We picked the brain of our newest industrial real estate professional, Mark Scaletta, to find out his thoughts on the commercial real estate industry and how he’s enjoying working at Shindico.

We all have certain achievements in our careers that we strive to reach. For a restauranteur, it’s a Michelin star; for an NHL hockey team, it’s the Stanley Cup. In commercial real estate consulting, many strive to become members of The Counselors of Real Estate (CRE). I had the honour of being invited to become a member of this prestigious organization this year.

We sat down with one of Shindico’s property managers, Kelly Smith, to find out how he started in the industry and to hear about the day in the life of a property manager.

In 2001, I became one of the 3,100 members in the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR). To this date, I am the only one in Manitoba with an SIOR designation. This designation is synonymous with trust in the world of commercial real estate - only skilled and educated commercial and office real estate professionals are eligible.
