Commercial broker Robert Khodadadian has left Eastern Consolidated to devote all his time to off-market deals with Skyline Properties, a company he founded before the recession.

“Nobody wants to deal with exclusives,” Khodadadian told TRD last month. “I can’t count how many times a buyer has told me that when they see an email from a big company, they delete it.”
