I pulled a 3 x 5 card from an IUPUI campus bulletin board soliciting employment for a financial analysis position in a company called MS Management.  Later I found the company to be Melvin Simon Management, the property management division for what was becoming the country's largest developer of enclosed shopping malls.  Twelve of us provided centralized property management for all the shopping centers across the country. Augustin: My father was my first mentor, showcasing honesty and strong family values. Also, Bob Hauk, CFO of the early F.C. Tucker Company, who encouraged discipline, organization and accountability. ICBR: What is the most important thing you have learned by working in commercial real estate? Augustin: The need for "trustworthiness," as major company decisions are impacted by the information we collect, counsel that we give and the network solutions that we as commercial realtors provide, affecting a company financially and the lives of their employees. ICBR: What is your current professional goal(s)? Augustin: Serving with ICBR's Board leadership is my last big board participation.  I enjoy mentoring younger professionals and sharing my experiences.  Serving on local special interest committees helps me continue to learn new ways of finding successful solutions for my clients and friends.  Real estate brokerage is in my blood so full retirement is not in any immediate plans. Check back next month to learn about December's ICBR Member of the Month!
