What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2011?
Having Ingram & Hebron Realty selected to exclusively represent SL Green in the office leasing of the historic 300,000 s/f 16 Court St. in Downtown Brooklyn.
What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2012? Office leasing is undoubtedly improving as 2011 closes. Development sites are red hot (and rare). Investment sales are steadily ramping back up. It looks good!
What are your resolutions for 2012?
Be a better and healthier father, husband, son and real estate professional.
Never forget that it is someone else's money, hopes and dreams that I am privileged enough to be trusted with every day.
Recommit to consistently utilize my iPad and smartphone instead of yellow sticky notes. (See last year's similar pledge...)
