Anthony Stern
Born and educated in the UK, Tony was hired as a real estate analyst in 1976 by TMGE, a boutique real estate development firm. Based in London, the firm closed on 2-3 deals per year targeting the residential market. The total active portfolio had an average value at that time of $3-5 million. The firm produced well above market returns for its private investors. In 1982 Tony left TMGE and began his own real estate development firm. He purchased 2-3 properties per year and built up an active portfolio of 10 properties. In parallel to a career of real estate transactions, Tony was also a successful entrepreneur. He acquired and sold several companies mostly in the UK’s embryonic wireless communication sector. In 1986, he had developed one of the UK’s leading fashion watch brands, “Claude Dolphin”, which he sold in 1990 to Monarch Industries. In 1992, Tony founded Star Refining, an international precious metal refining company with offices in most major cities in Europe, Los Angeles and New York in the US, Shanghai and Beijing in China. Tony sold his interests in the business in October 2010 while the company had $22M in revenue and 60 employees. Today it is still a thriving international company. In 1999, Tony co-founded Maker Mends Ltd, a jewelry repair company. By 2010, Maker Mends had become Europe’s largest repairing jeweler for the jewelry retail industry with workshops based in the UK and Thailand. Tony sold his interest in October 2013, and the company continues to grow year over year. Since 2001, Tony has been investing steadily in the US property market. He brings into play a large network of business experts on each and every deal, employing the same business rationale that he has used in his 30 year business career. Since 2013, Tony has been developing real estate full time.
