Joel Greene, President of Condo Hotel Center
Background & Experience
 Joel Greene is a graduate of the University of Florida and a licensed real estate broker. He has always worked in the areas of commercial real estate.
Originally, he specialized in the sale of apartment buildings and shopping strip centers. But in 1988 he joined his father's business, Sheldon Greene & Associates, Inc., established in 1970, where he focused his attention on hotels and motels.
In 2002 he began to see the first hints of the budding condo hotel market. He worked with Sheldon to launch a new division of the company called Condo Hotel Center and assumed the role of president.
Corporate Philosophy
Under Joel's leadership, Condo Hotel Center has grown rapidly and extended its reach from Florida condo hotels to properties throughout the U.S. and worldwide.
"We built Condo Hotel Center based on the premise that buyers are intelligent and savvy. If you give them accurate detailed information, they can analyze a property and determine whether it's right for them. We won't provide them with developers' color brochures that offer the sizzle but not the steak. We give them the meat and potatoes, the facts." Joel explained.
"No hype or hard sell is needed. That's been our guiding philosophy from the start - to become a reliable, trusted information source on condo hotels."
Memberships
Joel has been a member of the Greater Miami & the Beaches Board of Realtors for almost 20 years. For much of that time he has sat on the board's Grievance Committee and Professional Standards and Ethics Committee.
