Edward Zuker
Founder & CEO
Chestnut Hill Realty
What year did you discover the New England Real Estate Journal? I read an article by Roland Hopkins, with a photo of my father, regarding the establishment of the B’nai B’rith Realty Lodge in the 60’s.
In what way has the New England Real Estate Journal been a benefit to you and your business? I rented apartments in the early 60’s during high school. After college I founded Chestnut Hill Realty and the NEREJ kept me informed of what was happening in our industry. I learned about leasing, buying, selling, constructing and financing in all aspects of real estate throughout New England from the NEREJ.
