ROCHELLE PARK, N.J. – July 27, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Thirteen new members representing a broad range of commercial real estate-related professions have been accepted as members of the Industrial and Office Brokers Association of the New York Metropolitan Area (IOREBA). Dating back more than eight decades, IOREBA now has members in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
“IOREBA provides outstanding educational and networking opportunities,” said David Simon, newly installed 2011-2012 IOREBA President and Cassidy Turley Managing Principal, New Jersey. “The continued growth of this organization is a testament to the benefits it provides its members.”
The most recent list of new members includes:
• Frank Caccavo, Executive Vice President, Cushman & Wakefield of New Jersey, Inc., Edison, NJ
• Carmine Cerminara, AIA, Cerminara Architect, Hillsborough, NJ
• Robert Donnelly, Jr., Executive Director-Capital Markets Group, Cushman &
Wakefield of New Jersey, Inc., Morristown, NJ
• Stephen E. Fauer, President, Environmental Strategies & Applications, Inc., Middlesex, NJ
• Charles Fern, Managing Director, Jones Lang LaSalle, Iselin, NJ
• Timothy Fitzpatrick, Principal, Argent Associates, Edison, NJ
• Mark Follender, Esq., Partner, Scarinci Hollenbeck, Lyndhurst, NJ
• Terry Frasseto, Senior Vice President of Property Management, Cassidy Turley, Rochelle Park, NJ
• Rick Heilmann, Principal, The Arlington Group, Red Bank, NJ
• Matthew Kirby, Head of Operations, CompShop, LLC, Allentown, NJ

• Douglas Rickert, Chief Operating Officer, Langan Energy Solutions, LLC, Elmwood Park, NJ
• Anthony Tomaro, Managing Director, Dancker Sellew & Douglas, Somerville, NJ
“I have attended IOREBA functions as a guest and was impressed with the energy of the group,” said Follender. “The organization is an important resource for a commercial real estate attorney such as myself. The brokers I meet impart their day-to-day experiences in the marketplace, shaping the advice I pass on to my clients.”
“As a member a number of years ago when I was with another firm, I found IOREBA to be a great source of information along with networking with brokers outside of my primary market areas,” said Heilmann. “I rejoined to reconnect with the brokers and to attend the meetings, all of which cover topics of great interest.”
“The vast majority of our work is derived from the purchase, sale or refinance of industrial and commercial properties,” said Fauer. “It made perfect sense to utilize IOREBA’s resources to solidify our current relationships and create new ones.”
“Our firm’s mission is to foster productivity and growth by creating great spaces at work,” said Tomaro. “For this purpose, membership in IOREBA will help further connect business professionals with organizations that share a commitment to improving the quality of the places in which we work.”
“As a member of other real estate organizations, I’ve seen IOREBA’s growth and wanted to be part of the networking and programming opportunities,” said Donnelly.
“With social media changing the way companies do business, IOREBA also has a LinkedIn group for members to continue networking outside of scheduled events,” noted IOREBA Secretary Adam Silver. Members also have the value-added benefit of exposure in the “Members” section of www.ioreba.com, featuring company listings, headshots and bios. Members can also post press releases in the Member News section. Both areas can be viewed by all visitors to the site.
The next scheduled event is a summer social. IOREBA’s Beach Party for Suits is slated for Thursday, July 28, 2011 at Halcyon’s Upper Deck in Montclair, N.J.
With roots dating back to 1927, IOREBA is one of the nation’s largest regional commercial real estate groups. The organization has continually expanded its offerings, designing more useful programs and teaming with co-hosts for several events to improve the networking environment.
