RE Log - Spring 2024

SPRING 2024 Ransom Everglades LOG 7 Ryan Shear ’01 took a break from a busy workday to share his thoughts on “REconnecting” for this magazine. During the course of a 16-minute interview, his phone beeped twice with incoming calls. Both calls came from fellow RE alumni. AndrewWarman ’02 and Sam Agnoli ’07 wanted to talk to Shear about ongoing real estate development projects that he ultimately oversees. Shear hired them both, along with Adelaida Albir ’11 , to work at the real-estate development firm in Miami that he helped found. The fellow Raiders now cross paths daily at Property Markets Group (PMG) on the 13th floor of a sleek glass building on Biscayne Boulevard that sits across from Bayside and down the block from the Freedom Tower. “Ransom Everglades is this phenomenal school,” said Shear, a managing partner of PMG. “I had a 10-out-of-10 experience when I was there. You know you are getting great people, thoughtful, smart, and they care about Miami. It’s an easy hire … It’s all organic connections. It has been beneficial to me by a long shot, so I’m very grateful for it.” The mini RE hub at PMG is one of many REconnections that illustrate the unity, quality, power and depth of the RE community into which Ransom Everglades students graduate. RE’s advancement office counts nearly two dozen alumni who, like Shear, currently employ or recently hired fellow RE alumni. And those job connections offer just one example of the REconnections that bring members of the Ransom Everglades community back together. Six RE families (see story on page 11) recently hit a significant milestone – each hit a third generation of Ransom REconnect Adelaida Albir ’11, Andrew Warman '02, Ryan Shear '01, Sam Agnoli '07
