What's the best way for a company to make a sound real estate decision? Take advice from people who have been there.
      Mike Demperio, Managing Principal, Industrial Properties of Newmark & Company Real Estate explains: "I blend my development experience with my brokerage experience, and that gives me the best stage on which to represent my clients. Newmark & Company is fairly entrepreneurial, allowing its brokers to take all of our experiences in development, tenant representation, and landlord representation and bring it all together in a team atmosphere, present the information to our clients, then advise them to help make the right real estate decision."
      Since the mid-1970s, Demperio has developed 8.5 million sq. ft. (789,650 sq. m.) of industrial space and owned more than $60 million worth of land, and he uses that experience to advise his clients. In addition to Demperio's experience, clients are also served by Newmark's financial and legal experts, taxation specialists, engineering and environmental professionals, and construction and project managers.
      "For each project, we draw from all of the disciplines in our office so every client need is precisely met," notes Demperio. "This customer-focused approach enables us to maintain our leadership position in real estate advisory services."
