Professional Profile: Stephanie Romano - 2018

Education: BS from University of Connecticut

CRE Industry Association member: CCIM Membership Chair

What does your firm do and any plans for the future? Regions Commercial is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and advisory services company providing in-depth commercial and investment real estate services throughout CT.

Keys to success: Perseverance is the only key I credit any of my successes to in life and business.  

Do you have a mentor, and if so who and why? I believe in this type of job (maybe all jobs) your mentor should be your boss and that you should work hard to position yourself in a place where this is true.  This is definitely the case for me as I’ve found someone willing to work with me as both an equal/teammate and a mentor/champion.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Doing more of the same; I love this job!

If you had to choose a different profession, what would it be? If I had to choose, I would say lawyer.  If I could choose, I would say stand-up comedian.

Favorite novel: An impossible question! There are so many!

Favorite film: At the moment, it is “What We Do in the Shadows” (highly recommended for a lot of laughs)

Hobbies: Reading, boxing, cooking
