estate standout in 2018. “Joseph Gehler has adeptly earned his stripes to ‘measure up’ to Gebroe-Hammer’s high standards for doing business by thinking entrepreneur- ially and on his feet,” said Ken Uranowitz, president, who announced the annual award at the firm’s 44th Anniver- sary reception recently held at Crestmont Country Club in West Orange, N.J. “Since joining Gebroe-Ham- mer’s industry-unique men- torship program in mid-2016, he has quickly grasped and applies his knowledge of mar- ket conditions and trends to secure exclusive listings and then structure and close those deals,” added Uranow- itz. “Joseph Gehler is the embodiment of the proverbial saying: ‘today’s work breeds tomorrow’s deals.’” As a member of the Greater Philadelphia Metro brokerage team, Gehler is a key figure in contributing toward the advancement of Gebroe-Ham- mer’s dominance as the “go-to” multi-family broker of choice in the City of Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs. He works with a diverse roster of years of experience in multi- family finance. He comes to M&T Realty Capital Corpora- tion fromBarings Multifamily Capital, LLC, where he was employed for the past three years as the Eastern Region Production Manager.

What I am most proud of was my ability to ‘sell’ my skill set and enthu- siasm for learning the multi- family investment brokerage profession and convince the best in this business to hire me as a sales trainee,” said Gehler. “From day one of my brokerage career, I have had the unique chance to be in the trenches – not sitting at a desk in some office gathering mar- ket information – with some of the nation’s top-ranked multi-family brokerage profes- sionals. I wanted this chance to learn from the industry’s top leaders and now – at lightning speed – I’m brokering my own deals while cultivating my own client base.” Michael Berman , president &CEO of M&T Realty Capital Corporation. “His production management experience will be invaluable to both our cus- tomers and our sales team as our company grows.” Heller holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Florida, as well as a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation from New York University.
