AT&T, Citicorp and FedEx were among the first major clients to tap Fischer’s expertise in managing important real estate assets. Cliff’s vision and understanding of many real estate markets have since benefitted countless corporate real estate departments nationwide, and his expertise has led to Fischer’s impressive long-term relationships with many corporate real estate executives, including several Fortune 500 companies.
