Curley of Cresa Albany discusses first job experience

Name: Tara Curley Title: Principal Company Name: Cresa Albany Years in Commercial Real Estate: 9 Email: [email protected] In the last 12 months, which project, transaction, honor or accomplishment are you most proud of and why? I first entered this industry as a real estate investor. My broker that I used when investing back then recently came into our office to discuss more sophisticated strategies for his portfolio. I couldn't have been more honored. What were your biggest fears when you started out in your profession? That I wouldn't be taken seriously. What was your first job and what did you learn from it? I was hired at 15 years old by an answering service, and sat at one of those old school pegs-on-a-cord phone cabinets. I learned the power of superior phone etiquette and capturing as much correct information as possible in a short amount of time. I use this skill every day. What is your favorite quote? "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." - Wayne Gretzky
