One word to describe your work environment: Patience. Personally I am not the most patient person, but when it comes to real estate I am very mellow because nothing happens overnight.
Rules to live by in business: Perseverance. When I moved to New York a lot of people told me I should concentrate on rentals and that it will take me a very long time to sell anything especially in commercial real estate which is exactly what I love. I’d say the first deal I sold was a 35 unit multifamily investment property with the sell-buy side at a 2% cap rate in Brooklyn for $10.5 million in less than five months in business. I like to dream. When people tell me I cannot do something it gives me even more fire to get it done.
