Team Overview
Download Team Brochure
Transaction Management Experts specializing in Global Advisory & Transaction Services.
The team facilitates and executes the full range of real estate transactions (acquisitions, dispositions, sale-leasebacks, build-to-suits, etc.) across a client’s entire geographic footprint.
Our focus is on the client, partnering with them to develop the real estate solutions suited to their corporate goals and objectives. What makes us unique — and sets us above the rest — is that we serve exclusively as an extension of our client's real estate department, thereby giving them a personal real estate network tailored to their organization. The fact that we are available "on-call" but not on our client's payroll saves them from having to increase staff and maintain many different brokerage relationships across the country and abroad.
We have participated in thousands of transactions, representing owners and occupiers of commercial properties. This team is recognized as a top Global Workplace Solutions provider and has been a valued partner for their clients in transactions located in more than 50 countries globally.
We look forward to partnering with you to deliver innovative solutions and services to support your real estate needs.
