Ryan said: “The professionalism of the entire team at Fasig-Tipton was on full display today. “ELiTE sales, as always, processed the transaction quickly. We only talked about the idea with Brad (Weisbord) last Wednesday. Corbin Blumberg from Starlight came up with the idea. This was a couple of weeks ago and I’m glad we’ve put it to work. People have played their part and I see this type of online trading becoming more common.”
