Hinerfeld Realty to Focus on Commercial Real Estate Properties

SCRANTON, PA—The experienced commercial brokers at Hinerfeld Realty Company have always had a commitment to industrial properties, and regional economic development that depends on appropriate commercial facilities. Now the company is pleased to announce a renewed identity and an exclusive focus—Hinerfeld Commercial Real Estate will work solely in the commercial real estate market.

Hinerfeld Realty Company was founded in 1934 by Sydney Hinerfeld, and for more than 70 years has played an important role in the industrial and commercial development of Northeastern Pennsylvania. John Cognetti, President, purchased the firm from Mr. Hinerfeld in 1985, adding his own experience, extensive ties to the local business community and dynamic interest in the commercial development of the greater Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area as well as the Northeastern Pennsylvania metropolitan area.

Mr. Cognetti’s network of contacts in commercial real estate includes membership in SIOR (Society of Industrial and Office Realtors)—the only broker in the area to be a member of this society—CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) and IOREBA (Industrial and Office Real Estate Brokers Association of the New York Metropolitan Area). Under Mr. Cognetti’s leadership, Hinerfeld Realty Company was a founding member of Penn’s Northeast and a founding member of Tri-State Commercial Real Estate Board of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

With experience in such prominent sales and leases as the Cargill Office Building in Clarks Summit, The Catholic Youth Center in Scranton, the Premium Brands Building in Wilkes-Barre and properties in the Glenmaura Corporate Center, Mid Valley Industrial Park, Abington Executive Park and Shady Lane Business Park, Hinerfeld Commercial Real Estate is poised to carry on the tradition of market knowledge and professional execution long associated with the Hinerfeld Realty name. The firm remains committed to serving its clients in its new identity wherever Hinerfeld Commercial Real Estate is at work.
