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 have been reading the Long Island Real Estate Journal about 9 years since I joined LICN. I was a mortgage broker providing residential and commercial mortgages. The most meaningful time I was in the paper was recently when I had an article published in the Green Section about energy reduction. The Journal helps me keep up with the industry and the people in it. It has helped with my transition to my current business interests which are providing commercial private money loans and the use of ultraviolet technology for energy savings in commercial buildings. NYREJ connects me to services for my clients and to new potential partners. I appreciate the exposure I get as well.
