My team and I work on a national platform focused exclusively on the sale of net leased properties under $20 million, primarily retail and office. Our goal is to continue to be an asset to our clients and be the most knowledgeable brokers in this product type while expanding our presence in the Northeast. Persons you admire most (outside of family): Winston Churchill, Jackie Robinson Keys to success: I like people and strive to understand what motivates them, makes them happy and what frustrates them. I think this genuine empathy translates to new business. I am consistent and accountable for my actions. Also, and most surprisingly, simply returning phone calls and e-mails promptly. If you return calls quickly, you may gain new clients, you should retain old clients and you will avoid other's frustration which can also avoid deal pitfalls. If you had to choose another vocation what would it be? Music mogul
