DALLAS, TX - Cushman & Wakefield announced that the commercial real estate services firm has hired Grant Raymond and Asher Hall as Senior Directors. They will join the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group as the team’s first Dallas-based brokers.
Raymond and Hall will focus on multifamily investment sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and their addition marks a strategic effort to expand the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group’s existing presence both throughout Dallas and statewide. They will also work alongside Ben Fuller and John Carr who are based in Austin and lead the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory group’s multifamily business throughout Texas.
“Grant and Asher have established a track record that is extensive across a variety of asset classes in DFW. Their experience will accelerate the Texas expansion efforts immediately,” said Ben Fuller, a Texas leader with the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group. “Having two top performers with an exceptional amount of execution experience join the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group is a powerful combination.”
Raymond and Hall were formerly with Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) where they represented investors at the institutional and private level in the acquisition and disposition of multifamily assets throughout Northern Texas. Over the past three and a half years, Raymond and Hall facilitated the sale of $9 billion in total sales volume and were involved in transacting 50,000 units that ranged from value-add, core plus, and new construction assets.
“The Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic, professional, and hands-on multifamily teams in the industry,” added Doug Jones, Managing Principal for Cushman & Wakefield’s Dallas Fort-Worth operations. “We’re committed to strengthening our client-centric experience, which is critically dependent on the addition of specialized, industry-leading talent in key markets.”
“Asher and I look forward to continuing the growth of the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group in Dallas-Fort Worth and further benefiting our clients under Cushman & Wakefield’s synergetic sales platform,” said Raymond. “Ben and John’s goals to grow the company’s business in Texas, coupled with the Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group’s client relationships and expertise will be complementary to me and Asher’s intended goals.”
“We are excited to enhance and grow the firm’s multifamily platform, as Dallas-Fort Worth continues to see strong fundamentals and remain a top-tier market for investors across the globe,” said Hall.
“Texas is a major multifamily market within the Sunbelt, making it critical for our firm to continue growing there and finding ways to maximize the multifamily services we offer to existing and prospective clients in the state’s key cities,” noted John O’Neill, President, U.S. Multifamily Capital Markets. “We are thrilled to have Grant and Asher joining our dominant Sunbelt team.”
