We are Thankful this Year

It’s the month to be thankful. If you have a job, own a business and have a good place to work, you are more fortunate than many on this planet. Everyone here at Coldwell Banker Commercial have thought about what we are thankful for. I wanted to share these thoughts (from our business perspective) with you.

1. Thankful for a great city. Salem is an amazing city. Leaders deeply care about the community, active citizens express important concerns and the business community is dynamic. In commercial real estate, we are grateful for all of the incredible support.

2. Thankful for technology. We are now able to integrate amazing technology into our new developments and buildings. This is helping buildings become safer, more environmentally efficient and more cost effective. Technology has allowed more flexibility for workers with a variety of abilities. Never before have we been able to create structures that are comfortable, responsible and aesthetically pleasing.

3. Thankful for our professional and technical partners. Every day we get to collaborate with amazing people in the real estate industry. There is an absolute passion to help a person find their ideal workplace or to help a company fulfill a vision. Our local construction companies, architects, bankers, attorneys and insurance companies all contribute to the ultimate success of a commercial real estate agreement. Commercial real estate is only successful when there are talented and reliable partners in the trades. Salem’s new Career and Technical Education Center is just one of the ways our town is investing in providing critical skills and experience in the building trades.

Finally, as you know our company lost a key team member to cancer this month. Tiffany Jones lost a brave fight to cancer. We were so thankful that she chose to spend much of her precious time on Earth with us. To everyone who knew her, thank you for your kind words. In her memory, we will open the Tiffany Jones Children’s Scholarship Fund at Pioneer Trust Bank for her three wonderful children.
