CBRE Adds Gabe Tovar to Multifamily Investment Sales Team in Kansas City

CBRE announced that Gabe Tovar has joined its Kansas City Multifamily Team as Senior Vice President. Tovar will advise investors and developers in the sale of multifamily and build-to-rent communities.

Tovar will partner with Senior Vice President Max Helgeson in leading their five-person Investment Sales team. The team works closely with CBRE’s Debt & Structured Finance and Land Advisory practices to represent clients throughout the multifamily lifecycle.

“After many years of Max and I competing against each other, I am thrilled for our new partnership,” said Tovar. “We both approach the business with an advisory mindset. Pairing that with CBRE’s umatched resources means that not only will we execute across the capital stack, but we’ll also help investors position assets early in the process and implement strategies that will drive value during a transaction.”

Tovar brings a depth of experience from his previous role at Northmarq, where he advised on multifamily transactions and co-led the firm’s national build-to-rent team. Gabe began his career with an internship and brokerage role at CBRE in Des Moines, Iowa. He has his CCIM designation and holds his bachelor’s in finance and real estate from the University of Northern Iowa.

“It’s no secret that market conditions are challenging and projects are becoming increasingly complex, -which are requiring skilled brokers to navigate an increasingly complicated web of dynamics” said Leah FitzGerald, Senior Managing Director for CBRE’s Kansas City office. “Adding Gabe to this team emphasizes CBRE’s commitment to being a trusted advisor for our clients and expands our capabilities to provide tailored solutions. I am incredibly excited that we have such a cohesive team capable of helping our clients maximize the value of their assets, whether through physical improvements, dispositions, financial restructuring, or specialized multifamily services.”
