Elie co-founded The Nightingale Group, LLC, with partner Simon Singer, in 2005. During the Company’s first years in business, the partners acquired seventeen commercial properties. Working with Simon, Elie negotiates contracts, structures financing, and manages each property in the firm’s expanding portfolio.
Elie is the classic entrepreneur -- the kind of kid who made a mint selling and trading baseball cards and candy growing up. Who made a mini-business out of ordering 10 pizzas and selling it by the slice. So it’s no coincidence that his first real job was starting a business. In this case a network engineering business. And when that wasn’t enough for him, Elie partnered with Simon Singer, working on real estate investments during the evenings in what would become The Nightingale Group, LLC.
They two of them began concentrating on commercial property acquisition in 2003, pri-marily functioning in an owner’s representative capacity. Since then Elie has brokered over $800 million of real estate—deals ranging from $5 million to $50 million—before starting The Nightingale Group.
