What year did you discover the New England Real Estate Journal and what business were you doing at that time? I first discovered the NEREJ in 1981 when I entered the real estate business with Coldwell Banker in Boston. That makes 32 years in the business.
In what way has the New England Real Estate Journal been a benefit to you and your business? The Journal has benefitted me in many ways since it is chock full of information regarding commercial real estate from deals that have been consummated to financing to management to trends and predictions. The info is invaluable then now and in the future.
