What year did you discover the New England Real Estate Journal and what business were you doing at that time? I have been reading the New England Real Estate Journal since the mid 1970s-living next door to Rolly Hopkins it was required reading for the neighborhood, even for teenagers. My interest in the commercial real estate industry was born in those early years as I read articles detailing the growth of the city. The names of The Codman Company, Meredith & Grew, Ryan Elliot and RM Bradley were well known to me long before I became part of the industry myself.
I continue to read the Journal today as it helps me stay abreast of market deals, trends and available property and will continue to use it as a resource going forward.
