Metro Brokers Moe Giroux pleased with his success dispite the economy

BrokerIPTV: Good afternoon. We are in the lobby of the Palace Hotel. We are at Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco 2008 and I have Moe Giroux. Moe is the president of Metro Brokers and welcome Moe.

Moe Giroux: Thank you.

BrokerIPTV: So which office do you work out of Moe?

Moe Giroux: The Littleton South West office in the Ken Caryl Business Center.

BrokerIPTV: Well, I have been... we have been wandering around here on the floor and the seminars. It looks like there are a lot of Metro Brokers attending this year's Inman event.

Moe Giroux: I think we have about 22 this year. It is pretty exciting.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah, I bet that is truly exciting because I think there is... the people that come here realize that a lot of the things that come to shape the future real estate start here one or two years ahead of time.

Moe Giroux: It is the cutting edge, that is what is happening between real estate and technology. This is my fourth Inman conference and I hope to keep coming for the rest of them.

BrokerIPTV: So, what are you looking to find out this year? I mean what is your take on this?

Moe Giroux: Oh, I just enjoy listening to them here. Obviously, we are in a tough real estate market now. They don't know where prices are going. Foreclosures are up. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, where everyone is hearing about this stuff and its interesting to hear other people's take on it.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah. I guess we've been here kind of during good times. Now, we are here during some downtimes, but it looks like most of the people [Voice Cross Over]

Moe Giroux: Well, it is interesting, but actually, I am having the best year of my career right now. I mean there are opportunities out there, when there are properties to be bought, and investors are taking advantage of it. Denver is a little bit different than the rest of the United States anyway. You know we are always kind of out of cycle; when things are up other places, we are down and vice versa and I think we've hit our bottom in Denver and we are moving forward.

BrokerIPTV: Excellent. How about today's keynote? Did you catch that?

Moe Giroux: Oh, yeah. Very interesting. You know listening to different economists from across the country and they all have different takes on it too. Nobody knows where we are going you know. It is just going to take time. We will get out of it.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah, I think we all know the definition of what an expert is. So, it is nice to get other people's opinions.

Moe Giroux: Absolutely.

BrokerIPTV: Well, we appreciate your sharing your views and opinions with us and enjoy the rest of the show.

Moe Giroux: Thanks.
