After that they focus on their commission rather than the needs of their client. Most also never take the time to stay current with what it takes to be successful in Today's Market. What worked 5 years ago or even 1 year ago is very different than what is working NOW.Shakir Ali is a tech-savvy native of South Jersey and graduate of Rutgers University with a passion for civic service and helping others through various volunteer and charitable work throughout the state. This desire to help others culminated when he was able to donate one of his kidney's to his father, providing the gift of life. This act of kindness didn't stop a former employer from laying him off while he was recuperating. It was this event that ultimately led to his career in real estate. Encouraged to seek his state license by his mother who had invested in real estate in the past and his step father who was a licensed Realtor©, Shakir teamed up with Bill Becker one of the area's most successful real estate investors and educators. He now had the opportunity to help others in need in a meaningful way.
