CHICAGO, IL – Congratulations to Interra Realty Director Max Grossman on being named a CRE Future Leader by RE Journals!

Max Grossman is Director at Chicago-based Interra Realty. A relationship-focused, solutions-oriented professional, Max leverages a background in prospecting, business development, account management and contract negotiations that has enabled him to rise from Investment Sales Associate to Director in just a few years.

Tell us about your background. Where’d you grow up? Where’d you go to school?
I grew up in the suburbs outside of Detroit and attended school at Michigan State University. I moved to Chicago in Fall 2014 and have lived here ever since. I worked in a few different industries right out of college in roles focused on business development and sales. It was in the early years that I gained valuable experience and built the foundation of where I am at today.

How did you get your start in the industry?
I had always been intrigued by real estate and the entrepreneurial aspect of the business. I wanted to find an opportunity where I could take my experience and skills in working with people and complex transactions and merge that with a career that would be rewarding, fulfilling and challenging. In Summer 2018, after working in sales for a financial technology company, I knew it was the right time to make the move into the commercial real estate industry. Luckily, I was able to find Interra Realty. They offered everything I was looking for and were willing to invest in me for the long haul. I knew right after I left the initial interview that Interra was where I was meant to be.
