Interview with Gary Starr
Q: What about this business excites you the most? Why did you get into it?
A: I started out working in property management, and what really excited me about the business was just helping bring clients into their new office space. The more I worked at Peris, the more interested I became in creating good deals, meeting clients and fostering relationships with them that would last not just two or three months, but maybe five or ten years.
