Rose, Avison Young\u2019s chair and CEO, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cWhat we have been looking for is to bring in more top real estate professionals who want to work with another couple of hundred partner firm to take a long-term approach to client solutions and bring resources there where we the partners have not only operational accountability, but financial and reputational accountability, which our partners believe have been the disconnect in the market over the last 15 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mason Partners offers a complete range of services, including tenant representation, landlord representation and investment sales, to real estate users, owners and investors on a local, regional and national basis. The firm provides services related to all property sector types, while specializing in land and corporate transactions.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, Mason co-founders Todd Mason and Jeff Lindenberger have joined Avison Young as principals. Tommy LeBlanc also joins as a broker and Andrea Gardner as a client services coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are successful real estate professional who have delivered for their clients,\u201d Rose said. \u201cThere are a ton of changes out there. The way the Internet is impacting the manufacturing business and retail business, the need for professions who understand the corporate client and understand their land needs has made all the sense in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Avison Young opened its Houston office in June 2010 followed by a Dallas office in July 2011. The acquisition will further expand the company\u2019s market and business-line coverage in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only acquisitions we will make is to get to the people who serve great clients. The people who own the firms we compete against have no connection to clients,\u201d Rose said. \u201cThis was adding to people who believe the same way and it was the matter of filling a geography. What we have been doing and will be doing is collecting family members who believe in this approach and they clearly agree with our approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like us on facebook:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Commercial-Property-Executive\/258033884191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Commercial-Property-Executive\/258033884191<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s largest independently owned commercial real estate services company, Avison Young, continues to expand its offerings with the acquisition of Mason Partners, a Houston-based commercial real estate brokerage company, for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004057822,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1589,21783,21742,21747],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004057821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-houston","category-investment","category-latest","category-office"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
