Asaro takes over Industry One Realty Corp.

Mario Asaro made his mark in the industry with United Realty and in a short time had a good name for himself by obtaining numerous "good exclusives" many of which were in the desirable Farmingdale area which explains why many in the industry referred to him as "Mr. Farmingdale." His colleagues and competitors from the Commercial, Industrial, Brokers Society acknowledged him by awarding him with the coveted "Rising Star Award" in 2005 - the year of its inception. When asked about his title as "Mr. Farmingdale" he said, " I do like having the pulse of the Farmingdale commercial industrial market, but I also would like it to be known that I have made many significant deals, in Hauppauge, Huntington, Bohemia, Hicksville and countless other areas as well. I also have been involved with some great retail, and office transactions" Industry One Realty Corp. has been around since 1985 founded by Henry Proto and Bernie Steinberg. In 2002 Bernie retired and sold his shares of the corporation to Proto, and in October of 2009 Asaro negotiated a purchase of the corporation with Proto. Proto will remain on with Industry One as an associate broker. Asaro says his objectives for Industry One Realty Corp. are to energize the company with aggressive marketing of its exclusives and recruit new power brokers to grow Industry One Realty to a medium-large realty brokerage, and possibly become a large national brokerage.
