BIO
Gene, Sales Associate at The Blau & Berg Company, is responsible for selling and leasing client properties. He has been with the company since 2011.
Since most of his experience has been working in the chemical industry in controllership and real estate, he utilizes that experience in his position as sales consultant. Accordingly, selling or leasing small to midsize buildings that housed an industrial process are opportunities in which he can be most efficient.
While in the industry, he sold or leased industrial realty amounting to over $200,000,000. Much of this property was adversely affected by environmental conditions, which took time to clean and remediate prior to sale. In the effort to sell certain buildings and the land attached thereto, he spent much time in plant shutdowns and demolition of certain facilities that enhanced the eventual sale of the property. While in the corporate industry, he represented the Pacific Institute in facilitating The Investment in Excellence program for management and employees.
