His family owned and operated apartment buildings in Boston, and when he was still a teenager, he\u2019d spend Saturdays at those properties, vacuuming the halls and cleaning the pools. Back then he figured that he\u2019d probably stick close to home and wind up working in the family business, but as it turned out, he was destined for much wider horizons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As founder and president of Madison International Realty, Dickerman leads a company with an uncommon focus on the secondaries market and a footprint that encompasses offices on three continents. Since its founding a quarter century ago, Madison International has raised upward of $8 billion from scores of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" data-attachment-id=\"1004800424\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/investment-matters-cre-capital-with-cross-border-clout\/investment-matters-0526\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/Investment-Matters-0526.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"900,675\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Investment Matters 0526\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Top, Madison International Realty President Ronald Dickerman; bottom, Paul Rosta of CPE..&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/Investment-Matters-0526.jpg?w=900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/Investment-Matters-0526.jpg?w=900\" alt=\"On left, graphic of a chart superimposed on an image of a city skyline; on right, photo of Madison International Realty's Ronald Dickerman above photo of CPE's Paul Rosta, both within circular borders\" class=\"wp-image-1004800424\" style=\"width:401px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/Investment-Matters-0526.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/Investment-Matters-0526.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/Investment-Matters-0526.jpg?resize=768,576 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Top, Madison International Realty President Ronald Dickerman; bottom, Paul Rosta of CPE..<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In our conversation, Dickerman tells us how he came to focus on the secondaries market, and fills us in on Madison International\u2019s latest corporate-level moves.
