SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - McGuire Real Estate has merged with
Vision Real Estate in Marin County, its third merger in less than a year.
"This merger provides new opportunities for McGuire and its clients. With
the addition of the Vision team, we are able to extend our presence in
Southern Marin County. We waited for the right opportunity to partner with
a technologically-savvy marketplace leader such as Vision," said Charles
Moore, CEO of McGuire Real Estate.
Ron Parks, founder of Vision Real Estate, added, "This merger provides
significant opportunities for Vision's clients and associates, providing
expanded technical resources and international marketing while retaining
the local, boutique experience." Mr. Parks will remain with McGuire as a
top agent in the Corte Madera office.
This opportunity is part of a larger plan for McGuire to expand its
regional presence. In 2008, McGuire enhanced its presence in San
Francisco's South of Market district with the merger of Urban Bay
Properties, and in 2009 increased its footprint in the East Bay with the
merger of Maison Nouveau in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland. With the
merger of Vision Real Estate, McGuire increases its presence in Marin
County, adding offices in Corte Madera and Tiburon to its existing presence
in Mill Valley.
"We believe the economic downturn offers great opportunities to merge with
like-minded, boutique real estate brokerages in the Bay Area and expand
McGuire's footprint in the Bay Area," said Mr. Moore. "Our goal is to
maintain the integrity of our 90-year-old company while providing better
support for our clients."
Heidi Pay will manage McGuire's three Marin offices.
