"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it," said Oprah Winfrey, while preparing for her first marathon. After completing 12 marathons from New York to Berlin, Ira Weidberg certainly has what it takes–persistence, dedication, and determination–to not only finish a 26.2 mile race, but to also accomplish any task in front of him. His competitive nature and drive to succeed are passionately employed as a real estate broker who will do what it takes to achieve your buying or selling goals.
