Livingston IT Entrepreneur Makes Successful Switch To Real Estate

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Who says that you can’t change a horse in mid-stream?

After a successful 10-year run in the information technology industry, Livingston resident Adam Zweibel has made the tough leap to real estate, netting earned his firm’s top honor for 2017: “Salesperson of the Year.”

Zweibel – who was named a vice president at Livingston-based Gebroe-Hammer Associates just three years after joining the firm’s broker-trainee program – previously served as president of Alpha Technology Group, a company he successfully built, restructured and eventually sold to Strategic Micro Systems.

He made the leap to real estate shortly afterward, putting his “innate zeal and extreme drive” to work, Gebroe-Hammer reported.

According to the firm, Zweibel has completed more than 40 deals for a combined total of more than 5,057 multi-family units sold (about $556.7 million).

“Words like ‘no’ and ‘can’t’ simply are not part of Adam’s vocabulary,” said President Ken Uranowitz. “While some people get deflated at hearing these terms, he goes full throttle to achieve the ‘yes’ and the ‘can,’ and the results speak for themselves. Adam’s unwavering entrepreneurial spirit and intuitive analytical and problem-solving skills have led to his exponential year-over-year sales increases throughout Central and South Jersey and beyond. These aren’t just personal and firm bests, they are investment brokerage industry ‘bests’ as well.”

Zweibel was named the Gebroe-Hammer’s newest honoree for tripling his 2017 sales benchmarks over 2016 and closing several prominent eight-digit sales. These included Waterside Villas in Monroe Township ($19.2M/99 units); Carriage Club Apartments in Mt. Arlington ($24M/105 units); Orchard Drive Apartments in Whitehall, PA ($18.5M/264 units); Olympic Gardens in Brick ($10M/94 units); Crest Ridge Apartments in West Orange ($45M/178 units); and an off-campus college housing complex in Central New Jersey ($19.7M/63 units).

In addition to representing private individual owners, Zweibel’s client base includes REITs, private equity firms and institutional investment entities, the firm stated.
