Haber inks book deal

Warburg Realty’s Jason Haber takes on "social entrepreneurship" in new tome

Simply selling real estate wasn’t enough for Warburg Realty’s Jason Haber. The sales director landed a book deal with Entrepreneur Press, and in May, he will publish his take on social entrepreneurship in “The Business of Good.”

“People once went to work for government in the hopes of helping to change the world,” said Haber, who worked for several elected officials in the past and ran (unsuccessfully) for City Council back in 2001. Now, nonprofits and even for-profit companies have an even greater impact than working for the government, he argues in the book. Haber interviewed more than 30 sources and included a first-person account of starting real estate brokerage Rubicon Property, which he sold to Warburg in 2014.
