Managing property during a downturn can really separate the cream of the crop. Value is derived from solid operating fundamentals, not from a run-away market. IREM Delaware Valley Chapter No. 3 is pleased to present Joel Naroff, Chief Economist, Commerce Bancorp, as he helps us navigate fact from fiction. Joel will use his wit and wisdom to address the credit markets, Federal Reserve, interest rates, and local market trends. This will enable the informed property manager to better prepare their business for the current and future economic cycles and respond proactively to micro and macro trends in the commercial real estate industry.
Joel L. Naroff, PH.D., Commerce Bancorp Chief Economist
