Decade Q&A - Albert Scaralia
Albert Scaralia is broker/owner of Albert Realty commercial division, Cranston, RI
What is your most memorable career experience from the past decade (2000-2009)?
There have been many memorable moments, but the ones that stand out are when I had to convince prospective buyers to purchase a property I felt was for them. Years later running into them and they are thanking me.
What major event(s) do you predict for the commercial real estate industry this decade (2010-2019)?
I feel commercial real estate will come back stronger than ever, because of the population growing and the global economy. Businesses will be on the move. It happens after every down turn.
I've been the owner of Albert Realty since 1963, and have experienced many down turns.
