Flannigan-Ewing Real Estate, based in Federal Way, Wash., was formed in 1986. Principals and founders Randy Flannigan and Mike Ewing created the independent company whose agents handled industrial, office, retail, hotel and investment real estate. All told, the company has been involved in more than 3,000 real estate transactions.
"In addition to our local market ties, this merger with Colliers gives our clients direct access to the national market, the benefits of national advertising, extensive research and expanded client service," Flannigan says. "This, along with the ability to offer property management, was a huge incentive to embrace the merger of our companies," Ewing adds.
The pair says the merger is indicative of a trend in the commercial real estate industry to strengthen local and regional brokerage firms by joining forces with national and international companies.
Colliers International has been a commercial real estate leader in the Northwest for over 23 years with property management a large part of its operations. "Expanding our Tacoma office cements Colliers' commitment to growth in Pierce County," says Rob Aigner, Colliers' Northwest regional manager.
The merger will increase the size of the Colliers/Tacoma office to 20. Colliers will move to a new location in mid-September. The new office, in the 1101 Broadway Building, will be centrally located Downtown, enabling the company closer proximity to its clients and the Tacoma business district. Frank Friedman, senior vice-president of Colliers, is managing director of the Tacoma office.
