Decade Answers: Ron Kleinberg
Ron Kleinberg is a partner at Tri-State Properties LLC, Dix Hills, N.Y.
What was one of your corporate or career highlights of the decade?
My partner Dale Staudigel and I feel our most memorable career experience was 10 years ago when we decided to strike out on our own in a era when commercial real estate brokerage firms were growing through mergers and national affiliations. We left a prestigious investment firm and staked our own claim allowing us to be authors of our own destiny creating Tri-State Properties LLC. Even though our crystal ball is cloudy we feel there will not be a cataclysmic event that is going to change the way we do business on Long Island over the next decade. We believe the Long Island economy will not expand to fast or to slow but experience slow and steady growth (Goldilocks economy).
