30 Under 30: VP brings new ideas and a positive attitude

Valerie Pettine, Metro Commercial

What is your most notable project, deal or transaction?

Our company handles many listings for Cedar Realty Trust including two adjacent centers in Trexlertown, PA which I am the lead broker. Trexlertown used to be a market with limited retail and in the past few years in these centers we have done a dozen deals from great regionals to strong national tenants. It has been a great experience to watch the retail market grow and become a desirable market. How do you contribute to your company and / or the industry? The retail commercial real estate industry is a small world and your reputation is a large part of your business. No matter what I am working on, I always try to maintain a positive attitude and be pleasant. People are more likely to help you and make deals happen when they enjoy working with you.
