am seeking a challenging position where my skills and experience may best be

utilized to the benefit of my employer and where there will be opportunity for

professional growth. I have 20 years of experience in the multi-family housing

industry and 1 year in commercial real estate experience for Northeast Airport. I

training, motivation training as well as team player training seminars. I also have

superior marketing experience along with several certificates. My major

accomplishments in the twenty years I have been in the multi family apartment
