Diligent. Proactive. Motivated.
“I add value by working diligently and providing the type of service that I would expect for myself.”
Veer joined the First National team in the spring of 2020. In addition to his educational background in finance and real estate, his industry experience includes private real estate investment. In that role, responsibilities included overseeing construction/renovation of multi-family properties, evaluating potential acquisitions and renting renovated units. Being proactive is a key element of Veer’s diligence. He sets personal deadlines to ensure ongoing efficiency. Relying on his critical analysis capabilities, Veer is highly motivated to excel in this role and further develop his commercial real estate knowledge.
When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Veer watches and plays sports, samples new music and dines out with friends.
