“I had an excellent mentor, and worked up to being a trainer of salespeople,” Holland says. “I then trained a lot of new employees, which has been a very rewarding experience. I’ve worked my way up the ranks, and had mentors around me that helped me shape how I help others.”

The holder of a Bachelor of Arts degree magna cum laude from Hartwick College, Holland is a member of the National Multi Housing Council, the New Jersey Apartment Association and the Apartment Association of Greater Philadelphia. He is a licensed real estate broker in the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Part of Holland’s new role will be to grow the company into new markets, he continues, an extension of his original goals more than two decades ago. He was brought on board to expand the company beyond New Jersey into Pennsylvania. Since then, Kislak also has properties in Delaware, and is eyeing Connecticut and Florida.

“The challenges now are to grow the sales in uncertain economic times,” Holland says. “But the property we sell – apartments and other investment properties -- is in demand. And instead of just traditional multifamily, we’ve expanded into retail, office and mixed-use.”
