The Essence of Professionalism
Member Benefit
At the heart of AIR and the success of its members is the organization’s strict adherence to integrity and honesty among its broker/members. Central to this is the Association’s “Rules of Professional Conduct”, which prescribes the way members interact in their business dealings in order to ensure that they treat one another with the utmost respect and ethical behavior. In other locales, where an agent does not belong to a broker-owned and controlled organization like the AIR, it is common practice to have commission or other unethical disputes between brokers. Moreover, AIR’s “Rules” have been time-tested, and brokers who agree to them when they become part of the “AIR Family” have more collegial, durable, and long-lasting relationships. In the long run, being candid and truthful is better for brokers and their clients. If you would like more information, or a copy of the AIR “Rules of Professional Conduct”, call Joy De La Cruz at (213) 687-8777. |
Kudos to Board Member Jamison
| The AIR family is pleased to announce that AIR Board Member Jason Jamison, SIOR, president of GM Properties of Whittier, has been selected for inclusion in the coveted “40 and Under” by the prestigious real estate SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA magazine, placing him among the region’s “rising stars” in commercial real estate. Jamison will be featured in this month’s issue of reSOCAL along with the other “40 and Under” recipients. |
“Receiving this designation from a leading real estate publication is exciting for me, but it’s even more rewarding because of the team I work with every day at GM that enabled me to receive this honor,” said Jamison. |
The “40 and Under” recognition is based on several factors, including production, industry and civic involvement. Jamison, 33, has been a member of the AIR Board since 2000. |

Business Roots Buoy Ben Greer
Member Profile
For Ben Greer, becoming a successful commercial real estate broker means going back to his roots. In this case, his business roots. |
Greer is a leading producer on the brokerage team at GM Properties of Whittier where he broke into the business in 2004. But Greer’s earlier accomplishments in the non-real estate business world form the foundation of his current career success. |
| Prior to joining GM Properties, Greer operated his own commercial sign contracting business. Earlier he was vice president of sales for a local paper company where he served for 17 years. |
“Jason (Jamison, president of GM) saw the growth of my sign company and hired me as an unlicensed sales person (Greer gained his license the next year and joined AIR). Jason apparently had a lot of faith in me after seeing my business grow rapidly,” Greer said. |
Greer’s business community experience and contacts have paid off in serving clients with industrial, commercial and office needs. “I have strong recognition in the mid-cities area within the business community. I know many business men and women who have ongoing commercial real estate needs. It’s the reason that about 90 percent of my business is new to GM,” said Greer. These contacts are enhanced by Greer’s long service on the Board of Directors of the Whittier Chamber of Commerce. |
Greer focuses on mid-sized multi-tenant clients both in the tenant and landlord sectors. He attributes his success to hard work and being a good listener. “I like to think I’m adept at enabling a group of negotiating clients reach a consensus that is in everyone’s interest,” Greer said. Among his recent outstanding transactions is the sale of a fully occupied 12,000 square foot multi-tenant building in the Whittier area for $1.5 million representing The Gamber Family. He reports that he will soon achieve the CCIM designation. |
Greer and his wife, Cindy, reside in Whittier. They have four children, Christina, 22, Michelle, 19, Chelsea, 15, and Ryan, 14. In a refreshing flashback to “Happy Days”, Greer is a proclaimed “music nut” in his leisure time, quipping “I still play vinyl records.” He’s also recently served on the Board of the Rio Hondo Symphony. |
