Commercial real estate always trails residential, and as residential growth flourishes, shopping centers flourish and service the communities, and jobs come out.

In the real estate business you learn more about people, and you learn more about community issues, you learn more about life, you learn more about the impact of government, probably than any other profession that I know of.

I was into real estate. I was always an entrepreneur.

I've always wanted to be the biggest real estate man to come down the pike.

To my real estate agent, Chernobyl is a fixer-upper.

My businesses are all related - retail, shopping centers, banking, real estate, and tourism development. Together they create synergy.
