American Investment Props. features two talented women: Anna Kalloudis and Anna Osadchuk

Who is my mentor and why? As one of Long Island's most successful commercial real estate brokers, Ron Koenigsberg has had an amazing journey through the intricate maze of real estate. Koenigsberg's passion for real estate ignited as a young boy going along with his father to survey construction sites and buildings. Koenigsberg was among the first to attend NYU's Real Estate Institute. Earning a master's degree in real estate development and investment from NYU improved his understanding of the complexity of commercial real estate. Graduating with a bachelor of science in Accounting from the Kogod School of Business at American University, Koenigsberg set out to make his mark on New York's elite business world. In the late 1980s, he joined Arthur Anderson & Co., one of the country's most prestigious accounting firms. Koenigsberg excelled at the firm and gained invaluable insight on the economic aspect of real estate. His time at Arthur Anderson made him recognize that although he had a talent for comprehending numbers and figures, he sought after a position which would allow him to be more creative with his talents.  Much like Koenigsberg as a young boy following in his father's footsteps, I find myself desiring to achieve his level of success progressively more every day. The firm has participated in the sales of over $300 million in commercial property transactions in the Long Island area. Aside from brokering real estate transactions, Koenigsberg is involved in several multi-million dollar projects throughout the Northeast aimed at invigorating communities with state of the art real estate developments. In Bricktown and Cape May, N.J., Koenigsberg co-owns several significant shopping centers featuring national tenants including Big Lots, McDonalds, Pier 1 Imports, and Wendy's.  Experience and talent have made Koenigsberg the person I would like to emulate as his plans for the future surpass his existing outstanding accomplishments. While working at American Investment Properties one of the fastest growing brokerage firms on Long Island. These are all great examples of the person I aspire to be like and some of the future endeavors I look forward to being able to accomplish. Anna Kalloudis the director of communications at American Investment Props., Garden City, N.Y.
