Name: Richard Maltz
Title: CEO
Company Name: Maltz Auctions
Real estate associations or organizations that you are currently a member of: National Association of Bankruptcy, National Auctioneers Association, New York State Association of Realtors, Inc.
What led you to your current profession?
I was raised at my father’s knee, fell in love with cars we auctioned as a teen, and rose through the ranks at Maltz Auctions, learning every role that was necessary within the company, and then further expanded our real estate endeavors. I can’t imagine a better career for myself.

2. Chartering a sailboat to ultimately chart my own course and cruise around the Caribbean with my family would be a dream come true.
3. Exercise mixed with adventure would be right up my alley. I’ve read that swimming with manta rays in the Maldives is extremely cool.
