History

The name Plotkin has long been associated with real estate in Western Massachusetts. Our founder, Samuel D. Plotkin, began his career in the field in 1963 as a broker and property manager in his father-in-law’s firm, Nirenstein’s National Realty Map Co. In addition to providing commercial and residential real estate services, the firm published the Nirenstein Real Estate Atlas, a national reference tool used by businesses and corporations to identify available commercial locations within all major U.S. cities. Major retailers such as S.S. Kresge and Sears and Roebuck used these atlases. The New York Times announced the delivery of a two-volume publication in January 22, 1956. Before creating the atlas company, he was involved in the  real estate business in Springfield, Massachusetts. He coined the term “100 percent location” by standing on street corners with a number counter, and counting how many people walked by at 12 noon. This data provided important demographic information that was invaluable to retailers looking for the best location in all major cities around the country to do business.

Evan Plotkin is the third generation to serve as the President of NAI Plotkin and has been involved in the commercial real estate industry for over 3 decades. Much like his grandfather and father, Evan has real estate in his blood. The firm’s core management team continues to subscribe to the same business philosophy practiced by its founder, one that places quality relationships at the heart of every real estate transaction.
