Grubb & Ellis|Commercial Florida Executive Tells Young Professionals the Secret of Successful Selling


ORLANDO, Fla. --- Grubb & EllisCommercial Florida president Jeff Sweeney, SIOR, served as featured speaker during a luncheon meeting of the Young Professionals Society at the University Club of Orlando recently and told the group to get ready to take risks.

“You have to seize the moment,” Sweeney told the group. “You have to be self-motivated, disciplined, persistent, and you have to know yourself,” Sweeney said.

Sweeney has more than 30 years of experience as a commercial real estate executive.

Despite a recession that has hit the real estate industry particularly hard, Sweeney said commercial real estate is a career goal with tremendous potential.

“The secret of success is to know yourself,” Sweeney told the group. “Be yourself. Understand the context you are working in and look for the opportunities that are inherent,” he said.
