July 2013 CREW Member Spotlight
Caryn Carreiro, CCIM
How did you become a member of CREW Jacksonville? I was a member when the CREW Jacksonville chapter was first organized. I was introduced to CREW by Amy Sterling and Laura Gonzalez and all of the founding members as a professional women’s organization where we could conduct business with individuals whose core industry was in commercial real estate.
Tell us a little about your company and your role. NAI Hallmark Partners was founded in 1993 as a full-service commercial real estate company with expertise in real estate development of office buildings, retail and multi-family; provider of corporate real estate services; and leasing/managing a portfolio in excess of 3 million square feet – focusing in North Florida.
My role is managing the Asset Management department responsible for asset and property management, operations, finance and construction. I lead a team 8 in Jacksonville.
Take time to meet each member and get to know them as they have vast knowledge to share and are interested in helping all members succeed professionally and personally. The CREW Network has allowed me access to members in multiple cities in Florida and that has been an invaluable resource.
What is the best networking experience at CREW? Every event has provided me an opportunity to get to know fellow members in more depth. In addition, when speakers provide updates in their field I have been able to meet new people that I would not otherwise have had access to.
In the years you’ve been a member what has been your favorite activity? The opportunities to have access to information about current economic conditions and important local/national issues.
