Tell us how and when you began your career in the profession you are in: I fell into commercial real estate brokerage. I had been handling REO (real estate owned) for Midlantic Bank (now PNC) when I was approached by the then President of Kislak. At first I didn’t like the business. However, over time it became an excellent choice for me.
What is your current position?
Executive Vice President.
Why did you choose the field/profession you are in today?
I didn’t choose it. I fell into it. However I enjoy it so much it became my hobby- something I love to do.
What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2020?
Getting deals closed during Covid. Just prior to COVID’s shutdown I closed South Orange Square, (31,000 s/f prime retail/ office in the heart of South Orange) and even during the height of COVID I closed 2 apartment deals. This required creativity as we couldn’t enter occupied units.
What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2020?
I have a number of deals in progress now; however already closed I would say South Orange Square on the corner of South Orange Avenue and Scotland. It had 98% occupancy and excellent tenancy.(Investor’s Bank is the primary tenant) Long term relationship with the Seller and Buyer.
