What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2010? While we closed quite a number of commercial mortgage loans for our bank clients as well as several substantial leasing transactions, our most notable "feel good" project was the successful negotiation of a residential mortgage loan re-structuring that enabled an elderly widower to keep his home that otherwise would have been lost in foreclosure. How do you contribute to your company and / or the industry? I do extensive writing and public speaking on real estate topics for our clients and real estate colleagues. What advice would you give to women just starting out in commercial real estate? Network! Network! Network! Learn as much as you can about the industry. Share your expertise with colleagues and your community-for free. It will come back to you ten-fold. Make sure to thank the people who help you! Sounds simple, but saying thank you is often overlooked. How do you manage the work/life balance? When I'm not wearing my pin-striped suit, I make sure I spend as much time as possible connecting with family and friends, cooking, riding horses, painting, reading and traveling. Sleep is way over rated! Who or what has been the strongest influence on your career? There are too many people to mention...but you know who you are! What impact has social networking had on your business? Social networking has given our firm greater exposure in the business world-especially the positive endorsements!
