After Jerome J. Herman (Jerry) was discharged from the military, he began to search for a business venture that would enable him to be self employed while requiring little start-up capital. He founded J.J. Herman & Associates, Inc., a commercial real estate brokerage, in 1960 to help companies find suitable locations for their businesses. At the time, many gas stations were opening up, so Jerry began calling oil companies to determine if they were interested in buying properties for new filling stations. He built his business by working from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm every day seeking out the owners of available properties, learning their asking prices, and creating a market for these properties by calling every oil company he knew to inform them of what was available. We met with Jerry recently, and listened as he described the services J.J. Herman & Associates, Inc. offers;
