Which professional accomplishment, honor or achievement
has meant the most to you and why?
Real estate organizations / affiliations:
Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY); International
Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC); Young Real Estate
Professionals of New York (YREPNY) and UJA Federation
of New York.
What advice would you give to those just starting out in
commercial real estate?
The key to success in this business is to be passionate and have
perseverance. Most, importantly you should not be
discouraged if you could not close a particular deal. Deals do
not just fall on your lap; it takes time and dedication to
establish yourself in this business. The most successful
brokers in our industry are those that have common sense,
work the hardest, love what they do and consistently move
forward year in and year out. There is no school that will
teach you grit that will help you survive and be successful in
this industry.
Where would you like to be 10 years from today?
To be honest, I love what I do so if I'm lucky enough I will be
exactly where I am today.

Khodadadian of Skyline focuses on off-market deals
Establishing my own commercial real estate brokerage firm that
fills a much-needed void in a market that is dominated by the
"major" real estate companies. Through perseverance we are on
track to generate more than $2 million in commissions in our
first year of operation. By focusing strictly on off market deals
rather than "exclusives listings," we have managed to close
many transactions in perhaps the most competitive environment
I have seen in my 10 years in the industry.
Which project, deal or transaction was the "game changer"
in the advancement of your career?
Candidly speaking, there isn't one deal that was a "game
changer," every deal takes a life of its own. Whether it is
classified as big deal or small, each deal has taught me a lesson
that has aided me in adding value to the services I provide to
my clients as well as help me to continue to grow within the
real estate profession.
Who or what has been the strongest influence on your
career and why?
The strongest influence on my life was my father.
Unfortunately I didn't realize it until he passed away late last
year. He embodied the things I aspire to myself: hard work,
dedication, unflappability, integrity and a certain sense of joy
in one's work. When I hit a roadblock, I ask myself "what
would dad do" and it helps bring me back to my emotional
center and refocus on what is important.
