Harry Zlokower of Zlokower Company Public Relations
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. Others of our clients closed millions of dollars in commercial sales transactions, demonstrated the huge potential in the luxury apartment rental market, and revitalized shopping centers around the country. We showcased a company specializing in tenant improvement funding, one that is behind a retail transformation in Harlem, a high powered architectural husband and wife team, and real estate lawyers whose skills in jiu jitsu and spinning are topped only by their expertise in condo law.
