Gebroe-Hammer's Joseph Brecher And Eli Rosen Named "Broker All-Stars"

LIVINGSTON, N.J., Nov. 24, 2009 - Gebroe-Hammer Associates' Joseph Brecher and Eli Rosen have been named 2009 Broker All-Stars in recognition of their outstanding accomplishments in the commercial real estate brokerage industry. They were among 32 professionals recently honored and profiled by Real Estate New Jersey, a prominent trade publication.

Brecher, executive vice president, was cited for his creativity and expertise in spearheading five major multi-family investment sales transactions totaling nearly $49 million over the past year. Responsible for overseeing the firm's sales activity throughout the Central New Jersey and Philadelphia markets, he has advanced through the ranks by brokering more than $1 billion in multi-family sales since 2001. Most recently, he closed the $13.5 million sale of Cooper Landing Apartments, a 176-unit mid-rise complex in Cherry Hill, N.J., representing the seller in a transaction that involved implementing a 1031 exchange.

"Joseph is widely respected for the talent and perspective he brings to every transaction, regardless of the number of units or complexity of the deal," said Ken Uranowitz, managing director of Gebroe-Hammer. "He continually distinguishes himself by overcoming even the most difficult obstacles related to closing transactions, including deal structuring in today's difficult lending environment."

Rosen, senior vice president, was acknowledged for orchestrating three major investment sales transactions totaling more than $20.5 million during the past 12 months. In July 2009, he teamed with Brecher to orchestrate the $17.25 million sale of the 305-unit Marshall Woods Apartments in Upper Darby, Pa., representing the seller and procuring the buyer. Since joining the firm in 2004, Rosen has been credited with more than $250 million in sales involving more than 3,000 apartments and 35,000 square feet of commercial space.

"Eli has been the major force behind Gebroe-Hammer's entry into the Philadelphia metropolitan area market," said Uranowitz. "His hands-on approach, intellect and market knowledge have greatly impressed his peers, property owners and investors and legal and financial advisors throughout the industry. Buyers and sellers alike seek out both Joseph and Eli to represent their personal investment interests because of their highly proficient expertise, business savvy and friendly disposition."

Gebroe-Hammer Associates is the region's dominant real estate investment brokerage firm specializing in the sale of multi-family, retail and commercial properties. In addition to its strong presence in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Gebroe-Hammer is active throughout New York State. Clients include private owners, REITS, private equity firms and other institutional investors.
