Testimonials

Last month's joint meeting with the Raritan Valley Chapter of the IMA, as well as the presentation by Andrew Zezas and Lou Desiderio from Real Estate Strategies Corporation on the topic of “Aligning Real Estate Strategies to the Strategic Business Plan” was very enlightening. I just started a new job in January as a controller of a company. Real Estate Strategies were one of the lowest priorities on my list prior to Mr. Zezas' and Mr. Desiderio's presentation, but that has certainly changed now. Please join me in thanking Andrew and Lou for his excellent presentation on behalf of the Morris-Essex Chapter; as well as thanking Mr. Hugh Gordon, CMA, president of the Raritan Valley Chapter for hosting our joint meeting.

Sincerely,

William Barish

Morris-Essex Chapter, President




Hi Andrew:

You did an excellent job presenting "Effective Strategies in Tenant and Buyer Representation at the SIOR Central Canadian Chapter's 42nd Annual Fall Conference. You are the best speaker I have heard in a long time! Thank you!


Make it a Great Day!

Dear Andrew:

I enjoyed your presentation at the Fall Conference. It was very professional. I like your style!

Dear Andy:

I was sitting with a couple of seasoned office brokers who started out as "naysayers" but quickly realized that what you were talking about was really good stuff!

Thanks again for taking the time and interest in presenting a topic you know so well to the benefit of all present. I know even developers came away with a better understanding of the role of a good Tenant Rep. broker.

Dear Andy,

Thank you for traveling to Toronto to speak to our chapter last week. Your presentation was great, thought provoking, controversial, and insightful. (Love the Airline landing).


Best Regards,

Randy Borron

Andy:

I am sure everyone took something away from your presentation to help them in their respective business - the turnout of over 250 was excellent (as a result of the topic), and the audience was captivated!

David Hurst, MIMA, FRI, AACI, SIOR

Andrew:

I am a developer, not an agent nor broker. When I heard about the topic about which you were speaking, and not having heard you speak before, I was prepared to be bored. To my pleasant surprise, I found your presentation to be lively and informative, and I enjoyed it very much. An insight into the thought processes of the real estate professionals with whom we interact daily is of great value.

Yours truly,

John W. Jones, P. Eng.

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for your well-presented and professionally delivered speaker program at our January 24th Membership Meeting. Your presentation was entertaining yet informative. Most importantly, it was a thought provoking journey that illustrated that thorough focus and by applying simple in-house skill-sets, property managers and vendors can contribute value to the leasing process for real estate owners and investors.

We were looking for a high-energy presentation to begin our year. You definitely provided that while also offering some interesting and useful ideas for our members to take back with them.
I received some great feedback from the event from our members.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Patrick J. Connelly, CPA
BOMA





Andy,

Your presentation on Aligning Real estate with a Company's Business Objectives was a great presentation and, speaking for myself and on behalf of the NJ chapter of FEI, I want to thank you. Your talk was engaging, informative, substantive and well-paced. When it’s time to look for that second career (way down the road), I think you should head for the rubber-chicken speaking circuit!

Thanks again,

Ken R. Drossman
