you have been a subscriber and/or how the NYREJ has been a benefit to you and/or your business:
A: I started to read the NYREJ when it was first published. I remember thinking that if this regional publication is anything like its sister publication for New England, it will be a great addition for everyone involved in commercial real estate in New York. As a commercial real estate broker that specializes in commercial property financing for over 30 years, the NYREJ has proven itself to be a powerful tool for me for many reasons. I like to read about my competition as well as all the other companies involved in our industry. I have advertised in the Journal and have had closings directly related to those advertisements.
