A NEUTRAL NEGOTIATING TOOL

A few downpours later, we dropped by Club Quarters’ Terrace Club for Cigar City Networking’s inaugural event for real estate, financial, construction, and other related industries. Here are hosts Brian Evans of FlagshipPDG and Fred Gasior of Universal Moving & Storage, smoking featured Rocky Patels. Fred tells us that many in the industry enjoy a good cigar, a neutral negotiating tool. The event also featured cigar roller Paula Ventrunelli and Sopranos Wines.
The weather couldn’t dampen the spirit of the event’s 75 attendees, including Tishman Construction’s Stephen D’Alessandro, WFM Project & Construction’s Lou Weiss, and Muss Development’s Robert Machado. Lou tells us that the market is back to basics, and suggests working like you did 30 years ago. Not around then? Watch the guys who were and learn from them. (More photos)
