Klemmer spoke about the SIOR Chapter members being the elite members of the commercial real estate community. He spoke about the SIOR members friendship created over 25 years, the comradery, the eco-system and how connected SIOR members are to the relevant points of real estate vendors. That SIOR members advise to the CEOs and real estate directors of major firms that seek the assistance of legal, environmental, architectural, construction, lending, appraisal, etc. SIOR members are well connected to the entire array of service points at a higher level than most of the brokerage community. Klemmer spoke about how tight knit the SIOR members were and that led to being highly concentrated and nimble.

The evening continued and was enjoyed by all. The SIOR Chapter would like to thank Rob Nahigian for scheduling this event at the BC Club.
