Simon of Admiral: Proud of Mount Kisco Farm Market
Name: Joan Riklan- Simon
Title: Licensed Real Estate Salesperson
Company: Admiral Real Estate Services
Started in Commercial Real Estate in 1986
What recent project or transaction are you most proud of?
Mount Kisco Farm Market at 21 South Moger in Mount Kisco. The importance of this transaction was the efforts to find a tenant for a downtown "Main St." location across the street from the train station that would be vital to the downtown shopping district. When the previous tenant vacated, the community was calling for another fruit and vegetable market to fit the needs of the patrons. The new tenant had to completely renovate the space down to the floor boards. It was a irregular 4400 s/f space with two entrances - one to South Moger Ave. and the other to the rear municipal parking lot. Paul K. Hong from J One Corp. in N.Y.C. was the tenants salesperson. Opening soon!
What recent honor, achievement or recognition has meant the most to you and why?
My most recent honor was being bestowed Co Star Power Broker of the year for 2013 and 2014 as one of the Top Retail Leasing Brokers.
I always have a list in the morning of calls to make, appointments I am going on and things to accomplish. As far as time management I try to leave as much personal business for after hours even though in real estate there is no after hours anymore. People call, text and email at all hours of the day and night!
