Penney, American Home Products and GTE."We got our following among the corporations because of our service. I am a great believer in follow up and meticulous attention to detail. It is important to listen to what the customer wants. Many brokers just can't meet the paperwork and reporting demands of corporations and their executives. Word of mouth and repeat business is very important to us. Some of these clients have been with us over 15 years, " said Olshan. "Over the last two decades, we have been through many kinds of markets and each presents its own challenge. I think experience has enabled us to maximize property values with a pro-active marketing approach. On the buyer side, we've got the knowledge, skills and contacts to be able to direct the customer to the right deal. Closing the deal is a big key and you need the right agent for that. You hear about buyers losing numerous properties in bidding wars or sellers having many deals collapse. Our batting average is very high because we have the experience and skill to give the clients the information and confidence to make the right move. This is a professional's firm where every agent has a lot of experience and where I am always there to personally speak to any buyer or seller working with my agents. Nobody gets lost."Donna Olshan is a 1976 graduate of George Washington University, the wife of Peter Bonventre, a three-time Emmy award winner and ESPN commentator, and the mother of Martin Bonventre ( 17 ).
