In the commercial real estate business, there are few father and sons working together, but Lee & Associates of IL is not short of father/son working relationships.
James Planey, SIOR, principal and one of the founders of Lee & Associates has brought his son into the business. Donald Planey is part of our research department learning the commercial real estate business. Donald was asked what it is like to work with his father and his response was, “It’s a pleasure to work with a man who has been my role model my entire life. I look forward to continuing to develop as a researcher for Lee.”
Chris Myers is the Managing Director of the Lee & Associates of IL valuation and consulting team. His son, Harrison is a commercial real estate appraiser.
Rick Scardino is one of the principals and head of the retail group. His sons, Giovanni and Anthony, are both interns learning the retail business. “The opportunity to learn the trade of real estate from my father and many other respected brokers in this company has truly been an invaluable experience. I look forward to the opportunity of joining the Lee & Associates team in the near future,” says Giovanni Scardino.
Michael Androwich is a principal with Lee and his son; Michael Androwich, Jr. is an associate. Michael Androwich Jr. commented about working with his father and Lee, “I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to start my career in commercial real estate at Lee and Associates. To be able to work with my father and some of the other brokers at our firm on a daily basis has been instrumental in my early development as a broker.”
