Key Leadership Lessons from Mark Gleiberman’s Journey

  • Focus is a force multiplier: Sticking to one niche—existing multifamily—helped MG Properties avoid distractions and compound results over decades.

  • Resilience beats timing: Navigating the S&L crisis, the Great Financial Crisis, and rate hikes proves that “safe” doesn’t mean slow when you think long term.

  • Culture scales returns: DRIVE—Dedication, Respect, Integrity, Value, Empathy—creates retention, trust, and performance that outlast market cycles.
