Tighe Leaves Insignia, Heads for CBRE

NEW YORK CITY- Uber broker Mary Ann Tighe has severed ties with her long-time employer, Insignia/ESG, and has reportedly signed a deal at rival CB Richard Ellis.

Sources close to the situation told GlobeSt.com earlier this week of Tighe’s imminent departure but calls to the broker were not returned by press time. And attempts on Wednesday afternoon to contact other Insignia and CBRE executives also were unsuccessful, possibly because of early departures owing to the July 4 holiday.

Reports published yesterday say Tighe handed in her resignation on Tuesday morning and that a deal with CBRE has been ironed out. Industry watchers are waiting with baited breath to see if the move will be addressed at a press conference scheduled by CBRE for Monday morning.
