Andrew B. Zezas, SIOR, on his roles and responsibilities:
Relationship Manager "It is our responsibility to manage, maintain, and protect the relationships our customers and clients permit us to have with them."
Strategist
"My role is to think with our clients, and to impart to them knowledge from our collective experiences, and wisdom; to heighten their ability to think creatively about their companies' present and future financial and operational objectives; to plan and execute flexible, value-enhancing real estate scenarios; to reduce decision and execution risk, and to structure alternatives that support their business requirements and exit strategies.”
President & CEO
"As visionary, leader, and senior internal decision-maker at RealStrat, my personal involvement with each of our client-engagements assures maximum efficiency and a creative approach to solving the most challenging business or real estate problems. While "President & CEO" is the least important component of my title, as chief executive at RealStrat, the buck stops with me! Our clients appreciate that."
