Rotonde of Urstadt Biddle details her most valuable assets
What do you consider to be your most valuable Assets?
I genuinely like talking with people and I have an approachable, gregarious personality. These traits help engage people in discussion, which is crucial to my work. As an acquisitions manager of a real estate investment trust, these personality traits are assets that are difficult to quantify. Getting beyond the preliminary discussion stage, however, requires additional assets. You have to build trust and this requires honesty. You have to communicate regularly in order to be in a position to take advantage of a mutually beneficial opportunity, and this requires tenacity. Honesty and tenacity is the cornerstone of my personal and professional reputation, and these qualities and assets are as important in an up market as they are in a down market.
