LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Mar 21, 2013) - The Las Vegas office of Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce added three new brokers to its roster, Sharon Beesley, Adam Collins and Curtis Sanders -- all of whom joined the company from the NAI Global Las Vegas office.
NAI Global recently made the decision to sell off their Las Vegas franchise license and close down their NAI Las Vegas office at the end of March. The decision created a unique opportunity for both the NAI brokers involved and the commercial real estate companies in the market all looking to add good brokers.
"It's rare for recruiting to be done out in the open, with each broker looking to find the right fit by comparing different commercial real estate companies and services against one another. We were fortunate to pick up three very talented brokers," said Ed Turpin, Managing Director for the Las Vegas office of Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce. "This is just the beginning of some great things to come for our office. Look for more announcements soon. We welcome Sharon, Adam and Curtis to our team and look forward to adding their expertise to our investment, hotel/gaming and industrial teams."
