What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2011?
My greatest professional accomplishment in 2011 was helping many real estate companies gain widespread recognition for innovative services and transactions in an otherwise sluggish market. Examples include a company that shifted its focus to the national healthcare real estate market and another which developed a unique online international website for buying and selling loans and distressed properties.
