  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) December 11, 2010 - Two brokerage professionals at Gebroe-Hammer Associates, the region's dominant investment real estate brokerage firm, have been recognized as 2010 Industry Leaders.

The deals involved a total of more than 1,100 residential units, valued in excess of $77.3 million, in three states.

    "Multi-family investments are driving the recovery within the commercial real estate sector, with a mix of traditionally structured deals as well as distressed debt, foreclosure and/or bankruptcy situations," said Ken Uranowitz, managing director. "David and Joseph have demonstrated a unique ability, through their unmatched market knowledge, integrity and vast personal relationships, to facilitate even the most complex transactions and bring them to the closing table. They are both very highly regarded in the industry by sellers, buyers, attorneys and bankers - not to mention other brokers, as well."

While specializing in selling and marketing multi-family investment properties, Oropeza also possesses extensive brokerage experience in office building and retail center properties.

    Brecher is responsible for supervising all of the firm's multi-family investment sales activity throughout Central New Jersey and the Philadelphia, Pa., region, where he is credited with spearheading the expansion of Gebroe-Hammer's client base. Since becoming a sales associate in 2001, he has closed more than $1.6 billion in multi-family transactions throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania as well as Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. He is a two-time Morris Hammer Salesperson of the Year recipient and a three-time Deal of the Year honoree.
